If you are interested in openSUSE, you should really read our actual news sources then, such as:

This was a surprize to me. Shouldn't the prime source of actual opensuse news be the opensuse site rather than sites which I for one never visit?
Not wanting to join in with a fair bit of flamefesting, but I would have to agree with this.
Indeed, I rarely visit the opensuse site because it never seems to have any information I want. It seems that the most visible, most useful domain has been taken over by the "let's get suse installed on as many computers as possible, then abandon them in the wilderness" crowd.
I'm on google+, I refuse to use either twitter or facebook. But if that's where I'm supposed to find official news, how the ****** am I supposed to know, unless somebody tells me!
And the obvious place to look, www.opensuse.org, seems to have been taken over by marketdroids who have no clue how to communicate any *meaningful* information.
www.opensuse.org should be a thriving hub of useful information (even if it is only links pointing elsewhere), and not the non-interactive marketing billboard it looks like it is to me.

Well, although I *do* agree -- in a way -- with the comments, I am *not* prepared to be vocal about it, nor to complain, since I am busy with other things and am not at this moment offering to volunteer to do the work that the *VOLUNTEERS* are currently doing there.
Of course, since you are voicing this complaint, I would expect that you are about to Volunteer and do something to improve it?
Notice that this was about the main www.opensuse.org page, not the news page. I will not offer to contribute to a main web page, I'm not a web designer and I would do it very badly. I think I liked more the previous version of the page, that's all I can say, from the point of view of being useful to me. The current one is certainly more glamorous, but difficult to modify. There are some missing pieces of information but few people capable of doing it, I fear. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
