Value Creation

What problems solves a distro? What value is created?

A distro is delivering a (more or less) easy way to install and update software (incl. the operating system).

In particular this is:

Selection of software.
Making the software work together.
Adding own programs.
Improve (adding patches to) other programs.
Providing support

What are the members of a distro doing to achieve that?

They are

compiling code
testing code
work on own code (implementing new features, bug fixing, ...)
work in upstream projects (implementing new features, bug fixing, ...)
packaging
support (Who: other openSUSE developers, downstream delevopers, users; Where: Forum, IRC, mailing lists, ...)

How many resources is openSUSE investing in what activity?
