Good morning everyone,
I'm happy to announce the creation of a new mailing list:
opensuse-kernel.
This list is dedicated to the discussion of the openSUSE kernel
development (Factory et al) and the kernels in the buildservice.
Packaging or openSUSE-specific patches (though hopefully rare and
growing more so) are on-topic; general Linux kernel development is best
served by the existing public lists (LKML et al).
Regards,
Lars

Hi
Thanks to everybody who already replied to aj's mail on opensuse-translation.
We still need some help with some languages, especially German, Spanish,
Brasilian Portuguese and Japanese. Also help on other Languages is welcome.
Here is some usefull information about localization:
http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Localization_Guidehttp://i18n.opensuse.org/
(here you can find also an overview what already is translated)
If you want to join the opensuse translation team please read the mail below.
Thanks!
--- for convenience the mail from aj ---
There have been several requests from community members on the mailing
lists to join language teams for the languages Brazilian Portuguese,
German, French, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and
Traditional Chinese. We have now decided to open up the translation
process completely and not put any restrictions on it. Therefore I
invite you to create language teams for those eight languages
mentioned above, join one of the existing teams or start a new
language team for a language we currently do not support. If you're
interested, please mail on the opensuse-translation mailing list which
team you like to create - or join!
We currently have 55 languages - and I would like to thank everybody
involved with these. It's impressive to see those translations,
especially for those languages where I would not directly expect that
many openSUSE users! Thanks a lot!
Additionally I propose to have during the installation slide show a
slide with the following content:
openSUSE Localization
The openSUSE project is a community project and many individuals are
involved in bug fixing, packaging, testing, documentation and also
localization. Localization for openSUSE specific software is done
by different language teams and the localization portal is reachable
under http://i18n.opensuse.org/ .
Each translation teams should then add a new sentence to this
parargraphwith e.g. in German "Die deutsche Übersetzung wurde
durchgeführt von Karl Eichwalder und Andreas Jaeger " (translated back
to English: "The German translation has been done by Karl Eichwalder
and Andreas Jaeger" - assuming Karl and myself did the work).
What do you think about this? Should we add this slide? Should we do
it differently?
We're a little bit late with this announcement - sorry about that. We
will try to stretch every deadline to get localized packages into
10.3 and especially Karl Eichwalder and Stephan Kulow will help you to
move this forward!
Andreas

Hi
We just fixed more or less our schedule until 10.3 will arrive, and we have
still some openSUSE 10.2 PromoDVDs. This is your chance, we offer them to
you!
For what?
- you have a local linux/it event in the near future
- you are in a LUG
- you are the computer guy/gal at school/university
- you already promote openSUSE in another way
- maybe some other reason ...
I don't want to send out some DVDs for personal use, so please answer only if
you can really spread them. The intention is to give them away to
openSUSE/Linux beginners ...
Please send your request directly to me, including:
- subject: PromoDVD
- if possible an url of the LUG/event/school/university
- number of wanted DVDs
- reason why you want the DVDs
- Address
a sort email is enough ...
First come first serve, no promises ...

Hi!
AJ used to write here, that he's glad to announce. I can't say I am - I am
relieved I can announce openSUSE 10.3 Alpha6 to you. I didn't have a chance
to put too much testing into more than the i586 DVD5 and the KDE CD. But I
didn't want to wait any longer either. So I'm left with hoping the best.
Important Changes Since Alpha5
==============================
* Linux 2.6.22
* libzypp 3.11.8
* gcc 4.2
* Continued splitting of packages to reduce size
* Introduction of x86_64 CDs for both KDE and GNOME
This is a first alpha release containing the new refactored libzypp software
management library. The goal was to deliver a working version for this alpha,
so expect rough edges, unusal slowdown and behavior, for example YaST
integration is really alpha quality. All bug reports are very welcome.
A more detailed list of changes is available via
http://en.opensuse.org/Factory/News .
Most Annoying Bugs
==================
* Network setup is still broken (e.g. Bug 292401)
* Public key for checking release-notes.rpm is unavailable (Bug 292402)
* Registration is broken (Bug 292404)
* GNOME 2.19 is W.I.P. (Bug 292706 and Bug 292837)
* "Add default repositories" crashes the installation (Bug 292643)
As mentioned above, this might be the first alpha we release with known alpha
quality.
Call for Testing
================
* libzypp/zypper
Give this good testing. The integration into yast needs testing, zypper
needs testing, updates would be good to test.
Please note that the zypp development team collected a huge collection of
test cases and these pass. So while the new libzypp version didn't get much
real life testing, our hopes are high it will work out for you.
* GNOME
The desktop doesn't give a good impression to first time users at the moment.
Media and Download
==================
openSUSE 10.3 Alpha6 for i386, x86-64 and ppc comes as different media
sets:
* 1 DVD containing the contents of the 5 CDs and the NonOSS AddOn CD
* 1 CD with a default KDE installation (not for ppc yet)
* 1 CD with a default GNOME installation (not for ppc yet)
* 1 AddOn CD with only NonOSS packages on it
* 1 AddOn CD with language packages that are used for extra
languages (the DVD contains support for english, french, italian, spanish,
german, chinese, japanese, czech, danish, norwegian, khmer,
hungarian, polish) (the DVD has support for installation in all
languages, just extra packages are only on this extra media)
* DVD/CDs containing the sources corresponding to the media
We have created Delta ISOs from openSUSE 10.3 Alpha5. Please use them
for download.
The DVDs and the source media are only available via bittorrent.
Please report all bugs you find on in our bugzilla as explained in
http://bugs.opensuse.org, discussion is most appropriate on the
opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org mailing list.
To download media, please use the links provided at:

contributing new story, you need to have an account. If you like to
contribute, contact admin(a)opensuse.org - and if you like to submit a
story without an account mail to news-submit(a)opensuse.org.
We also have a calendar (with .ical) for events and other important

I'm glad to announce that I have given over my responsibilities for the
openSUSE distribution to Stephan Kulow <coolo(a)suse.de>. As from now on
Stephan is project manager for the openSUSE distribution.
Stephan - known also as Coolo - the "born release dude", has been with
Novell/SUSE for five years. Before that he worked on Linux distributions
at Caldera. His wide experience in Linux includes the dinosaurs (called
s390), desktop technology (KDE), several build systems (including his
own at Caldera), and SUSE tools like package translation.
Stephan's first challenge will be the release of openSUSE 10.3 Alpha6
this week and I fear I've left him some hard nuts to crack. Having
worked with Stephan for many years, we can expect nothing but an
excellent openSUSE
10.3 release in the end. ;-)
Btw. in my new function as Director of Platform and openSUSE, I'll stay
involved with openSUSE,
Andreas
