Given that the openSUSE Team has a reduced interest in picking up many of the things they have done in the past to get the release out the door,
Has that (whatever it is) been "officially announced" ?
- do we have the people in other parts of the community interested, willing, and able to pick up the slack?
Without knowing what is in "the slack", it's anybody's guess, but I'd say yes. The proof is in the pudding.
- do we feel comfortable with the continuation on an 8 month release cycle?
Impossible to answer (atm).
- how do we distribute the work in a somewhat organized fashion, as in this case the "it'll happen" approach may not be our best bet?
Appoint responsibilities? Basically, if something needs to be distributed in a working fashion, we need _something_ to distribute it. The Board doesn't get it's hands dirty, so a steering committee?
I agree with you, in the end what the openSUSE Team chooses to do or chooses not to do is in principle no different than any other team. It just happens that the team has done a lot of the release work and now if this will no longer be done by the openSUSE Team we have to find other people to do it.
We have to start by understanding "the release work" first. Apart from that, I think we have plenty of capable people. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.3°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
