* Jan Engelhardt <jengelh(a)medozas.de> [2010-06-30 17:11]:
== Statement ==
We deliver a well-balanced platform that equally appeals to end users,
power users, developers and server administrators. (Other fields we
currently do?)
== Activities ==
=== Will do... ===
* Do as we always did
* Good compromise between actuality and stability
* Agreeable release cycle between 8 and 12 months
* Support for the 3 most current releases
* Continue the naturally growth of openSUSE:Factory
by incorporating contributors' submissions
* provide a low entry-barrier for potential contributors (through
the OBS it is probably easier to make contributions than any
other Linux distro)
* For end users
* Deliver both KDE and GNOME desktops
(with a focus on KDE. By laws of physics we are required to
provide an antipole to the otherwise GNOME-ridden world ;-)
* Covering a multitude of areas of interest
(publishing:/latex, OOo, graphics:/gimp, inkscape, etc.)
* For developers
* C, C++, Perl, Python, Java and the usual satellite libraries
(boost, libwhatdoIknow, maven, ...)
* For power users and sysadmins
* Agreeable command line experience (I can quantify that if desired..)
* Xen VM
* Networking Services (dns,http,etc etc etc)
* easy creation of specialized derivatives and applicances
(through Studio)
=== Try to... ===
* Deliver a third, more minimalistic desktop environment
* Speed it up (doesn't everybody? :-)
* minimal system (we're ok I'd say)
* blubb.
We already do with the LXDE desktop which will make its debut
with the 11.3 release :)
* Do The Right Thing™ rather than just doing what the loudest voice
says - i.e. critical analysis towards hyped items
* Better marketing, in particular communicating our existing strengths
and unique features (i.e. competitive advantages)
=== Will... ===
* not solely focus on a narrow band topic only
* not necessarily do something just because Ubuntu does it
+10 for this proposal.
You should put in on the wiki.
