This is awesome news. On the technical front this may be the
biggest step forward for openSUSE since the opening of Factory,
Bugzilla, et al.
I still recall the days when I was sitting in a hotel room in
Bangkok preparing for an important presentation the following
morning while my notebook was updating to latest Factory. Since
then I've become a bit more cautious (and time constrained).
After this news, I may start picking up old habits again. ;-)
Kudos!

In that same spirit, on Friday I arrived in Strasbourg for GUADEC, and
the first thing I did on my laptop was upgrade from openSUSE 13.1 to
Factory
And it just works
I've spotted a few minor cosmetics issues, some of which we already
have fixes for in the pipeline, but as a stabling, usable, working,
rolling release, Factory's there, and should get better from this
point :)
My Home and Office workstations are next..
Thanks to everyone who've helped start this ball rolling, now lets
make it better

Hello Richard,
Can you please tell how to add the repositories?
Is it OK to follow this?

Great leaders don't tell you what to do...They show you how it's done.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts...absolutely.

No Richard but, I found it easiest to edit /etc/zypp/repos.d and alter the
urls to match openSUSE-Factory. I then did:
zypper ref;zypper dup
Warning, watch your locks if you use them.
Is it OK to follow this?
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_installation
I used this as a guide to find matching factory repos to what I used in
Tumbleweed.
I posted the steps in opensuse-factory mailing list on 25 July.

Hello Everyone,
i have a question about the new Factory and the stable release:
how does the stable release come out? I don't understand how and when
we decide that the Factory is enough stable to release while the
Factory itself keeps rolling. Do we have to follow a roadmap with the
classics features freeze and translations freeze?
Thanks in advance for clarifications,
Bye

As I understand it there will be a parallel development phase for the nice,
stable, frozen openSUSE releases in a separate branch/project/repo/whatever.
I don't think the details are fully decided yet at all. But I would expect the
openSUSE release will just be branched off Factory at a more or less random
time, maybe 8-10 weeks or so prior to the planned openSUSE release date.
If all goes according to plan Factory will already be in quite good shape at
that point, and hopefully the community will care about the frozen releases
and make a serious effort for polishing and stabilizing it during the parallel
phase. In the end we could get even better openSUSE releases than before.
