Hi Team!
As you know, the openSUSE Board got together in Nuremberg to discuss
the general strategy plans for openSUSE for the long-term future.
While there in Nuremberg for one extra day, some of us who are part of
the Marketing Team got together for additional discussions around
moving Marketing Team forward.
Those present were: Myself, AJ, Jan Weber, Michael Loeffler and Will Stephenson.
Here our our thoughts:
Our first thought is that we have many things to do, but too few human
resources to implement things out effectively for short therm
campaigns. As a result, it becomes harder for contributors to figure
out how and where to contribute where they feel most comfortable.
Our second thought is looking at ways to go beyond just focusing on
marketing campaigns for imeediate releases. We want to find ways to
help communicate what openSUSE is all about and even help to dispel
some of the misconceptions that exist about openSUSE in the world.
And our third thought is to focus on how we can develop the skills of
our existing team membes to be able to more broadly handle marketing
tasks as well as how best to attract new talent to the marketing team.
We recognize that many people have good specialties within Marketing
but we want to empower our team members to be able to broaden their
marketing skills and identify what areas they can personally
strengthen.
And finally, we agree that one major problem that exists now is that
we are all taking on too many tasks. This leads to burn-out and poor
quality of work. So, we wish to limit volunteers to 2-3 tasks as
personal priorities before they can take on additional tasks upon
completion.

Marketing Gurus,
I have worked on on the conference pages [1] and [2] and would ask
you to quickly look over these again and approve ;-)
Furthermore, below you find my proposal for a news.o.o entry that
announces the conference in general and the cfp in particular.
Please also check that and let me know what has to be changed.
We agreed that we want to announce this week, so time is pressing.
It would be cool to have your comments and approval within the
next few hours so that we can issue it tonight. Or is it better
to not do it so short before weekend?
Thanks,
Klaas

openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 7: Preparing for RC Phase
Milestone 7, a snapshot of the Factory “work in progress” build, leading up to
openSUSE 11.3 release in July, is now available for download.
M7 is the second release of the “Stablizing Freeze” and last milestone, the
next release will be RC1 on June 17th.
openSUSE 11.3 Progress
Compared to M6, this milestone brings many bug fixes, an update to Linux
kernel 2.6.34 and the integration of translations and new artwork.
We plan to include in openSUSE 11.3 the following highlights:
* Netbook support with both Moblin and KDE
* Btrfs support in the installer
* The zypper package management command line client has seen further
improvements:
o If a package gets removed, dependencies needed only by this
package can get removed as well (option –clean-deps)
o Package selection code has been enhanced to support the following
syntax for use with in/up/rm commands: [+/-]repo:type:nameOPversion.arch
o zypper will notify about updates with vendor change (from
different repository)
* Nouveau driver for Nvidia graphic cards is integrated
* File sharing with SpiderOak
* Great desktop experience with GNOME 2.30, KDE 4.4, LXDE 0.5.5, and XFCE
4.6.1. LXDE has been newly integrated and is part of the DVD media.
* On demand package installation in KDE, for e.g. debug info packages and
missing modules.
* Imagewriter tool to copy ISO images to an USB stick
* Updated distribution with new upstream packages
Testing! Testing! Testing!
As this is a milestone and not a final release, 11.3 M7 does contain bugs both
known and unknown, but should not stand between courageous contributors and
release testing.
The following annoyances have already been reported:
* Firefox crashes at start Bug #608087 – workaround: update gtk2 to the
new version from the GNOME factory repo
* The x86_64 NET Install CD had a garbled screen for an NVidia GeForce Go
7150M graphics adapter. The workaround is to add “brokenmodules=nouveau” to
the Boot Options line.
* LXDM always start default session Bug #607868
Please see
http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.3_dev#openSUSE_11.3_Miles…
for the current list.
What are you waiting for? Grab the milestone release from
http://software.opensuse.org/developer today!
