Well, I think the interviews should start with the new openSUSE project manager, Stephan Kulow, followed by Andreas Jaeger. The others could be, humm (difficult choose)... Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett, Stephan Binner, Klaus Kämpf, Adrian Schröter, Martin Lasarsch and Pascal Bleser (not in a preference order at all).
P.S.: Sorry the others openSUSE members for not pick you up but the above people paid me more than you to say their names :-P (kidding!!)

There are lots and lots and lots of people in the community, so the very least IMHO would be to alternate between someone from Novell staff and someone from the community.
Yesterday on IRC we came up with a ridiculously long list of names from the community to interview. And of course, there are lots of people @Novell working on and around our favourite distribution we'd like to know better ;)
But indeed, Coolo should be amongst the first, given his new position ;)

You should have gotten the big list from Stephan Binner that Pascal referred to, but as Benjamin Weber pointed out on IRC the other day, they might become outdated before being published if we do too many at once.
I think Pascal made a good point about alternating between community people and Novell people. I'd like to suggest that we take this "diversity management" even further, so as to make sure that we cover a diverse section of the following characteristics:
* Gender - male, female, maybe more.. * Age - young, old, middleaged, teenagers even perhaps * Types of contributions - hackers, packagers, artists, mirror admins, server admins, translators, documentors, marketers, etc. * Geography - I believe we have active contributors in just about all countries and continents. Especially the "emerging markets" such as Asia where we have Cyberorg among others is interesting.
By covering a broad range of people these interviews could not only serve to make us know each other better, but also as inspiration to potential contributors who might think: "I'm too old", "I'm too young", "I'm too busy", "I'm not a hacker, how would I ever be able to help"
Diversity might also make them more interesting to read ;-)
I support Coolo as top contender to be #1, if he's not too busy these days ;-) His "People behind KDE"-interview is getting really outdated... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
