I don't believe anybody on this list could be this clueless, so I have to consider this to be a flamebait.
Why do we keep considering Novell anything else than just a community member with big commitment?
Because Novell went out its way to acquire SuSE for its own benefit and not for the sake of a "community" effort.
And then opened up a good part of it and keeps working on that.
I am not a programmer. I have no programming skills. All I can do is to report about hassles.
This is only true if by the last sentence you meant to say that you are not willing to do anything. The possibility to do other things is certainly there (bug triage, packaging, documentation,...). Say you want to help and I'm sure somebody will find something for you. But you just hide behind false claims about how you cannot do anything (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-09/msg00223.html for an example to others).
Now I keep my mouth shut
No, sadly you don't. For some unknown reason you repeatedly find the time to only complain and demean the work of others who create something. Seriously, the people making openSUSE worse are actually people like you. If you don't want to be part of the solution, at least don't be part of the problem. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
