Do you have the release of openQA included? I think it´s at least a short passage worth. --kdl -- -o) Kim Leyendecker /\\ openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

Not? Isn´t 12.1 the first release which is using openQA? a bit confused, --kdl -- -o) Kim Leyendecker /\\ openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

openSUSE 12.1 doesn't use openQA, openQA is a tool like OBS... we as community use it to test it and in that way it will get mentioned somewhere - just like we strive to mention OBS. But unless there are packages for openQA (and OBS) we don't mention them as 'features' of openSUSE 12.1...

a bit confused, --kdl

This release is assembled with OBS and tested with openQA. One sentence to prize both and it belongs in release notes. What I would like to see is who, when, how made it. People worked on it {Release manager, Teams (coders, packagers, documents writers, artists, testers) and all numerous upstream projects. Tools used to build and test.

Yup, that's a good point. We always thank "all contributors" but should mention tools there too. The list of features - that's what we work on on here, help VERY MUCH appreciated as it's not easy and a lot of work: http://ietherpad.com/12-1-release-notes Making a list of people and upstream projects - well, if you think you can do it, please do... It is possible but quite some work.

:) Being specific is fading with distance from project and release manager. Teams will be named as teams with links to their pages, and reader will be pointed to collective list of teams in the wiki, just in case we miss someone. Numerous upstream projects will stay just that, numerous upstream projects. We can try to list web pages of all software included in openSUSE in one or more wiki pages and refer to http://en.opensuse.org/Upstream_projects , which should be relatively easy task to extract from rpm files. Someone with access to all files, please step up. What is needed is: Project name - home page. There is also a category of special thanks to people that did big things, which can be given outside release notes, as series of interviews with prominent guys. I have in mind custom interviews bound to topic, like systemd, Tumbleweed, OBS, Packman, Gnome and other major components. In those interviews they can give attribution to other people involved. There is secondary effect of such interviews, they will keep attention to openSUSE longer then just release days. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

Not disagreeing with anything but I'm extremely busy, so are many others and have a big list of things to do. Unless you can do any of the things above - they won't happen ;-) See our http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Launch_Checklist - feel free to add tasks with your name on them if you think you can do it...

Unfortunately non of our team has time to add information regarding the Samba code which will be part of openSUSE 12.1. It will be verion 3.6.1 as soon as the build team accepts it. http://www.samba.org/samba/news/releases/3.6.0.html provides a nice overview what we already got with the initial 3.6 release. The head of http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.6.1.html provides more details regarding the actual 3.6.1 release. hth Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

sorry to say so, but did you notice the number of applications shipped with openSUSE? The marketting team can take care of the *wording* of the release notes (how it's written), but have no knowledge nor time for the technical content :-(. If you think one feature of your project is worth mentioning, you are better to include it yourself. Sorry, the marketting team is really tiny and busy thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
