[...] As for independence: do we want / need this? Just look at all the services provided by Novell for the project: - openSUSE BuildService -> How many servers can 'we' as community afford without a partner, who is going to host it? Who is taking care of the energy bill? - Bugzilla: Why splitting it off? What's the real gain (other than having a different branded stylesheet?) (maybe having a CNAME from bugzilla.opensuse.org would be nice though; one that brings me to bugzilla, and not to en.opensuse.org/Submit_a_Bug )
No problem do change the CNAME. We discussed this in bugzilla and thought this way might be the better way.
- Bandwidth for mirror syncs: How much bandwidth can we afford without a strong parter to our side?
Nothing against the idea of appearing as a strong project and putting a point to it: but consider everything when shouting loud out for 'let's get independent from Novell'.
And I think that's the discussion we should have: Are we a strong project? And if not, how can we become one? How will you make this happen?
