Hi all!
Today we continue with public discussions about strategy proposals submitted by you, our beloved community. The first one is the "Linux Distribution Platform Strategy": [...]
All in all a great proposal, I have some clarifying questions and comments.
* Broad hardware support of components and platforms
So, what is the stance on Sparc, HPPA, Arm - do we want all of these as core part of the project?
* Provide tools for package and distribution building and testing (e.g. openSUSE Build Service) * Provide common building blocks for distribution, e.g. installer, configuration tool, maintenance tools, development tools for web, native and other applications, and more * Provide home for overall community and specific openSUSE teams, e.g. bug tracker, wiki, mailing lists, collaboration tools
We currently do not provide a complete home, e.g. there's no source repository. I don't expect that the proposal wants to change this but like to make it clear that we cannot provide a "complete home".
* Create the official openSUSE distribution as reference implementation
The "as reference implementation" strikes me as a bit odd and I'd like to see this a bit better explained. Reference for what? Also, isn't the distribution more than just a reference? It's a usable distribution...
