Mighty goodlord, this is too much salestalk/marketspeak.
:) Sorry, that's the nature of such announcements - I promise to be more human when I talk about it on Friday
The significant portion of SLE code is from openSUSE and/or other open projects anyway, so that may not be all that exciting.
While that's partially true, I want to highlight that this includes maintenance updates. That's certainly something new, and I think exciting. More details on Friday (and to follow in the discussions and such after I'm sure)
An openSUSE community distribution built upon this base can plan for a sustainable stream of packages, as we intend to continue releasing and updating this platform in line with the cadence of SUSE Linux Enterprise and it's [sic] service packs.
Reads to me like "The openSUSE distribution converges with SLE and the two become the new SUSE Linux (open, this time)".
Would not even be bad.
I wouldn't put it that way, but I think you're on the right track. My talk will hopefully put some more 'meat on the bones' of such ideas so we can discuss the best way forward. PS. Please try and keep the discussions centred to opensuse-project for now, I don't want to have to monitor all of our lists for everyone's feedback, especially while I'm travelling to oSC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
