OpenSUSE Starts Steering its Own Course

"The first step was to allow a community-elected board to take charge of the project. While Novell still has a large say, the company appoints the chairman and half of the board's members come from Novell, the community of openSUSE developers does get a larger say in the popular distribution's direction.

"From the non-Novell side of the community, Pascal Bleser and Bryen Yunashko are the newest members. While, from Novell, Henne Vogelsang and Federico Mena-Quintero have been elected to the board. Novell appointed Michael Löffler, the openSUSE Product Manager, as the new board's chairman."
