Though I know in reality it's 99% Novell employees, I don't think it should imply that others -- non-Novell employees -- won't/can't be part of this maintainence and release process for the openSUSE distribution.
While I agree that this should be the goal, I personally think that we get more users when we can guarantee that there will be maintainence backed by paid people for a certain time. Even when we manage that novell employees maybe only maintain a minority of packages, it might be a trust point for some user to hear that novell stands behind the distro and give some kind of guarantees. what do you think ? bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG N�rnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
