Hey all,
As the openSUSE team works on our tools like openQA, we would like to keep you up to date on what we do, our progress and perhaps see if some of you who are interested in these tools can help out.
But working in the open sounds easier than it is. We organize our work in a public task tracker [1] and our code goes on github [2]. We also blog about it [3] and give talks [4] at oSC.
Still, we have tended to communicate too much over our internal IRC channel and mailing list, something we want to change in the future coding sprints.
The question I now have for all of you is: WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?
How could we reach you? Engage you? What would make you help out if you can? I would say it is like everything else, the sooner people can be involved and the smaller the chunks the better the participation will be.
When a complete plan is presented and the goals and development plan are already laid out and mostly determined it is very difficult for those that were not part of the conception of the plan to buy in, get involved, and contribute.

Valuable dollars, thanks. /J
