The strategy discussion started as a result of the Great Debate of 2009. Primarily, at least I observed, we saw two opposing views on what openSUSE was all about. One camp felt that openSUSE's strength would be better served if we gave more focus on one Desktop, and the other camp reminding us that all along, our strength has been that we had more than one tier 1 desktop.
And as we looked around, we found that we had no clear distinction published anywhere that actually defined what our strengths were and why we were here in the first place.
And having such definition does in fact help us in the long run to better manage and focus our efforts. The question that sitll remains is, what will that definition be, and we hope to see the outcome of that question settled in the near future.
very good, well said so we could ask: what are we now, and see if we can/have to move in some direction I just read in the french forum (so link unusefull) that ubuntu & fedora describe thenselve as the best linux distro for every users... but it's not what is usually stated here there are two separate things: * what we think we are * what we are seen to be by the users in this respect, ubuntu is seen as a gnome distro, fedora as a geek distro and so on (just examples). I think openSUSE is seen as a well polished (better than many others) linux distribution, all purpose, very good as Kde distro, pretty fine as Gnome distro, more than usable as server distro for non professional (pros prefere SLES, Debian or BSD) thanks to ncurse yast. It's also probably seen as the distribution with the greater number of included apps (may be after Debian): remember who spread a dvd? (and before, how many cd's?),and OBS enhance on that jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
