The launch of openSUSE
On the issue of build systems and governance- I believe the theme for opensuse in those regards is 'manage expectations', which is entirely reasonable and something Fedora failed spectacularly to do. The reality is that opening a build system up, and setting up a governance structure which respects the parent company's very heavy investment while still giving outside contributors a legitimate voice, are very hard tasks, both of which Fedora bungled badly. Kudos to opensuse for realizing these are really hard tasks and not setting unrealistic goals they can't meet.
