[opensuse-gnome] desktop sneak peek
Hey all, For the release it would be great to write a desktop sneak peek. Something that gives an idea of what's new in GNOME and KDE and XFCE etc. I can write the KDE part but I spend a lot of time last time on the GNOME one and it still wasn't very good, so I think somebody else should write that part. See https://news.opensuse.org/2013/03/06/sneak-preview-i-opensuse-12-3-for-deskt... as it was last release. The idea is to not just write about what's new but try to give some 'pro' tips and tricks, that's the part people like most. So it should be done by a GNOME user, ideally one who follows upstream news a bit. Who can and wants to help with this? /J

Come on, nobody who wants to give GNOME a bit of attention in this release? You guys upgraded from 3.6 to 3.10... That should be a big deal, yes? /J

Possibly [anyway 12.3 is GNOME 3.8, at least if you are using dimstar's awesome repos]. I haven't installed the latest RC yet. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA

DimStar's 3.10+ packages are awesome too. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Please, let's call the whole thing 'GNOME Team' efforts. I'm by far not the only one working on those packages. There is a whole army bringing you all this experience.

There won't be any backport effort to make GNOME 3.10 work on openSUSE 12.3... openSUSE 13.1 is coming out in a couple days and will have 3.10.1 included. Backporting to 12.3 is non-trivial due to various underlying changes, like bluez5 dependencies (which triggers full PulseAudio updates and surely breaks any eventual installed KDE install on 12.3).
