In regard to Richards proposal, I think that this is not a major priority and should be addressed down the line. 

When presented the idea at the board meeting prior to the conference, I mentioned that to him and he agreed.

Incidentally the Robert/Richard presentation was originally intended to be two different talks - which may have been better, as one is an immediate "suggestion" from SUSE, the other is a take on the future of the community and it's projects in general. Presenting them together blurred the lines a bit.

Personally I am partial agreement with Richards ideas, but I think that the big topic here should be the "global rebranding" of the community's efforts, rather than working out what they will look like afterwards - which is a different topic IMHO.

Pursuant to Richard and Robert's talk at oSC 2024:

https://media.ccc.de/v/4411-we-re-all-grown-up-opensuse-is-not-suse

This is a topic that needs to be discussed as a community, especially as it's 
currently a request from SUSE.

I do want to be clear, this message is me posting as "Community Member 
SFalken" not "openSUSE Board Member SFalken"

Myself, I'm in favour of "rebranding" the community project, and making it 
clear that openSUSE != SUSE.  Far too much of the time in our support channels 
is spent clearing up these misconceptions, where new users (and even some 
experienced users), are saying things like "SUSE Should do $x" or "Why doesn't 
SUSE do $x?".

I'm less certain that I agree with Richards proposal of the individual 
projects sort of "go their own way", at least as he's laid it out, but again, 
this is absolutely a topic that deserves consideration.

Thoughts?
