[opensuse-announce] Marketing Collaboration Days
by Bryen Yunashko 02 Dec '10

02 Dec '10

openSUSE Marketing Collaboration Days The openSUSE Marketing Team is proud to host Collaboration Days during the month of December. Each designated day, we will focus on a specifc area related to marketing. The purpose of this is to get some work done on that topic to strengthen our ability to promote openSUSE to the world. It is a day that is meant to be busy and productive for the team as well as an opportunity for non-team members to stop by and offer their perspectives and help out as we hack away. As this is an open process, we encourage everyone to come join us, even if you are not directly related to openSUSE. All perspectives are important and we welcome you all. Planned Agenda: 6 December 2010 Ambassador Support Review (Moderators - Carlos Ribeiro, Kostas Koudaras) Focus: Review existing support materials for Ambassadors and identify key checkpoint materials such as a checklist for booths. Review openSUSE Booth design concepts and strengthen reference materials such as talking points and developing strong presentation/speaking skills. 13 December 2010 Marketing Materials Review (Moderators - Chuck Payne, Bryen Yunashko) Focus: Review current posted materials including, but not limtied to, brochures, slide presentations, talking points, etc. Strengthen existing materials and add new materials where needed. Review placement on our wiki to ensure material is readily available for all who need it. 21 December 2010 PR and Social Media Review (Moderated by Manu Gupta and Jos Poortvliet) Focus: Review our strategy for reaching out to the press/media and our methods for publicizing through social media outlets including blogs, Twitter/Identi.ca, Facebook and other online venues. Document our methods and ensure we have caretakers for all sites. How this works: Think "hackfest." Each day, the moderators of each event will post a list of suggested assignments. You are welcome to select from the list or create an assignment that you feel you can best contribute to. Moderators are there to offer advice and guidance, not to control what you wish to do. it is your chance to express yourself freely and creatively. During the Collaboration Day, you will work either on your own or with partners as you choose. Occasionally, moderators may host brief discussion sessions to review the assignments and status. Where: We meet in the #openSUSE-Marketing IRC channel on Freenode. That's where the list will be hosted. However, you are not expected to put your full attention onto the channel. it is just a place to ask questions and get some advice. The majority of your time you will "meet" in your preferred environment where you feel you work best. Collaboration Days begin at 9:00 UTC and end at 24:00 UTC It's your day, it's openSUSE's day! Let's make the most of it! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] Novell, Attachmate and openSUSE
by Pascal Bleser 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

As published on http://news.opensuse.org/2010/11/22/novell-agrees-to-be-acquired-by-attachm… Is this thing on? *tap* *tap*. Good evening friends, this is your openSUSE Board [1] speaking. If you didn’t hear yet, Novell [2] has agreed to be acquired by Attachmate Corporation [3]. What does that mean for the openSUSE Project? We don’t know exactly yet because our crystal ball is currently in the shop and therefore fortune-telling is not our greatest talent ;-) However, we have other talents: we are a software developer community and we’re here to work on one of the greatest GNU/Linux distributions and other world class software distribution tools to advance Free and Open Source software together with the global FOSS community! For now, we don’t know much about Attachmate, we have had no dealings with them yet and, as Novell is a publicly traded company, all of this is as new to us as to anyone else. But the openSUSE Project has had, since its beginning, a very vibrant cooperation with Novell, especially with Novell’s SUSE business, and we are looking forward to continuing this once Novell and SUSE become part of Attachmate! Our best wishes go out to the people of our community that are employed by Novell and SUSE, may this bring nothing but good things for you and your careers. The second part of the deal relates to the intellectual property that is changing hands. Our hope is that this does not add to the minefield that software patents are today for Free and Open Source software developers. The openSUSE Board generally believes, like the rest of the global FOSS community, that software patents impede innovation and are inconsistent with Open Source and Free Software. What makes us proud is that Attachmate wants to further and strengthen the SUSE brand, which is based also on products and technology built by the openSUSE Project. Furthermore we are more than willing and looking forward to teaching another corporation about the principles, values and strengths of the Free and Open Source software development model. If you are reading this as an Attachmate employee, we would like to encourage you to just swing by and talk to us about the opportunites we can offer you to participate in this project! And apart from all that it’s business as usual and we are continuing to work on, rather than predicting, the future of this project and have a lot of fun! By the way if you wonder what that means practically, the next step into the future of this project is described in the post below: Our great bug squashing day on Saturday. See you there!

