Therefore, my suggestion would be
openSUSE Leap
like in "leap forward", "quantum leap" or "...but ...giant leap for mankind" (or at least for a chameleon, that is ;)
Following (service-) releases might be named "openSUSE Leap 1.1", "Leap 2" etc. Each release a leap.
Hi,
I really like your suggestion. It's generic enough not to be seen as an inside joke (like many other suggestions) and still has something.
Greetings, Stephan
Hi All,
My main problem with Leap is while it means something now in this moment during this transition what will it really mean in 5 / 10 years time. In 2020 openSUSE leap wont convay what the distro is about which is presumably stability etc thats why oak probably still makes more sense,
especially with already having the tumbleweed name (I'm not implying it
should or shouldn't be called oak, just that i don't think leap makes sense long term). Maybe leap would have been ok as a internal codename instead of openSUSE 42, if we were going to rename it something else before release, but now everyone knows what 42 is so it might be to late.
Cheers
Simon
I disagree. 42 is based on SLE and SLE releases security releases routinely, then leaps forward every SP or full release. Leap is an appropriate name for the long term. Also, tumbleweed implies something that rolls along and hits every bump in the desert. Whereas leap implies (to me) jumps from one point of stability to the next. My marketing spin: openSUSE Tumbleweed - join us as we keep rolling forward, but be prepared to hit a few bumps in the road openSUSE Leap - take advantage of the SLE teams effort to scan the future for points of stability, then leap forward from one stable point to the next. Due to the nature of the process you can expect a new leap to be released every 12-24 months. Even then, if stability is important to you, you can stay near the back of the crowd and watch what happens as those in the front take the leap to the newest release.
