[opensuse-project] CLT 2014 - Chemnitzer Linux Tage
by Marcel Richter 06 Jan '14

Hallo, am 15. und 16.03.2014 finden die Chemnitzer Linuxtage statt, wer noch einen Vortrag anmelden will, hat noch bis zum 7.01. die Möglichkeit dazu. Ein openSUSE Stand wurde angemeldet, wer sich dort einbringen will kann sich gerne melden. Grüße Marcel Das Wichtigste in Kürze: ------------------------ - Einreichen von Themen noch 4 Tage möglich http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2014/de/vortraege/call_form http://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2014/de/vortraege/call_form Call for Lectures In preparation for the upcoming Chemnitzer Linux Days 2014 we call upon all interested persons to submit their contributions about the development, promotion and/or application of open source software and their impact on everyone's privat and business life. This year we especially encourage speakers which deal with the subject of confidentiality to submit their contributions. The importance of confidential data storage and transmission became once again the focus of public attention because of the recent political events. Despite of the ongoning improvements in the domain of encryption algorithms and chipher software the widespread utilisation of these methods by the average user remains absent. Thus, the Chemnitz Linux Days 2014 shall not only provide an opportunity for discussions between experts, but also highlight the importance and utilisaton of cryptographics software available to the end user. Therefore we welcome submissions which cover one or more of the following topics: Basics of cryptography and confidantial communication Cryptographic software for end users / IT architects Configuration of encrypted mail, web and WLAN services Protection against and detection of spyware Quality and reliability of cryptographic open source software Reference implementations of cryptographic algorithms in the open source domain Analysis of cryptographic services like "DeMail" etc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] timeline and roadmap
by Jos Poortvliet 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Dear community, The openSUSE team has presented and with you discussed some plans for a more sustainable development project➀. Proposals like working openQA in the openSUSE development workflow, implementing staging projects, making improvements to OBS - and implementing these things will cost a lot of time. Right now, the openSUSE team is or plans to be working on a wide range of things: the openSUSE Conference, the new merchandising program and of course we have the openSUSE release process on our plate. Especially the work on the release takes much time from our team, both in terms of ongoing effort (keep factory working, openQA testing) and of course around the release itself. To implement the proposals we made in a reasonable time frame, we think it makes most sense for us to focus on them. That means, the openSUSE team would work on OBS, openQA etc in a series of sprints over a period of 6-8 months. In that time, we spend little if any time on the release process. Of course, after these changes the team will be back on the job at full speed. What does this mean for the project? Either the release should be done by others or in another way, or openSUSE will essentially skip a release. The project can still get updates to its users - there is tumbleweed and OBS of course, and perhaps we can do a simpler/preview release. Many things are possible. Shoot. What do you think? - The openSUSE Team ➀ http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2013-12/msg00349.html and https://lizards.opensuse.org/2013/12/11/discussing-about-the-future-of-open…

Perhaps it would make sense to put them smaller, on the breast? If you do, the text could also be "oSC'14" so you can make it a bit bigger... Then it might make sense to put something on the back, like the slogan. /J
