Pitty that you don't care. I personaly believe that looking as one and
that means writing the name of what you represent, is importand. To me
this falls under communications. (Others might call it Marketing or
Corporate Identity, wich to me *is* communication.)

It seems to be a running issue that communication is not that good with
SUSE/openSUSE. Technically you are the best. Communication is lacking
enormously. Using SuSE instead of SUSE is just a very small part of it.

Unfortunatly this communications problem is with us since the beginning of
openSUSE.org.

I have no idea who should be handeling communications to the outside
(openSUSE) world, but I think that function should be re-evaluated, if it
exists at all. It looks as if almost all communication is done afterwards
by a technical person as a best effort. Hreat of that person doing it. It
would just be better if many (not all) commications where done earlier or
were done at all.

Too many things have happend where afterwards it was said: Oh, and we did
such and such. Or information was confusing or only given after asking for
it.

Understand that I am not dissing the person who might be doing it right
now. I am saying that the function should be re-evealuated and changed.
This *could* mean: More time for communication. More feedback from
technical people. More backup from management. More pro-active
information. Or change to whatever is lacking at the moment so that
communications becomes something important and functional.

Due to the fact that most information will be coming from within SUSE and
Novell, it must be an emplyee. An other person will not be able to get
some information and also will not be able to demand information.
