In the initial announcement, the openSUSE Project noted the fact that they've extended the maintenance life cycle for openSUSE 13.1 to three years, but today they're announcing the end of life on January 5, 2016, which is ten months earlier than expected.
What this means is that starting with January 5, the openSUSE 13.1 operating system will no longer receive software updates and security patches. However, the Evergreen community team is already thinking about picking up the maintenance, which means that the OS might receive updates for a longer period.
On the other hand, the openSUSE Project announces that they will support for the openSUSE 13.2 release with software updates and security patches for two more months after the announcement of the upcoming openSUSE Leap 42.2 operating system, due for release in about one year from today.
