Making a release doesn't mean just generating an ISO image, it also mean preparing marketing (writing announcement, etc..), doing a lot of tests (including openQA but not only)
Marketing/testing is something where anybody can contribute.
work on the repositories, etc (I haven't done any release for openSUSE but I know how much under the work it means, and openSUSE team has done a great job in documenting work needed to do a release).
I know the technical part of doing the release, and I am willing to do that part.
Cheers,

Hi,
What will the community guys do during this "no Factory time"? For example, what does the KDE/GNOME/etc team will do? Work in the KDE/GNOME version which will not be included in openSUSE? (or at least will not reach much users - addon repos/tumbleweed). Take a 1 year vacation? Release the new versions as updates to 13.1?
Good questions. Let me rephrase it. How can we work on new things and, at the same time, keep the ship moving?
In order to introduce significant changes in factory we need: * Implement them one by one * Look carefully the impact of the introduced changes and refine quickly the possible problems.
We all need factory running.
But running is one thing, and have it prepared for a Release is another thing, in terms of resources, at least. Tomas (on vacation), Coolo and Ludwig can provide more technical details about this.
@Coolo, @Ludwig Will we be able to introduce in factory the desktops in a scenario in which our main focus will be development?
Hopefully we will have a "release" in 6/8 months: the new development version... with KDE and GNOME on it.
The openSUSE Maintenance Team can provide more details about the possibilities we have in the maintenance area with the current resources.
@Marcus, can you provide us light here?
Well, we do push bugfixes and version updates via maintenance already, but the latter only in a small scope. We cannot easily ship new libraries via maintenance, or larger scope restructurings.
