I don't very often post, but felt so inclined this time. Disclaimer, I am a Novell employee. The idea/thought that we all went silent is kind of annoying... you'd rather us be constantly active on the list instead of fixing bugs... I didn't really find time to post on MLs or forum or wiki while digging through gtk+ code to fix a bug. You guys pick bugs or emailing... Also, about the single sponsor thing... How often did you guys buy the box set? Have you donated hardware? Have you maybe paid someone's travel? Have you paid for yourself to go to a conference to promote openSUSE? Or is this just about getting more for nothing? Has Novell been that horrible of a steward over openSUSE that you have to get rid of it at all costs? Under Novell, huge thanks to the suse engineers, you get to enjoy a free distro, free build service (that is open source and you can run your own), openFate (also free and open source), kiwi (an awesome image building tool), suse studio (not all open source, but free), flown some community people around, banshee, the mono project (whether you like it or not I don't really care.. still on the list), etc All we seem to do is complain about Novell and its engineers... Why don't you start publicly thanking them for the work that they do do?
