[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Conference 2011 CfP open!
by Jos Poortvliet 16 May '11

16 May '11

Dear friends, On Sunday the 11th of September it will be that time again: the openSUSE Conference starts. And of course we want an exciting program. Today, the proposal submission time starts and you have until July 11th to let us know what you want to discuss at the conference! The openSUSE Conference 2011 will happen from Sunday 11th to Wednesday 14th of September in Nuremberg, Germany. This date shouldn’t conflict with too many other conferences. We’ll be open for registration and a pre-party on Saturday night! The website on conference.opensuse.org is being updated still and we’ll let you know once you can register. We expect about 500 visitors this year and hence had to find a new location. A perfect spot was found in a previous industrial complex from AEG named ‘Zentrifuge‘. This cultural center might not be the ‘usual’ space for an IT conference but offers a very creative and open space, currently used for art and music. Exactly right for the openSUSE Free Software gathering! The committee is looking for a wide range of talks and sessions from Free Software contributors, however openSUSE related topics are obviously our focus. To simplify the wide range of activities one could plan, we have created three different sessions following the Read/Write/Execute theme. For Read-Only there are talks with the traditional slides and 5-10 minutes Q&A at the end. For Write there are the BOF sessions where discussions can take place. Finally, in Workshops the Execute bit can be set! Each session will last 40 minutes but for complicated subjects it is perfectly OK to ask for 2 consecutive or non-consecutive discussion or workshop slots! For more information about the format and how to give a talk, organize a Discussion/BOF or give a workshop, please refer to our guidelines for speakers[1]. Authors are also advised to consult the code of conduct[2] before submitting their paper. [1]http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_Planning_2011_guidelines_for_s… [2]http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Code_of_Conduct The proposals can be submitted to cfp(a)opensuse.org Deadline for the submission is July 11th 2011. We look forward to your proposals! Read the full announcement here: http://news.opensuse.org/2011/05/16/opensuse-conference-2011-to-be-creative- and-open/ Cheers, The oSC 2011 Paper Committee

by Marcus Meissner 12 May '11

Hi, With the release of a kdelibs4 security fix on Thursday 12th of May the SUSE Security Team has released the last update for openSUSE 11.2. openSUSE 11.2 is now officially discontinued and out of support by SUSE. However the openSUSE Evergreen community effort is going to continue the openSUSE 11.2 maintenance similar to 11.1. The overview page of this project, how to activate and use it, and other details, is on: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen The Evergreen project is lead by openSUSE community member Wolfgang Rosenauer. openSUSE 11.2 was the first openSUSE distribution lead by a community maintenance team. The team is currently driven by SUSE employees Christian Dengler and Marcus Meissner mostly, and operate under the. the maintenance(a)opensuse.org alias. We have released 172 recommened (bugfix) updates for openSUSE 11.2. These updates fixed a total of 354 unique bugs. We could not have worked with YOU! - All bugreporter telling us about bugs - All packagers that submitted fixes - and of course the SUSE build team lead by Rudi Oertel. Thank you! Our homepage is: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Maintenance Ciao, Marcus, Christian (and the rest of the team) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, With the release of a kdelibs4 security fix on Thursday 12th of May SUSE has released the last update for openSUSE 11.2. openSUSE 11.2 is now officially discontinued and out of support by SUSE. However the openSUSE Evergreen community effort is going to continue the openSUSE 11.2 maintenance similar to 11.1. The overview page of this project, how to activate and use it, and other details, is on: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen The Evergreen project is lead by openSUSE community member Wolfgang Rosenauer. Here are some security statistics: openSUSE 11.2 was released on November 12th 2009, making it 18 months of security and bugfix support. Some statistics on the released patches (compared to 11.1, which had 7 months more): (As comparison would otherwise be difficult due to the different lifetimes, I did adjust the 11.1 numbers by *18/25) Total updates: 489 (-19) Security: 317 (-19) Recommended: 172 (+ 3) Optional: 0 (- 3) CVE Entries: 1134 (+288) (-35 unadjusted) There is a 3% decrease in the number of security updates compared to openSUSE 11.1. There is however a 24% increase in CVE numbers fixed. The increase is largely due to approximately 180 webkit CVEs we solved by version upgrades. Top issues (compared to 11.1 for issues down to 5), (not lifetime adjusted): 13 MozillaFirefox (-6) 11 seamonkey (+3) 10 flash-player (+1) 9 krb5 (+4) 8 MozillaThunderbird (0) 8 java-1_6_0-openjdk (-2) 8 acroread (-3) 7 opera (-2) 6 mozilla-xulrunner191 5 tomcat6 5 libopenssl-devel (-4) 5 kernel (-9) 5 java-1_6_0-sun (+2) 5 clamav (-2) 5 apache2-mod_php5 (-2) And top issues sorted by CVE (Common Vulnerability Enumeration) count (down to 5) (compared to 11.1 for the top, not adjusted to lifetime): 180 libwebkit (NEW) 120 seamonkey (+37) 119 MozillaFirefox (-44) (would be around 0 equalized) 113 acroread (-2) 95 MozillaThunderbird (-25) 94 java-1_6_0-sun (-20) 106 kernel (+23) 84 mozilla-xulrunner191 (-43) 83 flash-player (+1) 63 java-1_6_0-openjdk (-20) 45 php5 (+7) 27 opera (0) 26 wireshark (-7) 23 mysql (+8) 18 freetype2 (+1) 15 krb5 (+3) 19 OpenOffice_org (+12) 12 pidgin/finch (-2) 11 tomcat6 (+1) 10 clamav (0) 9 perl 9 poppler (-4) 9 postgresql (-2) 8 cups 8 python 6 sudo 6 gimp 6 glibc 6 openssl (-8) 6 libvirt 6 bind 5 viewvc 5 ghostscript (-6) 5 texlive 5 fuse 5 libtiff 5 exim 5 dovecot12 5 build 5 evince 5 python-feedparser 5 libpcsclite1 5 samba (-7) # security updates by count # grep -l type..secur updateinfo-*|sed -e 's/^updateinfo-//;s/-[0-9]*.xml$//;'|sort|uniq -c|sort -n +0 -r|less # grep CVE- update* |perl -e '%cves=();while (<>) { while (/(CVE-2...-....)/) { $cve{$1}++; s/CVE-2...-....//;} } print join("\n",sort keys %cve)."\n";' | wc -l # for i in updateinfo-* ; do echo -n "$i " ; grep CVE- $i|perl -e '%cves=();while (<>) { while (/(CVE-2...-....)/) { $cve{$1}++; s/CVE-2...-....//;} } print join("\n",sort keys %cve)."\n";' | wc -l ; done |perl -e 'while (<>) { /^updateinfo-(\S*)-\d*.xml (\d*)$/; $cnt{$1}+=$2; } ; foreach (sort { $cnt{$b} <=> $cnt{$a} } keys %cnt) { print "$cnt{$_}\t\t$_\n";} ' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org
