openSUSE Sprint on Thursday, Sept. 5
by ddemaio 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

Hi all, We've been doing our sprints every first Thursday of the Month at 18:30 UTC. The community meetings conflict with that timeframe. I recommend we participate in the community meetings as some of the topics listed are similar to what we had been focusing on in our monthly meetings. Does that sound good? What do you all think? v/r Doug -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Regular Community Meeting Week 35 Date: 2021-08-31 10:35 From: Douglas DeMaio <ddemaio(a)suse.de> To: "opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org" <opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org> Hi all, I just wanted to send a reminder that we have two regular community meetings you can attend this week.

Well, that makes it even stronger of a message than I had initially wondered about. :-) Who can adjust the Lifecycle wiki accordingly? Thanks, Gerald

lifecycle wiki page

Hi all, There was a recent post on reddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/m1xl56/is_opensuse_leap_ready_to_be…) that made us take a look at how to present our lifecycle page (https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime) and info to be added to the marketing of Leap 15.3. There were several comments on reddit that can be summarized as there is a lack of clear information on how long the lifecycle of Leap 15.x will be going forward. When the info on https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime was originally written, there was some clarity on major versions lasting a minimum of 36 months. We know Leap 42 and 15 exceeded that lifecycle. It looks like we're at a point where we evolved and need to provide a bit more clarity for people based on the reddit comments I propose we change the lifecycle page to include the following sentences and include the info in the marketing of Leap 15.3 and beyond (for the foreseeable future): Leap *Major Release* (15.x) extends maintenance and support until a successor. At present, a successor has not been declared; Leap 15's lifecycle fully aligns with SUSE Linux Enterprise. There is a projection as of March 2021 that Leap 15 will extend to Leap 15.5. Both major versions of Leap 42 and 15 were supported more than 36 months. Any thoughts, changes, removals or additions to the above sentences. v/r Doug
