With all due respect, Make "openSUSE the number 1 KDE distro" should be the goal/strategy of openSUSE KDE team and not the entire openSUSE project. For instance, it is foolish to ask the GNOME team to adhere
I agree and would even say this proposal does not build on one of our strengths which is having two tier 1 desktops and support for multiple desktops in general. This proposal will not bring us as project forward and I wouldn't support it either.

Just curios, why is Meego considered close to KDE, when its default mail client is Evolution, music player is Banshee, browser is Chrome etc.
I guess the train of thought is that QML is the advised application building language for MeeGo and QML is build on top of Qt which is used by KDE as well...
For the record, I don't hate KDE (or for that matter anything). There are some awesome KDE tools like kcachegrind, kscope, kompare etc. that I use almost everyday.
OTOH, "Should do more upstream work such that we can have a say in the direction of the projects" (irrespective of kde/gnome/kernel) is a much more meaningful strategy imho.
