openSUSE is what the community makes out of it - and I consider myself and Novell part of the community.
this is not true. Novel may be benevolent it's still a dictator... See what openFATE will do in the future :-)
Can you elaborate on what you mean? (so we can try to fix it :-))
It's a bit silly to deny that Novell (whoever that is) doesn't have "veto power" in any important decision in openSUSE.
I know Novell has still too much power and we're trying to change that - and giving up power is not easy ;). So, please bear with us. And keep in mind that while there are many interesting things, we can not do everything ourselves, so feel empowered to change openSUSE!
Of course you probably didn't experience 10.1, so you can't possibly fully understand the full magnitude of what they're able and willing to do to us, if it suits them - and how little anyone can do about it, if there's something that Novell does or doesn't want.
Yes, 10.1 was a painfull experience - and we wouldn't have done it this way if we would have known before, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
