Hi,
The current efforts are less than 0.1 persons (FTE) to coordinate openSUSE maintenance. We get a limited amount of submits on the OBS side, almost everything comes from the SLE side.
Note that we have setup only maintenance for openSUSE Leap, but not Leap Micro as Leap Micro is pretty much only a SLE export.
We can keep it at that level at least for ALP.
So from the security side (and so largely the maintenance side), we can can likely cover a similar set of products we current supply
2 products are okay, 3 might be okay, but more will get more an more confusing and more work.
And we should be able to reuse as much work as possible between those.
From my point the Leap project should really focus on a limited set of products that our users prefer.
Ciao, Marcus
Thank you Marcus, this is really very helpful, just the sort of info we need and will help us scope what we can realistically do going forward As openSUSE ALP Micro and openSUSE ALP Bedrock are just like Leap Micro (pretty much exports), is your 2-3 products limit in ADDITION to those two export products? Or are you basically saying "we have resources for a single new openSUSE ALP community built product"?
