[...] openSUSE is, like all Free Software communities, a meritocracy. You EARN the right to speak up (influence) by proving yourself valuable. If you don't contribute, who the f*** are you that we should listen? We're not a company - where managers get appointed to a position because they had the right papers and contacts and get paid well - here, those who actually KNOW what they are talking about are in charge. When we need input from others (like users) we ask for it (eg see the openSUSE users survey).
I find your statement quite ironical. You haven't contributed to SuSE or openSUSE in the past (at least not directly), now you are being *paid* to work on Linux (openSUSE) the whole day, and you have been *appointed* the community manager. You get the picture?
I wrote a similar response last night - but didn't send it. I am now glad to see that I am not the only one who has the same idea of what Jos is on about.
