The Build service is indeed part of the openSUSE project. Ah ... good ... that's more or less what I wanted to hear. I've "invested" time heavily in the SUSE Studio at the expense of OBS. Rather than building packages for OBS I've been packaging them into appliances directly from the upstream source because it gets them into users' hands faster that way. So at some point I need to decide whether to continue down that path or switch to a mode like "package in OBS and distribute using the Add-on Creator". > Basically my understanding from the "interview" is that the status quo > remains - there are no changes planned immediately.

Yes, business decisions are typically made quarterly based on hard numbers and realistic forecasts, not wishes of open source developers or users of "free" services like SUSE Studio. ;-) -- http://twitter.com/znmeb http://borasky-research.net "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." -- Paul Erdős -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openFATE voting history?
by Greg Freemyer 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

All, In the past I've clicked on the voting tabulation for openFATE and drilled down into a graph of when votes have been made, etc. Is that graph intentionally no longer available?

The whole style of the interview is very businesslike, barely anything definite, careful not to trip on any legal wires, especially the legal disclaimer at the end =) That the CEO is awnsering to community question makes quite a bold statement in my eyes, they are dedicated to the thing and that's is a comforting thought. Also it looks to me that they consider SUSE/openSUSE as a beach head for a future business model, so they are honestly interested in this community thing.

Second, no you don't need any java at all on the client side, it's html5 and javascript only, the server will need java capabilities though. So using your cr-48 as client should be totally fine.

[opensuse-project] Remote desktop from a browser in openSUSE?

I may be getting one of those nifty Google CR-48 notebooks. Is there a simple way to set up my home openSUSE 11.3 desktop so I can get to it remotely from a browser (Chrome, of course, on the netbook, but also generically)? -- http://twitter.com/znmeb http://borasky-research.net "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." -- Paul Erdős -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Something like WUBI for openSUSE
by Kim Leyendecker 18 Dec '10

18 Dec '10

Hello friends! A feature that I really miss in openSUSE is something like WUBI. Maybe you know this tool, what let you install Ubuntu on a Windows-partition. I think for beginners, who don't want to create a Linux-partition is this a easy and great way to have a nice welcome-unit in Linux. openSUSE will be a distro for beginners and advanced users, right? So this feature is a real nice present for beginners and people who just want test openSUSE. I know, it won't be easy to realize this idea, and I think it won't be a fast way to create the tool. but it will be a nice goal for openSUSE 12. So we have cleared the 11.4/12.0 question in one, because we can say something like this: "No, we give you openSUSE 12 when the WUBI-like feature is running". kind regards kdl -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker(a)hotmail.de) Kernel 2.4.37.10-kdl Maintainer Powered by openSUSE 11.2 "Emerald" GNOME This mail was composed under Linux -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Time for a change?! Talking on release numbers
by Kim Leyendecker 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi Folks! with the discussion of the version number of openSUSE 11.4 (12.0) I think we need a thread to talk about it in general. I think that the scheme we use today is the best, but some people want to change it and maybe there are some very important points that shows that a change is the best way. I hope we can use this thread to talk on the release number scheme and don't start some other discussions in other threads. hope we can find a way to use kind regards kdl -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker(a)hotmail.de) Kernel 2.4.37.10-kdl Maintainer Powered by openSUSE 11.2 "Emerald" GNOME This mail was composed under Linux -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openFATE screening next monday
by Thomas Schmidt 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi, we will do an openFATE screening day next monday. What does this mean? With the renewed openFATE feature tracking system[1] we have the possibility to involve the community in all steps of feature evaluation and implementation. Everyone can take responsibility for features now and track their state in openFATE. We already have some subprojects[2] using openfate such as the openSUSE distribution, OBS, SUSE Studio, Infrastructure ... On monday we will focus on screening the 11.4 features, getting used to the process[3] and report problems with the feature tracking tool. We will be in #opensuse-project the whole day, just drop in if you want to help or have questions. Greetings!
