Please send your comments on opensuse-marketing or join michl and myself on freenode IRC channel #opensuse-marketing. Andreas openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7: Preparing for RC Phase Milestone 7, a snapshot of the Factory “work in progress” build, leading up to openSUSE 11.3 release in July, is now available for download. M7 is the second release of the “Stablizing Freeze” and last milestone, the next release will be RC1 on June 17th. openSUSE 11.3 Progress Compared to M6, this milestone brings many bug fixes, an update to Linux kernel 2.6.34 and the integration of translations and new artwork.

That one I do not understand. AFAIK we don't have any KMS capable DRM driver in initrd of installation CD. And for installation we still use the fbdev X driver. Hence this doesn't make sense to me.

Spider Oak provides 2GB of free Cloud storage. You can share files in that storage area with others.. or restrict it to your own private backup/storage. It's actually a really nice app/service... works very well (I've been using it for a while in 11.2)... and integrates into your desktop (eg systray in KDE4) very nicely.

openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7: Preparing for RC Phase
Milestone 7, a snapshot of the Factory “work in progress” build, leading up to openSUSE 11.3 release in July, is now available for download.
M7 is the second release of the “Stablizing Freeze” and last milestone, the next release will be RC1 on June 17th. openSUSE 11.3 Progress
Compared to M6, this milestone brings many bug fixes, an update to Linux kernel 2.6.34 and the integration of translations and new artwork.
We plan to include in openSUSE 11.3 the following highlights:
* Netbook support with both Moblin and KDE
Hasn't the Moblin project renamed to MeeGo? - James Mason, 'bear454'
* Btrfs support in the installer * The zypper package management command line client has seen further improvements: o If a package gets removed, dependencies needed only by this package can get removed as well (option –clean-deps) o Package selection code has been enhanced to support the following syntax for use with in/up/rm commands: [+/-] repo:type:nameOPversion.arch o zypper will notify about updates with vendor change (from different repository) * Nouveau driver for Nvidia graphic cards is integrated * File sharing with SpiderOak * Great desktop experience with GNOME 2.30, KDE 4.4, LXDE 0.5.5, and XFCE 4.6.1. LXDE has been newly integrated and is part of the DVD media. * On demand package installation in KDE, for e.g. debug info packages and missing modules. * Imagewriter tool to copy ISO images to an USB stick * Updated distribution with new upstream packages
Testing! Testing! Testing!
As this is a milestone and not a final release, 11.3 M7 does contain bugs both known and unknown, but should not stand between courageous contributors and release testing.
The following annoyances have already been reported:
* Firefox crashes at start Bug #608087 – workaround: update gtk2 to the new version from the GNOME factory repo * The x86_64 NET Install CD had a garbled screen for an NVidia GeForce Go 7150M graphics adapter. The workaround is to add “brokenmodules=nouv eau” to the Boot Options line.
* LXDM always start default session Bug #607868

I don't know why it happens, but I had the problem and posted that comment to the most annoying bug line. I tried every option under F3 with no success. Even the text install was broken until I listed nouveau as broken.

Well we could always stick with Goblin, or move to Smeegol as suggested by Garrett - SUSE MeeGo Linux Either way as long as we have something we can always improve on it; but to improve on it we need to get more involvement from everyone. I have dropped the ball a couple of times with getting Moblin into Factory but unfortunately my employer tends to dictate where/when I have spare time.

The problem is to find out what packages were changed from Fedora to MeeGo and port these to openSUSE ... Probably a bit harder than Moblin. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The above was probably the first time I mentioned dropbox in anything, and yesterday I then received the first spam from dropbox.
