What houghi is saying is that you don't put something out there and instantly get a community, a community is something that starts small-ish, and grows.
Dont forget this community was already here.
No, it was not. There was a SUSE community. This is an openSUSE community.
It was formed virtually in many forms by many SuSE users helping eachother and SuSE. The start of OpenSuSE did not create a new community but gives shape to this old virtual community.
I see it differently. Although much overlapping, to me it is a new comunity. Completely different goals as a comunity. It is as if you go from a helpdesk that answers only technical questions to a customer contact center that looks after everything. the openSUSE community includes the existing community. It is however so much larger and different that I personaly see it as a complete new community. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
