Let me propose you some questions: <snip>
3.- What is your perception, your picture?
My picture is that openSUSE needs a Long Term Service (more than the 3 years that we can afford with the EverGreen program). I'm talking about 5 years. If we can penetrate in the server market like Ubuntu LTS (sorry for the comparisons but are inevitables), openSUSE will be a very used and strong distro.
I am wondering why you think a "Ubuntu LTS" model will hit the sweet spot? Whatever that sweet spot maybe, as we have not defined that. I don't think that LTS has any advantages from a life cycle perspective. What Ubuntu LTS has going for it is that, it carries a lot of the mindshare, gathered through Mark's marketing machine, and it carries the option of buying support. Within this is a whole other discussion topic that can easily fill a thread onto it's own. Thus I am just going to let it rest here.
