I agree 100% here. We should stop waffling... buy the darned key and let's get on with implementing it into the standard openSUSE releases. We can be ready on time for the releases - which are happening later this year... or we can play catchup.... again.
If we don't have enough money in the marketing budget or wherever, then ask on the project list.. I'm sure that one or several of us could cough up the $99 US to cover it for the project.

Hi According to this, if I want to roll my own... I need to pay up as well... http://www.redhat.com/about/news/archive/2012/6/uefi-secure-boot "A healthy dynamic of the Linux open source development model is the ability to roll-your-own. For example, users take Fedora and rebuild custom variants to meet personal interest or experiment in new innovations. Such creative individuals can also participate by simply enrolling in the $99 one time fee to license UEFI. For users performing local customization, they will have the ability to self-register their own trusted keys on their own systems at no cost." Not sure about the intentions of the last sentence though.... to me that indicates I can create my own key at no cost and boot to linux as well as use an MS signed key for windows 8... which sort of negates the need? -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64) Kernel 3.1.10-1.9-desktop up 1:15, 5 users, load average: 0.24, 0.62, 0.36 CPU Intel i5 CPU M520@2.40GHz | Intel Arrandale GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
