I think maintaining two different opensuse versions is a big mistake, I
dont understand it and I think most users wont understand it.
Shouldnt it be enough for those normal users to simply add some other
repos and then press zypper dup?
If that is the case, it should be "one enterprise release" + an option
during installation that you can check if you want the latest and
greatest from tumbleweed. It would be much less confusing.

Hi all,
Last week Dominique Leuenberger gave a really good presentation about
the Tumbleweed and Leap integration process and briefly described the
interconnecting points of the openSUSE project. If you are interested,
please read the article and watch the video at http://bit.ly/1fK42Z5.

Have a lot of fun.

Sorry for the lateness - I just found this in my "Drafts" folder. I
blame the corporate email system ;-)
LFNW 2015 was April 25th & 26th, in Bellingham, WA. openSUSE sponsored
LFNW again this year; thanks to the board for making this happen.
As usual, we "had a lot of fun!" As a sponsor, we were entitled to a
100 sq.ft. booth space, which was setup in the 'openSUSE Lounge' design
once again this year. The lounge design provides a calm place for
people to sit down and relax for a few minutes in an otherwise crazy
conference floor space. Our volunteers can sit back and spend time
chatting with users, or other enthusiasts with questions, or go to the
'workbench' in the back to sit down with a laptop and solve real
problems. The Booth Box supplied us with an abundance of media, both
DVDs and thumb drives, as well as swag that was very popular with
passers-by. We make a point of bundling the DVDs inside the "What's
Cool" brochure, so guests of the show don't just walk away with install
media, but at least a general idea of the community and tools that make
openSUSE unique.
Morning meeting at the openSUSE Lounge:

LFNW 2015 had record attendance again this year, with about 1850
registered attendees, and an uncounted number of unregistered attendees
(it is a completely free and open event, so registration is optional).
In the conference hall we felt this on Saturday, with big loud crowds.
With a crowd of that scale, its hard to make good connections from
handing out some of the items in the booth box, so we worked with LFNW
organizers to use our materials as effectively as possible. The
majority of the openSUSE thumb drives went toward the event's "world
famous" raffle, where the announcer mentioned, with nearly every
giveaway, "and an openSUSE thumb drive". It was great to hear him say
"openSUSE" fifty times over the course of the hour :-) The openSUSE
coasters were allocated to the event's Saturday night party, and were
preliminarily placed at tables and booths, and handed out with beers
until they were gone. I was informed by a few attendees on Sunday that
they pocketed the coasters instead of using them for their beers as
intended.
Saturday's crowd:

Hey friends,
My work is currently looking at providing mirrors to some distributions, openSUSE being one of them, but they asked me about how much bandwidth on average is spent when people use your mirrors. I wanted to ask our group if anyone knows those numbers. For example, main repository versus a list of repositories in the USA.
If anyone knows, please let me know :)

Hi
First of all, the design of the landing page is awesome!!!! Kudos to
everyone who worked on it. However, I have issues with how the content
was placed.
I have always believed that the openSUSE Project is different from the
openSUSE Distro. By calling openSUSE as a Linux OS, we are ignoring
the fact that the we are not just a distro. One may argue that Tools
describe other projects but then we come off more strongly as a distro
rather than a community.
Second, the contributions corner. It is uninviting for non-technical
contributors. There is no mention of it and it does not help at all
with the issues we are already facing or not talking about.
I hope the people who are working on it give thought about it.

Hello,
I'm in the way of trying to makes more live the membership process. This
mail should have been sent to the "membership_official" list only, but
most of his members are probably also on -projet, and this number is not
now large enough to have a normal functioning.
normally, we should accept or decline a submission if it reach *4* votes
in the good direction.
Problem is some submissions are pretty old and I think very bad to have
people waiting an answer.
two kind of people do not give any problem:
* ones having no contribution at all and not listing any or asking to
make contributions in the future. I think these submission should be
declined by the first member of the team that sees them, with a kind
message (anyway all the submission results a e-mailed on the m_o list,
so anybody knows)
* some peoples have a large contribution (like people making the OSC-15
happen) and could be accepted may be with only two positive advices.
Should be on this category people who's contribution is confirmed by one
of the team, even if it's not too much visible on the net (I think for
example Nicolas that held the openSUSE booth during a hole week at RMLL!!)
for the people having some plus and some minus, the m_o list is there
for discussion.
What do you think?
thanks

Now that the first milestone for Leap 42.1 is imminent (or is it out already?)
I'd like to suggest that we no longer use just "42" as a name
(not even for download-links) but "Leap 42.1" or "Leap"
in order to penetrate the name early and consistently.
Otherwise me might end up with two competing names (= confusion).
The project-page should be updated accordingly, too.
BTW:
- Is it "official" now that Leap 42.1 uses the 4.1-LTS-kernel?
I've read that somewhere.
- And has a decision been made already with respect to support-time: 3 or x
years?
Greetings!

I'm unable to understand how to interpret the diff here, which seems to say
the subject language appeared due to edit by lnussel sometime (mysteriously)
between October last year and today, to wit:

Important Release Deadlines
Check-in Deadline for packages is Friday afternoon (UTC) before the
Milestone. Deadline for all other packages is Monday afternoon before the
Milestone.
[/quote]
What's the difference between "packages" (Friday afternoon deadline) and
other packages (Monday afternoon deadline)?
