What about upstream? We can't do the "10K DVDs" for every upstream

How do we recognize them?
I've given up on those, it's far too difficult ;-(
Well, I think it´s okay... There infinite numbers of upstream projects
on the world (I mean also the projects that aren´t included in openSUSE
directly). And if not, a big "Thank you" from me.
How we did it in the past?
Before openSUSE was launched, the packager could add to each package an
upstream author and those would get a box of SUSE Linux. Some packagers did
a good job adding upstream authors and some just ignored it - so again, a
process that was not fair at all.
Thanks for information, Andreas ;)

It looks quite difficult and I think it´s more a traditional problem. I
read that in the past, when openSUSE was still SuSE Linux, the
beta-testers get a box as "thank you" when a new version was released.
When we change the modell a bit, we get the nowaday model.
For the target people: I think, that the members are the right group for
this, I mean, I´m throwing my hat up for these people, because they
working on openSUSE so hard, they really deserve a little present from
Novell/SUSE/whoever
But at the same point, I think, that everyone who is contribute to
openSUSE needs to get a "thank you".
=========================
*The solution*
Just members will get something and the other can be sure, that we
recognize them as the "silent helpers of openSUSE". Not the fairest way,
but I think (and hope) these silent workers willunderstanding it.
Other ways aren´t in my mind yet, sorry :(
thanks
