Non-official versions of openSUSE

Some projects are aimed to make non official openSUSE versions, for special purposes. These projects are not affiliated with the openSUSE project, unless stated. They are sometimes "awake" - ie updated regularly, or they may also be "sleeping" - ie not updated often. To clarify the position, see this Non official openSUSE versions page.
