ender_33ahhhh I see where you're going with itJul 07 14:15
ender_33you think novell = opensuseJul 07 14:15
ender_33if it is based on what you say, Redhat owns FedoraJul 07 14:17
ender_33and I know thats not trueJul 07 14:17
ender_33two of the opensuse board members are novell (out of 5)Jul 07 14:18
ender_33can you prove they have more influence than the other 3, and carry more voting weightJul 07 14:18
ender_33I don't see itJul 07 14:19
ender_33just as Fedora does, they also carry elections for the boardJul 07 14:22
ender_33those two novell people were chosen by the communityJul 07 14:22
ender_33the decision would've been based on meritJul 07 14:22

schestowitzIt's partly PR trick as volunteers are rarely full-timersJul 07 14:32
schestowitzThose who really own SUSE are Andreas and othersJul 07 14:32
ender_33source?Jul 07 14:32
schestowitzThe core people are longtime staffJul 07 14:32
ender_33Most of the people working on opensuse are non-novellJul 07 14:33

ender_33he was chair 2007-2008Jul 07 14:35
ender_33its easier to sling mud vs researchJul 07 14:36
MinceRsaid the guy who calls everyone who disagrees with him a "communist" and an "agent"Jul 07 14:37
*MinceR turns off his irony meter, as it has been overloaded nowJul 07 14:37
ender_33it just seems that way because you ignore my evidenceJul 07 15:08
ender_33ignoring evidence is different than not providing anyJul 07 15:08
MinceRoh, you have evidence that everyone who disagrees with you on IRC is a "communist" and an "agent"?Jul 07 15:09
ender_33that's your own theoryJul 07 15:13
ender_33can you provide evidence that i've called everyone who disagrees with me a communist or agentJul 07 15:14
MinceRyes, i canJul 07 15:16
MinceRit's on the TR website, under public logs :>Jul 07 15:16
oiaohmI don't remember ender_33 Insulting me yet.Jul 07 15:18
MinceRdon't be too happy about that, it might not last :>Jul 07 15:18
oiaohmI have disgreed with ender_33 before.Jul 07 15:19
oiaohmSo its not 100 percent.Jul 07 15:19
MinceRcouldn't be much of a disagreement thenJul 07 15:19
oiaohmMinceR: run for 4 and a half hours.Jul 07 15:21
oiaohmMinceR: that is why I remember it.Jul 07 15:21
ender_33mincer - I haven't called _you_ a communist or agentJul 07 15:21
MinceRyou did call me at least an agentJul 07 15:21
oiaohmender_33: short memory on that one.  MinceR on an annoying day I can understant it.Jul 07 15:22
ender_33oiaohm - trueJul 07 15:24
ender_33“I can’t prove you are a Communist. But when I see a bird that quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, has feathers and webbed feet and associates with ducks—I’m certainly going to assumer that he IS a duck.” - Emil Mazey from the United Automobile WorkersJul 07 15:33
ender_33ironic the origins of the duck testJul 07 15:33
