[opensuse-project] Initiative of openSUSE LTS/openSLES Status Nov 1 2009
Hello, With the announcement http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2009-10/msg00013.html The really shows just how commited the openSUSE Management are with regrads to the community. I have to admit I was firmly in the openSLES camp prior to a few email discussions and the results of the above email. We now have the oportunity to now really be able to provide and openSUSE LTS with out a lot of obstucales. In the various talks we have had it appears the given the current economic climit, we could posssibly do more harm than good with an openSLES. Most of the members that have stepped up to be willing to do the security updates and back ports have come from the openSUSE community. There have been talks with the SLES managment and the ones that I thought would be behind such and effort right now see it as more of a problem; Natuarlly there are those that are the free-loaders, who do not steop up to the plate. Also I was in hopes of gaining support from Novell in the form of a free SLSE with updates so we do not in any way endanger current licenses. We need to take this all in mind with our decisison as to which initiative we choose. This is the current state. -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com> 801 849-0213 ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
