= My Way to openSUSE =<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
I never was a friend of MS Windows (although some of my friends gave me the dirt on it), but I accepted it and learned how to eliminate the bugs and unnecessary RAM wastage. One of my friends ([http://de.opensuse.org/Benutzer:STS301 STS301]) installed Ubunto nearly one year ago and had quite a lot of troubles with it. That put me off using Linux too. Moreover I thought that there are not enough applications available for daily use as in MS Windows. As I now know I was definitive wrong!<br />
<br />
== Getting Started ==<br />
<br />
In mid 2009 I had much to do with Linux (a.o. Ubuntu and openSUSE). I recognized that Linux is not as bad as I always thought. So I partitioned my harddrive and installed openSUSE 11.1 with GNOME 2.24. At first I had some troubbles partitioning my harddrive, but it finaly worked!<br />
<br />
My first impression was that I did not find anything I know from Windows. But after some internet and library investigation I was able to configure my Laptop and use openSUSE regularly. At the time I think I am well enough to use openSUSE at everyday's work as well. I was astonished how easy it is to download, update and/or upgrade software. I had always thought that it is very hard to find software that fits. --> CONGRATULATIONS to this really good software!<br />
<br />
== Combination with Windows ==<br />
<br />
I need some programs for my education that only run on Windows (without problems). But because I do not want to reboot each lesson I need these programs, I decided to use a virtual machine. I chose Sun VirtualBox 3.1.4 which is OS. So I can easily work with Linux and Windows at the same time.<br />
<br />
= My work for openSUSE =<br />
<br />
As you have read in the article, I have not used openSUSE as long as others. But after some book researches I think I am quite well. But I am optimistic that I will cope with that. My aim is to work in the openSUSE community as well as I can. Moreover I try to make openSUSE palatable to others.<br />
<br />
My first job at openSUSE was (and is) at the openSUSE Marketing Team. I am translator from English to German and I am Event-Editor. Moreover since September 1, 2009 I work as an openSUSE Ambassador. I'm gladly looking forward to some events I can participate to represent openSUSE.<br />

====[http://news.opensuse.org/2010/11/22/novell-agrees-to-be-acquired-by-attachmate-corporation/ Novell, Attachmate and openSUSE]====<br />
"Is this thing on? *tap* *tap*. Good evening friends, this is your openSUSE Board speaking. If you didn’t hear yet, Novell has agreed to be acquired by Attachmate Corporation. What does that mean for the openSUSE Project? We don’t know exactly yet because our crystal ball is currently in the shop and therefore fortune-telling is not our greatest talent ;-) However, we have other talents: we are a software developer community and we’re here to work on one of the greatest GNU/Linux distributions and other world class software distribution tools to advance Free and Open Source software together with the global FOSS community!"<br />
====[http://news.opensuse.org/2010/11/23/where-do-we-need-to-improve/ Where do we need to improve?]====<br />
"Community, during our bi-weekly Board Meetings on IRC we have a regular agenda topic “Where do we need to improve?”. We’re very much interested in ideas you may have to improve the inner workings of the Community/Project and we also like to provide an opportunity to step up and make us aware of complaints you may have with various aspects of the Community/Project. We’re particular interested in addressing those issues that are both fast and easy to fix while providing a significant advantage to our success and the sake of our community."<br />

"Well, i know that i haven’t be so active in the last months here in lizards or the OWN but that doesn’t mean that i stop my ambassador work, and here is a small story about what i do to integrate the spread of the openSUSE word in my work.<br />
After a really bad month for the economic point of view, i had to refocus all the goals of my company to jump out the hole where i fall thanks to the changes in the economy of my country (Venezuela), so i came out with the idea of give on-line courses about system security, hacking, pen-testing and that kind of stuff, including the usual Web Dev, Sys Admin courses."<br />

"This month saw the final release of kernel 2.6.36, and the closing of the following ‘merge window’ for new features to be merged into what will become the 2.6.37 kernel (more details about the latter in a moment). The 2.6.36 kernel features concurrency-managed workqueues, preliminary support for the fanotify mechanism discussed here in the past, final merging of the AppArmor security system used by some distributions for many years, and support for a new architecture, among many dozens of other significant improvements. The new kernel received patches from over 1,100 engineers for a total of nearly 11,000<br />
changesets (collections of related changes to various kernel files) overall."<br />

