All,
I've just installed openSuSE on my system. I found out that radeonhd
driver is very slow with my HD4650 card. I've used this card before with
openSuSE 11.0 and the fglrx driver this was much faster.
Resolution 1900*1200 processor sempron 2500+ 1.4 GHz.
openSuSE 11.1 radeonhd 120 fps
openSuSE 11.0 fglrx 600 fps
The fglrx repository doesn't exist for openSuSE 11.1 yet.
Regards,
Joop Boonen.

This is an extension of a tread I started over on the openSUSE user list.
When 11.0 was released, the openSUSE servers staggered a bit under the
load of so many people hammering away trying to either grab the
torrent files or download via ftp. The result was that a large number
of us (myself included) waited several days before we were even able
to get near the website so that we could download the torrent files
and get started with downloading/seeding.
So, my proposal is.... pre-release the Torrent files.
Pre-release ONLY the Torrent files so that those of us who will be
Torrenting openSUSE 11.1 can set up our Torrent clients and be ready
to go when 11.1 is released and the Torrent tracker is switched "on".
The advantage is that we will not need to join the queue waiting for
the website to respond, and we will be able to start helping with
distributing this release immediately.
Thoughts? Comments? Is this possible? Reasonable?
C.

Community,
this is a call for volunteers. Thanks to your awesome help, the
openSUSE Weekly Newsletter Team currently provides the Weekly News in
9 languages (including English) to the openSUSE community. To be able
to further enhance the quality of our current offering, the openSUSE
Weekly Newsletter Team always welcomes contributors. What we
especially need:
1. We did an investigation last week and we are looking for Italian,
French and Chinese translators. These three languages with a
significant user percentage of openSUSE installations are not
supported by the Weekly Newsletter yet.
2. To strengthen our current translation teams we are always looking
for translators for currently supported languages, namely German,
Indonesian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and
Swedish.
3. As you hopefully already noticed we provide a dedicated openSUSE
Forums section with hot topics and asserted threads as of the Weekly
News issue #49 to the openSUSE community. This is an area, where we
are also in desperate need of contributors - this is especially
interesting for community members highly involved in the forums
already.
If you are interested to participate in one of these areas, you are
very welcome to join the team. Please contact either Jan-Simon Möller
- jansimon.moeller/at/opensuse.org or Rupert Horstkötter -
rhorstkoetter/at/opensuse.org for further information.
Any help is much appreciated and we are looking forward to your responses.
Best,
Rupert

Intel Atom On Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuSE, Mandriva
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_atom_four&num=1
"For our testing this time around we used a Jetway NC92 IPC
motherboard. This mini ITX motherboard uses the Intel 945GC Chipset
with ICH7 Southbridge and it comes with an Atom 230 1.6GHz processor.
This motherboard uses standard DDR2 and it offers a single PCI slot.
In addition to that, we also used a 300GB Seagate ST3300622AS SATA
HDD, 2GB of DDR2 memory, and the Intel 945 graphics were driving a
1680 x 1050 LCD display."
Basically 11.1-RC1 was the slowest in almost all the tests, sometimes
by a very long way, that'll be significant to end users. Is 11.1
likely to make a large difference?

Hello,
i don't know, if this list is the right. If not, then say it to me :-)
In my work for the openSUSE Weekly News, i use often the
software.opensuse.org/search - Interface. But often i must search for an
specific Version from an Package.
Is it possible to create an Advanced Search for this Interface?

Hopefully we (the GNOME Team) can ensure that we have a solid and working build of the latest and greatest from the land of GNOME, which should be able to bridge any gap that may occur with release cycles.
Having a release skip a DE isn't necessarily a bad thing, although I'm sure some will disagree quite vicifoursly. As long as both the KDE and GNOME teams have a well defined plan we can show the outside (and inside) world how we intend on improving things without having the latest release in the distro. The fact that we will have it available as a backport, with full support from the respective communities, is a major step forward - yes the KDE team have led the way here ;-)
Regards,
Andy
P.S. Sorry for the top post, silly mobile client.

As others have said - I have some reservations about releasing in
September and just missing a GNOME release.
I know that syncs badly with the conference, but I think GNOME is
important enough to go ahead and wait for it. Why have such a lengthy
release cycle and then just miss GNOME?
Also, given that people start testing heavily with RCs, it might be
better to have an additional RC rather than an additional beta.
Best,
Zonker

Hi
The other day I got an email from a member of the SUSE Beta team,
had a suse.de email address but don't remember the first part nor the
name, saying that for helping beta test openSUSE 11.1 I could get a free
box version of openSUSE 11.1 and a T-shirt I just needed to give my
shipping address. Before I could reply to the email my mail client crashed
and ate the email, if this is a real offer I would loved to accept it I just
need to know who to get in touch with I tried sending an email to the
board about this but no reply as of yet.
Thanks for the help

"We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other
reason than only freedom can make security more secure." Karl Popper
Hi,
Every now and then, on IRC (well, at least on #opensuse-gnome), there's
a question like "what's the deadline to get packages in this beta" or
"are we feature frozen" or "should we submit to openSUSE:11.1 instead of
openSUSE:Factory". I'm nearly sure answers to all those questions are
obvious to some people and/or are documented somewhere on the wiki. But
the fact is that it's not obvious to a bunch of people.
I'd like to see mails sent for all of this stuff, possibly to a new
mailing list (opensuse-devel-announce, which would be for announcements
for people following the development of openSUSE). Eg, sending a
reminder that the deadline for submitting packages for the next beta is
at the end of the week, or explaining that 11.1 was branched and
updates for 11.1 should be handled this way or this other way. Or
announcing that we're freezing upstream versions. Stuff like that.
(fwiw, this proposal is based on what is done upstream by GNOME, and it
has helped improve our life in the GNOME community)

Hi folks,
I was just bitten again by project dependencies:
openSUSE:Tools depends on ruby to get more current packages than what
we had on sle10.
I don't want to copy in the packages fromt heruby project and I don't
want to sourcelink them. I instead want the ruby project to 'know'
that there are other projects depending on it, so they get a message
if they try to disable the sle10 project repo.
And what I actually want is to design and document a best practice how
projetcs should interact in the software integration process, how
project releases are done, so you can rely on another project without
copying or linking it's base packages in.

Promotion of GNOME within 11.1 context:
- Need someone to write sneak peek article on GNOME for 11.1
(http://en.opensuse.org/Sneak_Peeks )

Wiki work:
- No tango icons, no wiki, since the whole mockup is tango-based
Updates to live.gnome.org:
- Some openSUSE-related pages created: http://live.gnome.org/Home?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=opensuse&tit…
- More promotion of openSUSE inside the GNOME devel community needed
- Build a GNOME upstream version of openSUSE with SuSE studio?
Dropping/adding packages:
- Nothing new, waiting for 11.2
- Rather than dropping, unless totally obsolete, packages should be moved out of
the official repo
AI: vuntz to create a wiki page with packages that could be moved out of G:F
AI: vuntz to start thread on how to organize maintainership for G:C
Bug triage proposal:
- Should do more bug days
- Add external people to bnc-team-gnome alias?
AI: hobbsc and metalgod to organize a bug triage marathon
State of GNOME 2.24 and future updates to openSUSE:

- Meeting admin work needs setting
- Minutes are boring, but rodrigo always comes to rescue :-)
AI: suseROCKs to review the weekly meeting agenda modification process and
debunk steps wherever he can
Agenda for upcoming meeting:
- Release date for 11.1, so use the meeting to discuss/review lessons learnt during
the 11.1 cycle
