Hello everybody! Our YODASP openSUSE Beta is finally live, and users can now register to get free access to the lately released openSUSE 12.2 KDE environment within the YODASP CLOUD workspace environment. If you are interested register from the YODASP site [1] or from the YODASP CLOUD login page [2] and get access to openSUSE 12.2 KDE systems to try them out. Please carefully read what you can do and what you can expect from the openSUSE Beta from the "HOW DOES IT WORK" section on the openSUSE BETA page [3].

We are working on automating subscriptions. When your request will be approved, you will get a URL link to access your workspace environment. An interesting part is that we have chosen to use the wonderful ownCloud [4] workspace environment to get access to the openSUSE systems through the NoMachine "NX Free Edition" technology [5].

[opensuse-project] New utility cmdinitrd in mkinitrd
by Dr. Werner Fink 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Hi, I've just added a small utility named cmdinitrd which allows the user to run command on file in an initrd. A few examples cmdinitrd /boot/initrd diff -u etc/adjtime /etc/adjtime cmdinitrd /boot/initrd less etc/adjtime this makes it more handy than always to explain a user reporting a bug how to use zcat, pipes, cpio, and the command its self on a long command line.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Conference
by Agustin Benito Bethencourt 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Hi, I want to give you a general overview of the openSUSE Conference. Basic tasks done Most of topic that needed to be cover in advance are already closed: * Keynote speakers flight tickets and accommodation * Attendees accommodation * Venues * Social program venues * Schedule except the "Business Friendly track" that will be closed today. * Basic Merchandising * Registration (please register if you haven done it) * Pre-event press articles * Place where to have lunch * Many others... SUSE involvement SUSE office in Prague is very involved. You probably will have the chance to meet many of them during the event, since they will be doing work on the field as volunteers, together with community volunteers. About 80 SUSE employees are coming from different locations, like Nuremberg, US, Taiwan, Beijing.... They will also help the core team and volunteers on the field. Today the openSUSE Team arrives to Prague to organize, together with the Prague office team, most of the work on the field, so when volunteers arrive they know what to do, who is coordinating what, etc. So a lot of Geeko followers coming..... It will be August for Beer places. Prague and Nuremberg SUSE people together....Oh dear. :-) Venue 1 to Venue 2 and other tasks On Sunday afternoon we have to move from one venue to another, so we will need many hands to help, not just in this process, but also during the weekend, since part of the core team will be preparing Venue 2. Both venue are 200 m apart. It is going to be challenging, but we will make it with your help. We still need volunteers that help in things like social media, Chair(wo)men, registration/help desk, network/video recording team, etc. If you are coming and are willing to help for a few hours before or during the event, please add yourself to the wiki page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_volunteers Lunch The cafeteria from campus will be open for us at lunch time (specially the weekend) so you can go there and have different good options at a cheap price. It is a semi-self service so it will be fast. You will only be able to pay with Czech Korones. Make sure you have change available. Euros or credit cards won't be allowed in the Cafeteria (from what I understand). Registration - Welcome party This Friday, as it has been published, we will have a welcome party in front of venue 1. Please make sure that you come to the venue to register and receive your badge before going to the party. We want to avoid long lines on Saturday morning. Be aware that you will need your badge to enter the rooms and going to the party on Saturday night. Further information with all the details will be sent to attendees. Please check the news section and the conference website for further information. Other small details * Check that you r computer charger is compatible with the standard in Czech republic. * Change some money before coming or in the airport. There are Cash Machines but just in case.... * Check the expected weather before coming. It looks like we will have good weather (well, what they call good weather at this time of the year in Central Europe). * If you are arriving on Friday, go directly to the venue for helping a little or for registration (from 18 hours). Then join the Welcome Party. Booth We will have booths from different distributions there, since Linux Days brings them. I personally would like to see us being the coolest and more interesting booth of the event. We need to go wild with crazy ideas. If you are creative and want to help....this is your spot. Community BoFs All this effort is being done because we believe that an event is a key element for every community. Besides the talks, the parties.... we have to make sure that some work is done. This event should be the time for discussions, for decisions, for agreements, for common analysis.... We have provided space for this. Joint the proposed BoFs or create new ones. Disclaimer Please remember that organizing an event is a stressful task and most of the people involved in the organization are not "event managers" but engineers. So my apologies in advance for the mistakes we will make. If you have any urgency we have an emergency Phone number you can call at any time (check you badge). Somebody will be there help you. For non critical issues, please approach the staff at the help/registration desk and we will try to deal/solve your problem or question. Enjoy Prague is an awesome city. I recommend you to visit it...if you have time, because we have been working in creating a schedule interesting enough to make hard for you to leave the Conference. Enjoy the conference.... See you there. Personal note It will be my first openSUSE Conference and I don know most of you. Since I am fully involved in the organization of the event, I doubt I have much time left to talk, but I will do my best. Approach me and introduce yourself. I will appreciate it. I am excited about the Conference. saludos -- Agustin Benito Bethencourt openSUSE Team Lead at SUSE abebe(a)suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
