I see a LOT of similarities with the Derivatives strategy.
Me too :-)
And I believe that any strategy will fail unless it has at its core to make openSUSE an attractive main OS in itself.
People will tend to choose their own preferred distro for their derivatives and their contributions. So the strategy should be to make people use openSUSE as their preferred OS - then the other things would follow "automatically".
Exactly. And openSUSE currently already provides an infrastructure with the Build Service and Studio which makes it very easy to create derivatives. So why adopt a strategy which focuses on one single aspect (which is already a strength) at the expense of others (in this case a focus end-users)?

Hi, I'm going to get away from this mailing list very soon. Too much pollution for nothing. If you are so worried what people want ask them! Shut down everything and put up vote what do you want. They'll tell you what they miss very loudy. If mission not become number one GNU/Linux distro on earth i'm starting to use Ubuntu or Fedora on our servers and development enviroment. Don't mind developers they come when we have enough users. Money will follow. Problem is why people use other distro than openSUSE not why openSUSE exists. openSUSE is not for developers like open source and free software ain't for developers. They are for users (that is what everyone tends to forget). I JUST ASK How much more documentation have other distros? MSDN in documention way got it very right. That should be the goal of documentation. what you don't find there it doesn't exists. Tuukka ps.
