Wouldn't it be a good idea to keep openSUSE on the headlines by creating respins, official updated Live CD's (additionally KDE 4.2 CD's, so trendy nowadays). Otherwise short after a release it's quiet until we get a new milestone what took 4 months :)
Maybe.
The problem we face of offering updated CDs / etc., is whether they're
of the same quality as regular releases. (If you're tempted to make a
comment here about the quality of regular releases, let it pass.
Thanks.)
It's easy to do a respin, relatively speaking - but what about
testing? Feel free to ask Coolo and some of the other folks who do the
releases about this.
Also, going back to the question of what we're marketing -- is it only
releases that we can market? I think that gets us users, perhaps, but
not more contributors.
We've got the community week coming up, and the summit. Those are
things we could be pushing and talking about, which would also keep
openSUSE in the headlines and also (one hopes) bring in more
contributors.
Best,
Zonker
