Thanks.
do not ask to ask. Rather, just send your question (with reasonably appropriate subject line) to the list.
ok. Well, I just wanted to ask if the new release period could be increased (just a suggestion) from 8 months to something like a year, so that we (not from technical side) can all have a good grasp at the OS/distro, can know something about it before any new thing come into picture...
Well, I am not sure where you are going with this. However, whatever the release schedule is, there is always the same "problem" someone will always need more time for something. This would mean that there is never a release. That's of course not very helpful. In addition you can take as long as you want, just because a new release is available that doesn't mean you have to upgrade to it right away. The current release will still be active for quite a while.
However, it's just a question of 'if' this is a possibility or not...!
The release schedule will not change at this point in time, we just switched to the 8 month schedule not too long ago and so far this appears to be working for us. Also this is a question that would be better suited for the opensuse-project list.
