Feature changed by: Alexandre Rogoski (aledr) Feature #306982, revision 4 Title: Create an open SLES Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Description: It would be great to have something like centos but that is based off of SLES. This would give people the abililty to use openSLES (for example) and move over to SLES if needed. I believe it would help to grow our user base in the enterprise as well by allowing small companies to start and grow and later move to a supported model. I don't think we would loss customers as these are the people that probably wouldn't be buying licenses in the first place. As they grow this could completely change and they would be well positioned to buy support from Novell. Discussion: #1: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) (2009-07-29 19:29:57) I think there are tons of good reasons for this. Please add them as you can. + #2: Alexandre Rogoski (aledr) (2009-07-29 20:23:22) + We offer server services to a lot of our customers and we use openSUSE + for their server since years ago. They like to know that openSUSE is + enhanced by Novell, it gives credibility to openSUSE. And as soon as + their business grow they can turn on Novell customers too. + I guess this is a commom scenario around the world. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306982