"The automatic creation of process groups should keep the desktop interface responsive even when a large number of processes are making the CPU sweat. Meanwhile, the development of 2.6.37 is in full swing, and new stable kernels replace their predecessors; 2.6.35, on the other hand, has reached the end of its life."<br />

"Well, I know it has been a long time for me to come up with what I think, is the start of a good future. I can only do mockups but I am sure that if there is a programmer brave enough out there to take this idea and turn it into a reality, be my guest.<br />
I have taken a lot of things into account in order to create these mockups, and they are far from perfect. I believe they make sense and I am sure that many could be inspired by what you see. openSUSE needs direction and image. Ubuntu went first and they are being radical in their own way. Sure, many people are not happy with their inclusion of the netbook interface into the mainstream of their desktop version but the effects are ameliorating and people in their community are accepting the change. Is openSUSE ready for a change like that? a change in image and character?"<br />
====[http://michal.hrusecky.net/index.php/blog/show/Pasting-images.html Michal Hrusecky: Pasting images]====<br />
"As you probably know, I'm the one responsible for openSUSE Paste. So I'm receiving some requests for adding features and fixing thing and such. One of the request I received quite some time ago was from Sirko. He's artist and he's doing nice artwork. Sometimes he needs to quickly post what he has drawn somewhere to show it to the others and receive some feedback. He is currently using his own site, he could use some image pasting site, but he is our community member and he likes promoting openSUSE wherever he is, whatever he is doing. So I started working on image pasting support for our openSUSE Paste quite some time ago and this weekend I finally finished it."<br />

"As we announced yesterday (and Henne did 90% of the work, btw), Novell is probably going to be acquired. Yes, probably, it's not a done deal yet, but is probably what is going to happen.<br />
Now, my very personal 2 cents about it. Not the view of the entire openSUSE board, just me, from my very own experience and feelings.<br />
So it's random conspiracy time again, not like we haven't been there before, did we (just google for "Novell Microsoft deal" and look at all those doomsday scenarios)."<br />
====[http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/11/24/updated-permissions-handling-in-11-4/ Ludwig Nussel: updated permissions handling in 11.4]====<br />
"In addition to supporting file system capabilities (fate#307254) I’ve also updated the permissions handling in 11.4 slightly.<br />
There have been complaints that every SuSEconfig run also calls SuSEconfig.permissions which leads to changed file permissions at unexpected times. Therefore I’ve modified SuSEconfig.permissions to only actually set permissions when called explicitly (ie SuSEconfig –module permissions). When called by a generic SuSEconfig run SuSEconfig.permissions now only shows files with wrong permissions but doesn’t actually fix them anymore."<br />

====[http://anditosan.blogspot.com/2010/11/opensuse-needs-to-rebel.html Andres Silva: openSUSE Needs to Rebel]====<br />
"Over the course of a few years, and after openSUSE was launched, the relationship of openSUSE internally has been one of constant rediscovery and also lethargy. openSUSE heaveily relies on the power of the community and their votes on certain issues, features, etc. Simply put, openSUSE is democratic.<br />
In a sense, this means that openSUSE has developed a system that slows down the process of innovation and has become an acolyte of other Linux distributions such as Fedora and Ubuntu. Fedora, on the one hand, has the fairly advanced support from the Red Hat giant. A company that has enough capacity to make changes which are matured enough and set examples for other distributions to follow. Then Ubuntu has Mark Shuttleworth. A character with a strong personality and defying attitude to break the routine of being a "common" Linux distribution."<br />
====[http://e-tote-kala.blogspot.com/2010/11/opensuse-difficult-distribution-or-user.html Kostas Koudaras: openSUSE: A difficult Distribution or a user-friendly distribution? (Part 1).]====<br />
"Finally what kind of distribution is openSUSE? Is it a distribution that demands from the user to have some basic knowledge around Linux? is it a distribution unmanageable or by now its development has reached that level that has become a stable but yet friendly to the user of every level? Finally is openSUSE a distribution that you would recommend to a user that starts now with FOSS?<br />
The easy way to write that article is to present you the advantages of the distribution noting for you that openSUSE is really the easiest distribution on the world.But something like that would not be interesting for no one and I believe neither it would convince anyone. Another way would be to emphasize the disadvantages of the other distributions but I find that immoral and again I wouldn't convince anyone.Of course at some point I'll have to make some comparison with other distributions but that will only serve my intention to define the position where openSUSE stands and under no circumstances I have no intention to undermine any distribution because that would undermined the work of other people like me who make a try to support FOSS and FOSS is above all."<br />

My suggestion is that python 2 be kept the default, but for python packages and bindings that support it, python 3 versions should be made available as well.

