Stephen,
As Pavol Rusnak mentioned earlier, all of Eucalyptus' target distros are handled by the Build Service. Surely we should be trying to convince them to use our service and enlightening them that by doing so enables them to have maximum reach with minimal effort.
Regards,
Andy

Lets make openSUSE more visible and vote up suse on the eucalyptus poll.

The long and short is that eucalyptus is a private internal ec2 cloud.

Just example what new users hit when they try Linux:
http://blogs.computerworld.com/a_newbie_turns_to_linux
Samba is notorious problem.
It is not installed, user is not warned that it should be installed.
Whoever wants more users, has to provide polish in areas that mass market is
asking for.

Subject: ***Very Important***: Get Your Students to Submit their
Proposals via the 2009 site *now*
To: Google Summer of Code Mentors List
<google-summer-of-code-mentors-list(a)googlegroups.com>
Hello everyone,
Right now, we have about 2x the students registered on the site as we
do number of proposals submitted. No doubt some of these student
registrations are "spam" from folks who won't be submitting proposals.
However, I am also hearing things like "We have six applications
submitted to the GSoC 2009 site but we're discussing another 20 or so
in our forums."
I realize that many organizations are working with students to refine
their proposal ideas on their mailing lists, wikis, etc. However, a
proposal on a wiki, mailing list, etc. does not constitute an actual
application for the program; the proposal must be submitted to the
GSoC 2009 site. While doing review and refinement outside of
http://socghop.appspot.com is a useful exercise, it doesn't allow us
to accurately gauge the number of student proposals we're receiving
for GSoC 2009.
Please help us get an accurate sense of how many proposals will be
submitted for GSoC 2009 by asking your students to submit their
proposals to the GSoC 2009 site *now*. They are welcome to link to the
wiki page, mailing list thread, forum topic, etc. where their
proposals are under discussion and refinement as part of the proposal
submission process.[0]
In case folks are wondering, we want to get this data so we can decide
if it's worthwhile to extend the student application deadline. We're
pretty much set on "no, we won't be extending the deadline," but we
need better data so we can assess if a deadline extension would be a
good thing to do. We're still anticipating the usual "near to deadline
application submission rush" that we see every year but we'd like to
get a more accurate proposal count sooner rather than later.
Cheers,
LH

to network disks (iSCSI), and remote installation over SSH. The
presentation will also cover automatic installations with AutoYaST.
* Making a Custom openSUSE Distro: Michal Hrušecký and Marek Stopka
will cover use of the openSUSE Build Service, creating your own
packages, cooperation with packaging team members, and creation of
custom distros using SUSE Studio.

There is a lot of discussions what software should be included in openSUSE,
and what to offer as default. Many people, many opinions.
I guess that long time ago offered predefined configurations can be solution.
Every user can Export list of packages installed on his system. So, this can
be one area where openSUSE users can help themselves and development team.
Instead of endless complains in all possible directions, export you favorite
selection and offer it as a sample, and, just as with screen savers, number
of downloads will be the judge.
This will remove a lot of guesswork, what people like and, after some time,
there will be always some configuration that is close enough to choose from.
I'm asking this to hear opinions how to do that.
Where to upload files exported from YaST?
How to check validity of files?
Collect opinions, beside download numbers?
How to make users aware of that?
