Yes it look´s good, but I think YaST and Zypper are "First" projects like
the distribution and the OBS and SUSE Studio. What´s a distribution without
an good packet management or a good config-tool?

First of all the title is a bit ironic.
Well I started thinking about it after what I read on a previous
marketing list post with subject "Wrong marketing OBS".
So now I would like to discuss the parts of openSUSE project because I
feel a bit confused about it and I believe I am not the only one. I
mean as I know parts of the openSUSE project are the SUSE Studio, the
openSUSE distribution, openSUSE LI-F-E and the OBS.
-Is there something else?( I don't know if we can include Yast in all
this)
I normally speak about these pillars:
* distribution
* community
* communication
* tools
Btw. we have no formal definition what an openSUSE sub-project is ;)
> -When you make a search for openSUSE project in our wiki in order
to find out what the openSUSE Project is you get that
http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Project , where you read: The openSUSE
project is a worldwide effort that promotes the use of Linux
everywhere. openSUSE creates one of the world's best Linux
distributions, working together in an open, transparent and friendly
manner as part of the worldwide Free and Open Source Software
community.
Nowhere you read about the other parts of the project than the
distribution,at list that is what I think except if I'm missing
something and if I do is it enough?
I recommend to talk about what should we find in an openSUSE project
booth other than information about the distribution and organize teams
to create that kind of information(at least for the parts we don't
have) and material.
good idea. So, what do others would add for a large booth:
First:
* distribution
* OBS (main part of tools) and SUSE Studio
* community
* communication
Second - lower prio:
* YaST
* libzypp/zypper
* openSUSE Education (LI-F-E)
* openSUSE Medical
I see people making great work in a variety of things around the
openSUSE project (OBS,LI-F-E and more) but because of lack of
promotion it gets behind and all we promote is the distribution. Well
we are not Ubuntu(it is just an example due to its popularity, I don't
mean anything else) and our goal should not be to become because I
believe we are something different and better and the distribution is
and should be a part of the whole idea around our project.
Let us don't leave distribution choke the Project.
Will you collect the responses and take care to present this on the wiki,
please?
Andreas
