There are basically four options. From the new wiki I set up on
http://www.zenez.com/mediawiki/openSLE-openSUSE_LTS-wiki/index.php5/Overview...
They are as follows.
1. openSUSE [4] Server CD
Server Edition, somewhat alike the GNOME and KDE media https://features.opensuse.org/305664.
2. openSUSE [5] LTS longer term security and support, community driven complete release.
3. openSUSE [6] LTS subset (a reduced core of openSUSE[7])
with mainly Server SW.
4. openSLES a CentOS equivalent for SLES[8] based on SUSE Linux Enterprise[9].
I see only 1, 3, 4 as really possible given the current people that have said they are willing to work on the options.
From personal emails to me on options 3 and 4. It currently stands as 23/23. Option 3 could be done on the OBS in league with factory. Option 1 needed a community maintainer/s. As per openFATE.

I hope this clears up what I see as the options currently available.
I think the options are clear. What isn't clear, at least to me, is the target audience of such a release. The target audience has an influence on what might work best in terms of those options. I guess for people interested in stable servers at home, option 3 sounds good. But how large is this group really? Many home users would also like to have their KDE or GNOME maintained and problems fixed etc - this wouldn't come along with a reduced LTS version. For small-, medium-, or large-size business, option 4 would make much more sense than option 3 as a lot of software is certified for RHEL/SLES only and binary compatibility would be a clear advantage. I personally would vote for option 4 but I am clearly business-driven, no doubt ;) Cheers, Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
