Hi, I am just curious who manage the Tumbleweed product? I know that it is do-ocracy, but I am not sure if it works well for product decisions like what to support, what will be default, etc. I would really like to see some steering committee that is entrusted to do such decision, as for installer it will be much easier to have counterpart to ask/discuss product decisions (e.g. also to help new users with pre-selected DE whatever will be ).
Unpopular opinion - but I'd say my team (SUSELabs/Early Adopters) 'owns' the final decisions on the openSUSE Tumbleweed and Leap products. Certainly we try to only act as 'supporting body' for things the community submits and are always happy not having to 'decide for or against' a feature. Whenever people do work to move something, we rather point out technical conflicts; like in the SELinux switch, the 'migration' to the new default will be the tricky/impossible part. There is a weekly "Release Engineering" meeting where aspects for Tumbleweed/Leap/MicroOS/Aeon are being discussed. https://calendar.opensuse.org/teams/release/events/opensuse-release-engineer... Meeting minutes are being published weekly to the mailing lists and are kept for reference on etherpad. Cheers, Dominique
