[opensuse-marketing] Giving up the Weekly News chair
by Sascha Manns 30 Dec '11

30 Dec '11

Hello mates, Since a few years I'm holding the chair of the openSUSE Weekly News Team, and it was a very interesting time. Also i've worked with a great team. Sadly i must announce, that i give up my chair to the End of this year. My work for open-slx will be extended in the next year, and so i have'nt enough time to contribute the Weekly News again. So we are searching a new chairman for this Subproject. One of the first things to decide are the following: * Should we produce again in Docbook/XML or * Should we publish in the old way (Wiki). If this point is clear we have to create a stragedy, how to work with the other teammates? Use Wiki to collecting and publishing? And so on. Also it is important to know, that the fact (find a new chairman or not) will have a depency to the Continue the whole Subproject. cu Sascha -- Sincerly yours Sascha Manns Community &Support Agent open-slx GmbH http://www.open-slx.de (Business) http://saigkill.homelinux.net (Private) This mail is written with Balsam Professional 12.1

[opensuse-marketing] Desura gaming platform to go opensource with GPL
by Roger Luedecke 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

www.desura.com They are considering going open source with their client, and it looks extremely likely they will. This could be an opportunity to push OBS and if we act fast we could take advantage of being the first distro to offer it in a repo in RPM format. Maybe some useful code too. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.
