I am trying to do my part to get a discussion going about communication.
I understand that it never will be as people will want it. That does not mean that it does not need improvement or that we should sit still and do nothing.
Not sitting still, but not neglecting the practice.
I accknowledge the practice and I think it should improve. The practice I see is that it needs a lot of improvement. If the practice was great, then no 'real' improvement would be needed. So we agree on not sitting still. Now what can we do while not sitting still? Some first steps. What are the ways and policies on how things are communicated to openSUSE, to the press and to the genral public? Is there an `official openSUSE` representation outside of openSUSE.org and its mailinglists, or is it just happenig here? Do we need openSUSE-representation outside of openSUSE.org and co? houghi -- This openSUSE mailinglist is about the community. All discussion about the community is welcome.
