Hi!
This has been discussed somehow but without any conclusion. Current versioning scheme is confusing and does not make sense (now that we are not syncing releases with SLE). If we are willing to change this we should come up with some proposals and let the community decide. Ideas?
I came up with this one: name the next release openSUSE 12 (not 12.0) and continue normally (13, 14).
Yeah, that's probably the simplest solution. There are a few other options I was considering: + consider that 11.3 is 3, and continue with 4, 5, 6, etc. The main issue here is that's it somehow confusing for old-timers. + start from scratch with 1, but with a letter. Say we use G for Green, the next release could be G1, then G2. + we can also try to use a versioning scheme based on dates, but we'd be doing what Mandriva or Ubuntu are doing.
Also make the codenames (present in /etc/issue atm) more prominent and also market them (like openSUSE 12 Moss).
Ah, I was not aware we've started using the codenames. I like that. May I suggest we choose them in alphabetical order starting with the next one (from A to Z): it'll be useful to help know the order when comparing two names (especially if we'll market them -- which I agree we should). I vote for Asparagus for the next codename :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help@opensuse.org
