== Goals ==
The goal of openSUSE as a project is to provide a platform for distributing Linux and software running on Linux to a wide range of users. This platform consists of tools for creating software distributions, the openSUSE distribution as base and reference implementation, and the community supporting the tools and the distribution.
I must protest this proposal in the strongest terms :-)
Being a good platform for appliances/derivatives is fine and all, but it cannot be the officially stated primary purpose/goal of the project. [...] If a person asks me "what is openSUSE about? Why should I use it?" And I'd have to respond: "Oh, openSUSE is mainly about being a good base/reference for derivatives/appliances", well.. I'd hate to see the expression on his face.
I concur. That would feel a bit like Windows -- no office, no compiler, just the pure base. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
