Ok, I will try another aproach: The openSUSE community is the group of people that are involved, directly or indirectly, in the openSUSE project.
I think that it is classic that you have in the space of one post, changed your definition of what the openSUSE community means. I think we are basically fighting with the consequences of naming the project different to the distribution, and then sending mixed messages. People are confused. The market is confused. Novell even refers to openSUSE as a distro. It is therefore totally understandable why OT posts happen this list, as the definition of what is On-topic is obviously not clear. Education is of limited value, because for every time we say openSUSE is the community and SUSE Linux is the distro, teh user will read a review of "openSUSE" or a press release from Novell such how the new driver proces will be available in openSUSE. Instead of fighting against all this, as said in other thread, I think the community specific discussions should be in a new list called opensuse-community@opensuse.org. This list can then be deleted. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin ps. while we are at it, we could also create opensuse-toppost@opensuse.org, and banish repeat offenders to it :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
