Hello, as I wrote some time ago in response to the announcement that issue #65 is ready for transaltion, under "Status Updates", "Wiki / Communication / Events", is a one year old blog entry from Klaus Kämpf, who wrote about the Open Source Meets Business Conference, but not 2009 but 2008. ;-) Best greetings Buschmann ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- openSUSE Member - de.opensuse.org Sys-Op http://en.opensuse.org/User:Buschmann23 http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Participate http://en.opensuse.org/Geeko_wants_you!

Stephen, As Pavol Rusnak mentioned earlier, all of Eucalyptus' target distros are handled by the Build Service. Surely we should be trying to convince them to use our service and enlightening them that by doing so enables them to have maximum reach with minimal effort.

You might wonder why the crap Novell hasn't gotten on top of this, they have! :) Unfortunately, from what I understand is that the version of xen we use is too new to work on ec2. So this is of no fault of Novell, but the systems and versions that amazon is using :( Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
