[opensuse-project] One more reason for having a foundation
by Manu Gupta 29 Jan '12

29 Jan '12

Hi All, Today as I was discussing on the -marketing channel with you a few people around. I dont know if its a brilliant idea or not but if we have a foundation we can certainly encourage startups. Perhaps such sort of behaviour lead to future sponsorships and better technical engagements too. -- Regards Manu Gupta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Request for a __new__ spin for Cinnamon
by Nelson Marques 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Dear all, Cinnamon[1] is a 'gnome-shell' fork and it's becoming the main Desktop of Linux Mint. Currently it's composed of only 3 packages: * cinnamon - the shell * cinnamon-settings - a GUI configuration utility for cinnamon (gnome-shell has 'gnome-tweak-tool', cinnamon has cinnamon-settings) * muffin - cinnamon's window manager I would like to maintain a LiveCD spin off from 'Cinnamon' from openSUSE 12.2 onwards having in consideration the following: * An official LiveCD for Cinnamon (which on a later stage 12.2+n would introduce also MATE); * Introduce a higher customization level to meet the demands of our users and answer the calls for improved image; * Introduce a different set of default applications, for example: - drop Firefox and introduce Google Chrome as default browser; - add gwibber to the default patter; - drop useless crap like liferea (use chrome apps) and a few others; - default install with gconf-editor and dconf-editor - improved GDM screen - introduce emoK (a fork from mint's welcome screen, previously 'tirpitz' and renamed to emoK to answer the call for blood against 'tirpitz', emoK stands for "Emo Kids", yes, it's meant to be cinical :)) - This spin will have it own artwork set and it's meant to be visually different from the traditional openSUSE spins, it's more work... sure... I'll find artists or pick artwork from other sources and package it myself... It's imperative it gets it's own visual image and identity for success. The main goal is to provide an alternative option that can bring new users to openSUSE (mainly desktop moders, hype/trend wannabes and people who seek a different experience), reinforce and strengthen up our GNOME user base at least to 60% of openSUSE users so we can then make a claim to other things. - Will this pose a problem to anyone? - What do I need to do to secure that this spin will happen?

[opensuse-project] Music distro
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hello team, After the mail that Bryen sent about Linux Audio Conference (http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2012/) and the passing of a musical university in Greece to open source, I thought to propose it. Can we make a distro focus on music with such software and codecs? Some of them areMixxx,Audacity,Rosengarden,Alsa Mixer,Ardour,jack control,jack server,JAmin,Musescore and many more. I'm not into music (only listen) and don't know what they need. I believe that it can be done easy to SUSE Studio (I didn't search if there's one). Personally I face some problems to setup my appliance with mysql and apache servers and a CMS like program. Have a lot of fun!
