[opensuse-marketing] 11.3 launch party
by jdd 03 May '10

03 May '10

Do you know if stickers or similar things will be available fir the lauch partys for 11.3? We can easily burn some cds or dvds, but the stickers are more difficult to print (Mandriva Have lot of them, but I don't want to advetise others, do you?) More generally is there something special for this 11.3 coming soon (and for example, where is the count down?) thanks jdd (ambassador :-) -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-support-the-Linux-Documentation-Project/372… http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-fan-page-of-Claire-Dodin/106485119372062?… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE 11.3 Milestone 6: The Dust Begins to Settle
by James Mason 03 May '10

03 May '10

http://news.opensuse.org/2010/05/03/opensuse-11-3-milestone-6-the-dust-begi… ----- Milestone 6 (of 7), a snapshot of the Factory “work in progress” build, leading up to openSUSE 11.3 release in July, is now available for download.

(Bug #596481) * Thinkpad scroll wheel emulation has been repaired. (Bug #597214) Installation * X11 server properly handles language preference specified in grub.

(Bug #537859) * “Boot From Hard Disk” option on the DVD boot menu has been repaired. (Bug #597167) * perl-bootloader hdd detection has been altered to match the behavior of libstorage, resolving issues with incorrect grub configuration when installing to a drive other than the first detected (hd0,1).

(Bug #585432) * open-vm-tools are installed on LiveCDs to enable VMWare drivers. (Bug #591085) * Typos in start-ttys.conf (from upstart) were fixed.

(Bug #574650) Party (Planning) Time Now is a great time to start organizing 11.3 release parties; there’s no better way to enjoy the new release than with your fellow openSUSE users! If you, your LUG or openSUSE User Group are hosting one, go ahead and add it to this list at http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_11.3_Launch_Party_Locations Testing! Testing! Testing! As this is a milestone and not a final release, 11.3 M6 does contain bugs both known and unknown, but should not stand between courageous contributors and release testing. The following annoyances have already been reported: * gconf2-branding-openSUSE isn’t installed by default, which causes no default settings (e.g. Sonar theme isn’t used by default, two panels instead one-panel arrangement, etc…). Workaround: install gconf2-branding-openSUSE package. * nouveau video driver for Nvidia hardware has some issues detecting monitors via DDC. Bug #596740 – workaround: use nomodeset and configure monitor manually. * KDE System Monitor crashes when killing a process Bug #597156 * A number of issues have been encountered using KMS with Intel/nouveau/radeon drivers and specific hardware configurations. Workaround: use nomodeset boot flag to disable KMS. 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! ----- - James Mason 'bear454' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Creating New Flavours for openSuse
by Manu Gupta 03 May '10

03 May '10

I have this idea in mind which is just a clone of fedora spin project(http://spins.fedoraproject.org/) . I think we can implement a similar idea for openSuse and create new flavours for openSuse and put it on the web site and torrents.. Give your views regarding it -- Regards MANU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] When is openSUSE's birthday ?
by Shayon Mukherjee 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hello, I know some of you would find this funny , but I was wondering when is openSUSE's birthday ? As I believe we can actually make this day (the birth date) a very special day in marketing the product in terms of - making public appearance , organize an event and provide talks and so on . If the the day is not somewhere around , then I would like to see the 12.0 release and openSUSE birthday on the same day (if feasible) .So that we get chance to party double and have a Mega-Event . . . This is just a thought from an empty vessel , so give a thought to it ;) PS :If you Birthday as not a suitable word , then Anniversary ? (or not) -- Regards SJ(Shayon) openSUSE http://en.opensuse.org/User:wwarlock Twitter:ShayonM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
