aybe SUSE will give the @suse.de domains to the project as "short adresses" and keep the @suse.com for the company only. Would be nice
Pardon me, but why would we want this? SUSE is a valued sponsor/partner of the openSUSE Project, but to use @suse.de for openSUSE Project-related stuff sends a misnomer to the public. openSUSE is a community-driven project and the community does not drive (although can influence) SUSE itself. We work *with* SUSE, but not *for* SUSE. Using @suse.de would imply that to the world that we are somehow employed by SUSE, and I haven't seen a paycheck from them yet. :-)
Right from the standpoint that suse.de belongs to SUSE. My intention was, that SUSE gives the domain to the project, Maybe for foundation?
If we want some kind of "short domain" there is opensu.se which would be more closely reflective of our community and just 2 characters longer than suse.de. But I also fail to see any need for that. Is "opensuse.org" really that tedious?
No, not really, I only thought about a shorter adress for those who want it. Anyway, it's getting very off-topic here, could we all agree to discuss it somewhere else, if needed? have a lot of fun... --kdl

Yes, it is the idea to use @suse.com for employees and have employees use @suse.com rather than country domains.
(Still it's going to take a while to have this fully in place, just check out this list.)
In any case, @suse.com and @suse.de are too close to not cause confusion, especially given historical usage, so I'm afraid this is not realistic. Plus .de is not quite as international as .org.
