openSUSE celebrates XMas
by Klaas Freitag 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hi, I am still very excited about the little public release party we had last week. Following the slogan "From the Local to the Global" I like to suggest that we do another event called "openSUSE celebrates XMas" - target date december 16th where all boosters are in Nuremberg. We invite people from Nueremberg and give talks, answer questions etc. Ideas: - We care for very good _local_ press coverage to invite people - We seek out for stakeholders like teachers on various levels or LUGs in the area. - We provide a schedule with a 20 Minute talk every hour beforehand to be printed in the newspaper, event databases like Plärrer etc. - The talks are _really_ basic like * Free software, free culture, free content * What's the real difference between Windows and Linux? * GNOME for users * KDE for users * How can I do - Multimedia Stuff - Office - Communication like Skype, ICQ with Linux * Development - what is supported? * your idea here. - Givaways: CDs, maybe any kind of X-Mas-Present? - Food/Beverages: The project is the interesting thing, thus low level like some Lebkuchen and Glühwein What do you think? Ideas, suggestions? Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Boosters-Team Sprint Results
by Egbert Eich 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

The boosters team has completed its last sprint, here is a short summary of the results and accomplishments. * Integrate all infrastructure under one Umbrella driven by Klaas, Robert, Darix, Michal, Pavol. The group has looked at some Rails engines - it looks like some workable possibilities were found. Also the team has worked on a theme and widget sets for Rails. * Discoverable centralized documentation driven by Lubos, Henne, Petr, Egbert. This project has evolved into a project to restructure the entire Wiki. Almost everything is ready for new Wiki: The plan as discussed on the ML openSUSE-wiki is to 'start from scratch' ie. set up a new Wiki instance and populate it with content adhering to the proposed structure from the outset and to establish some QA to make sure contributions follow this structure. The team is waiting for a response from the admin who is responsible to set up the new instance. The question arose what to do with the language Wikis as many of them are very stale and outdated. The idea is to probably remove the ones which are stale. The plan for the next sprint is to set up the name space and do work on the templates. * factory.opensuse.org - web-site visualizing Factory status driven by Tom, Vincent, Will, Coolo. The team has set up a test instance with real data to throw around some ideas. The API to calculate the data is in place, the attribute store is still missing. Since pieces are still missing there is nothing to show. The plan for the next sprint is to start tying pieces together. Have a nice weekend!

LinuxAlt 2009 Overview
by Michal Hrusecky 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi, sending report from LinuxAlt conference we were attending with Pavol. openSUSE 11.2 DVDs ================== We were giving out openSUSE 11.2 promo DVDs to the people attending conference. GoldMaster was created at Friday and we were burning DVDs during night and during conference and printing out covers to have something really fresh to give to the people. And we weren't burning new DVDs fast enough as people were really interested. We came with 30 pre-burnt DVDs and they were out in no time and the rest had to wait till we burn some more. In the end 50 people was lucky enough and received shiny new openSUSE 11.2 directly from the oven. Liberix ======= Other thing I want to mention is meeting with Vlastimil Ott, representative of Liberix, which is a Czech non-profit organization promoting Linux and Open Source in general. We talked with him about what they need, how can we help them and what we can offer. And I'm really looking forward to our future cooperation in promoting Linux. One of the interesting topics we spoke about was for example giving some lectures on schools. He told us that they receive quite some offers what they can do for people to promote Linux, but sometimes they just don't have enough people. Other ===== We spoke also to quite a lot of other people, we received really valuable feedback from community and from the people working on other distributions as well. Some other ideas will probably follow. -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz
