Basically, yes. It not completely nothing. We are going to work on projects we outlined in separate mails, like staging projects, openQA and integrating all of it into Factory workflow, basically trying to make Factory more stable which should benefit the release and ultimately reduce the work needed for the actual release, but yes, we are not going to put any direct effort into release till August when we will see what next.
I realise this is probably going to sound sarcastic and that is not intended, but does this mean your team are going to get a rename?
We had the "Boosters" when the team existed to boost and bootstrap the Project, calling you "The openSUSE Team" (sometimes with the added suffix @SUSE) made sense when your team was focused on making sure the project got openSUSE releases out of the door, but if that's taking a backseat for 6 months, what name makes sense?
The "openSUSE Team except when we're working on OBS or openQA" doesn't really have a good ring to it and isn't descriptive.
Improving the tools used to develop and test openSUSE (both Factory and the releases) is also working in openSUSE. We have decided that the impact in the project will be much more valuable if we focus next months in long term goals (making easier the life of release managers, reviewers, maintainers and testers) instead of focusing in short terms goals (pushing another release out of the door with the current tools). So we are still working full time with the goal of improving openSUSE. The name still fits, since it never was "Release Team".
