Hello OpenSUSE fans,
Next month, March 29-31, Indonesian OpenSUSE Community (OpenSUSE-ID)
invited by Al Azhar University of Indonesia, Jakarta, in the Open
Source Event in their campus. We have a booth (well, a small booth but
it's okay :-) ) and get a session to promoting OpenSUSE to the
students. After discussing with OpenSUSE-ID members, we will go with a
liveCD demo, offering and distributing free CD with a booklet of
tutorial and brochure about OpenSUSE, stand up a seminar about current
OpenSUSE feature, Next OpenSUSE 11 feature, KDE 4 and a short
discussion about OpenSUSE capability in server areas.
I need some comparison from similar events in another country, is
there any missing point in our plan ? Some brochure example or a
session-photos would be nice to share to us.
Thank you.

Hi,
let me first introduce myself. I'm a Fedora contributor and Fedora
Ambassador for Croatia, but I'm not directly part od Fedora board or
Fedora Project.
Still I would like to ask you for assistance in one matter that you
have more experience dealing that Fedora - and that is deltarpm.
Fedora 9 features list has Presto[1] on it - it is a yum plugin that
handles deltarpms during updates.
Currently the deltarpm integration is stuck because the infrastructure
team is stuck[2] in its implementation.
Is there some way in which you can help with your longer experience
with handling deltarpm files so that this greatly needed feature comes
on by default in Fedora 9?
Is there some other list that is more specialized on this sort of
topics that I would be better of trying elsewere?
Cheers,
Valent from Croatia.

I am trying to advance the idea of making the kde4 style BESPIN the
default theme/style for OpenSuse 11 and kde4. Oxygen does not have very
appealing features so far and is being heavily worked on whereas bespin
seems to have very innovative ideas and more configuration features.
For this reason i am looking for OpenSuse developers that could work on
this theme and improve it even more. Probably take it under its wings
and make something much better than it is now.
Please, send me an email back if you as a developer are interested and
give me your opinion whether this could help O. Su. branding.
Andy

I've been following the thread about openSUSE membership with some
interest. This is a general kind of meta-comment on that discussion.
(I'm a Novell employee and SUSE old-timer, a constant user and
promoter of openSUSE, a list-lurker, but not a contributor.)
People who write about organisations often distinguish between
personal power (which someone gains by virtue of their abilities,
reputation, personal charisma and so on) and positional power (which
someone has as a result of their job title, their place in the
hierarchy etc).
Open source projects have traditionally operated mostly on the basis
of personal power: someone's position depends on what they have
achieved, rather than any formal title or status.
It's clear that a project like openSUSE (or Fedora, or Debian) needs
some formal (and ultimately legal) system of governance, and a Board
is welcome and necessary as a way of providing that, so long as its
workings are transparent and open.
But I'm slightly uneasy about the whole membership concept.
When I try to analyse the reasons for that unease, I see that it's
because a form of membership that has to be applied for and granted
seems too much like positional power and therefore doesn't quite "feel
right".

Looks like Francis was the only one to actually read my status report
and it caused some discussion at the end of the IRC meeting.
So I would like to clarify some bits:
- we won't take the non-oss repo away and it will be easy to download
flash, acroread or your preferred application
- we will continue providing a non-oss addon CD with a stricter EULA
- we want to make the EULA _really_ simple in using only OSS, currently
the EULA (if you read it) forbids you to distribute copies of your
downloaded openSUSE - because of the non-oss software bundled
So the question is: do we (as project) want to set a sign in making it
a bit more difficult to install non-oss software or is the ease of use
preferred over a simply license? We're very open for your feedback, but
Michl, AJ and me as openSUSE management team would prefer to use open
source only on the default medium.
Greetings, Stephan

Two questions/suggestions:
* may be it should be usefull to speak about membership here
http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Participate
* does every body writing for membership receive an answer? I don't
really need an other e-mail, and don't use IRC, but as one of the
first openSUSE... (I was to write member, but can't, how may we name
the people that work for openSUSE since the beginning?) and
fr.opensuse.org sysadmin, I think I should be a member... and I'm not
in the list

One of the new things that we're trying to introduce is more
@opensuse/ cloaks on Freenode. A few things remain which might be good
to open up for discussion -- what cloak to give to openSUSE members?
The two main options (as I see it) are:
* Provide one standard IRC cloak that all openSUSE
contributors/developers/translators/members would get. In this case I
quite like @opensuse/<nickname>
* On the other hand, would it be good to have some categorisation?
Such as @opensuse/contributor, /developer, /translator?
The second might be preferred since the first might not directly say
why they have the cloak, or what specifically they're involved in. The
first method is a lot less work, and you might avoid putting people
into categories when they in reality overlap.
Another issue: should @opensuse/user/<nick> be handed out to anyone
who's asked for it and has signed the guiding principles? The hope is
to eventually handle all IRC cloaks (and email addresses) through the
user directory in the future.
Thoughts?
Regards,