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Announces Third Development Milestone Evaluating systemd
by Will Stephenson 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Delayed by a week due to a critical bug that prevented testing, the openSUSE project today announces openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 3 (M3), the third of six milestone releases of what will become openSUSE 11.4. The bug, a crash in the software rasterizer of the Mesa OpenGL stack, was found by our automated test suite and the openSUSE XOrg developers swung into action so that KDE would work on systems without hardware acceleration, which includes most virtual machines. systemd, the alternative init system, becomes available for testing in M3 with version 11. To test systemd, install it, then reboot with init=/bin/systemd as described by Andreas Jaeger. Otherwise, the existing SysV init is used. M3 includes Gnome 2.32 on the desktop, including metacontact support in the Empathy instant messenger and Banshee 1.8 with Amazon MP3 store plugin, KDE 4.5.3, and a number of independent updates including version 0.11 of the Arora browser, the chemistry tool Avogadro 1.0.1 and Licq 1.5, introducing XMPP support to this venerable IM client. On the productivity front, M3 includes LibreOffice 3.2.99, a host of additional optional packages for KOffice such as lcms2 giving better colour management and image processing options, and Digikam 1.5.0 including automated lens correction while batch processing multiple images, Mono 2.8 replaces Mono 2.6 and adds C# 4.0, an new garbage collector and many performance improvements. At the lower level, Linux kernel 2.6.36 is in, along with smartmontools 5.40 brings SSD support, and Wireshark 1.4 brings many performance improvements and memory footprint reductions. Due to a new liblzma, delta ISOs from M2 to M3 must be applied using a new version of deltarpm. Stephan Kulow provides this in his home:coolo Build Service project. We look forward to your bug reports and test experiences. Automated testing and the openSUSE Factory team have been active to ensure that your download of M3 will be at least minimally functional. The next milestone is scheduled for November 25. openSUSE 11.4 is planned to be released in March 2011. -- Will Stephenson, KDE Developer, openSUSE Boosters Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - Nürnberg - AG Nürnberg - HRB 16746 - GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] Invitation to join Election Officials Team
by Bryen M. Yunashko 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

"Run...or Help Run" First, the Help Run.... Election season in the openSUSE Project is just around the corner. And this means the firsts step is to organize the Election Officials committee. The openSUSE Board is inviting members to submit their name to join the Election Officials committee: Who may join?: * Members of the openSUSE Project How and When?: * Send an email to board at openSUSE dot org, with the subject line: “Election Officials Committee”. Deadline to apply for the committee is November 16. The Board will review and determine the formation of the committee by November 19. We would like to see at least one past Election Official participate for consistency. Duties: * Review current election rules * Coordinate and implement election procedures * Establish relevant dates for the election process. * Report final decisions of the process to the Board * Coordinate with the Membership Officials team to ensure all membership applicants are eligible to vote prior to voting date. * Announce publicly and widely the dates and call for candidacies. * Monitor and certify election results. And now the “Run” part.... 2011 will be an important year for the openSUSE Project and the openSUSE Board will be guiding into a number of significant initiatives including the openSUSE Foundation, finalization of the openSUSE Strategy, and ongoing reviews of openSUSE governance. As such, we want you all to consider the possibility of running for openSUSE Board. While we obviously don't have exact dates for when candidacy is beginning, (That's up to the Election Officials) it is never too early for you to start thinking about it. If you've thought about it and aren't sure yet, just remember the words of fellow Board Member, Henne Vogelsang... “Just do it!” There will be two spots open for the election this year. So give this some thought. Either run for Board or help run the Board elections. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Build Service 2.1 Release
by Andreas Jaeger 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

