Heya all,
The GM is not ready yet so I'll wait a bit with sending out stuff to the press. That means there's still time to fix/add to the Product Highlights. They are now on the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights
I would LOVE feedback on what our major features are in the openSUSE 12.1
release. Right now, I claim it is: 1.1 Latest Free Desktops introduce color management, GNOME Shell and
more 1.1.1 KDE introduces Oyranos, Apper and Plasma Active
1.1.2 GNOME Shell - improved and refined 1.1.3 The other desktops
1.2 openSUSE offers latest web and cloud technologies
1.2.1 Web surfing and serving
(mentions Chromium 16, Firefox, WebYaST and Horde 4)
1.2.2 Supporting Cloud technologies
(talks about EC2 support, Xen/KVM/VB and the repo with Eucalyptus, OpenNebula and OpenStack)
1.3 Improved distribution technology
1.3.1 Snapper rolls back changes 1.3.2 systemd boots your system 1.3.3 Write in go, compile with Clang or GCC
Please, if I missed things or talked something up which is not big, let me know.
If you have something you'd like to talk up, try to explain why we're "best, first or only" (etcetera, see http://ietherpad.com/2jE5Z40A3A) and please help us write about the feature in the http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights
Thanks, Jos
I was using the RC2, and didn't see Clementine on there, but its mentioned. Need to confirm if its in the DVD or not... and whether it was just goofed. May want to play up the new C++11 standard.
It is there, see http://en.opensuse.org/12.1_Package_list feel free to improve the section on C++11. Be sure to be factual, I did check the GCC page and if I recall correctly it's not 100% supported yet by our tools. It ain't a major feature, at least, it's not that we're first, that it's hugely user visible or that we're unique in it. Cheers, Jos
