Every 6th months a release or one year and one release. I think we should make one release in one year. By doing so devs and translators won't be in rush in every 6 months. Also there are major changes like systemd/upstart; those system related things will be more mature in a year to use. It makes the distro more stable and decraese mirrors space waste. One more thing. Do we follow Mandriva's release naming scheme? I.e. do we call our first release 2011.x ? I don't like this naming scheme and suggesting using number of release as naming like Mageia 1.0 or using code names. What's your opinion? Hi all. At this time, there is a survey asking to the blogdrake's community what kind of release cycle they prefer. This survey will be active until the weekend and I think this could be an acceptable look about community preferences. We must keep on mind we're creating a user-oriented distro, so we must be stay in touch about their preferences. Cheers Where is the survey? Marc Sorry, the word is "poll" :P Blogdrake is the mandriva's oficial spanish-spoken forum. You can find the poll at the frontpage: http://blogdrake.net
IMHO, I think such a poll could be mis-leading as it supposes that users will have experienced "rolling releases", "light rolling release", "LTS" and the Mandriva "update/upgrade". If enough people vote, the vote will show the Mandriva way as being preferred as, again, most users do not have that much experience in different upgrade/update methods. It will be a closer result if fewer people take part in it.
I think the distro dev's would be in a better position to explain the pro's and con's of these different types and explain to we users the amount of work/development time needed to maintain these.
