hi there,

wondering why there arent any 11.1 rtm orders available in any of those suse shops that are linked from within the wiki.

whats happening? We will offer a retail box for openSUSE 11.1 again. We wanted to have a pre-order campaign with shop.novell and suseshop.de last week already but this got somehow delayed. This campaign should be up and running asap.

Best Michael

btw: related question: does it still make sense to offer/buy a retail version of opensuse? what would be the best way to allow suse/novell to profit from opensuse developments and how would the funds from the enduser customers do the most good? i have been buying retail packages of opensuse for many years now, but maybe this method doesnt make any sense.

is there any donation possibility for the opensuse projects or any other means? i would like to see the funds directly benefiting rather than wasting money for all those re-/e-/tailers, packaging, printing mostly useless manuals and manufacturing media down the production chain.

should i rather donate directly to the opensource groups that come with todays suse distributions or something?

any suggestions? cheers.

p.s. german amazon seems to feature some 11.1 stuff after all. but not the official opensuse shop nor the novell shops.
