Resigning my membership
To the openSUSE community, Almost 20 years ago, I subscribed to the project's German mailing list. Unfortunately, in recent years, I've witnessed numerous discussions here ending poorly. While each incident could be attributed to misunderstandings or assumptions, the repeated assumption of bad faith and the subsequent aggressive enforcement of the Code of Conduct, including personal attacks, harassment, or violent language, contradicts the guiding principle of "working together in an open, transparent and friendly manner". So I've decided to resign my membership today, fondly recalling all the positive moments shared within the community. I've already unsubscribed from all of the project's mailing lists, with the obvious exception of this one. Have a lot of fun... Jan

To the openSUSE community, again, After discussing with other members and giving it more thought, I've decided to not cancel my membership. I believe in the potential for positive change and hope we can all work together to improve our interactions and foster a more constructive environment. Have a lot of fun... Jan
