I forgot that I was subscribed to this mailing list, because it had very little traffic lately. In the past I've answered some questions about MIDI here. I am a software developer, with almost all my pet projects and contributions related to MIDI [1]. This area is in a very bad shape in almost all Linux distros, and I doubt that anybody working in music production using MIDI would think that openSUSE (or any other Linux) would be an alternative. I'm not interested in packaging, but I'm still using openSUSE, so if you don't mind I would try to contribute to the discussion.
