What about upstream? We can't do the "10K DVDs" for every upstream project... yet many of these projects are what makes openSUSE great. How do we recognize them? I've given up on those, it's far too difficult ;-( Well, I think it´s okay... There infinite numbers of upstream projects on the world (I mean also the projects that aren´t included in openSUSE

How we did it in the past? Before openSUSE was launched, the packager could add to each package an upstream author and those would get a box of SUSE Linux. Some packagers did a good job adding upstream authors and some just ignored it - so again, a process that was not fair at all. Thanks for information, Andreas ;) Andreas It looks quite difficult and I think it´s more a traditional problem. I read that in the past, when openSUSE was still SuSE Linux, the beta-testers get a box as "thank you" when a new version was released. When we change the modell a bit, we get the nowaday model.
For the target people: I think, that the members are the right group for this, I mean, I´m throwing my hat up for these people, because they working on openSUSE so hard, they really deserve a little present from Novell/SUSE/whoever But at the same point, I think, that everyone who is contribute to openSUSE needs to get a "thank you". ========================= *The solution* Just members will get something and the other can be sure, that we recognize them as the "silent helpers of openSUSE". Not the fairest way, but I think (and hope) these silent workers willunderstanding it. Other ways aren´t in my mind yet, sorry :( thanks -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker@hotmail.de) openSUSE Ambassador / openSUSE Wiki Team DE HAVE A LOT OF FUN! http://www.opensuse.org | http://www.suse.de Have you tried SUSE Studio?
