openSUSE has evolved from SUSE Linux which was a distribution developed behind the firewall to a project with open mailing lists, bugzilla and wiki now to a real open source project. It's not anymore only Novell/SUSE employees that can do things - everybody in the community can get involved. That includes filing bug reports - like Richard does -, software translation, writing documentation, marketing the project and development. There might need to be some attitude adjustement for Novell developers for many of whom openSUSE is not the first priority and I'm happy to help with that when it gets pointed out to me. The question remains how to grow the openSUSE contributor community so that Richard doesn't need to learn C++ to get a bug fixed ;)
If you like to continue this thread, please followup on the opensuse-project mailing list with a different subject
I hear rumors Novell is for sale. Will opensuse get its own bugzilla independent from Novell? And what else needs to be done for opensuse to gain full independence?
Novell is a public traded company and it received an unfriendly offer for buy- out that was rejected. Let's not speculate what will or could happen but instead look where we want openSUSE to go.
Well you now have 3 rumours to contend with: that Novell is looking for someone to take it out it of its misery, that Google is thinking of buying Novell, and that the rival Linux distro Red Hat is also "in the race". Haven't heard any denials from Novell about this. Good luck. BC -- Attorney: All your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
