Hi Andreas
I agree with a lot of what you say, but you forget one thing when you talk
about that there is more developers.
There is not ONLY benefits with many developers. More opinions, more
arguing, more organizing and more bullshit to get the same amount of work
done.
Of course there is more benefits, but it takes time before we see the
changes.
I have not followed this discussion from the beginning so this is all i
wanted to say.
Oh yeah, and I would really like to see you come back to yoper again some
day Andreas.
Cheers Pettern

Fellow Yoper Lovers,
thanks for all of your hard work in the past and in the future.
Walter and others who know me have recognized that my style actually made
Yoper to what it is. My drive and energy made sure that
1.) The Distro did install even in alpha versions on standard systems
(laptops had issues on early versions). I used to test it on many
machines
and have others test it before releasing to the public.
2.) I made sure all posts where answered in the forum, since then users
would come back in masses.
3.) I made sure that I hype Yoper up whenever and wherever I could (even
now
I intro myself at N with Yoper, since it is my grandchild .... well
described, BTW) and help you also.
As far as doing Xgl myself, as long as I work for Novell I seriously
cannot
do anything actively apart from my Linux enthusiasm, IMHO, since I want
to
make sure that Yoper's IP is preserved as a community project. Tobias you
know that.
As far as calling it Flopper, this is my way to create a memory peg in
you
to remind you what we should not become. Distrowatch is our measure of
success. Top 10 or failure, even more so now that you all have many
developers .... I was alone, since someone had to start it, right. But I
also know how many hours I did spend on Yoper and those hours made Yoper
after all #1 on DW, so honour that, please too.
Even alone I managed to be on top of DW. So keep doing, what you are
doing
and maybe learn from what I did right too, since after all you are using
the
concept of a distro, that I invented and gave my internet nickname to.
The
very similar concept that Ubuntu took on after Yoper and has success
with.
As far as this thread is concerned, I am happy that you all have the same
visions as I do on what Yoper should be. I have no reason to pull any
name,
if my name and Linux's name is not negatively affected. A job in NZ is
always dependent on this factor and a Flopper would just not allow me to
do
my job right.
So find ways to keep climbing on DW. Increase the hours you work on
things.
Focus on detail and on attention to detail. Concentrate every waking
hour on
Your OS. Be open about things on this list. Passionately fight for Your
OS.
Live it, breathe it ... and you will be in the top 10 of DW. With that
comes
for all of you any job you want in the industry as you will market
yourself
as Yoper V3 people. And V3 is the rocket that will sink Vista. Have
ambition
and put it into action.
I am just a philosopher trying to win for Linux, so please .... be aware
of
that .....
Andreas