Amazon MP3 offers a really good selection of DRM-free music, including a fairly hefty selection of free songs and sampler albums.

Replication is a key technology for any database offering, because databases are typically mission-critical systems. Downtime — or, worse yet, data loss — can result not only in inconvenience to employees and customers but also in lost productivity and lost revenue. By replicating from a primary server, or master, to one or more secondary servers, sometimes called standbys, the probability of data loss or extended downtime can be greatly reduced. (...)"<br />

"Adding files to a SVN server is usually a task done in seconds. However, having several independent SVN repositories and wanting to “combine” them, this is not trivial—especially if you want to preserve the history.<br><br><br />
The doc team had had three different, independent repositories on BerliOS (opensuse-ha-doc, opensuse-docmaker, and opensuse-lfl) all holding separate information. This was a bit silly, so my task was to consolidate them into [https://developer.berlios.de/projects/opensuse-doc/ opensuse-doc] by ''keeping'' all history. (...)"<br />

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) ideals are nice, and very special word in that name is Free, like freedom. Creating obstacles that will limit users ability to use what works for them will not help us, nor FOSS. We can recommend opensource software and install it by default, but we can't make sure that it works for everyone, in which case giving that as the only choice is forcing users to give up on Linux, or go elsewhere. Does that help to build user base? (...)"<br />

First of all, last Tuesday I endured the ritual stabbing that seems to be required for travel to Brazil (I'm going to Lationware). I'm rather proud of the fact that I didn't feint or anything (I did last time I had an injection) - less happy with the fact that I still have two sour arms and am expected to get flu-like symptoms over the weekend.

Infecting a Mac or a Linux system with Koobface is quite tedious. Unlike in Windows, users need to manually download a java applet and give it the permission to run – that should stop the trojan right there for most users. In Linux, it gets even better – even if the applet has been allowed to run and the system has been infected, all that is needed to stop it is a simple reboot. (...)"<br />

"At Latinoware, a team of openSUSE contributors will come together, not only to promote openSUSE but also to talk with each other about the future plans for the major linux distribution in Brazil. openSUSE has some awesome technology and great people – both deserve more attention than they get and this is what the openSUSE ambassadors will talk about!<br />
At the conference, you can expect the following talks by openSUSE people: A11y: Its about you! by Bryen “suseROCKs” Yunashko, international GNOME and openSUSE marketing and Accessibility expert; and “Why are you here?” by Jos Poortvliet, openSUSE community manager for Novell. He will be very friendly and the talk will feature kittens.<br />
For those interested in educational software on linux, openSUSE ambassador Carlos Alberto dos Santos Ribeiro, one of the central openSUSE people in Brazil will talk about openSUSE Edu Li-f-e. There are two talks by ambassador Rogerio Ferreira: Xen for Dummies (about visualization on linux) and ”Automatizando Tarefas ao Extremo com Shell e Expect”. Conference co-organizer and all-round cool girl Izabel Cerqueira Valverde will talk about “GNOME Women & openSUSE Women – Mulheres e seus espaços”. Her brother, Ricardo Cerqueira Valverde will discuss “openSUSE apresenta Realidade Aumentada em Linux”. Silvio Palmieri talks about “Laboratório de A a Z”. And the openSUSE buildservice is covered by Alexandre Duarte Rogoski in ”openSUSE BuildService – Construindo Softwares para Diversas Plataformas e Distribuições”<br />
On Friday the ambassadors will have a meeting with their international guests and anyone else who is interested in contributing to openSUSE."<br />

"Paolo has checked into Mono's GIT repository our brand-new profiler for Mono applications. <br />
The new profiler is documented in detail here, and is available with Mono 2.9+ (this means: it is available if you build Mono from GIT, and will be part of the upcoming 2.10 release). <br />
We would love to hear your feedback on it, and we hope to have a UI integrated into MonoDevelop soon."<br />
====[http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Nov-11.html Miguel de Icaza: F# Goes Open Source]====<br />
"Last week, Don Syme announced that Microsoft has open sourced the F# compiler and the F# core libraries under the Apache 2 license. <br />
In addition, on Tuesday, Don also announced a new release that fixes a handful of bugs specifically for users targeting Mono. <br />
F# is a fascinating language, but I had not really spent much time with it as we could not really distribute it as an open source compiler limiting its usefulness in the Linux and Mac worlds. Now F# can become just another language that developers can use. <br />
F# supports asynchronous programming today, and it was the inspiration for C# 5.0's async support. There is no need to wait for C# 5 to come out, you can start using async workflows today with F# everywhere."<br />

