Sorry but why re-name anything? What on earth is wrong with what we have currently - openSUSE $VERSION & openSUSE Tumbleweed?
The latter is well advertised as a rolling release so no number or anything is needed. The former uses the SLE Sources as a base and shows the similarity to its enterprise brother/cousin, we discussed at oSC15 using 42 as the name for the project in OBS and using it as the base for the release numbering. So as we were planning on releasing roughly at the same time as SLE12 SP1, then we would label it openSUSE 42.1; with the major number matching the SLE number denoting the tree from which it is spawned and the minor number lining up with the corresponding service pack.
I don't get the fascination with "fixing" something that isn't broken. Nobody cared for the code names for each release since forever, what makes this any different. Lengthening the name is pointless and causes issues with macros etc.

I agree with adding a name; we're changing the definition of how the distro will be created, and what its core purpose is. In the past we've always added names for that; Factory, Tumbleweed, Evergreen. IMO 13.2 is, unless someone steps up, the last 'openSUSE' release. openSUSE Tumbleweed & openSUSE ? move on in its stead.
As far as that ? ... I think its an obvious choice. We repurposed the Tumbleweed moniker for Factory rolling releases, as it was not possible for the Tumbleweed maintaineer to meet its original purpose, and it was 'dying' anyway. Now it has new life, in its original purpose, and is more popular than ever. So, I think the obvious choice, assuming the maintainers agree, is to repurpose Evergreen for the SLE-based releases.
openSUSE Evergreen 12.0 -> SLES 12 openSUSE Evergreen 12.1 -> SLES 12 SP1
I don't believe there are any actual version releases of Evergreen, just repos for older versions of openSUSE, so although the version number moves backwards relative to what Evergreen supported, the name is all new as far as distros go, and carries just the right message/purpose.

I really like this idea! Lets leave openSUSE X.Y releases at 13.2 for potential future use and use openSUSE Evergreen for this new distribution. +1 Angelos -- Angelos Tzotsos Remote Sensing Laboratory National Technical University of Athens http://users.ntua.gr/tzotsos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
