i mean there must 100,000+++ openSUSE users, at least...if only 400 are members/contributors i think we have a problem much larger than just not having a clear strategy for the future..
Plus: If every contributor was a member, what's the point of making "members" a separate class.
please correct me if i'm reading your point incorrectly: what is the benefit (to openSUSE, the project, the community, etc) of establishing a "class" system and putting one "class" above the others? [now i know that a large number of earthings who still consider social/economic classes as something important and needed considerable attention to 'climb' from one to another--but, in a world wide, mostly volunteer software building/distributing/supporting organization? come on...] doing that just allows folks to think like and draft lines like "we will put contributors first" whether it is a good thing to do (for the community and openSUSE), or not... to me, it just seems like a way for some folks to _feel_ important, grab/hold on to power, decide who can get into the inner circle AND be the only voters in deciding which way to go...sounds kinda Orwellian to me...four legs good, two legs better.. dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
