Sorry for "top-posting"...
As you may know, CentOS (free clone of RHEL) is changing it's
direction from being a RHEL clone to being a test-bed for RHEL N+1
version, the new product is called CentOS Stream, big part of CentOS
community is rightfully upset about it and they are looking for
alternatives, I was thinking we could capture a significant part of
that market if we approach the issue with the right strategy and
united, we certainly do have a lot to offer, starting with openSUSE
Leap, going thru OBS (which is in my opinion sort of a killer app),
all the way to all other more use-case specific "micro projects"...
I would like to see if we can put together a team of 5 - 10 people
with skills cited below by Stasiek from my original post to project@
only, now let me see how many bounce messages I get from CCing the
specific mailing lists :-)
Further citing from my original post, I believe this may actually
work, I was already spreading the word on Reddit all day today....
I am wondering if someone here is committed to trying to come up with
the strategy on how to go about that, I think it will be essential to
produce easy to understand migration guides from CentOS -> openSUSE
Leap and stress that CentOS is moving in the exact opposite
direction as we are moving with openSUSE Leap and SUSE Linux
Enterprise...
I've been giving it some thought. I have come up with a little of a
strategy for this, which I started on
https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/migratefromcentos
<https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/migratefromcentos>
It still needs some refinement and community input, but for the most
part it addresses an immediate vision.
If we get some small group of committed people together, it makes
sense then to have an alignment call and discuss specifics, and manage
it as a sort of a project just to evaluate results and perhaps
implement some continuous improvements, the whole process of "killing
original CentOS" is planned for about a year, but there will be a big
spike in next few weeks I believe, followed by a long tail...

If this gains traction here and interest of perhaps 5 - 10 people with
right skillset:
- technical writer
- graphics designer (who does not like pretty graphics)
- geeks (so we can translate and test CentOS guides for openSUSE)
As for the PPC, I didn't mention that in the etherpad. I'll have to look
at the overall budget to see what we can afford per month/quarter, which
I can chat with the board about it. I would prefer that in doing a PPC,
we only do it for certain content. Maybe marketing has a meeting for
each proposed PPC item per month or quarter to make a determination. I
could see a PPC being very useful in this situation for something like
"migration guides from CentOS to openSUSE Leap" or videos showing
something similar.
