[opensuse-project] Doing openSUSE for older people
by Kim Leyendecker 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Hello folks! I work together with some older people (60-70 years of life) and try to teach them some computer knowledge. I also say often that it will be easier to use a Linux-distro like openSUSE. So I ask myself, how I can say these people that openSUSE is better (easier) for them then Windows. They use Windows 7 and sometimes their are some really big problems they can´t fix by themselves. So they ask me. I think that openSUSE is easier for them because you just need to update your packages … [View More]

[opensuse-project] Time to decide: 11.4 or 12.0?
by Stephan Kulow 25 Dec '10

25 Dec '10

Hi, When the roadmap was discussed, I said we would decide on the version number when we have a clearer picture about what would make up the new version. So as Milestone5 is on the mirrors and I'm myself preparing for christmas holidays, I wonder: what's your oppinion on the version number? I myself prefer 11.4, but I have no strong objection against 12.0 if this is what the majority wants. Please read the original thread from the beginning to the end before you see yourself repeating … [View More]

[opensuse-project] New Projects article
by Jos Poortvliet 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi all, A while ago Izabel and myself started an article on a few new initiatives in openSUSE. We recently moved it over to Etherpad so others could get involved - and get involved they did. Helen and Yaloki already offered help and review so I think this part will work out. However, besides the three projects mentioned (Evergreen, Tumbleweed and the new Virtualization:Cloud repository) I bet there is more going on lately :D Hints are welcome, especially if they come with a small writeup!… [View More]

[opensuse-project] FYI: I intent to run for the next openSUSE Board
by Henne Vogelsang 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hey Peepz, just to let you and the election officials know I want to run for the openSUSE Board again. Since the conference after the last we started to transform the Board from a group of people who had no real idea what they are supposed to do (only what they are not supposed to do) into an entity of democratic elected representatives of our Members that tries to tackle the important project wide challenges. We took a stand for the independence of this project with the first steps towards … [View More]

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Board election
by Greg Freemyer 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

All, I'm very happy to see the excellent set of announced candidates for the board this early in the process. It won't be easy deciding who to vote for! That's great news and shows a vibrant community. see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_2010#Candidates One thing not clear to me is what the company affiliations are. (I gather Sebas is with openSLX). Can the wiki be updated with that info for each candidate? Specifically I believe Henne is Novell, but I don't … [View More]
