[opensuse-announce] Please welcome openSUSE 11.3
by Michael Loeffler 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

The openSUSE Project is pleased to announce the release of the latest incarnation of openSUSE, with support for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. openSUSE 11.3 [1] is packed with new features and updates including SpiderOak to sync your files across the Internet for free, Rosegarden for free editing of your audio files, improved indexing with Tracker, and updates to Mozilla Firefox, and Thunderbird. Among these many new features, openSUSE also provides support for netbooks and the Btrfs file system support. Users can expect to see improved hardware support with the 2.6.34 Linux kernel and updated graphics drivers. And support for the next generation of interactive computing for touchscreens like the HP TouchSmart. openSUSE continues its tradition of delivering the popular KDE, GNOME and Xfce desktop environments, and now also provides the lightweight LXDE desktop environment. With GNOME, you can use the latest 2.30.1 version or take your installation for a drive with a preview of the upcoming GNOME 3.0. Or choose KDE SC 4.4.4 for the latest updates. They all feature the polish and integration that the openSUSE distro has been known for. For a full view check the complete collection of screenshots [2] or install it right away [3]. As we expect very large demand for the ISOs we suggest you check out BitTorrent as download method ;-) For servers and development platforms, administrators can take full advantage of the new MariaDB and MySQL Cluster services as well as Conntrack to filter network packets for iptables. Developers will appreciate the plethora of tools available at their fingertips with GCC, GDB and Mono and IDEs such as Netbeans, Qt-Creator and many others. This is all on top of the countless libraries available through the openSUSE Build Service [4] (OBS). Visit our Product Highlights [5] page for a detailed list of new features. The next release will be openSUSE 11.4 in March, 2011. Thank you, and have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-announce] New wiki, what now?
by Henne Vogelsang 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

We just switched to the new wiki. So here it is. And now? Let me explain what you can do to help! ===================== Create your user page ===================== Every user of the wiki has a personal page and we did not transfer any of them. We wanted to use this opportunity to brush them up and standardize them. Your userpage should be your first task in the new wiki. If your username is Geeko, just go to http://en.opensuse.org/User:Geeko and press “create”. After that load the userpage teamplate by pressing on the “Load” button. Then fill out the form and you will get a nice standardized userpage! You can also of course transfer your old userpage. Just go to http://old-en.opensuse.org/User:Geeko to find the content. ==================== Report Missing Pages ==================== Can’t find your page? Think we missed something? Just report the page to the opensuse wiki team! We will try our best to help you getting it back! ====================== Transfer Missing Pages ====================== Want to get your hands dirty? Dive right into the new wiki and learn how it works on the Wiki Portal or the previous posts on this blog. After you did that and know all the new wiki Kung-fu you go and find the pages you think are missing on http://old-en.opensuse.org. Now you have two options, either use the Special:Export page on the old wiki and the Special:Import on the new wiki if you want to transfer the article with all of its history or you just copy and paste the article if the history is not that important. Otherwise Just Keep Calm And Carry On!
