SuSE, openSUSE Novell openSUSE project has had a recent history of trouble with its update programs. Now, to make updating openSUSE more pleasant, the project is dropping its support for ZENworks and opening up YAST to community development. DesktopLinux.com has the story here and some other info here.

Like bhhenry said, I thought the difference should be pretty clear between creating open source software and having an open development model.

For example, Red Hat releases its OSes as 100% open source software but Fedora, not Red Hat, has an open development model.

SuSE has been open source from the very beginning, but its development was only opened up when Novell bought it. YaST must have been one of the last bulwarks. I hope for openSuse that there's enough interest in YaST, it not being one of the best loved pieces of software.
