I agree with Dominique on this, if openSUSE goes this direction, I cannot see a single person working on GNOME switching to working on KDE. We even would lose directly since GNOME developers maintain packages that are needed for both GNOME and KDE or for the complete distribution.
And so I wonder why we have a strategy discussion at all. Perhaps we should have started with a "do want a change or not" discussion.
Greetings, Stephan
The strategy discussion started as a result of the Great Debate of 2009. Primarily, at least I observed, we saw two opposing views on what openSUSE was all about. One camp felt that openSUSE's strength would be better served if we gave more focus on one Desktop, and the other camp reminding us that all along, our strength has been that we had more than one tier 1 desktop. And as we looked around, we found that we had no clear distinction published anywhere that actually defined what our strengths were and why we were here in the first place. And having such definition does in fact help us in the long run to better manage and focus our efforts. The question that sitll remains is, what will that definition be, and we hope to see the outcome of that question settled in the near future.