This year they had a bigger program with workshops, 3 tracks and 3 tracks with talks.<br><br><br />
For me it was as I said my 7th visit and I had every year a talk or/and a workshop there. This year I had a talk “The openSUSE A-Z guide” there and of course an workshop about Inkscape. For my talk the worst case scenario did happen. I prepared my talk and put him on an usb stick, the stick crashed.

You can have users who have actual accounts on a system, or you can have users on virtual domains that don't have a login but still receive mail. Or you might want aliases that include several users, so everybody on the "marketing" list gets mail or all folks in sales, legal or development can receive messages."<br />

====[http://holger123.wordpress.com/2010/11/07/smb-traffic-analyzer-1-1-released/ Holger Hetterich: SMB Traffic Analyzer 1.1 released]====<br />
"The team just released SMB Traffic Analyzer version 1.1. Among many uncounted small fixes and updates, this release features the following:<br><br><br />
The configuration file support in smbtad was incomplete, it did not support all available options. The 1.1 code fixes this (bnc#651800). The resolving of this bug was a requirement to enable LSB compatible start / stop scripts for smbtad (bnc#651112). Therefore, you can now control smbtad with the “rcsmbtad” script, and currently it allows “rcsmbtad start”, “rcsmbtad stop”, and “rcsmbtad status”. This also brings us a step closer to build appliances for SMB Traffic Analyzer. And then we had a compile issue with distributions that include older versions of talloc. The 1.1 code fixes this by providing a missing define should it not exist (bnc#649840) to the smbtad and the smbtatools packages. Therefore we can announce two more distributions to be supported by SMB Traffic Analyzer, that is openSUSE 11.1, and SLES11-SP1 (as well as SLES11). Just check the download page which has been updated with one-click install links for these distributions! Finally we have updated the documentation (bnc#651823) to reflect the configuration news for smbtad and its control through the rcsmbtad script."<br />

"I’ve started doing some packaging of some popular themes on OBS (openSUSE Build Service), starting with those that have a friendly license and 5K+ downloads. I’ve picked for starters Lucidity, which is somehow related to Ubuntu (yeah yeah, I already know how polemical I am).<br><br><br />
At first, the License was CC BY-NC-SA, which is a problem for some distro’s, the example I’m familiar with is Fedora, as ‘NC’ means you can’t push it to Fedora. I’ve contacted the author who promptly helped and swapped the license, now it became CC BY-SA, which should be pretty much compatible with every Linux distro out there."<br />

There I had the pleasure to meet lots of KDE people; Leinir, Frank Karlitschek, Chani, Myriam Schweingruber, Sascha Peilicke, Sivan Greenberg, Mark Kretschmann, Rune Jensen, Arjen Hiemstra, Jonathan, Dinesh, Krzysiek, Knut Yrvin…<br />
After the Ovi sprint, the Qt Developer Days 2010 began. The training sessions took place the first day. Even though some exercises were skipped, I liked it. Days 2 and 3 were focused on showing how cool Qt is. I never thought QML could be that easy, powerful and straightforward. Besides all of the presentations, we also had dinner with the Trolls, played the “fact or crap” game and tried some Meego-powered devices. So yepp, I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward for the 2011 edition :-)"<br />

"Nuno Pinheiro is a artist, working among other things on KDEs icon set. We discussed on the openSUSE conference 2010 about the missing ICC profile mime type icon, and he created a simple, and very well recognizable SVG icon. Personally I like it much."<br />

"The interwebs are full this morning of reports on Mark Shuttleworth’s announcement that someday he’d like to use Wayland instead of Xorg as Ubuntu’s primary display driver. My favorite so far is Ryan Paul’s Ars Technica article for this dead-on estimate of the amount of effort it would take to completely replace X11:<br><br><br />
Although the Linux ecosystem would benefit greatly from a lighter and more easily extensible alternative, a concerted effort to displace X11 on the Linux desktop hasn’t really emerged yet because the task of bringing drivers, third-party software, and all of the other layers of the stack into alignment with such a move would be prohibitively cumbersome. Like, in the sense that using only your toes to build a full-scale replica of the Statue of Liberty out of toothpicks is prohibitively cumbersome."<br />

