Hi, lately we formulated concept of openSUSE Junior Jobs[1]. Maintainers of openSUSE packages can choose some of theirs easy bugs and mark them as Junior Jobs. Then anybody from community can volunteer and fix these issues. These tasks will be easily fixable and their purpose is to let people learn how to contribute and to create some easy task so anybody can join and start participating.

Hello all, I was wondering is there a process for centralizing or avoiding package duplication? I was looking for netbeans 6.7 and found several user versions. I was wondering if there was a custom specification for these or could a product like this be maintained in a "this is the openSUSE version" manor. The Education project has version 6.5 and I am sure we would like to use the already compile 6.7 from one of the users like "gerritbeine" . Lars is a very busy guy and I would bet he would like this package too. James Michal Hrusecky wrote:

Well, the idea of the non-home projects is that packages are maintained there and when somebody wants the new version or get something fixed fast, he link this package to his home, do whatever he wants and then send submitrequest back to the original project where maintainer reviews it and updates the original package accordingly (if it is a good thing). We want to motivate people to do so, but we can't force them. You can ask user which has this package in his home to propagate it further... -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz
