Hi,
SHARE YOUR OWN PICTURE
Let me propose you some questions:
1.- What other variables we should put in place to create an accurate picture of the current state of the project?
Maybe take a look at simple stats that our ambassadors can gather.
Do we have them or is something we need to create?
2.- What is the perception you think others have from the project?
I believe many would think that openSUSE is a mature project with a great community. A distro that has its own administration tools and has the backing from SUSE. I think people also don’t really know where the software is headed or where it can excel. While we are a Linux distribution, I believe in many instances we are not clearly differentiated from other distros. This is not necessarily a bad thing, rather we are on par with other projects as far as experience and strength.
You are claiming for differentiation, did I understand correctly?
3.- What is your perception, your picture?
I believe openSUSE is a wonderful project filled with passionate people. My picture however is one that obscures itself with the passage of time. I think we have a smaller community now than what we had when I first joined. While numbers don’t always mean less quality, I believe that at least, we need to capture potential contribution and harness innovation.
Are you referring to non technical contributors and contributions? Saludos -- Agustin Benito Bethencourt openSUSE Team Lead at SUSE abebe@suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
