I live 15 minutes from Microsoft's main campus in Redmond (for the next 20 days, anyways, before I move to the other side of Puget Sound). The building I live in has Microsoft employees in it, and one of their main sales offices is walking distance.
I get looks when I wear my SUSE jacket - and not because Microsoft employees/fans hate Linux. Many seem to be thinking "I didn't know SUSE was still around" (and one person actually said that to me).
Microsoft is still around? :-)
Allegedly. ;)
Micro who?
Not all itches are development-related. That was my point. So if jdd wants to scratch the itch of managing some sort of non-profit organization that *can* help the openSUSE Project, he should be encouraged to scratch that itch and see what can be done within the construct of the project and how that can help without setting an expectation that donation = influence. And it seems that nobody is saying "we should let people buy their way into providing direction for the project" - quite the opposite, in fact. I think we should, as a project, let people scratch their respective itches and find ways to enable them to do so, rather than saying "no, not *that* itch". That's all I'm saying.
