[opensuse-marketing] OWN: Announcing openSUSE Distribution Freezes
by Andreas Jaeger 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

openSUSE Weekly Team, what do you think of adding to the distribution section information about the roadmap, e.g. mention this week that we had 30th of March * Milestone: Feature and version freeze for the base system * Milestone: Kernel and install works on most targeted machines. And will have: 9th April: * Milestone: installation workflow is feature frozen * Proofreading of all software starts so that we have a new baseline. * Milestone: Feature and version freeze for the complete distribution (exception: patchlevel update of leaf packages until Beta1+) * Milestone: All features are coding and function complete. * Milestone: Kernel and install works on all targeted machines. * Milestone: Last round of software translation starts - "hard text freeze" 22nd April: Milestone: Patchlevel update of granted packages finished. Leaf packages and packages not on DVD are usually granted without much discussion. (so, looking two or three weeks ahead).

by Andrew Wafaa 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

For all those that are willing to help out editing the videos, I think the easiest way to log which file they are editing and which file is completed in the AI[0]. So if you want to help out please add your details. Thanks, Andy 0 = https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=590804 -- Andrew Wafaa, openSUSE Member: FunkyPenguin.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Promo Media Status
by Andreas Jaeger 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

I've send out lots of openSUSE 11.2 media the last weeks and we're not out of stock of openSUSE 11.2 medias. But we do have a lot of openSUSE *11.1* DVDs left. I'm giving them out in large quantities now (multiples of 400!). So, if you want a lot of openSUSE 11.1 DVDs, send me privately an email following the instructions giving at http://zonker.opensuse.org/2010/01/05/opensuse-11-2-promo-dvds-and-how-to-g… them/ I'll take care to send out 11.1 media as long as we have them. As usual, first come, first serve.

[opensuse-marketing] New Planet openSUSE setup (draft)
by Pascal Bleser 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

I've been hacking on a new openSUSE planet aggregator installment these days (the current one being planet.opensuse.org). If you're interested, please have a look at the current draft and send me feedback: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2940942/planet_opensuse_draft/index.html Yes, I know, it's not finished: * currently missing the non-English versions * the feed list on the right is not properly styled yet * probably needs more testing with aggregated content that contains funky tags * only tested with Firefox 3.6 * not tested with text mode browsers (lynx, w3m) yet either It's based on Robert Lihm [1]'s Bento theme [2] template, which is currently in the works and will be used for the openSUSE wiki, build service, etc... But as I personally hate fixed layouts with a vengeance, I made an elastic version of it for Planet openSUSE #2 On a side note, it uses rawdog [3], which is what Planet KDE [4] is using, big up to Jonathan Riddell [5] for the customising I was able to reuse (and fork slightly) ;) [1]http://en.opensuse.org/User:Rlihm [2]http://en.opensuse.org/Boosters_Team/Projects/Integrate_all_Infrastructur… [3]http://offog.org/code/rawdog.html [4]http://www.planetkde.org/ [5]http://jriddell.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
