The poll on SurveyMonkey on how to version the openSUSE distribution release is now closed, you can see the results here. The winner is the "old school" (like currently but only counting the right number until 3), followed by "Fedora style" (just integers) and "Ubuntu style" (2 digits year "." 2 digits month).

The openSUSE members only poll is now live on connect until April 04, 2011. Please select your favorite option

Andreas,

I was hoping the "old-school" vote last time would allow for a vote this time of when to rollover:

That wasn't planned and if you made the suggestion, I seem to have overlooked it, sorry.

a) 12.0, 12.1, 13.0, 13.1, etc. b) 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.2, 14.0 etc. c) 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 13.0, 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 14.0 etc. c) 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, 13.0, 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4, 14.0 etc.

Ignoring Evergreen, my vote is a) because 12.0 would go out of support shortly after 13.0 would come out. So for a server etc. it might make sense to only use the .0 releases.

If Evergreen is "real" and takes support from 18 months to 36 months, then I would like to reset after .3 for the same reason. ie. all .0 releases could be designated a Evergreen release and everyone would know it.

My dear colleague Dr. MLS just came around with a similiar question. He wanted to suggest to not have a .0 release: Since we have three releases, it would then be clear the that November release is always the .1 release, the July release the .2 and the March release the .3. If there are more people that think the current definition is too strict, we could do a third election if and only if the "old school" is the winner.

If the voting comes around as "old school", I think we will do exactly that. So the next release will be 12.1 then. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Isn't the poll and the interpretation of the results flawed?

In your system the party that has more unpopular candidates wins as the votes accumulate on the few acceptable ones. You can't compare the results for both parties if you allow people to vote for both at the same time.

Everyone could vote for everything - the options were only grouped. The winners were picked purely by their numbers, not by the group they are in.
