[opensuse-project] Strategy d: Status Quo, and quantified so

This was not intended as a _documentation_ of the status quo. Although it does that as well, it primarily constitutes a _proposal for a strategy_ which aims to focus on and stick to existing strengths of the project while addressing some deficiencies. In fact it incorporates parts of the other proposals and should stand adjacent to them as an equal alternative.
We just have to separate "what we did" and "what we plan" into two wikistyle ==sections==. That said, if there is anything in there that is not expressly marked as "we plan to do this", then let's hear it.
good compromise between actuality and stability (the Debian--Fedora tradeoff)
I guess SUSE always had that.
agreeable release cycle 8-12 months
It was something like that. Now somebody mentioned it was a fixed 8 months, so uh well. That decision itself is young.
support for the 3 most current releases
Also a reply stated 2 releases - to make 18 months. Which isn't quite true. _Right now_, there's 11.0, 11.1 and 11.2 supported, and as I've just read on LWN, 11.0's has just been extended until 11.3 is here. And once that is out you again have three: 11.3, 11.2, 11.1.
We will do The Right Thing
Now, that is perhaps in part, novel. But it is expressly prefixed with "will", so is not something that was always done in the past (think: pulseaudio). And so on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

More than a year now - yeah, young.

2 releases plus two months going forward: * 11.2 + 18 months * 8 months after 11.3 * 8 months later 11.4 * 2 months later: the end of 11.2, we now had 11.2/11.3/11.4 maintained * next six months only 11.3/11.4 * and then 11.5 comes out So, both 2 and 3 is right at some point of time Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
