Your Name Question/Comment
Cameron Seader Will there be any progress made to include BlackBerry Syncing and teaming for modem device?
Francis Giannaros Are there no plans to really get some consolidation of domain names etc that are used with openSUSE? Good summary of what I mean here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2007-03/msg00050.html
Francis Giannaros A big project like openSUSE really needs a better news feed I think. The -announce list is good for bigger announcements, but the items for example on the main page have to be manually added, it's a little messy; a wiki page is not ideal for this at all. There was a wish filed about this years ago, but nothing new yet. All the same would go for a web Calender application (upcoming events etc); using external stuff like Google's isn't so great at all.
CyberOrg I would like all the packages required to compile compiz plugins on the DVD, right now we have to fetch some missing packages from ftp. I can provide list of devel packages required. Another thing is KIWI, I just gave it a try and some packages like squashfs were not part of 10.3Alpha2 DVD, so had to fetch from ftp too. Should Imake enhancement bug report on bugzilla?
CzP During FOSDEM 2006 I was told, that PPC should be added to the BuildService in Q3 2006. It's Q2 2007 now. Any developments in this direction? There are many interesting packages in the BuildService...