"Last night I was trying to beauty up my Kraft Homepage a bit and while doing that I realised that half of the allowed transfer volume that is coming with the cheap hosting contract is already eaten up for November. Investigating how that could have happened I found out that Kraft was mentioned in a very nice blog called 10 obscure Linux office applications you need to try. It introduces some interesting apps out of the whole mass of all FOSS apps in that specific area. Kraft is mentioned there, which is of course nice, the author seems to like Kraft. I am, however, not really sure why the word obscure is in the headline of the blog, do you know ;-) ?"<br />

My suggestion is that python 2 be kept the default, but for python packages and bindings that support it, python 3 versions should be made available as well.

TXT provides platform configuration protection such as memory aliasing checks, register locking, etc. It also provides reset protection via a hardware memory lock and memory scrubbing. In multi-processor systems, Intel TXT strengthens the RAS capability through CPU-rooted measurement of the BIOS and hardware-enforced protections of RAS events. Finally, TXT provides for a platform owner -controlled launch control policy. (...)"<br />

"Music loving Linux users take note: Though Amazon hasn't updated its Linux downloader for Amazon MP3 in ages, you can still get your MP3 fix off Amazon using clamz.<br><br><br />
Amazon MP3 offers a really good selection of DRM-free music, including a fairly hefty selection of free songs and sampler albums. But Linux users have been getting the short end of the stick from Amazon lately, because the retail giant rarely updates the MP3 download client for Linux.

As a Kernel developer I usually have one or more machines in a half broken state so being able to continue work in a familiar environment on one of the working ones is important.<br><br><br />
A year ago Gavin, Graham and I worked up a plan to manage and sync home directory dotfiles with git. But, unlike other solutions we didn't want everything in one big git repo. Why? For example on a remote build machine I don't want my abook synced over but I do want my git and vimrc.

Replication is a key technology for any database offering, because databases are typically mission-critical systems. Downtime — or, worse yet, data loss — can result not only in inconvenience to employees and customers but also in lost productivity and lost revenue. By replicating from a primary server, or master, to one or more secondary servers, sometimes called standbys, the probability of data loss or extended downtime can be greatly reduced. (...)"<br />

What is not so good are some comments that oppose need for DKMS. <br><br />
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) ideals are nice, and very special word in that name is Free, like freedom. Creating obstacles that will limit users ability to use what works for them will not help us, nor FOSS. We can recommend opensource software and install it by default, but we can't make sure that it works for everyone, in which case giving that as the only choice is forcing users to give up on Linux, or go elsewhere. Does that help to build user base?"<br />

This column explores recent studies suggesting that open source and proprietary software strengthen each other and should co-exist – too much open source could actually be a bad thing. (...)"<br />

"Koobface is a trojan that has been going around in social networking sites like – Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc. It originally started as a Windows only trojan. But a few days ago, a new variant emerged which can infect both Mac OS X and Linux.<br><br><br />
Infecting a Mac or a Linux system with Koobface is quite tedious. Unlike in Windows, users need to manually download a java applet and give it the permission to run – that should stop the trojan right there for most users. In Linux, it gets even better – even if the applet has been allowed to run and the system has been infected, all that is needed to stop it is a simple reboot. (...)"<br />

For me it’s the first time I attend to FOSS event from such caliber. I’m having my own expectations about it, and it will for sure help me in the work I’ve been doing. I’m also looking forward to meet ‘_the_’ people to which I have interacted with during the last times online. (...)"<br />

The Desktop and the Cloud – Thoughts about Freedom on Thursday morning at 9:30 am. How relevant is the desktop in a world where computing is happening in the cloud?<br><br><br />
The motto for our conference is one of the basic ideas of openSUSE: Collaboration across borders. This is why we are especially proud to have this subject addressed in a keynote by two key people from the free desktop world: Cornelius Schumacher, president of KDE e.V., and Vincent Untz, former president of the GNOME Foundation.

Today the Conference starts at 09:30 with Henne Vogelsangs Talk „Get your ass up!“. He motivates us, not just to talk about what is to do. We should just doing anything and have fun.<br><br><br />
The next Talk i’ve listened was Lubos Lunaks talk about „Easy multi – distribution package builds with the buid service. Lubos explained us, how to use the kde-obs-generator. This Program needs just a singe INFO File with the needed Inforations, and the Program creates from that a *.spec File and two debian*.control Files.

