Okay, let us think of the future..... After the whole discussion about the 11.4 vs 12.0 topic in the end of the development cycle for the done release, I think it´s better to talk on it now and make clear which goals we want achieve with the successor of 11.4. I don´t want to call it 11.5 or 12.0, just the "successor" till the version number is clear.
For this, I have two ideas here:
Eight months after the 11.4 release, we´ve got November 2011. So, the release maybe can be called *12*, because 2011 is a linux celebration year (1991-2011, twenty years). If we use this tactic, we have to release it on the 17th September, because Linux 0.01 was released on the same date.
Or we say, 11.5 is the logical, evolutionaly and not revolutionary successor of 11.0, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4 so it called *11.5*
So far with the version game for marketing:
I think everybody jumped on your 11.5/12.0 discussion but you raised another question that got lost:
What´s the technology way we want do for the 11.4 successor?
So, are there any great ideas that people want to do? We have to go through openFATE soon and see also what people proposed. In general, we need both good ideas and volunteers driving the implementation and integration, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
