Besides that, why not let a open survey decide which strategy should be choosen? I wouldn't limit this to members only, because there are a lot of contributors, supporters, moderators, translators and maybe even groupies (hey we need more of them) out there who are no official member.
We discussed that during Strategy meetings and we agreed unanimously that this should be decided by openSUSE members.
Why?
Because it's really the simplest way to determine a group of people who should be able to vote. An open survey would be open to many different people, opening the risk that people completely external to the community come and vote for a strategy while they don't really care about openSUSE itself.
The question is why are all the people you're listing not members yet? They should probably be!
I'm not a member, and apart from not being able to participate in decision-making I haven't seen a need yet to bother with an application process. Actually I think the openness and simplicity of taking part in openSUSE development without having to bother with membership, mandatory mentoring etc. as in other comparable projects is a strength of openSUSE. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
