Hi, I'm wondering if there is a plan for the 11.2 distribution? It's not when it's available but more what Novell want's to achieve with it. There are several important areas that I would like to help out with: 1. vastly reduced size of the core distro and easy setup for addons. Take out all but core KDE (and Gnome, but I'm a KDE'er so....). 2. mobility. Moving between networks, WLAN, LAN, GPRS , Bluetooth ++. Suspend/Resume, auto setup of VPN when moving outise the home LAN. Roaming profile/autosyncing of data with server with Unison , iFolder or similar. 3. syncing data with mobile phones 4. VPN client and server config. If so, choose one VPN server variant and support it 100%. (I like OpenVPN :-) ) 5. Home. Easy home server setup in one Yast module for useability. Fileserver, printer server, music server, movie server, picture server. 6. Connectivity from different types of clients, especially Upnp and DLNA compatibility. Windows, Mac and Linux client access to printer and file of cource and also wizards or simmilar to aid users in getting connected on the client machines. (Yes this might involve windows/mac/openSolaris SW) 7. media syncing with hanheld devices like iPod's, media phones, Creative ZEN. Also conversion of media to the hanhelds preferred format without the user needing to set up a complex structure. 8. officially supported game archive, maybe also with commercial games available like Opera/flash etc. is now available. 9. availability on new platforms. Specific focus on netbooks. 10. Default media made for USB key as well as DVD. 11. a standard yast module for server setup of net install of machines. This will aid in testing when there is a lot of machine variants to test. Easy restore to original config would be good also. (All server based :-) ) I have 15+ different computeres that I can test with , but it's to much work going back and forth now so I just use 2. Of course, if I do not make any sense (which often happens) I will be glad to discuss the points. And again, these are all parts I will gladly assist in testing. If some of it is made in Python I will try to assist with code also, but be warned. It's better to keep me as tester!
