The best places for Fedora and openSUSE to collaborate are in the
upstream communities where we can have the best effect on the free
software community.  That means rpm.org, smolts.org, GNOME,
freedesktop.org, KDE, and so on.  There's fertile ground there for
plenty of technical development, and I feel that's the place where
Fedora should be putting resources.
