Getting in touch with the openSUSE-Medical Community

There are many ways to get in touch with the openSUSE-Education community to obtain information, help, support, join our development team or to just discuss education related topics.

This wiki on opensuse.org is our official Wiki to provide information about openSUSE-Medical.

IRC: #opensuse-medical

"Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group (many-to-many) communication in discussion forums called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication and data transfers via private message." (see Wikipedia)

There are many tools and applications available for chatting on IRC:

• Xchat or Konversation for Linux users
• mIRC for Windows users
• MacIrssi for MacOSX users

The openSUSE-Education IRC channel named #opensuse-medical is hosted on the Freenode server at irc.freenode.org. This is our main channel where day-to-day conversations and support relating to openSUSE-Education take place.

Mailing Lists

The openSUSE-Education mailing lists are open for developers and users. e-Mails sent to one of the mailing lists will be received by everyone that is registered on that list. The mailing list server can be found at http://lists.opensuse.org. For detailed information and the etiquette, visit our Mailing_Lists page.

We have two mailinglists with the same goal, but different languages:

Bugtracker

We use Novell-Forge for our development and bugtracking. So if you are firm with "Bugzilla", you can either create a bugreport via the official openSUSE-Bugtracker. Please read the Bugs wiki page before posting new bugs in any bugzilla. This avoids duplicate work for developers.

Meetings

A regular IRC meeting takes place biweekly on Tuesdays at 1800CET in #opensuse-medical on Freenode.
