openSUSE should strive to be the productive distribution for powerusers on modern PCs (workstation, laptop, netbook, server) and having a healthy balance of innovation and stability.
While I like that from the sound of it, besides the "Dumbing things down for Aunt Tillie" part, how is it any different from what we currently try to do?
I'm the author of the proposal, so let me answer that. It is intentionally quite close to what I consider the status quo. Building on the current community and strengths of openSUSE as I see it, and trying to avoid alienating existing users and contributors too much, with a radically new strategy/goal/mission. But nevertheless it does change things. Currently openSUSE suffers from an identity crisis being considered n00b distro, expert distro and testbed/Fedora all at the same time. And not only outsiders have a hard time pinpointing what openSUSE is - our own contributors equally have these varying and conflcting ideas about what openSUSE is/should try to be. So basically what the strategy proposal tries to do is to take _one_ of openSUSE's current multiple identities - the one that is working the best for us - and make that one the future strategy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
