Shit happens :-) So this means that your team at SUSE is not going to do anything for the openSUSE release at least until August and then you decide if you "come back" or not? Is that correct?
Basically, yes. It not completely nothing. We are going to work on projects we outlined in separate mails, like staging projects, openQA and integrating all of it into Factory workflow, basically trying to make Factory more stable which should benefit the release and ultimately reduce the work needed for the actual release, but yes, we are not going to put any direct effort into release till August when we will see what next.
I realise this is probably going to sound sarcastic and that is not intended, but does this mean your team are going to get a rename?
We had the "Boosters" when the team existed to boost and bootstrap the Project, calling you "The openSUSE Team" (sometimes with the added suffix @SUSE) made sense when your team was focused on making sure the project got openSUSE releases out of the door, but if that's taking a backseat for 6 months, what name makes sense?
The "openSUSE Team except when we're working on OBS or openQA" doesn't really have a good ring to it and isn't descriptive.
Well, with Boosters we were boosting mainly by lowering barriers and making sure there no obstacles in contributors way. Now openSUSE Team is going to work on openSUSE Factory (Factory is openSUSE as well) trying to improve it by making sure we have a better more automatized tools to manage it. But personally I agree that openSUSE Team @ SUSE is not a good team name regardless of what we do (well, if we worked on furniture, it would be even worse fitting name :-D ) -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
