Stick with it as being optional and you should fair well in larger groups!
If you are not actually contributing anything valuable, the least you can do is not cajole developers who actually are. OpenSUSE is becoming an increasingly interesting and powerful distro, and while I am quite happy with Fedora for the moment, I value the work and dedication that is being put into the product. Work into any distro makes Linux as a whole better, and the least you can do is give the developers your support.

OpenSUSE is a GERMAN operating system - its from Germany, and as you mentioned, the bulk of the developers are from GERMANY!
Ubuntu is a South African operating system as well - They were started and are based in South Africa and most of their developers live there.
Fedora is, you guessed it, an American operating system - why, well, for one thing, they started here... Another, their parent company is Red Hat - Yeah, another AMERICAN company.

Thanks for mentioning us, but please try not to call us 'German'. openSUSE no more a German distribution as Ubuntu is South African or Fedora is typically American. Yes, probably almost half the SUSE engineers comes from Germany but they are not the only ones developing openSUSE and it's quite insulting to our (north and south) American, Asian etc contributors to call us all German.
And GNOME 3.2 is not 'optional', it's an officially supported desktop, together with XFCE, LXDE and KDE. We also ship 'optional' desktops, like other distro's do - enlightenment for example. But we're not like Fedora (only GNOME) or Ubuntu (only Unity) that we have just one desktop and the rest is 'optional' or 'community supported' or whatever they call it. These four desktops are all equal, the only difference is a default checkbox in the installer, nothing more. GNOME 3.2 is a major feature of openSUSE 12.1 and we're proud of that. It doesn't do justice to the work our community has put into it to call it 'optional' (see http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/20...th-GNOME-3.2.1 ).
Thanks,
Jos

If you don't like Germans so much, then maybe you should develop for a distro that is sponsered in your OWN country.
Hell, I'm and American, but I work for a multinational company that does business in all the other countries in the world... But you know what... I'm still an American.
Try to get out more and see the world around you - or at least the sun every so oftenLast edited by LinuxRocks; 25 October 2011, 06:52 PM.

Jos, I as a reader of phoronix has learned that the articles here are worded for a sensationalist purpose mainly and they shouldn't be taken too seriously.
I'm looking forward to test out the new opensuse release, you've done a great job in the past!

German? 'optionally'?
