Maybe this extract from the OpenSUSE.org frontpage will clarify things:
"Here at openSUSE.org, you'll find a community of developers, end users, and other open source enthusiasts who all have the same goal in mind. We work together to create and distribute the world's most usable Linux. There are many ways you can participate in the openSUSE project."
What we try do here is discuss things that have to do with creating and distributing SUSE Linux.
That all makes perfect sense and is consistent with Graham Anderson's answer.
The only real problem I have is in saying that such topics are about "the community." They're not. They're about the process of creating a release of Linux. There's no way you can equate the two that doesn't do horrible violence to the language.
Randall, could you just please stop being so aggressive... The community is NOT only about the SUSE Linux distribution. It's also about 3rd package repositories (like Packman or mine, or the many others), it's about promoting the community and the distribution, it's about being present at events, writing and maintaining documentation, bringing people together, writing software for and around the distribution, coordinating efforts, etc... This is not just a Linux distribution. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEg3Ulr3NMWliFcXcRAnBHAKCVxQh6up4tVTgyjwWeFXnMoRgDpgCffdOI DNmK6LO+QRaWB8ByVQ0YIgU= =LWVp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
