openSUSE - Mobile and cloud ready distribution ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm immediately sceptical for privacy and freedom reasons. Personally I have no interest. Probably a very large part of existing users and contributors won't have either.
4.) Activities:
4.a.) We need to be excellent in the following:
* Create connectivity server for private cloud data service
Who would create this stuff? Novell employees? I don't see a good chance of volunteers suddenly wanting to do that.
* Support client connectivity to cloud services hosted by others, e.g. Google * Support connectivity to our private cloud service * Establish easy client setup of connectivity and social services * Create Tools for remote administration via smart phones of Linux Desktop incl. WebYaST * Ensure remote administration tools are optimized for use with devices (e.g. YaSTroid) * Deliver integrated development tools for mobile platforms, e.g. Android, MeeGo and WebOS SDKs * Collaborate with Android / Meego / WebOS (not Apple as it is a closed system) * Lobby for open standards for mobile data access
Maybe areas such as battery life, mobile broadband support, netbook support etc. would also become even more important than it already is.
4.c.) As project, we will not focus on the following anymore:
* applications that don't integrate with the mobile world
As with the other strategies, I don't think it works this way. People need to be able to do more or less everything. Even if a guy does 95% of his computing in the cloud, there'll still be some app that's important to him, and he will not use openSUSE for all his cloud computing unless it's first and foremost a good general purpose OS. Also this strategy seems rather enterprise'ish and I'd guess the server part would need long life time to become really effective.
