Who are we if not developers or third parties? Haven't we discussed enough about targets, strategies, processes and such? That never worked out in a big frame. Yet, things like "E17 on openSUSE" seem to work. And that is because some people with interest on E17 sit down, meet each other, coordinate and get shit (oh, naughty word!!) work done. Do you think the definition of a goal would have incubated that? > > What aspects of SUSE work in openSUSE can we improve in 2013? If XMas-Man asked me, I'd say: I do not want to hear the "we at SUSE working on openSUSE..."-phrase permanentely. Is it important now where an active community member works? Well, maybe sometimes, we all know that, but I think its mentioned to often recently while it should not be important. You are community, as we are, or not? Furthermore I'd wish that more people from other SUSE groups than the openSUSE team again join openSUSE and actively contribute. That is something the SUSE openSUSE team could work on. > In general.....in which aspects should SUSE focus its activity for 2013 (in > openSUSE)? - try to make the distribution really good again. It is very good, but the spice, that makes it exceptional is missing here and there. - try to be an attractive project, especially for high profile people. These do not like discussions, but like to get on the technical point and do stuff. They're also not seeking out for too much rules, predefined leadership and these kind of things. More fun. - Play the trump: It's the OBS that has a big share of openSUSE's excellence. For that, it imo plays a too little role. Think more of openSUSE as the OBS powered system that makes OBS more beneficial for the users. Needs a bit phantasy I admit... Could go on, but probably its already way too far... >> open-slx is an example of the opportunities openSUSE has to become "business >> friendly" Open Source Press is another example. Transforming openSUSE into >> a business friendly ecosystem will be a major topic in the coming new >> action plan. I really had to read the sentence with openslx a couple of times. This can't be serious. Have you ever talked to someone involved? Apart from that, I do not understand the 'business-friendly' idea. Which business could be interested? IF businesses support linux distros, they will aim for all distros and not limit themselves to player two or so. And last but not least I fail to understand how the "new action plan" can "transform" openSUSE, which is our project, to something like a "business...ecosytem"? Who does such an action plan and who executes it? Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
