Hi all,Drum roll please.First we would like to thank everyone who participated in the namingdiscussion [1][2] for the input and for entrusting the board to bringthe process to a conclusion. After due deliberations and consultingwith the release and maintenance teams we have decided the name andversion of the next release should beopenSUSE Leap 42.xWe felt that Leap, with reference to motion, i.e. how the distributionmoves forward, provides a nice contrast to Tumbleweed. It alsorepresents that we are taking a leap to get there.It does not cast is into a mold that would set the precedence ofopenSUSE which we think would have encouraged a regulardebate as new were considered for each product orrelease to go with the theme.Finally it leaves the door open for plenty of options should there beother efforts to create an openSUSE release based on Factory snapshotsat some point in the future.As far as the version number is concerned we concluded that 42 is agreat starting point due to the historical reference in the project.It's quirky and we felt it suits us well. We deliberated other optionssuch as starting at 1.x or some other arbitrary number such as 22 butwe preferred 42. Additionally 42 has already gotten some notoriety andthus we might as well stick with it. In the end we all know the numberis more or less arbitrary and the important point is that it increasesgoing forward ;).x is used to indicate the service pack of SLE from which the sources originate.We expect the first release to be 42.1 because we intend to have therelease aligned and sharing code with SLE 12 SP1.The major version will increase alongside the major version of theshared SLE sources, therefore a SLE 13 SP2 servicepack based releasewould be named openSUSE Leap 43.2Thanks again to everyone for helping out. Special thanks to RainerFiebig, a new contributor who after seeing a news article about'openSUSE 42' joined our mailinglist and proposed this new name forour new baby.The openSUSE Board[1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-06/msg00314.html [2] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2015-06/msg00340.html --To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxFor additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help@xxxxxxxxxxxx
