Sergio: The business story of ALP Marble (SLE Micro 6.X) is more of embedded devices. While Marble would be more of the platform that you would deploy for example on Raspberry PI or another container host. lkocman: For me, it's getting very clear. The ALP Dolomite story is essentially the same story that we currently market for Leap Micro. I'm not aware of any existing embedded stories for Leap Micro where someone from the community would use it in this way. The only interest was from the Turris Omnia community (https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/61). So as far as community goes we market mostly single-node container hosts and similar. lkocman: One of the things that worries me is that we have Leap Micro 5.5 out and the support would be until the next-next release is out. I suppose Dolomite 1.0 will not be out before mid-next year which is quite long. Sergio: You could migrate from Leap Micro 5.5 to 6.0 and then to Dolomite something like 6.0.1 lkocman notes we'd have an issue with triple-digit versioning. lkocman: We need to be careful about marketing messages, as we've already confused users around Leap / ALP. A clear message is a must. lkocman: Perhaps migrating out from Leap Micro 5.5 to 6.X and then advertising that Leap Micro 6.X gains additional functionality from ALP Dolomite 1.0 would be an understandable message. Sergio questioned whether we could use Dolomite as a project name for the community version. lkocman mentioned that if we want to claim that Dolomite is a project that commercial distro is based on then, calling Leap Micro 6.X Dolomite would be wrong. We don't base the commercial solution on Leap Micro, but rather the other way around, as Leap Micro is a re-brand of commercial offerings (e.g. SLE Micro). The community project that the commercial solution would be based on is MicroOS.
