Why don't we decide to make it rolling? How many rolling distros are there? How many easy to install and use?
Make it rolling, we'll save resources. Not only infrastructure but developers as well. Developers will maintain or create their packages for only one version and not for 11.4 (it ends on 15th, right?), 12.1, 12.2, Tumbleweed, Factory. It's easy to do using OBS but I guess it's mode hard disk space (please correct me if I'm wrong). Rolling distro will have factory and tumleweed. Also there won't be delays like 12.2.
For marketing reasons, someone can create ISO file every now and then, print it and promote it to events.
Maybe this will give us an ID to our distro. Ubuntu has LTS. Fedora has new features first (eg Gnome). What do you think?
There are plenty of rolling release (russian roulette) distros already - and even two openSUSE flavours (Factory and Tumbleweed). So that wouldn't give openSUSE a unique identity. openSUSE already has a unique identity in being the only (gratis) distro combining power, professionalism and productivity. This identity just needs to be nurtured more. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
