I meant anti-GNOME sentiments might be fed by the strange and unhelpful GNOME favouritism.
I'm asking this question as objectively and impartially as I can, because personally, I perceive a fairly equal amount of attention between KDE and GNOME. What do you feel lends to an unhelpful favouritism?
I think enough has been said about this before. If I repeat what I and others have already said, the whole thing will just blow up again.
I only repsonded to Gerald's mail because what I had written could be misinterpreted as an attack on current openSUSE management, and I wanted to make clear that was not my intentions.
Well, as a board member, I have a great interest in these matters and finding ways to resolve conflicts of perception. You may have attempted to clear up an unintended attack to Gerald, but you closed that statement with another attack.
If you don't wish to elaborate, that's fine and I respect that. But it ties my hands to make sane and rational recommendations as a representative of the community. And, unfortunately, it comes off like a hit-and-run.
A first step would be to find out whether Novell's acting and decisions are projected on openSUSE by the community and non-users or not, i.e. is openSUSE seen as mostly independent from the rest of Novell or not. This includes e.g. technical, political as well as financial aspects. If openSUSE is seen as independent, i.e. whatever happens within Novell (decisions taken, investments made, contract signed etc.) is not projected on openSUSE then one has to only look at the treatment of x and y within openSUSE. If whatever Novell does is projected on openSUSE, e.g. the Microsoft deal coming up when users discuss the pros and cons of openSUSE, then one has to sum-up all resources and decisions Novell took over the last years to find out whether its claim to treat x and y equally holds.
