Hello? Hello? What did we learn from the last SUSE Linux edition?
1.) Never change features in beta 3 2.) Work until everything is fixed despite stores waiting
1.) It can't happen again, we have planned 2 beta's..... Is this a real solution?
We have put freezes in place so that this will not happen. Alpha5 could be called Beta0 ;-)
I would rather see a list as followed:
Thu, Oct 26 openSUSE 10.2 Beta1 release (feature complete) Thu, Nov 9 openSUSE 10.2 Beta2 release Thu, Nov 16 openSUSE 10.2 Beta3 release << notice only 1 week Thu, Nov 30 openSUSE 10.2 RC1 release Thu, Dec 7 openSUSE 10.2 RC2 release << notice only one week Thu, Dec 21 openSUSE 10.2 GM release (or the 14th) Thu, Dec 28 openSUSE 10.2 public release (or the 21th)
2-3 more weeks dev-time and 1 extra beta and 1 extra RC. It will probably come to that after all so let's just plan it right away. I know we won't have
All releases before 10.1 were delivered on time.
zen-shit this time but we don't have to hurry. If there are no blockers/showstoppers anymore there are little things that can be fixed.
This kind of schedule would not work due to christmas for us. The only alternative would be a release in february and that one does not work for scheduling reasons in our team.
Vista will come out around begin 2007 and websites will compare both. Let's make sure we win the contest by having all those irritating little bugs smashed also (and certainly the big ones).
We don't have to hurry, we have to deliver quality.
That's what we're working already on, the Alphas help with those, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
