Hi Alberto,
Thanks for the encouragement and for the interest in my idea. Indeed it seems hard to attract people to do that! Anyway, I still have some hope: I found some volunteer from the local Italian community (suseitalia.org) and they seem quite motivated to help.
That sounds like a good starting point.
Anyway, we should really discuss on how to proceed in setting things up. Ideally it would be nice to start with alphas, but being the first time we try to do something like this, anytime is OK.
As far as I know there will not be any alpha and beta versions but something like milestones with 11.2 - so yes: starting to test with the first milestone make sense.
At the moment I don't understand if there is interest for this idea on the Novell side though (Are you at N, btw?). I just had some quick talk with Zonker, who showed his interest, and who said he would have contacted Oliver Ries at suse.de to know what the existing infrastructure is. Still no answer. If you know something about that, it would be useful to talk about it too. :-)
Let's talk soon, when you have time.
There is interest by Novell: Zonker already told you about that. Yes, I'm also working for SUSE/N (Oliver is my boss) and I'm quite interested as well. Which information do you like to have? I volunteered to take over the action item of the Testing/QA section of the CommunityWeek (http://en.opensuse.org/CommunityWeek). So maybe we can use that as kind of kick-off for the testing team. Best wishes, Holgi PS: I will be on vacation the next couple of days but should read my e-mails anyway. Maybe some answers will last a little bit longer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
