[opensuse-project] Statement on the recent Merger announcement
by Richard Brown 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Dear openSUSE Community, As you might be aware, SUSE's parent entity, the Attachmate Group has entered into an agreement to merge with Micro Focus, a UK-based enterprise software company. As the primary sponsor of the openSUSE Project, SUSE's President and General Manager, Nils Brauckmann has contacted the openSUSE Board to share the following key points " * Business as Usual: There are no changes planned for the SUSE business structure and leadership. There is no need for any action by the openSUSE Project as a result of this announcement. * Commitment to Open Source: SUSE remains passionately committed to innovation through Open Source. This has always been the foundation of our business and that will continue as we grow and innovate in new areas. * Commitment to openSUSE: SUSE is also fully committed to being a sponsor and supporter of an open, highly independent and dynamic openSUSE community and project. We are proud of openSUSE and greatly value the collaborative relationship between SUSE and the openSUSE community. The combination of the Attachmate Group and Micro Focus creates a larger, global enterprise software entity, operating at a greater global scale. This provides an even stronger foundation for the continued investment in SUSE and our continued innovation through Open Source." The openSUSE Board would like to thank Nils and SUSE for this reassuring statement. The Board is enthusiastic about the benefits of the merger may bring to SUSE and ultimately also to our openSUSE Project. If anyone has any questions, there will be an opportunity to raise them at tomorrow (Wednesdays) regular openSUSE Project Meeting at 15:00 UTC in #opensuse-project on the Freenode IRC network.

[opensuse-project] on peut pas toujours tirer la meme
by Franck 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Bonjour je me présente Franck Mercier, 34 ans. Je vous dis tout de suite, je ne suis pas un afficionado des sites de rencontres. Meetic et compagnie, pas pour moi, j’ai trouvé depuis longtemps l’amour de ma vie et j’en cherche pas d’autre. D’ailleurs, j’ai jamais eu de soucis pour faire des rencontres. Je rencontrais des femmes dans la rue, dans les associations sportives, partout quoi. Puis, au début, quand j’étais marié, je voulais pas forcément aller voir ailleurs. Cela a duré 3 ou 4 ans, puis petit à petit, j’ai eu des envies, je me suis mis à regarder les femmes qui passaient, à avoir des fantasmes… Le problème c’est qu’étant marié, j’avais plus le temps de draguer, alors heureusement, j’ai été invité par une connaissance à rejoindre le site jetirepasquemafemme. (puis) com (enlevez les (puis), cette precaution a ete prise pour eviter que l’url ne soit penalisee dans les moteurs de recherche ). Depuis, je me pose plus de questions. NB : ce site est réservé aux personnes en couple durable ou mariées. Les membres s’engagent à la plus totale discrétion concernant leurs rapports. Le respect de la vie maritale et officielle de chaque membre est une obligation qui s’impose à tous. Il ne s’agit en aucun cas d’un site de rencontre sentimentale, même si le respect des partenaires est de mise. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] OpenRheinRuhr Nov. 2014
by Stefan Schäfer 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hi, I am Stefan from the openSUSE related project invis-Server. At the last FrOSCon openSUSE hadn't enough people to have a own booth, so we did the job at our booth. That's ok so far, but what about the OpenRheinRuhr (8/9. November) this year. Again no booth from openSUSE might be ridiculous for a community linux project like this. At the OpenRheinRuhr it's impossible for us to do the job again, because we have our own booth from invis-Server, a sponsoring booth from my business and we have to manage a talk threat over one day. That's enough to do, we think. Call for projects is already running.

[opensuse-project] An interesting email...
by David Sugar 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

Dan, what I got from reading the article you reference...: >From: Dan Ritter <dsr <at> randomstring.org> >Subject: embrace, extend, extinguish >Newsgroups: gmane.linux.debian.user >Date: 2014-09-01 17:26:09 GMT (3 hours and 9 minutes ago) > >Reading: >http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linux-systems.html > >systemd's upstream is explicitly interested in taking over all >Linux distros, not in the minor sense of being supported on >every system but in the major sense of making package management >conform to their own views. --- ...is that among other things redhat people never grokked the true value of a versioned library package naming policy (like Debian, openSUSE, among other distro's use, hence demonstrating the core concept works as well for rpm as for dpkg based systems), and hence keep finding need to re-invent even more complex layers to solve these same fundamental issues that debian, opensuse, and similar distros already had already solved through such polices long ago with far greater efficiency and far less duplication of libraries and code everywhere for each and every vendor than this madness would involve. The lack of a logical and versioned library package naming scheme is also what always had made Fedora in particular painful and unreliable to upgrade. I do not think the problem is some evil cabal mad to take over the world, but rather simply a bit of ignorance mixed with a strong nih syndrome.
