Hi Will, Regardless of the schedule we decide, we have to look at the process and clean up our act a little bit. With more and more people wanting rolling releases like distros... look at the success of tumbleweed I think a 6-8 months cycle is probably good... Though before that I think we need a proper process about the following things... * list of official devel projects for the distro... -at the moment one can get it when branches the package from the factory. -who is in "charge" of the repo. -improve the reaction time for the submit process... branch-> devel-> factory, -it happened to me that in some devel projects this time was more than one week, and sometimes a small infinity. Usually the last step devel->factory is very slow... *nominate a list of disjoint projects that enhance the distro (science, education, gnome current/stable, kde current/stable, kde:extra, gnome:extra). Some of them we already have we have to work only on the disjoint part. *refine the texlive instalation process... at the moment is slow like hell due to the branching in many small packages... *let us take branding and polishing seriously. *let us have weekly reports shouts on the ml about the progress of the main goals on the style Dominique did with gcc47 move. * at the moment two major moves seem to be envisaged a) keep only systemd for booting and b) python2 and python3 alternatives... * should we adopt kde-telepathy as main IM for kde instead of kopete? * should we relegate kde3 and old gnome spins to community repos and keep the oss tree only with the current versions of the two? regards, Alin Alin -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Alin Marin ELENA Advanced Molecular Simulation Research Laboratory School of Physics, University College Dublin ---- Ardionsamblú Móilíneach Saotharlann Taighde Scoil na Fisice, An Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://alin.elenaworld.net ______________________________________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
