Q&A Section

Your Name Question/Comment
Dunes Why has the current 10.3 branding not the official chameleon? Imho it should be used instead of the current unknown hybrid. This to make system look and feel over-all recognizable as the SUSE distribution.
Gabriel I don't know what plans do you have for the gnome menu, but I think it should be more customizable. Maybe letting the user change the groups of the application browser, or drag applications to other group, etc.
mesmero Is there a chance to put WTF (from the suser-crauch repository) and yakuake, two useful and small apps, into the next openSUSE distribution?
Kevin I noticed there was a mock up in Branding for 10.3 for a new, really good looking installer. Will this be implemented in 10.3? It looks way better than the current one!
Marc I noticed after tried many distribution: mandriva, kheops, fedora, xandros, ubuntu, suse that suse is very nice but lack of the performance side: slow boot time, yast is slow, system is not enough responsive. We can read on many forum this problem. What the opensuse team will do to improve that?
RedDwarf We will see NTFS-3G integrated (default driver, YaST, etc.) in openSUSE 10.3? In bug #247750 was discussed how it should be added *if* added, but we still don't know if it will be added or no.
Scott Couston It seems apparent from the number bugs without a resolution still exist in versions 10,0-10,2. A very small number of bugs are closed as Fixed in 10,3. Looking at the sheer number of open bugs in 10,0-10,2 it would appear that release of a new version only increases functionality at the expense of closing and fixing bugs. Can you tell me/us under what situation/timetable you use to determine the tooling-up for a new version and what constitutes a RC - given the number of current bugs. Forgive me I am not offering criticism at all, however Novel's Q.A compliance would appear at odds with current release pattern of aprox 6 months. Due to my GMT +10 time difference I will be unable to attend the session and trust that a .PDF may be available afterwards. Many Thanks for your time.
Christian Boltz What's the status of public FATE? (AI #223290, no feedback since november)
