[opensuse-project] opensuse conference practical information?

by Peter Czanik

Hi, The openSUSE conference starts next week, but I still could not find any practical information about it. Here are just a few things I miss: - address of the conference building ("Dubrovnik University" gives too many matches in Google...) - how to reach it by by car, public transport, etc. - how to get to the city from the airport - can one use Euro or needs the local currency (if local, where are ATMs, good exchange rates) Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Remastered DVD

by Sebastian Siebert

Hello, this topic affects all openSUSE users. Therefore, I turn directly to the responsible person of the openSUSE project. I think this is very important for all those users, who saves bandwidth and time while the openSUSE installation. In the past, there was an officially openSUSE Remastered DVD. [1] Unfortunately this was only the first and the last remastered DVD. I know that downloaded delta RPMs can a bit smaller as the original RPM but the creating of an RPM from delta RPM costs many time. Another example: If there is an update for zypper/libzypp or something relevant packages for the installer, the YaST installer has to restart itself after a zypper update. This is not wrong but it also costs time. Sometimes the openSUSE user has not an internet connection (e.g., WLAN or a special Ethernet card) but he needs the latest updated kernel from update repository that fixed several issues like graphics card driver (e.g., distorted screen) or network driver or something hardware related issue. Just as an example. Can we repeat this success story?

Fwd: [opensuse-project] Suggestions and critiques from a little group of desktop users

by G G

Hi All, thanks for your answers. :) > But I wanted to write this email to state that I really appreciate the > thought and effort you (and others) have clearly put in this email, > and the professional and constructive way you've put your thoughts > across. > > Emails like this is how good changes get started, thank you Thank you very much, I am pleased to see that someone of the Board is following my little summary of "problems". Actually those are not big problems that could make not working openSUSE, but small things that users notice in the every-day use, so they make difference between one distribution to the others. > Really worried about the documentation area as a whole, and the wiki > particularly. It's really difficult to find what you search for if you > don't know your way. Yes, I agree. Actually searching in the wiki is very "difficult" because by default not all namespaces are enabled in the "Advanced" panel. For instance [0], why "openSUSE", "SDB", "HCL" are not enabled by default? However this problem is mitigated by the fact that most people search through Google and find directly what they are looking for. Furthermore, some pages are not so well written. Take a look, for example, at How to migrate from Windows [1]. That page doesn't explain how to really migrate, is just a set of old informations about Linux, openSUSE and OpenSource stuff... I think that it should consist of simple paragraphs each of them linking to complete articles, something like: - Introduction -- What is FOSS software, underline that "migration" means also change some habits... -- Suggestions: always backup all your datas, do scandisks/defrags on Windows... - Some example of FOSS software for different case of use... - Pros of Linux over Windows - Pros of openSUSE over other Linux desktop/server distributions - oS Edu Li-f-E, Build Service, Zypper, all DE equally supported and so on... That's just a short summary, I don't want to go off-topic here. We can talk about it in a different thread. Thanks for your help and attention, Bye hawake [0] https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&s… [1] http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_migrate_from_Windows -- Linux user number 433087 Linux registered machine number 351448 http://linuxcounter.net/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] And finally.... Board meeting minutes and then some....

by Robert Schweikert

Hi all, $DAYJOBs have us scrambling and thus it took a bit longer to get the minutes out the door and the wiki updated. The skinny of it is that the board meeting on Feb 24th was canceled as we couldn't manage to get enough of us on the phone at any point during that week :( . The following two board meetings took place and the meeting minutes are now posted to the wiki. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting#Meeting_2014-03-10 http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting#Meeting_2014-03-24 As always if you have any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to reply to this thread or send a message to the board mailing list, board at o.o Collectively we are currently spending a good chunk of our time to get the booth box stuff bootstrapped and figuring out where to send this first batch of 30 boxes that is almost ready to go. For those interested in representing openSUSE at an event please speak up. We are trying to get the list at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Advocates_events#2014 back into shape and get the contact info updated as well as sorting out what events are of interest. Please help out. We received a great proposal from Jos for LinuxTag (May 8-10 in Berlin) and some volunteers will be needed to help organize, give talks, and man a table. Please get a hold of Jos, remember to use his opensuse e-mail address ;) . There will be a presentation of the booth box at oSC 14 that will show the content and present some thoughts around the expectations of material usage etc. Don't forget at the end of April we will have oSC 14 in Dubrovnic. If you have not registered please register soon to allow the organization team to get good numbers for planning the welcome reception and the certainly to be awesome conference party. CfP closed a couple of days ago, thus if you didn't submit, you missed out.
