Hi,
Can we do an 8 month release cycle if we do not have the resources the openSUSE Team @ SUSE has put forth to get 12.3 and 13.1 out the door?
Right now I think is doable if we make some internal changes and there is a solid workforce from the community side. It would need some assistance from our side. What I do not believe is that the current level of quality is reachable in one iteration or two. We would need to assume this. We are presenting the ideas. At some point (following days/weeks), we will need to talk about how to achieve them. I do believe that we can have a development rolling distribution without the openSUSE Team in the near future and a successful user oriented release having the current openSUSE Team/SUSE contributions focused in areas where we, as company, are heavily interested, allowing us to increase our overall contribution to the project.
What would that look like?
This is what the proposal is about. We have already a picture of the "new factory", which we have presented. We do not have it yet for the Release, since it will depend a lot on the results we get on the Development version and the discussions we are currently having. We would need some time to develop it at the level required to fit the puzzle pieces, in a way that a picture can be intuited.... so we can discuss it.[1] It is also unknown the process to be followed to create that picture.
