Argh, the obs team is too fast for us.

This is the internal announcement on the obs mailing list - we can make the official one on news.o.o any time.

Carlos, Isabel, how can we help you?

Carlos, Isabel, have you set up a doc (etherpad?) or anything yet? If not just base it on what's below ;-)

I would be able to write something on the train on saturday evening but that might be too late... If you have a draft by then I can polish it and it can go live on Monday (which is a better date to do announcements anyway).

cheers Jos

With that speed, I suggest the marketing continues working on the *final* release and you do the Beta announcements on the build service mailing list, ok?

Hi,

I suggest to explain what obs is right at the beginning of the text - I've added a bit now but it does not fit in.

Also: The new features you mention are all features from 2.0. I suggested to add these features in a prominent way:

* enhanced web user interface: creation of submit requests; source history and showing of commits * Source services allow checkout from svn/git with tar up, download from remote sides * Read access control for package sources.

I would mention also the install methods, the new installation media that installs OBS on a fresh system directly, the appliances, the public build.opensuse.org as well as OBS is an Open Source project

I suggest to not use bullet points but instead announce three features and make a paragraph for each one.

Could you rework this further, please? Feel free to catch me on IRC,

Andreas

I worked on it a bit but don't know much about the features themselves. Carlos and Izabel I hope you can look at those facts and add them in?

This sounds a bit too technical to me. Maybe market this like

"wiki like code editing with OBS 2.1" ?

me likes. Will put it in. But is it really about code or about the .spec files? Can you give a wee bit more info?

We developed also the idea to market OBS as "Gläserne Fabrik", which translates to "Transparent Factory", but direct translation would be actually "Glas-like Factory".

While I like the german term very much (it is used by Volkswagen to talk about their factory where everybody can see how his car is produced, so most german technical people know it already) the english translation is less appealing to me.

Maybe someone here knows a similar term in english ?

So it is about the transparancy of the process you mean?

Hi,

We (SUSE and LinuxFoundation OBS team) just had a call and agreed on the OBS 2.1 release on next week monday or tuesday, just tell us when you need it. However, I saw that LinuxFoundation is not mentioned explicit anymore in the release text. Since they were the biggest contributor (beside SUSE itself) I would like to see their name printed there. Can you for example add after the sentence: "We would like to thank everyone who helped make the openSUSE Build Service 2.1 possible!" something like "Special thanks go to the OBS team at the LinuxFoundation who contributed the extended access handling of this release." Rudolf, James, Jan-Simon, is that sentence okay or would you like to have a different wording ? thanks adrian
