I mean interviews about the features, not about themselves, although it might be nice to also have a few words on that, especially when they are a little less known to the community as, say, Henne or Coolo or Adrian. e.g. when snapper came out, make a little interview about it with the main author, or make one with Frédéric about systemd, ... That can be done at the release but might be more useful as features are promoted to the feature list with each milestone, to keep the buzz on press sites (also easier to handle for those who do the interviews: one interview once in a while rather than a batch of a dozen when the release is made ;)). It requires some preparation though, IMHO, to ask useful questions that are on topic as most developers are not exactly ... um ... verbose. And a generic set of questions as for "the people of openSUSE" would be pointless IMHO. Well, it's just an idea. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf
