[opensuse-project] openSUSE Leap's Next Major Version Number

by Rainer Fiebig

Hi! I'm the one who thought up and suggested "Leap" for the project's then new regular release. Although I left the project shortly thereafter, I still feel some sympathy and take a look when openSuse is in the news. And "15" couldn't be missed. As far as I have understood this matter, the move was made to better reflect sync with SLE and to simplify packaging-macros (or whatever). But those are technicals, "inside-out-thinking" and not a good guideline for marketing-decisions. What counts is perception by your customers, the users. And the "leap" backwards in numbering will undoubtedly cause disbelief and confusion. Now that's a difficult situation. But there seems to be some time until release. And there may be a way out. What came to my mind was "Leap 42.15" Following releases would be Leap 42.151, 42.16 etc. Quite simple. But by merging Leap and 42 into one - perhaps even stronger- brand name "Leap 42", you'd *have* incrementing version-numbers, avoid confusion and still exhibit sync with SLE. The task of public backpedalling wouldn't be too difficult (though indispensable and nice to watch also ;)). Perhaps you can't simplify your packaging-macros and perhaps future "leaps" would seem rather small. But that would be the bullets you'd have to bite. Pales in comparison to the effects that a "leap" back would create. Well, that's it - HTH. Good luck!

[opensuse-project] oSC17 Schedule and Registration Booth

by ddemaio

Hi all, I just wanted to write you about the schedule and registration booth for the openSUSE Conference. There were some slight modifications made to the schedule and some talks were shifted by no more than a three hour from when they were originally schedule. This was for Friday and Saturday; Sunday's schedule was unaffected. If there was anyone interested in helping out with the registration booth at the conference, please email me. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
