Right. 
It can be added under Distribution Release Policy, but I have no time to take 
ownership of topic. I took already enough to be busy until next year.  
http://en.opensuse.org/Community_Week

Since respin is cheaper then it once was, the policy of 1 media - iso per 
release cycle and category (DVD,Live CDs) should be reconsidered. 

It is cheap generator of attention with addon benefits of improved perception 
about distribution quality, lower pressure on support after initial 4 months, 
mail lists, forums and bugzilla. 

The geeks get their with main release, the rest after 4 months.
