Voting for the board does not influence the direction of the project as by our guiding principles the board does not direct the project: "The board should provide guidance and support existing governance structures, but shouldn't direct or control development, since community mechanisms exist to accomplish the goals of the project."
Fair enough, thus from your point of view the only thing that determines the "direction of the project" is the technical aspect.
Not at all. From my point of view development includes much more than just programming or packaging or other purely technical aspects. It's about all what is needed to create a product and bring it to users. This includes stuff like marketing, translations, helping users, testing our distributions, giving feedback, organizing events, and much more. Supporting all of this, the technical and the non-technical things, and empowering the people who do it, that's where the magic happens. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum@suse.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
