it's a curious but constant feature of human nature than one is more linked to groups they have donated money than to the one they receive money from.
the goal is to give people something where they can aggregate, because it's they own.
And this is precisely another reason I think this is a bad idea If people think that giving money to openSUSE means they are entitled to order what openSUSE does for them, that is totally wrong openSUSE is not _owned_ by it's sponsors, neither SUSE nor any private donations openSUSE doesn't have customers. We're not shipping a product and offering telephone, maintenance, and development support for customers paying an annual subscription (SUSE do that) We're _owned_ by our contributors. Contributions are the currency that matters. They can aggregate to openSUSE by contributing. They own openSUSE by contributing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
