To give us something to plan around, we would like to propose a fixed release

feasible to maintain high-quality standards, we are proposing a fixed eight-
month schedule.

You could consider an eight-month cycle with a bit of leeway. Like delaying one month if that means catching a nice enough release of something upstream. Or if the holidays get in the way, as you just did for 11.2.

November 2009: "Fichte" 11.2

Not September. Good! Thanks.

July 2010: "Rousseau" 11.3
March 2011: "Voltaire" 12.0
November 2011: "Lessing" 12.1

I'm curious about the version names. Neither against or pro, just curious: why "names" at all, why these names in particular... :-)

Surely someone wrote/bloged about this, I hope.


Public releases would happen on the Thursday before the 15th of the month, and
the gold master (GM) would be finalized one week prior to that. We are
planning a strict four-week release candidate (RC) phase.

Strict... :-? IMO, bugs, sometimes important, are only found during the RC phase. It's a fact. Some people only test at that point. A little flexibility might be handy to polish those bugs. 11.1 got a lot of them: some were solved just very recently.


The features we have in mind for 11.2 center around these top features:
...
* Ext4 - possibly even as the default filesystem.

Wow.

* Provide YaST Web interface for easier remote adminstration.

Nice! :-)

* Netbook support

Please, consider adding a setting in YaST for machines on battery with all kind of optimizations: cpu freq, cron stop, disk sync delay, package selection, cpu intensive eye candy, etc, etc.
