I have a few questions. How are decisions made? By some democratic informal voting or agreement? Or is it ruled by Andreas or Adrian? :-) or whoever actually takes on a particular responsibility makes the final decision for that area?
Decisions are made based on the commercial needs of Novell. At least that's how I interpret the answers to earlier questions asked along the same lines.
I would like to know what the view of the team is towards the inclusion of one or more Community members (or representatives) on the Core Team. I would see that this would be more symbolic than anything else, but would show the commitment that SUSE has towards the community. I would see the person being involved in discussions, planning, and putting the view of the community across, unhindered by being an employee.
I certainly second this motion, but I suspect it belongs to the overall discussion of how open openSUSE is and/or is meant to be. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.ch/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
