Just read a bit b/w the lines and you will see what Jos was talking about from a bit different perspective ;)<br /><br />Hmm, might be this video is worth a separate post on the Planet?

It also lacks an example and focuses on technical decisions.<br /><br />The process I am trying to describe is more of the generic way of working - it works similar in -artwork. I probably should not have taken a technical example ;-)<br /><br />I think I'll try and make the Factory page include something along the above lines about generic decision making in our project, instead of creating a new one.Jos Poortvliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243886270488333877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-73500942805878207922011-10-28T13:09:49.774+02:002011-10-28T13:09:49.774+02:00I think the most important point to remember is th...I think the most important point to remember is that although some SUSE employees (such as myself) are active in the openSUSE project, we are in the role as openSUSE community members. We are expected to be self-sufficient specialists, able to manage ourselves and set our own goals. There are no strings controlling our actions in the project; our actions are determined by our own immersion in openSUSE culture and wider Free Software culture through our pasts as volunteers in FLOSS projects or our years working on SUSE Linux.<br /><br />This independence is hard to grasp from outside SUSE - it's always easy to see organisations as opaque, unified blobs that move mostly according to some plan. But our only brief is to make the openSUSE project succeed and enable everyone to contribute. As an employee it can be frustrating; compared to traditional proprietary software companies with top down decision making it can take a long time to build a consensus to achieve something. From an employer's perspective, it also seems counter-intuitive - management is letting the cats run wild in the belief that in the resulting tangle there will be something useful to construct products, and a vital and respected SUSE brand to sell them with.<br /><br />So maybe it's better to think of us less as employees but more like community members with a lot of experience and specialist skills who happen to be fully sponsored by SUSE - much like Aaron Seigo is sponsored by QtDF/Nokia to contribute to KDE, with 100% autonomy.Will Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07441626468992805412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-25357947921129719282011-10-28T10:18:41.889+02:002011-10-28T10:18:41.889+02:00google "opensuse factory" -> http://e...google "opensuse factory" -> http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Factory -> Learn how factory is developed -> http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_development_model<br /><br />Everything you say is documented :-)Hennehttp://blog.hennevogel.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-74880590057892446312011-10-28T04:00:08.681+02:002011-10-28T04:00:08.681+02:00Great post Jos.Great post Jos.Kyriakos Brastianoshttp://kyriakosbrastianos.mpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-32029610172342761752011-10-27T23:03:40.976+02:002011-10-27T23:03:40.976+02:00@greg be specific or don't say anything.

Frankly, even I don't know what you mean :D<br /><br />@sebas Yup, you're right, this ain't the prefect place. But I think it's only relevant for a few people and I mostly want to (work here to) document it and/or have a place to point people to.<br /><br />And yes, bikeshedding seems to be moving from -project to -factory because people simply have left -project and the bikeshedders (incl topic starter) notice that. Which means we have to be a bit more strict in moderation (a moderator has stepped into the tread which started this blog post, btw).Jos Poortvliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243886270488333877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-44197511413993455162011-10-27T21:29:42.885+02:002011-10-27T21:29:42.885+02:00Sure, a technical mailing list is the wrong place ...Sure, a technical mailing list is the wrong place for such a discussion.
