"Of all the community distributions, probably the least known is openSUSE. After two and a half years, the distro is not only still working out details about how its community operates - including how its governing board is elected - but also struggling to come out of the shadow of its corporate parent Novell, much as Fedora has emerged from its initial dominance by Red Hat. With the pending release of openSUSE 11.0, community manager Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier suggests that the distribution is finally starting to get the recognition it deserves. In the middle of preparations for the new release, Brockmeier took the time to talk with Linux.com about the priorities within the community and its relation with the larger world of free software."

Trying to paint everyone who disagrees with the Novel/Microsoft deal as a non-contributing mal-content blogger is either disingenuous and self-serving, or horribly uninformed. This type of ad hominem attack is really beneath a large-project leader; he'd have done better to not broach the subject at all.
Other than that, it sounds like the project is doing all the things necessary to become more prominent and on par with the other community distros.
