I am changing distros
Do so, nobody will even notice, there is no need to "announce" this publicly.
who are you to tell me I shouldn't?
A member of this list who is annoyed by the recent load of posts with basically equal content that does not help the openSUSE project any further, because nobody on this list has anything to do with this.
I beg to differ. Yes, the posters do not write code or report a bug or give a workaround for some bug (or otherwise give something concrete). BUT by telling that they don't like to way things are going (to the extend that they are willing to change from familiar distro to something else - not an easy task) they are contributing to the project. At least IMHO. They are giving feedback. I know that the opensource / linux developers did not like to get any feedback previously ("I'm just coding this to myself - if you don't like it or want a GUI then go ahead and write it yourself..."), but I thought that had changed. Many posters are saying "let's wait and see". I think this is wrong. I think that the OpenSUSE community should be in charge and not Novell. Therefore I think that the community should not wait and see, but be active in telling where they thing *their* distro should be going to. Now, it seems that it's only going where Novell wants it to go. -- HG. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
