The problem is that many things that need to be done to actually get a release out the door, one of our goals one would presume, are completed by the openSUSE Team.
They are done by the SUSE Team not because they have to be done by the SUSE team but because they chose to do them :-) If they stop doing them, someone else can.
According to progress.o.o there are 285 tasks to do, there are exactly 2 (very minor ones) that require action from SUSE.
BTW that there is this much involvement from SUSE in the openSUSE release is a very recent development. Nothing that has to continue...
I agree, that's why we need to answer the other questions I asked. Put in a different light one can postulate the following: Given that the openSUSE Team has a reduced interest in picking up many of the things they have done in the past to get the release out the door, - do we have the people in other parts of the community interested, willing, and able to pick up the slack? - do we feel comfortable with the continuation on an 8 month release cycle? - how do we distribute the work in a somewhat organized fashion, as in this case the "it'll happen" approach may not be our best bet? I can probably come up with more questions, but I think these give the general direction and somewhat frame the space of the things we need to think about. I agree with you, in the end what the openSUSE Team chooses to do or chooses not to do is in principle no different than any other team. It just happens that the team has done a lot of the release work and now if this will no longer be done by the openSUSE Team we have to find other people to do it. I did not want to imply that this work has to be done by people that happen to get paid by SUSE, if I did please accept my apologies for painting the wrong picture.
