Exactly, talk talk, procedures, plans etc - and nothing gets done. Let's focus on doing. We should indeed contact the teams, anyone up for a few mails and a follow-up? Go to http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Teams and pick one or more teams, then try to contact them. I know, not everything is there - at least I have no idea where the Xorg ppl hang out. Any suggestions there are welcome. Psankar has experience with this so feel free to ask him and others who've been around for a long time (eg henne) for contact details. Feel free to use either IRC, mail or both. Psankar just said the GNOME team is covered by him, Nelson, you up for talking to Bille about KDE 4.6?
