Hi all,
I hope you all had some happy holidays with friends and family. As
unfortunate as what is describe in this thread is, it brings up some
valid points about communities socially and publicly interacting with
each other during trying times such like the situation surrounding
CentOS or any future situation that could arise. The topic appears to
has been discussed and is being addressed through various channels from
what I have seen so far.

Hi all,
The former mentioned about CentOS and suggesting Leaf lead to
constructive discussions, so these are OK and healthy as it leads to
insights on both sides.
But yes, a retweet with a negative tone can only lead to negativity. Any
official account should uphold social values and respect. Especially
online it shouldn't be about bashing or gaining at the cost of others.
We are working in the same community for the same gains; making OSS
successful. Calling out for dialog sure, but this isn't that.
Regards,
Gerard
Note: Although I work for Red Hat, these views are my own. I have
respect for SUSE and the openSUSE community. Especially as I assist them
here in Asia/China to develop and grow. Had many good conversations with
jzb before he moved.

And now, Red Hat is taking a "Leap" of faith with CentOS and
RHEL, and we're tearing them down for trying to be more open?
I'm not sure I completely agree with your description of the changes
around CentOS, but that's not the point here.
I personally oppose¹ those Tweets coming from the @openSUSE account and
suggest we (i.e., someone with access to the account, unlike me) take
them down. And refrain from going into that direction in the future.

¹ anti-support isn't an English verb, I guess?
