Test Case: A demo version giving an idea of the working of the app: https://www.dropbox.com/s/31yvyqb17vrxmtl/openSUSE.apk (Use only the news section for now.) Use Case: Screenshots of the app running on phones and tablets https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0neut99ef6obkay/YLNoxmgYXf Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: openSUSE is a large community of active developers, with a multitude of projects and developments happening all the time. To keep track of the news and events related to the community, users only have option of using the website which can be tedious on-the-go, especially on a mobile device. The openSUSE app would thus be crucial in keeping the user constantly in sync with the community's varied endeavours. This could lead more developers to share their work and reach out to a vast user base. In short, I wish to bring the entire functionality of the website to the Android app. Discussion: #1: Dustin Falgout (falgout) (2013-05-12 06:34:59) I think this is a great idea. We are becoming more mobile everyday and thats not going to change. An openSUSE app could do many things for the distro: 1. It will create new interest in openSUSE and that buzz will bring more users to the base. 2. How awesome would it be to have this app the next time you are feeling adventurous and make a change that you is risky (come on, we all do this occasionally) and end up with a broken system? Grab your phone and you have all the help openSUSE has to offer at your fingertips (in a clean, quick, and easy format for mobile). 3. The app would bring attention to openSUSE as a fresh and innovative. I don't know of any distro that publish an Android App but honestly I haven't checked so I wont go as far as to say how great it would be to show the community yet again what bleeding edge means. No I wont say that ;) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315040
