I am interested in writing documentation about OBS and kernel module packages. Specific topics:

- build.novell.com vs. build.o.o vs. private OBS instance: What is the difference w/ respect to building kernel module packages? Which should a developer choose? - how to use single source to build kernel module packages for multiple distros. Some is covered in http://www.novell.com/communities/node/9226/using-opensuse-build-service-cr eate-and-distribute-kernel-module-packages but it needs to be updated and expanded. - any other specific OBS config stuff for building kernel module packages

That is great, I have added a chapter template for you for the best practice guide.

In my experience most openSUSE people have more correct English than mine - (Australian :) ) - so I don't expect much will be required - but in case I can occasionally help, do go ahead and add me. Helen

I would be happy to add you to the committers list. So you can also peer review our broken english commits and fix it directly :)

thanks adrian

I agree .

I too, can assist in this manner. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

I (and our team in Nokia) would certainly be interested in supporting this

An area I'm especially interested in (related to chapter 10) would be "OBS operations".

This would probably cover: * distributed deployment (complements 10.1. Server Components) * monitoring * backup / restore * performance and then * Administration

David (lbt on berlios too)

Great, you have been added. Please note there is already a "meego" tag which you might add as os="meego" attribute for MeeGo specific parts. Or you may want to introduce also a "nokia" one. thanks adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
