It is unreasnoble to expect SUSE and the openSUSE Board to conduct the months of work required to potentially keep openSUSE operating under the same name while having a Foundation if the community is open to changing the name of the Project.
Do you believe changing the name is going to be less effort? I am not convinced of that.
Hence the need for this vote to identify the desires of the community at large, which is necessary to justify the work required in either case.
Is there sufficient information on the table for an informed decision? ("We don't have a plan how to do this, nor understanding what it implies, but let's leave the EU; life is going to be so much better then.") On Wed 2019-10-02, Stefan Seyfried wrote:
But then this has to be clearly stated when voting:

[ ] Yes [ ] No
Note that this is just a hint in which direction we will investigate and prepare. It is well possible, that changing the name will be too much work and will not happen, even if a majority of voters would want it. It is also possible that we have to change the name, even if nobody would want that. After the possibilities have been investigated, we might need to have another vote to make more informed decisions."
Something like that.
Agreed, that appears to be what the vote really is about. Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
