[opensuse-marketing] SmeeGol will go out soon!
Hi all, Within a few hours an announcement will go out: SmeeGol 1.0 is released! The announcement goes out on news.openSUSE.org but Novell will also help a bit by blogging about it and sending a message to journalists who might be interested. And the SUSE Studio team will make the SmeeGol Studio image their 'appliance of the week'. So that's cool - but of course, more help is very much welcome! Comment on the story on news, tweet and digg it, etcetera. As usual :D And yes, that really helps, that's why I ask... We got something unique here: - We are beating both Fedora and MeeGo itself in delivering the latest MeeGo software - AND we do it while shipping newer software (Banshee etc) - AND we have one-click-install for openSUSE users & SUSE Studio images ready to be cloned so anyone can make their own SUSE Studio version!!!! So let people know this, please!!! Cheers, Jos

Smeegol is the combination of MeeGo's innovative User eXperience aimed primarily at netbooks (but just as suitable on larger displays), and openSUSE's solid distro & ecosystem. Originally Smeegol stood for SUSE MeeGo Linux, but it is just openSUSE's interpretation of MeeGo now. Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin.

http://meego.com/community/blogs/imad/2010/meego-v1.0-core-software-platform... is nearly as cryptic! Why isn't it possible to write clearly? Is Meego/Smeagol a Linux operating system or a windows manager or even a skin? Impossible to know! Meego is a "netbook user experience" what frenchmen name "Volapück" (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volap%C3%BCk), that is a language that nobody can understand. It's already difficult to know for sure what is a "netbook". I beg this is the short name of a small computer mostly done with autonomy and internet connectivity in mind, But what mean "user experience" as a noun? So openSUSE is not an user experience? So what is smeegol? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Smeegol (beurk! reproduce by explosion?) I finally found an already seen paper about 11.3 with: "For another take on the netbook experience, one can turn to a new pre-release version of the MeeGo on OpenSUSE ("Smeegol") distribution developed by the OpenSUSE Goblin team. Based on the open source MeeGo v1.0 for Netbooks, which itself is forged from parts of Moblin, Maemo, and Qt, the "Smeegol" distro offers the Banshee music player, as well as Digg, Facebook, MySpace, and Flickr integration." So, may be "SmeeGol is an openSUSE Linux distribution derivative, also based on MeeGo, aimed to the use of the small laptop computers often called netbooks". Is that good? if so you can use it :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
I can't find an official website to learn something more about it.
Any clue?

Read the announcement :D Basically, Smeegol offers the Meego interface on top of openSUSE. That interface is very much like KDE's Plasma and GNOME Shell - desktop, panel, windowmanagement and some basic apps.
