open-slx is planning an SLE 12 clone with the completely retarded name Balsam Enterprise, although I don't know if they plan that with community participation.
According to the first announcement they are planning exactly the same business model as SLES but just a few bucks cheaper. "Kunden, die Support und Maintenance benötigen, sollen zudem entsprechende Leistungen bei open-slx ordern können."
Honestly: No, this is not my intention. Of course, we all want to do good business, and as I said this could be optional - I really want to see this community controlled (with some guys for admin-stuff, tracking, etc.) - not company controlled (similar to what openSUSE does). open-slx simply looks to me as it wants to copy SLES, rebrand it, and make money of it. It is a business model, but none I would like to support. And BTW: Roadmap says SLES12 is to be released in Q3-4/2013[1]. Really: I want to get something done earlier, since open-slx could only start their work probably somewhere in 2013 (when the first betas come up if they really do) ... ;) @Wolfgang: Thx. I really appreciate your help! - mike [1] http://www.slideshare.net/NOVL/suse-linux-enterprise-technology-roadmap -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
