Quoting Robert Martens
I think the discussion here is around the final name … the article is using openSUSE 42 as the codename for the project so that everyone can have something to use to discuss the work. Sincerely, Bob Martens

I really like your suggestion. It's generic enough not to be seen as an inside joke (like many other suggestions) and still has something.
/me likes too. However, me as an ordinary non native speaker did not have a meaning of the word "leap" at hand immediately.
So what is wrong with "step" instead? Doesn't that have a similar meaning, and is easier to understand?
"openSUSE Step 1.1"

No, I think Step is far too conservative compared to Leap..
To borrow from Neil Armstrong, we're not talking about "one small step for openSUSE", but "one giant leap for openSUSE"
Am I totally misinterpreting the article, or was this discussion pointless? "openSUSE 42 is scheduled to be released around SUSECon..."

Exactly. 42 is what's in OBS. I believe we should come out with a name that makes a strong statement. Let's not be modest about the name. We have excellent talent and commitment in openSUSE. Mixing that with the SUSE portion, which combines to form 42, merits a name that is bold. I see a name like "openSUSE Elite" making a statement. It's bold; I wouldn't really have a negative connotation in its use. Elite simply is better than the rest. etc. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
