"what can we do now if Ubuntu is more attractive to normal users?", which lead to this experienced users/developers idea.
I know that marketing always works like "identify a market, and act on that" - but I think in our case of openSUSE that is wrong. We should more be proud of what we can and have, and present that openly and self confidently. We have a lot, and that will attract a lot of people such users, developers, bee keepers, automobile racers, etc if we tell them. We want all of them, there is no need to "preselect" on devs.
Now people will say, "But you need focus", yes, and the focus of openSUSE for me always was clearly: - transparency and an open collaboration model between company and community - a strong free software focus - technical excellence in quality and system design - opportunity and room to realize "your idea" with rich free infrastructure - a nice welcoming community
We do very well in (almost) each of the points. But we fail to present that. Nice "material" does not really tell people that. Enthusiastic community does.
Thanks Klass, this translate and give substance to my personal opinion, of it's better to have a kind of "including" message than splitting "market".
