No, I am not, you are.
Microsoft have been making war against the Linux community for years. Novell have elected to make a separate peace with Microsoft. This makes Novell no longer part of the community.
Who defines who is "part of the community" or not?
If you had an idea what all this stuff is about, you would know that people at SUSE are just in this very moment squashing the openSUSE 10.2 buglists in order to have a good openSUSE 10.2 release.
openSUSE 10.2, a product that most users don't even pay for. And the people at SUSE are doing this on a Saturday, where "normal" people don't do any work at all. And they will continue tomorrow, on a Sunday, too.
Did I forget that they stopped yesterday, Friday, after midnight, doing the same? And whom are they doing this for? For you. How many hours a day are you, the one who defines the community, contributing?
But you have nothing better to do than repeatedly posting the same FUD bullshit about MS and betrayals and the community. The community are people who *contribute* to the project and not just talk about it.
There are still people who prefer damaging the project by producing FUD, which is per se maybe understandable, but then please don't define who belongs to the community... And feel free to say goodbye if you don't want to belong to this community anymore. It's OK!
I just wanted to wrote so you know that someone (me, at the very least) appreciates a lot what SUSE is doing. And sometimes, judging by the mailing lists, the "community" may sound like an ungrateful, bitching & moaning mass. But keep in mind that loud noise can be made easily by only a few. There are a lot of people who understand what you've said. So your effort is not a waste. On Saturday 04 November 2006 19:41, Raúl Moratalla wrote:

I think that you are wrong. The Community are developers and users, not only developers.
Yes, certainly, but to be fair, the users who do nothing more than _just use_, without contributing anything have the least say in the matters. Contributing as an user has a lot of forms, begining with buying the box, coding, bugreports, helping other users. However, sometimes it feels that those who bitch & moan are not contributing much, but are freeloading and then trolling. But one can never be certain on the internet, it could only be a false impression. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