The openSUSE Build Service - OBS - is now officially at release 2.1. We're delighted with the improvements in this release, including an enhanced web interface, integration with online code management systems and better access controls. OBS 2.1 Introduces New Features =========================== Enhanced web user interface This iteration has enhanced the web user interface of openSUSE Build Service with features that were previously only in the osc command line client. It now allows submitting of packages to other projects, showing a history of changes and who did them, with associated comments. This means that the full work flow needed to build packages, contribute them to projects and collaborate on them is available from the web interface. Integration with online source code management tools Users of the Build Service may now access a new concept called 'source services'. Source services allow, for example, the automatic checkout of source code for a package from a remote server via Git or Subversion, building a tar ball from these checked out sources, and using them for building a package. It also enables direct download of tar balls from remote sites. This allows packagers to work with external sources without downloading them to their own workstations, and makes it easy to rebuild packages after upstream changes with a single click. Better access controls The access controls have been enhanced so that read/write access to a project can be granted on an individual basis. This allows for tighter control of work flows where needed. You can for example ensure people don't have access to security updates while they are being tested. Using OBS ========= To use the Open Source Build Service, you can access the public instance on build.opensuse.org or install it on your own hardware to have a private Build Service. For local installations you can install from source, or use the ready-to-run appliance image, either directly or in a virtual machine. You can also obtain an installation image to install an openSUSE 11.3 system with the Build Service pre-installed. For details check http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_installations For more information about the Build Service, check http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Build_Service. Thanks ====== This release of the OBS has received many contributions from other companies, community members and foundations, making this release a truly collaborative product. We would like to thank everyone who helped make the openSUSE Build Service 2.1 possible! Special thanks go to Martin Mohring and the OBS team at The Linux Foundation, who contributed the extended access handling. About the Build Service ================== The Build Service is an open package and distribution development platform providing a transparent infrastructure for developers to build packages for a variety of Linux distributions and hardware architectures. build.opensuse.org is a freely available service and can build packages for the most popular distributions besides openSUSE including SUSE Linux Enterprise, Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu. The Build Service aims to significantly reduce the costs and risks related to the distribution of applications, from building, providing and maintaining them. It does so by providing a convenient web and command-line interface, which developers can use to upload their code and build instructions. The Build Service will then create a clean, virtualized operating system, install any required build dependencies and create the package. This process will be repeated for each supported operating system. Once the build is finished, all packages will be made available in a set of repositories for easy distribution. The Build Service at build.opensuse.org currently builds about 100,000 packages from 25,000 users working on 15,000 different projects. Communities and companies using their own Build Service installation include the MeeGo Project, VLC team, Dell, Cray and many others.

by Marcus Meissner 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Dear openSUSE users, SUSE Security announces that the SUSE Security Team will stop releasing updates for openSUSE 11.1 soon. Having provided security-relevant fixes for the last two years, we will stop releasing updates after December 31st 2010.

The 11.1 directory in the update tree /update/11.1 will follow, as soon as all updates have been published. Also the openSUSE buildservice repositories building openSUSE 11.1 will be removed. The discontinuation of openSUSE 11.1 enables us to focus on the openSUSE distributions of a newer release dates to ensure that our users can continuously take advantage of the quality that they are used to with openSUSE products. This announcement holds true for openSUSE 11.1 only. As usual, the openSUSE project will continue to provide update packages for the following products: openSUSE 11.2 (supported until approximately May 12th 2011) openSUSE 11.3 (supported until approximately Jan 15th 2012) openSUSE 11.4 (currently in development, to be released in March 2011) for the next two openSUSE releases plus two months overlap period.

