Hey all!
As SUSE is gearing up for SLE 12, SUSE is doing more in openSUSE. Features like systemd and grub2 are examples and more will follow.
I thought it worked the other way around:

You seem to misunderstand this, let me blog about this another time in more detail.
I've done this now on my personal blog: http://jaegerandi.blogspot.de/2012/05/opensuse-upstream-of-suse-linux.html
openSUSE is the upstream of SLES, so SLES work will be done in openSUSE. But openSUSE does not need to accept any of these changes, as upstream - and not as integral part - we in openSUSE can reject those...

I'm liking that we're referring to openSUSE as upstream from SLEx rather than "basis of SLEx" as we have done in the past. The difference in message and intent between the single word "upstream" vs. "basis" is significant and upstream shows that openSUSE is truly meant to be a community project. The growing pervasiveness of referring to "upstream" is alone a big step forward for us.
I doubt that this has much practical significance due to the personnel overlap. The overwhelming majority of development work on the core distribution is already done by community members employed by SUSE, so this whole upstream - downstream distinction is more of a theoretical nature.
