After considering the pros and cons of all the options however, the decision has been that Leap 15 will be our next version.
Rapidly losing faith in that board. Did they not chose "Leap" for signifying the leap forwards? Reinterpreting that as leaping backwards... yeah I can already see the news headlines.
Can't we just kick the board? Or continue with something > 42 as it was
I'm not going to comment the decision itself, but what is Your idea of decision making process? We had elections recently. One should check and ask the candidates how they are going to lead the project, communicate their work and decisions and insist on their promises, democratic principles and openness. They received the trust and responsibility, so that they can take the decision. Legally. Hopefully we selected right people there. It doesn't help to loudly ask to kick them. There is the democratic possibility (linked recently) to do so. Noise on ML doesn't anyhow say how many people really wish so. Some are silent, some are not no the ML. Regarding broad voting, openSUSE is sponsored mainly by SUSE and its employees do most of the job. Who should make the decisions? Who pays? Do the job? Contribute a little? Use the software? Is publicly active? openSUSE is not fully community distro, it is highly depending on SLE and should share as much as possible with it. Which questions would You provide for a referendum? Numbering scheme? Length of support? How often new version is released? Default DE? Default browser? Wallpaper? What else? Something I don't care. Something I'm unable to decide as I'm not skilled in the field. For something I'm going to fight. :-) I don't say the topics should not be debated (Of course they should!), but the method can differ. The methods can differ, something is technical question or worth for experts. And finally someone must realize the decision and have the responsibility. Not easy. -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/
