Core Services Team

From openSUSE

The Core-Services Team consists highly skilled People that care for vital parts of openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise. From init to X. The area of our work is right above the kernel/toolchain up to right below the desktop. There are 2 big subjects the Core-Services Team care for.

The first area is basic runtime services. This area consists of nearly everything that is vital to get a running system after the initrd is finished and before your login manager starts. Things like the init system and shells. Filesystem tools. Basic network, file and system tools. Editors and basic system libraries. This subject also covers everything that is needed to get something visible like the printing and scanning subsystems and X.

The second area is basic development tools. It consists of nearly everything that our customers and we can build solutions upon. Interpreters, Languages, Databases and basic development tools.
