Feature added by: Roger Luedecke (Shadowolf7) Feature #312364, revision 1 Title: Qualcomm Gobi Wizard, making mobile broadband simple. openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: My HP un2400 Gobi device is supported and should work. Whether it is due to USB mode switching or that the gobi_loader does not work correctly I do not know. There should be a simple wizard like that which ships under Windows (VZW connection manager) to allow me and other users in the same situation to easily make us of the Mobile Broadband we pay for. This is the final thing keeping me from wiping Windows off my netbook entirely. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Use of Mobile Broadband is not likely to decline, but rather increase with the proliferation of affordable increasingly powerful Netbooks. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312364

Feature added by: Brian Sherson (shersonb) Feature #312690, revision 1 Title: YaST Software Management -- Install from cache openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Brian Sherson (shersonb) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Since Software Management allows users the option to save downloaded packages, it would be nice to also give the option of installing a saved RPM.

If the user decides revert to the previous version that was saved from before, it may be convenient to select the old version from Software Management, provided the package exists in the cache. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312690

[New: openFATE 309007] Add more scientific packages

Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #309007, revision 1 Title: Add more scientific packages Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Right now, openSUSE have quite few "scientific packages". We have freemat on Education, xmgrace ... and a few more. But, for example, octave is only on Packman and SciDAVis is nowhere (for 11.2 at least). There are no packages for Scilab either, nor for PAW... Use Case: A physicist (or engineer) working on University that needs a good Linux distro for his/her work. Nowadays, even if openSUSE is more stable and reliable than fedora, the scientist will choose the later because its larger set of scientific packages. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To give openSUSE more presence on universities and research centers at "final user" level. Now openSUSE and its derivatives are found in clusters to run simulations (I've seen some of them) with ad-hoc programs, or in supercomputers, but not in the office computer for the single researcher. With its focus on stability, openSUSE could be the perfect "scy distro" but the few "heavy duty" scientific packages available is against this. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309007
