Hi,
When the roadmap was discussed, I said we would decide on the version number when we have a clearer picture about what would make up the new version.
So as Milestone5 is on the mirrors and I'm myself preparing for christmas holidays, I wonder: what's your oppinion on the version number? I myself prefer 11.4, but I have no strong objection against 12.0 if this is what the majority wants.
Please read the original thread from the beginning to the end before you see yourself repeating arguments: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2010-07/msg00244.html
Greetings, Stephan
Ok, from the thread: Pro's: - a few notable features (Bretzn, KDE 4.6, kernel, bluez, broadcom) - marketing wise a big version upgrade will make it easier to make noise - it would also help the impression (which is already growing) that openSUSE is definitely back on it's feet Con's: - No GNOME 3 - we've communicated up and until now the release would be 11.4 I don't have very strong opinions either way, especially because the second point of the con's - then again, we're still quite a bit away from the release. So as far as I'm concerned, let's keep discussing this. After all, we're a meritocracy and lack the benevolent/self appointed dictator to make this decision for us... If you want a top-down decision I can find a monkey to trow a dice and announce it as Coolo's decision ;-) Cheers, Jos
