We are seeking proposals for lectures (german). Interested speakers are
invited to submit their proposals until Sep. 23rd.

We are also interested in an openSUSE both.
Ambassadors who want to contribute, please contact papers(a)linuxday.at!
If none of the german speaking Ambassador finds the time to come to
Dornbirn, which unfortunately happend last year, we would at least like

Hi to all
I was invited as ambassador openSUSE to the Quiliano"Software Freedom
Day", (SV, Italy).
The event, as per the international calendar, to be held on September 15.
In fact, it is an excellent opportunity to present openSUSE 12.2.
I realize that the promoDVD of openSUSE 12.2 would not be avaible, and
in the form of request for promoDVD have indicated an amount of 0.
However, I requested in the request other marketing materials (such as
T-shirts, hats, posters, stickers, etc.), which will be very, very
useful.
I've already started writing the event wiki page.

Currently it is only a draft, but get better in the coming days.
Bye

Hi,
I'm currently investigating whether and how openSUSE is used in
larger deployments. Does anyone know someone who manages like let's
say 30 or more openSUSE machines at once? I'm interested in e.g.
what tools are used in such a scenario and what rough edges in the
distro we maybe have that could be improved.

So for that I guess you have to log into each machine and run and watch
zypper dup manually?

Yeah :-)

Indeed. With systemd it should even be possible to automatically
determine the service for each pid. Maybe worth filing a feature
request.

Hi,
we are running a computer pool for students with 48 machines on openSUSE
12.1. Ususally we try to install "almost everything" except software that
is really annoying when $HOME is on NFS (e.g. beagle in former times).
In older times we used autoyast to install a new version of openSUSE. But
autoyast is just taking too long to install such a long list of software,
and when you forget about a small thing, the turnaround time with such a
big number of packages to install is too long. So we switched to autoyast
and images (tar.gz method) for new machines (or new harddisks) and zypper
dup for upgrading on working machines to new releases. These upgrades take
place in the break between semesters.
zypper dup usually works great. But somehow from 11.4 to 12.1 the
update-alternative files for java were messed up resulting in a
non-working java plugin for browsers. Found out by accident last week.
Since our university uses Novell iprint for charging the students for
printouts, we had to find out, that cups 1.5 does not work with iprint
client. And so we had to build cups 1.4 for openSUSE 12.1.
Printing seems to be one of the most complicated problems in universe ;)
Students love n-up printing to save money. But somehow this seems to
confuse printers from all kinds of different manufacturers (HP, Lexmark,
Sharp). There is also no clear statement how to do it right, because for
some PDFs you better use n-up printing from acroread and for others you
can only use okular and cups n-up printing. Failure of printing "the right
way" (TM) will result in hanging or resetting the printer.
Since the machines are administered by central root, we disable
NetworkManager, Update Notifications, and so on. Bad thing is, this
changes from release to release, and we have to consider all desktop
flavours (KDE, Gnome, LXDE, ...).
For updates we use the automatic online update. Problem here was:
SuSEconfig is not run. But this problem decreases, since SuSEconfig does
less from release to release.
Another thing I'm not quite sure about is: when e.g. openssl library is
updated, a lot of services are affected (zypper ps can tell you), but the
services are not restarted automatically. Since our machine run rather
long (until next kernel update or crash or power plug pulled) they only
get restarted when we do a zypper ps manually and either restart services
manually or reboot. Well this should not be necessary, but I'd feel better
if zypper ps shows nothing.
To change the configuration on all machines, we usually copy the
configuration file(s) to all machines and restart the service. We have
scripts using SSH with authorized_keys for that. Problem is, if a machine
is not online, it does not get the change and one must remember to change
it, when the machine comes back. If there is a better solution, please let
me know.
Wow, that was log. I didn't intend a such long post ;-)

Hi guys
I think I currently missing some organizational discussions for those
two biggest openSUSE events this year. Is there any special mailing list
for the organization or is just everything done already?
With kind regards,
Lars
