In addition to well-developed code, testing is a major part of ensuring
a rock-solid openSUSE Linux distro. To make sure testing of openSUSE
11.2 (and beyond) are done in a well-organized way, we're improving the
way the openSUSE Core Test Team works together to ensure top quality for
openSUSE.
In the next couple of days Milestone 4 of openSUSE 11.2 will be
available. This is a very good moment to have a closer look into the
next openSUSE release: some new features are already implemented and
there is enough time to fix reported problems.
Thus we are looking for 15 members of the openSUSE Community that are
willing to contribute to the openSUSE project by joining the openSUSE
Core Test Team and operate in the following areas:
* Check if new features are implemented and working as requested
* Have a deeper look into the install and update system of openSUSE and
ensure a broad hardware coverage
* Creating, improving and executing test cases for various areas of the
distribution
Repository for test cases and tracking system for all test results will
be Testopia, the test case management extension of Novell's Bugzilla.
Members of the Core Test Team will get access to the openSUSE test plans
and will so be able to contribute. Beside storing test results they are
also able to create or modify test cases.
If you are really interested in joining the openSUSE Core Test Team and
willing to spend a reasonable amount of time to move the openSUSE
project forward please get in contact with Holger Sickenberg <holgi at
suse.de> providing following information:
* Your Linux experience
* Previous testing experience, if any
* Areas you are interested in testing
The number of members is limited to 15 at the moment to ensure we are
able to adequate support everyone of them. We will add more once we've
figured out in the smaller group whether everything works.
Of course everybody is still able to contribute to the openSUSE project
by testing parts of the distribution. Enabling the openSUSE Core Test
Team will not have any impact on that. Further information on testing is
available at http://www.opensuse.org/Testing .
We are looking forward to your application. Deadline for applications is
August, 15th 2009.

Here is the first beta version of a brand new security tool:
'checkroot' is the first tool to retrieve fingerprint/gpg-pubkey updates
online and therefore allows a trusted verification of your root file
system roughly based on rpm --verify. Not even debsums can do that.
download: http://wwwu.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/estellnb/checkroot/
It can serve as a pre-replacement for feature #306508:
https://features.opensuse.org/306508.
Besides this it may be a good example for the usage of private/public
gpg keys (edu-purposes).
Feedback welcome. Further testing required.
