Hi Per, check the differences between: The Linux you work with, for a living and The Linux you work with for a living commas are relevant. For some, openSUSE might be just the Linux you work with. For others, it might be the Linux you work with for a living. Susanne was the person who came up with this sentence that summarizes the proposal. I liked it right away. If any of you have a better suggestion after reading the proposal please share it. On Wednesday 27 November 2013 19:36:58 Per Jessen wrote:

Overhauled openSUSE Release ===========================
Once we have established the basis, we think we can concentrate in our current user base. That is, end users and non-OS developers that needs a solid base.
We see the openSUSE Release focused on two main targets: * A desktop and a server oriented release that target end users that work everyday with their computers.
That would be me and my company, I would welcome this very much.
In summary, we propose to focus in the direction where we already shine:
The Linux you work with, for a living.
I like the concept, and have been working with openSUSE Linux for a living since 2004. With a good dose of frustration every and now and then. When you work with something for a living, it has to remain fairly stable, you can't be introducing your employees to a new steep learning curve every other day.
Share your thoughts ===================
There are some questions we would like you to answer:
1) Do you agree with the proposed goals?
They're perhaps a bit hazy yet, but it sounds good so far.
2) Are there any other aspects relevant in this discussion? Can you summarize them?
Wrt "A desktop and a server oriented release that target end users that work everyday with their computers.", it would be good to define the "end users" in this context more precisely. For instance, where should/would openSUSE place itself when compared to SLED/SLES?
4) How do you think we should proceed in order to go from these ideas to real actions?
Start by identifying which areas need attention. For instance, for a professional Linux user or admin, which problems do we create today? In which areas do we lack attention to better suit a professional environment? Basically take a good look at the perceived/intended end user, and see where we clash or could have a better fit.
