[openFATE 306975] Sort list of in windows domain membership

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #306975, revision 1 Title: Sort list of in windows domain membership openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: Currently, in the windows domain membership module, when you try to join a domain you are given the option to enter a username and password and to select the Machine Account Organization Unit from a list. This list is provided in no apparent order. At the very least it is not sorted by the name of the organizational unit. This may be fine if there is only a small number of them, but for a large institution there might be hundreds, maybe even thousands. It takes a lot of time to search through ever single item on the list to find the one you belong to. I think it would be much easier if the list was sorted alphabetically by the name of the organizational unit, ideally the leaf organizational unit if there is a heirarchy since users may not know that higher nodes their organizational unit belonds to. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306975

[openFATE 306473] Support KDE initiative to build a brand together
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Nov '10

Feature added by: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) Feature #306473, revision 1, last change by Title: Support KDE initiative to build a brand together openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) Description: Please carefully read http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/building-brand-together.html Aaron suggests to start combined efforts up- and downstream to create a strong brand for FOSS. Aaron outlines the overall goal: "The desired result is the ability to build a visually identifiable F/OSS desktop brand together , one that fits nicely with your brand as well. This way people can continue to say, "Oh hey, that's $COMPANY $NAME Linux" while giving the human population half a chance to build a relationship with F/OSS itself as a visually identifiable thing.In short: the goal is to increase our net effect in the market by working together." For that, the KDE project is starting to offer a service that helps creating a brand that is fine for both openSUSE and the KDE project. I think we should be an early adoptor here. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306473

[openFATE 307499] Default installation desktop decison criteria
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Feature added by: David Hodgson (jetojedno) Feature #307499, revision 1 Title: Default installation desktop decison criteria openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: David Hodgson (jetojedno) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There has been a lot of discussion about the "correct" default installation desktop of openSuSE, and the default for 11.2 was decided based upon popularity. This criterion is fine, but I think this is not the bext criteria for deciding the default installation desktop. The default desktop primarily affects naive Linux users who are not being guided by an experienced Linux user (assuming the default can be changed during the install). These are the people who are most likely to make a passive decision (go with the default). Experienced Linux users and naive users being guided are going to make an active decision for a familiar, recommended or suitable desktop. I would argue that our primary concern should be ensuring that: 1) existing users of Linux / openSuSE are not forced away by the default, and; 2) naive users of Linux should find the transition to Linux as easy as possible. The best criteria for the default installation desktop for naive users is the ease-of-use of the desktop environment (DE), part of which is the desktop's similarity in look-and-feel to Windows. Most naive users will be familiar with Windows and will expect things in Linux to found in the same places and behave in much the same fashion. Part of this similarity is the functionality - are all of the expected components of Windows available and working reliably in the chosen DE? If the quality of support for the leading DEs is maintained than the decision about a default should not force away existing experienced Linux users. I think it unlikely that a decision about the DE default is going to attract experienced Linux users, unless it is projected as a prejudice in the marketing materials. I propose that openSuSE decides the default desktop based upon the DE's ease-of-use for naive Linux users and that the project collects through surveys and other means the information necessary to make this decision objectively. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We should make this change to maximise the user base for openSuSE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307499
