sorry to cut off your very intersting post, but this part seems essential. let us wait to know what was said on this subject at FOSDEM by Sonja A matter of fact often denied here is that Novell folks are _not_ at the same place as are the other members of the community. * they have advantages: to know who is who and where are the true decision paths, to have the admin rights to create. They are the right hand of the Dictator :-) * they have disadvantages: if ever one of them make an error in his writing or posting, he may be fired :-( (hope this wont happen!), they must obey they boss... they are somewhere between the tree and the bark... * thay have also similar place, when working over week end and out of usual desk hours (thanks to them) So they have a place, a great place in the community, an essential place :-) but they can't say as any of us: is I don't like this I can leave... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
