Feature added by: jimbo bigcreed (Dimble_ThriceFoon) Feature #310778, revision 1 Title: Project Bretzn app-store to be integrated into opensuse 11.4 openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: jimbo bigcreed (dimble_thricefoon) Description: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/10/26/from-the-developer-to-the-user-and-back-... Purpose: 1) Make it easy for developers to release an application 2) Make it easy for developers to market and for users to learn about that application 3) Make it easy for users to install the application Project Bretzn consists of three parts: the building of the package, the publishing of the application, the marketing to the users and the feedback cycle back to the developer. The building part consists of plugins for IDE’s and integration with Build Services and using Lubos Lunak’s OBS Generator (http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4177) (yes, still looking for a new name (http://michal.hrusecky.net/index.php/blog/show/kde-obs-generator-is-looking-...) ) to automatically generate cross-platform build files. Publishing sends the app to a variety of App Stores and then markets it through announcing it on Facebook, Twitter, via a RSS feed and the Social Desktop (http://socialdesktop.org/) . Finally, users can provide feedback by rating the application and commenting on it, by writing bug reports and send messages to mailing lists or forums. And all of that with one click (well, maybe a few more). Status: Over 70% of the work is done already and the team is aiming to ship in December. They are working with other openSUSE developers to make a proof-of-concept App Store for openSUSE using OBS and the other integration which will hopefully ship in the upcoming openSUSE 11.4 release. This sounds like the kind of thing we want! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310778
