Jim, you earlier said you work for Novell.

Now, are you interested in the opinions inside the Novell echo chamber
(every company has one about their products), or are you interested in
hearing about how the rest of the world views and uses your products.

Let me be absolutely clear about one thing: My role inside Novell has
nothing to do with the Linux product lines. I'm the manager of the
instructor programs.

...

My participation here is solely as an openSUSE *user*, not as a corporate
person with anything to do with the product. Most of the openSUSE team
here - if not all of them - don't know me from Adam. Nothing I say about
the product should be taken by *anybody* as any sort of official
statement. I'm just another participant in the community; an end user.


Thanks.
For participating and for clarifying. :-)

...

I trust that the openSUSE team is taking all of the input into account
and will make what they feel is the best decision. As users, we have two
options once those decisions are made - live with it, or move. But a
development team makes decisions based on *facts*, not *emotions* (or at
least IMO they should), so people need to stop being so emotional over
the appearance of KDE4 in the menu and just state the facts from their
point of view. Calling people names is not only unhelpful, it's
counterproductive.

Amen to that.


Don't forget surveys: Novell/Suse has done a few.
