By the way, openSUSE is more an upstream project. With the start of SUSE Studio we (and Novell) allowed the vast majority to easy clone openSUSE´s and Novell´s techonology.

That's an interesting point, Kim. Thinking back on the strategy discussions, one of the proposed strategies was that openSUSE become a base for derivatives. So if that is the project's intent, then Balsam becomes a natural progression and at least from a product standpoint, that's actually something we see (or saw) as desirable. I still would like to understand better why the community site was setup largely out of view of the openSUSE community, but even in that view, it makes some sense to me as well; a derivative of the distro might necessarily have its own community that is a derivative of the openSUSE community as well.
