How so?
Robert, I responded with a couple of examples where the community is clearly not "in complete ownership of their "baby"". That's all. I totally appreciate that e.g. yast and xen are open to contributors, but that's a far cry from complete community ownership. If you can point us to non-SUSE contributors to YaST, I agree that YasT is not entirely in the hands of SUSE. I did in fact once offer to maintain the LILO section of the bootloader module, but then LILO was deprecated, well .... the same thing happened for JFS fileystem support in the partitioner. There was never any call for help, btw.
Well, unless people complaining that there is no non-SUSE guy sending patches to YaST start actually sending some patches, there is a little somebody else can do.
And no call for help? No invitation to participate? Closed? Really?

I'm sorry, but blogspots and news-sites are just not the right places, Michal. In my opinion.
And what are the right places, in your opinion? We have pages in the openSUSE Wiki. We have a github.io page. We have sent mails to the openSUSE mailing lists. We have published in news.opensuse.org (several times) We have blogged about it in personal blogs aggregated in planet.opensuse.org. We have had talks and workshops in the last two openSUSE conferences. We are always available in the corresponding irc channel on freenode. I honestly think we have covered all the channels the openSUSE community use in a regular (and even not so regular) basis. So which "right places" are we missing? We will do our best trying to cover those channels too.
