by Javier Llorente 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hello there, It’s my pleasure to announce the next KDE Bug triage :-) It will begin next Friday (13th) and end on Monday (16th). The aim of this bug triage is to help make KDE a bit better. You don’t need to have any special skills. The most important thing is that you’re interested in helping us to clean the bug list so developers can focus on fixing the bugs! So, let’s squash bugs together! Join us in the #opensuse-kde IRC channel on Freenode :-) For more info on bug squashing KDE, take a look at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_Squashing_KDE To see a list of open bugs go here (automatically generated). http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_Squashing_KDE_bugreports Happy KDE bug squashing! -- Javier Llorente

[opensuse-announce] The openSUSE Project welcomes Jos Poortvliet as new Community Manager
by Andreas Jaeger 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

We’re proud to announce today that Jos Poortvliet will join the openSUSE project and Novell as openSUSE Community Manager starting on August 1. With Jos we’ve found a leader with excellent community building experience combined with a very welcoming nature, many fresh, promising ideas and a strong drive to grow the openSUSE Project. Jos holds a degree in Organisational Psychology from the University of Utrecht and has gained valuable experience in several professional roles ranging from Project Manager at KPN to Service Level Manager at Royal Bank of Scotland. Last but not least, Jos is a leading member of the KDE Marketing Team and has helped Akademy and the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit attract a vibrant and collaborative audience. Jos commented, “The opportunity to become part of the international openSUSE community is very exciting. There are a great number of interesting developments going on in the free software world, and openSUSE plays a major role in many of them. I look forward to working with the community on these, helping it grow, finding new directions and ways of developing, and delivering its innovative technologies to users and developers around the world.” We enthusiastically welcome Jos and look forward to his working with the openSUSE community to shape the future of the openSUSE project. After his start he will be deeply involved in the openSUSE conference, other community events and activities, and of course he will have the pleasure of promoting openSUSE wherever possible.
