[opensuse-marketing] RFC: Draft of obs 2.0 beta1 announcement
by Andreas Jaeger 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi Team, I've just wrote down a very first draft of an Beta1 announcement. We're not ready yet to announce but are ready to discuss what to announce. Please send me your changes! openSUSE Build Service 2.0 Beta1 Release The openSUSE Build Service (obs) is an open package and distribution development platform that provides a transparent infrastructure that allows developers to build for various major Linux distributions and architectures. The public server http://build.opensuse.org is available for all open source developers to build packages for the most popular distributions incl. Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, openSUSE, Red Hat, SUSE Linux Enterprise and Ubuntu. It is also used to build the openSUSE distribution. This is the first beta release of version 2.0. Version 2.0 is planned to be released in June. We have updated the public server http://build.opensuse.org with the current code stream as part of our testing. We invite others running a build service to test the code and give feedback via the opensuse-buildservice mailing list and report bugs in bugzilla. Beta1 is feature complete, new features will go in the next major release (release date ende 2010), we will concentrate on fixing bugs now. The most significant changes are: * A completely new designed Web UI. It is now clearly structured, loads faster and has more access to meta data of packages and projects, lists requests for users and packages, and allows branching from the web interface. * Anonymous access to all packages and projects. This is configurable for each instance and enabled on our public instance. * An easy way to view unsubmitted changes in development projects or new upstream releases. This is used especially for our openSUSE distribution development. * The request system has been enhanced: A new request type to add or change the user list of packages or projects has been added. Also review handling is now possible to allow a team to review changes prior to accepting a request. * Roles can now get assigned not only to single users but also to groups of users. For example the maintenance team could be added as reviewer for a project. * Developers can receive notifications if one of their package gets branched by others. * Improved source handling: It's possible to undelete packages. Meta data are now under version control. * The build service has seen many speedups so that packages get build faster. You can try the obs 2.0 beta1 either on http://build.opensuse.org or in your own infrastructure. Deployment is possible directly from source code or from our combined server and worker virtual appliance image (XXX: add URLs here). -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-marketing] 11.3 Marketing Strategy planning
by Bryen M. Yunashko 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi folks, As pursuant to today's meeting action item, I have thrown up an initial page outlining all the items we need to address for the 11.3 Release scheduled in July. This is, by no means, an exhaustive list. You are free to add/modify and discuss as you see fit. For the remainder of this week, I will be present in the Marketing irc channel every day at 14:00 UTC to work on the strategy and have informal briefing times with all who wish to participate. My biggest goal for this week is to focus on the "Develop Message" section. This will be the section that influences the rest of our strategy. Please! Get involved. Participate! This is our biggest marketing function of the year (and we have lots of functions), so pull up your pants and show up. If you cannot show up for the daily briefings, please feel free to discuss your thoughts and inputs on the mailing list here. http://en.opensuse.org/Marketing_team/11.3_Campaign Thanks, Bryen M Yunashko openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Marketing Team lead GNOME-A11y Outreach -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Countdown for 11.3
by Pascal Bleser 18 May '10

18 May '10

After jimmac handed me the new design for 11.3, I've updated counter.o.o accordingly: http://counter.opensuse.org/11.3/ Note that it comes in three different sizes: * 400x400: http://counter.opensuse.org/11.3/large * 256x256: http://counter.opensuse.org/11.3/medium * 130x130: http://counter.opensuse.org/11.3/small If you don't add anything after "11.3", it automatically pulls the medium- sized picture (256x256). You may also use one of the following URLs: * http://counter.opensuse.org * http://counter.opensuse.org/small * http://counter.opensuse.org/medium * http://counter.opensuse.org/large in which case it will always display the latest countdown (11.3 now, 11.4 in a few months). Those are static PNG images, no Javascript nor anything special needed. Apache on the server side is picking the picture in the right language depending on the accepted languages sent by the browser of the person that goes on your blog/site/whatever which pulls the image from counter.o.o Currently, it is translated in the following languages: English (en), German (de), Czech (cz), Slovak (sk), French (fr), Danish (da), Russian (ru), Polish (pl), Dutch (nl), Finnish (fi), Spanish (es), Italian (it), Greek (el), Swedish (sv), Croatian (hr), Norwegian (nb), Portuguese (pt), Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR), Hungarian (hu), Romanian (ro), Slovenian (sl), Chinese (cn and tw), Indonesian (id), Bulgarian (bg), Japanese (jp), Walloon (wa), Galician (gl) and Georgian (ge). If you'd like to contribute another language, please let me know ;D To link them in your blog/site/whatever: <img src="http://counter.opensuse.org"/> cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser <pascal.bleser(a)opensuse.org> /\\ http://opensuse.org -- I took the green pill _\_v FOSDEM::6+7 Feb 2010, Brussels, http://fosdem.org
