[Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

== Statement ==

We deliver a well-balanced platform that equally appeals to end users, 
power users, developers and server administrators. (Other fields we 
currently do?)

== Activities ==

=== Will do... ===

* Do as we always did
  * Good compromise between actuality and stability
  * Agreeable release cycle between 8 and 12 months
  * Support for the 3 most current releases

* Continue the naturally growth of openSUSE:Factory
  by incorporating contributors' submissions

* For end users
  * Deliver both KDE and GNOME desktops
    (with a focus on KDE. By laws of physics we are required to
    provide an antipole to the otherwise GNOME-ridden world ;-)

  * Covering a multitude of areas of interest
    (publishing:/latex, OOo, graphics:/gimp, inkscape, etc.)

* For developers
  * C, C++, Perl, Python, Java and the usual satellite libraries
    (boost, libwhatdoIknow, maven, ...)

* For power users and sysadmins
  * Agreeable command line experience (I can quantify that if desired..)
  * Xen VM
  * Networking Services (dns,http,etc etc etc)

=== Try to... ===

* Deliver a third, more minimalistic desktop environment

* Speed it up (doesn't everybody? :-)
 * minimal system (we're ok I'd say)
  * blubb.

* Do The Right Thing™ rather than just doing what the loudest voice 
says - i.e. critical analysis towards hyped items

=== Will... ===

* not solely focus on a narrow band topic only

* not necessarily do something just because Ubuntu does it



Readers: Whatever we do currently, add it.