[opensuse-announce] Announcing Smeegol 1.0 - MeeGo with a twist of Geeko
by Andrew Wafaa 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

The openSUSE Goblin Team[0] are pleased to announce the first public release of Smeegol. Smeegol is based on the netbook user interface that came from the MeeGo(TM)*[1] project. Smeegol offers the latest Banshee’s powerful music player, a newer Evolution Express as mail and agenda client and several additional social networks. The MeeGo project, a collaborative effort by Nokia, Intel and a quickly growing community of volunteers under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, aims to create an operating system designed for small-formfactor devices with limited computing power and screen estate. Think about platforms such as netbooks/entry-level desktops, handheld computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, connected TVs, and media phones. Novell is a part of the MeeGo effort, working with the Linux Foundation on their build infrastructure[2] and official MeeGo products. MeeGo is using increasingly more openSUSE technology, including zypper and other system management tools. Smeegol is an openSUSE volunteer effort by the Goblin Team to create an openSUSE interpretation of the MeeGo(TM)* user experience, offering the compelling advantages of the openSUSE infrastructure. Users are able to pull from the full openSUSE ecosystem for applications, using repositories on the Build Service and other 3rd party repositories. Moreover, thanks to SUSE Studio[3] anyone can now easily create a customized Smeegol based OS from a convenient webinterface! On SUSE Gallery you can find an appliance (Featured Appliance this week) ready to be cloned for customization. Finally, openSUSE users can easily install Smeegol using the openSUSE one click install technology. Key features Smeegol 1.0 has some unique features to both stock openSUSE & MeeGo(TM)*: Media playback is provided by the latest offering from the latest Banshee Project[4], version 1.8.0. This provides users with the ability to purchase music directly from within the application using Amazon’s MP3 store. The Miro Guide is also available out of the box so you can hunt for the perfect podcast. Besides the latest version of Banshee, we also provide the Community Extensions[5]. These add additional functionality should you desire, like sharing music with friends over IM using Telepathy, stream music from Magnatune, discover internet radio stations with LiveRadio and a nice shuffle-by-similar and fill-by-similar modes, based on your songs’ acoustic similarity using Mirage. A full range of social network support including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Flickr and Digg. Network connectivity using NetworkManager. Choice of web browsers – both FireFox and Chromium are supplied (you can install others if you wish) Choice on how to handle your PIM data – using a single application (full Evolution) or compartmentalise it using Evolution Express Getting It You can get a live Smeegol system for 32 and 64 bit systems[6]. Both images are hybrid iso, so you can burn it onto any removable media – disc or disk. openSUSE users can install Smeegol by clicking[7]. Find a SUSE Studio image, ready to be cloned and customized, on SUSE Studio image on the SUSE Gallery here[8]. Joining In The Fun The Goblin team comprises several openSUSE community members, and they’re a friendly bunch always on the look out for help. So why not jump on board and join us on IRC – #opensuse-moblin on Freenode; or join on the mailing list – opensuse-goblin(a)opensuse.org (pretty low traffic). Currently Smeegol is not part of the upcoming openSUSE release (Factory) and we can certainly use a hand in getting it in there. Bugs, Issues, Enhancements As this is a first release there are potentially gremlins that try and ruin your fun. Firstly sorry if you encounter any, but please file a bug[9]. If you have a feature you would like please file a request in openFate[10]. Consider helping out with the solution, we’re very much open for help! For other issues, e-mail us and we’ll point you in the right direction. Notice that unfortunately Smeegol does not play well in a virtualized environment (hence a broken SUSE Studio Testdrive). Thanks There are many people to thank for helping us realise this milestone. This has been a true community effort, with help from upstream Banshee and MeeGo(TM)*, and also from the many teams within openSUSE including the GNOME, KDE and LXDE teams. A big thank you to all of you. *MeeGo is a trademark of the Linux Foundation[11]. Please note that the Smeegol effort is an independent community project and not part of the Novell and Linux Foundation efforts. 0=http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Goblin 1=http://www.meego.com/ 2=http://wiki.meego.com/Build_Infrastructure 3=http://susestudio.com/ 4=http://banshee.fm/ 5=http://banshee.fm/download/extensions/ 6=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Meego:/Netbook/images/iso 7=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Meego:/Netbook/openSUSE_11.3/Go… 8=http://susegallery.com/a/FbDcLt/smeegol 9=https://bugzilla.novell.com/enter_bug.cgi?classification=7340&product=ope… 10=https://features.opensuse.org/ 11=http://www.linuxfoundation.org/ -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin.
