OpenSUSE is a Linux distribution in a period of transition. On Thursday morning the project announced a delay in the latest milestone build of OpenSUSE 12.2 and issued a call for a new development model.
This got me thinking, what’s wrong with OpenSUSE’s current model? On the surface it looks fine to me with regular milestones releases that seem to be coming with the regularity I’d expect. So I asked Jos Poortvliet, openSUSE community manager what was going on and he provided some very illuminating answers.
