Heya all,
Last year our Product Highlights only talked about what we officially ship in the OSS repo and on the DVD. This year, I couldn't help but add a few really cool things we're doing outside of our normal repo's, including the cloud stacks (OpenStack, OpenNebula and Eucalyptus), ownCloud and Calligra.
Why do you suggest promoting them in the 12.1 Product Highlights? Surely we can make 2 or more good stories out of this instead of one bloated one that will make TL;DR* reflexes kick in? Is it really impossible to get people to publish and read openSUSE news items other than the distro release? IMO our OBS projects' output is a second amazing product of the openSUSE project. To conflate them into 12.1 does not give them the attention they deserve, and it prevents you from talking up the cross-distro packaging features the OBS provides. You should revise our communications approach instead of shoehorning everything into the highlights.
