Yeah I must agree, especially as Simon mentioned that the strategy at
the time was aligned with the creation of the foundation but never
came out so it seems like a perfect time to bring it to light again.

Surprisingly, (or not) a lot of it is still relevant today, even tho on the other hand, a lot happened in the tech world.
How *and if* the community demography itself has changed? what challenges do we face today? and where are we heading next? I think this is a good time to look back again and analyze the outcome of the last decade and maybe how other distros did compared to openSUSE (specifically Fedora and Arch)
Looking at the last few years, what's your view? would be cool to hear some opinions of people who did the last round.
I like that a bunch of points in that strategy is not aligned with the community, goes to show how much both industry and openSUSE have changed, and haven't changed at the same time.
I do find "Seamless integration and compatibility with other operating systems and tools" a little bit interesting, considering YaST, OBS etc. as if we expect others to give, but not us :P
And then in "Understand the industry" page, Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian are recognized as competition, which defeats the "Seamless integration and compatibility with other operating systems and tools" point's purpose?
"openSUSE does not" section also seems a little bit outdated, there are a few points where we have extended the reach of the distribution where we "shouldn't have", it also doesn't align with "openSUSE is what you make it" ;)
In community statement, it took us quite a long time to get to "Establish the openSUSE Foundation" goal.
As for SWOT analysis, I like that QA is labeled as weakness, when it's our main marketing point nowadays. In general the page feels a little anti corporate for a distribution sponsored by corporations, and really outdated in general.
You know what, let's just rewrite everything, it's the perfect time before foundation stuff again...
