Hi all,
We are nearing the release of openSUSE Leap 42.2 and we encourage everyone reading this email to help promote our newest release, however you want to do that. To help promote it, our marketing team has been brainstorming a few ways to promote it. One of those is to post messages on social media. The social media plan is updated in English at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_launch_plan
Please consider translating it and posting it to your local or region openSUSE pages/profiles as well as to your own personal pages. We also encourage you to come up with your own tweets, posts, etc and just tag #openSUSE.
Additionally, if you are interested in translations contributions, we would certainly welcome contribution to the project. With https://l10n.opensuse.org/, you can easily help translate release notes for 42.2 - https://l10n.opensuse.org/projects/release-notes-opensuse/leap_42_2/. I want to thank our contributors who have already translated the release notes. Also, please consider translating our landing page - https://l10n.opensuse.org/projects/landing-page/master/
There are more than 50 languages offered to translate and the dashboard gives an easy overview of what languages have been translated and those that could use translations.

Could we move away from those version numbers please? Who cares about gcc 4.8.5 or python 3.4.5? Version numbers may be interesting for a rolling distribtion like TW that advertises having always the latest and greatest. That is not what Leap aims for.
So what's really cool about Leap?

+1, we really should NOT talk about version numbers with Leap, it's antithetical to the whole point of the distribution, unlike Tumbleweed where it is a cornerstone of it's offering compared to other distributions (including our own).
So what's really cool about Leap?
A few ideas - It's stability it's shared codebase with SLE it's broader software selection than SLE all the testing (manual and automated) that has been done on it all of the contributions that have been put into it all of the bugs that have been fixed during the development period

Most of those things apply to any version of Leap. It's always nice to remember them on every new version but I would extend (or focus) the question - what's really cool about Leap 42.2?
Maybe compared to the previous release, to other distributions being released in the same time-frame...
Cheers.

Compared to other distros the stuff we take for granted like whatever cool features YaST has is still news.
Compared to 42.2 getting some package counts is easy:
7820 42.1 9133 42.2 9694 Factory 100 dropped 1413 new 771 more_in_factory
Among the 1400 new source packages there must be some candidates worth a story. Like openstack clients or gnuhealth. I also see lots of new games added to 42.2.

Hi Geekos!
Done the spanish version! If someone wants to proofreading and improve the text, always is welcome !
I think that one important thing in this release is the fact that for first time KDE has a LTS version, and will be included in Leap 4.2.
I think that it's important to note to Leap 42.1 users, that they must update their OS within 6 months, but that can be made easily.
I think that it's importat to note that there's many DE to choose in the installation.
Keep on rockin' !!

why you didn't update the wiki with your translations? I think that it's the right way to share your contribution! :)

Hi all,
The first version of the Bulgarian translation is there.
I will read it again after a day, and perhaps make some final adjustments.
Kind regards, Dimitar Zahariev

The YaST reference at 16:30 points to http://lizards.opensuse.org, which is the ever changing opening page of lizards.opensuse.org. Shouldn't it point to the permanent location of only the YaST article, https://lizards.opensuse.org/2016/10/20/highlights-of-yast-development-sprin... ?
#openSUSE Leap 42.2 will have GCC 4.8.5 with the option to install the newer GCC 5. Read about the major features at http://bit.ly/1oODt93
Is the fact that Leap 42.2 has GCC 4.8.5 and 5 really much of a selling point for this release? Personally I don't think that's a particularly interesting reason to learn more about Leap.
#openSUSE Leap 42.2 has 1,413 new packages. 1,313 more packages than 42.1. 100 packages were dropped.
Not sure we really need to mention the details of the dropped packages, plus I think a percentage figure to go along with the new package number would be more effective. Perhaps something like this would work?
"#openSUSE Leap 42.2 brings in a collection of 1,413 brand new packages, 17% more than 42.1."
Choose your desktop environment with #openSUSE Leap. #KDE, #GNOME, #Xfce, #MATE, #Enlightenment or #Cinnamon.
Should we list those that aren't included on the installer (i.e. MATE, Cinnamon)? If so, perhaps we should also include the new LXQt 0.11 release.

We should defiantly list LXQt, regardless of whether they are on the DVD or not all can be installed from the net installer so I think listing them all is fine.

I fully agree to that. That message should be removed. Appstream, GTK and gstreamer are equally uninteresting IMO. What about saying e.g. that we have development environments for a broad range of languages like C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, Go, Haskell, Rust, you name it ...
Also, what about mentioning docker? Is it not cool anymore?

New packages from Tumbleweed actually. +1
