My vote goes for one major release each year.
For me its great advantage is that I would spend/waste less time dealing with
the special bits that SuSE does not always fully cover - my backup operating
system, my raid setup, the motherboard sensors, graphics card, the fortran bit
of hdf5, recompiling all my own software for the new library versions, codecs,
sound, etc. etc.
If you can do that plus keep major packages like Libreoffice reasonably up to
date during the year it would be even better.
Regards,
David Webb.

Hello everybody!
We are a small team working on setting up a public cloud service to
provide desktops and applications access through the web.
The service is expected to go live-beta in 2013.
In the meantime we have decided to periodically offer temporary
services as demo-beta so that we can better test the technologies and
the integrations we are working on.
We hope that users will provide us feedbacks so that the final service
will provide what users want.
As a first demo-beta, we chose to start with our beloved openSUSE and
are preparing to offer a time limited demo-beta for the lately
released 12.2 KDE environment.
Anybody interested can subscribe to our "openSUSE Beta" [1] offer from
our site, http://www.yodasp.com, and get access to openSUSE 12.2 KDE
systems to try them out for free.
Please, read the "How does it work ?" description from the
subscription page as this demo will be time-limited, restricted to a
small number of users based on a FIFO subscription, and will offer
dynamic systems where any uploaded data will be periodically deleted.
Another interesting part is that we have chosen to use the wonderful
ownCloud [2] workspace environment to get access to the openSUSE
systems through the NoMachine FreeNX [3] technology.
For any additional information, please, refer to beta.opensuse [AT]
yodasp [DOT] com and, please, "Have a lot of fun!"

We hope to make openSUSE 12.2 KDE try-out a good experience !

Evergreen is not on my radar and doing major upgrades would contradict what I
thought it was about. So no idea about them.

This only happened because it was meant to go into 12.2 but missed the
schedule and it was only meant to go into 12.2 because 12.2 was delayed.

12.2 shipped an outdated version of KDE, i.e. KDE 4.8. Instead it should have
shipped KDE 4.9.0 and offer the upstream bugfix releases through 12.2's
lifecycle. I'm pretty sure that 12.1 did not receive the latest minor bugfix
release for the KDE version it shipped.
Hence I'm pretty sure it is valid for KDE that openSUSE does not ship upstream
stable but whatever it claims to be stable. This results in outdated versions
with lots of bugfixes not shipped to the user. In fact, there will be no
openSUSE release with official KDE 4.9 support.
I hope LO will get an update to 3.6 since 3.5 was outdated before the 12.2
release already as well.

heya all,
I'm working on a little "openSUSE 12.2 well received" kind'a article. I need
some numbers to prove the point
How many downloads, stuff like that - see what we had last year:
http://news.opensuse.org/2011/11/19/opensuse-12-1-launch-feedback/
Who can send some stuff my way or help me out a bit?
Thanks!
Jos
After Oracle's announcement "Retiring the DLJ" [1][2][3] in Septenber 2011, it is no longer allowed to distribute the sun JRE packaged for distributions. Therefore I'd recommend to remove all java-sun packages from the OBS.
Having the latest huge security issues with the sun-plugin in mind, it could be good to enforce a de-installation of all the old Java installations or at least the plugin - not to break servers requiring the original sun JRE/SDK.

Hi all,
As some are aware I've hammered down MATE (though it still a lot of
polishing) for openSUSE; I'm make a small iso with Kiwi and I was
planning to call it 'Borderline'. This is a pure openSUSE 12.2 without
any changes which defaults to MATE and LightDM. The MATE
implementation is upstream (with some tweaks done directly on mate
packages so I don't have to follow the road of pain with branding) and
is mainly the same used by openSUSE. In addition this will get:
- Armored with all sort of codecs available (gstreamer/ffmpeg and
friends (ex: libdvdcss2));
- Font Rendering through Infinality
- Other stuff I might find interesting.
Is openSUSE ok with the usage of 'borderline' for a derivative? Why I
ask this is because 'borderline' is a mental disturbance and somehow
rare, in a way close to bi-polarity. This is a cool metaphore :)
(borderline-project.eu will come soon).
While I don't get own branding, this will be 'based on openSUSE'.
NM

Hello OpenSUSE project members,
the 14th LinuxDay in Dornbirn/Austria will take place on Nov. 24th 2012.
We are seeking proposals for lectures (german). Interested speakers are
invited to submit their proposals until Sep. 23rd.
Details can be found here:
http://www.linuxday.at/call-for-papers-2012
We are also interested in an openSUSE booth.
People who want to contribute, please contact papers(a)linuxday.at
Sorry for posting this so late.
I hope to be on the right mailinglist for this request now, at first I
tried opensuse-marketing, but that was definitely the wrong place.
Some general information about LinuxDay (german):
Der LinuxDay ist im 4-Ländereck von Deutschland, Schweiz, Liechtenstein
und Österreich mit bis zu 500 Besuchern die größte Veranstaltung zu
Linux und Freier Software.
Mittlerweile zum 14. mal organisiert die LUGV den LinuxDay in
Vorarlberg. In drei parallelen Vortragsreihen erfahren Einsteiger,
Linuxprofis bzw. Entscheidungsträger aus Wirtschaft und öffentlicher
Verwaltung Wissenswertes über Freie und Open Source Software.
Während der gesamten Veranstaltung können Besucher ihren zusätzlichen
Wissensdurst an zahlreichen Informationsständen international bekannter
Projekte und regionaler Dienstleister stillen.
Der Eintritt ist frei!
Greetings from Austria,
Xela

Just as a heads up for everyone:
1) Cinnamon has been moved to X11:Cinnamon and has the following
repository layout:
+ X11:Cinnamon:GNOME34 - For GNOME 3.4 enabled systems
+ X11:Cinnamon:GNOME36 - For future GNOME 3.6 enabled systems
+ X11:Cinnamon:Factory - For Factory development if
someday it becomes reliable
2) MATE Desktop has been moved for X11:MATE; Currenlty all 'base'
packages are available, and we're missing only a few python bindings
packages and some extras.Builds for the following platforms:
+ openSUSE 11.4
+ openSUSE 12.1
+ openSUSE 12.2
+ Tumbleweed
+ Factory
Regarding MATE Desktop, before considering Factory submissions (and
this is pretty much something I want to see on openSUSE in the
Future), there are few more things that are required:
a) Packages need some reviewing from GNOME experienced people;
b) Some packages need approval from SUSE Security Team regarding DBus
services, PAM modules, etc (I will open Bug Report later on for this);
c) Need deployment tests on all platforms;
d) more fixes as broken stuff pops out.

All,
I got the below from a different list and wanted to forward it to opensuse
community members that might be interested, but I realized our
community doesn't have a way to do that.
That's a shame. :(
== potential coders / contractors from here down only
Fyi: this specific contract might be for usa residents only.
Fyi2: In general software developed by this group is not only
opensource, it is public domain, so I don't see them trying to force a
proprietary license on whatever is produced.
Fyi3: bulk_extractor is in the security repo with source.
