: openSUSE: Powered by Lizards, Designed for Humans
Good one - any thoughts? Improvements?
One thought that comes to my mind whenever openSUSE marketing is discussed, is the total detachment of marketing from the actual product >:-) ZMD (10.1+10.2), KDE 4.0 pushing (11.0), and non-working kbluetooth, cd- burning, compiz, amarok2 etc. (11.1), constantly changing updater applets (every release from 10.0->11.1) and other major risktaking and blunders in recent years are not what I consider "designed for humans". I'd really like for the openSUSE project to finally set some clear and realistic goals and decide what we will and will not do - and then bring the marketing effort and the development/product priorities into alignment. If openSUSE is supposed to be a toy for geeks, let's be honest about it, and not think up slogans that have nothing to do with reality. And if openSUSE is actually supposed to be productive, working, easy to use and gaining marketshare beyond geeks, then development decisions/priorities should reflect those goals. A while ago a discussion about distribution focus was being prepared, which filled me with hope that something would be done which really mattered, but nothing has happened so far...
