The Future is Unwritten

...and so is the title of this presentation

This session will discuss in detail a new SUSE project and start the discussion on its potential benefits for openSUSE
It'll explain some of the concepts, the thoughts behind this new approach and provide some ideas about future processes, especially those which relate to openSUSE and the adoption, support, and maintenance of code between SUSE and openSUSE