: "As 260 fans of openSUSE descended upon Nuremberg, the second annual openSUSE Conference began at 9:30 sharp with Hendrik “Henne” Vogelsang delivering a very important and poignant message for us all..<br><br><br />
In Henne’s keynote, “Get your ass up!”, he talks about where we are and how we can move forward as a Project. “We’re in a unique position”, Henne said. He asked the audience how old they thought SUSE was. Nobody guessed correctly – it is 18 years. Debian is 17, Red hat 16 – SUSE really has been around a long time. Yet it has only been a really open project for a few years – Henne considers the opening of Factory during 2009 the real milestone here."<br />

"[http://www.flickr.com/photos/adrianschroeter/5101297353/ Yet another foto stream] from the openSUSE conference. You see the desktop leads from KDE and Gnome (Cornelius Schumacher and Vincent Untz) giving a talk about the past and future of the free desktop, Stephan Kulow about the future of the distribution, Bernhard Wiedemann about QA testing and so on.<br><br><br />
Most important may be the presentation of the openSUSE board (mainly by Pascal Bleser) how they plan to found an independent foundation for openSUSE as non-profit organization. An important rule of that foundation is that it is independent of any company (no majority of Novell here) but can handle sponsoring, partnering and trademark questions.<br><br><br />
We had also very filled rooms during the OBS talks, but I was unable to take pictures at that point of time unfortunately ;)<br><br><br />

"Yogyakarta is one of the tourism destination in Indonesia. The unique Javanise tradition blend with some acculturation from outside culture. Recently I was asked by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and Office of Education, Youth and Sport of Yogyakarta to help them to prepare the computer lab for elementary and junior high school in Yogyakarta Province – Indonesia.<br><br><br />
Well, this is the tough job. I work with some expert, teacher and education strategist to prepare the e-learning system. We should prepare learning/teaching material in digital format, train the teacher to use authoring tools and operating system, and prepare the schools to be ready to receive the PC’s. This government initiative will involve 500 schools in 3 years. Every school that involve in this program will receive 21 PCs.<br><br><br />
We select openSUSE Li-f-e as the operating system in every pc. The selection is not because I’m an openSUSE member but we come to the conclusion that openSUSE Li-f-e is the most complete and well prepare distribution for education (well, I convince other expert, some of them are Ph.D, he..he…). This year there are 110 schools involve in this program, this means another new 2310 openSUSE installation and more than 4000 new users if we assume that every PC will be used by 2 students.

On a free software desktop, this is rarely a problem, because significant work has gone into making CUPS, Foomatic, and other parts of the printing tool chain work well and integrate seamlessly into the application suite — at least, for the typical “office” document. There are still a few things the average user can do to enhance the quality of prints from graphics applications like GIMP. Some are common to all raster image editors but which you might need a refresher course on, and some of which are more specialized.

"So we've probably all seen the mock-ups for Firefox 4.0 by now, but has any of it been implemented? In the Windows version, yes. On the GNU+Linux version, partially. And it looks like it's going to stay that way. I'm going to show you what's different in the current development version (nightly 4.0b8pre) from 3.6.<br><br><br />
First up: Firefox 4.0 has great support for the new HTML5 specifications like CSS3, Canvas, Offline Web Applications, Drag-and-Drop interaction, Geolocation, SVG, Animated SVG, Video tag, Audio tag, WebM, and so much more. HTML5 is now very popular on the web, but because many people use older web browsers or web browsers that don't support such new features, web sites are designed to work despite a lack of support for HTML5. So while these are great features, you might not notice them or necessarily want to use them, I will not be talking about them much here. This is the state of Firefox 4.0 on GNU+Linux."<br />

: "I'm sure I'm not the only one to not notice wp in the man page after finding se, or forget that se is not full search. When zypper se finds nothing, it should either suggest to use zypper wp instead, or just rerun itself substituting wp for se."<br />

====[https://features.opensuse.org/310697 #310697: Deliver kde with pulseaudio]====<br />
: "I use kde4 with pulseaudio since opensuse-11.2 and once setup, it really works much nicer than the suse-default alsa-setup.<br />
There is already support in kmix for volume and moving streams (still missing some functionality from pavu-control, someone should continue the work on kmix..). (...)"<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310701 #310701: package byobu in an opensuse repository]====<br />
: "Would be great if anyone using opensuse could zypper in byobu . Unfortunately it's not in any opensuse repo despite it being a great tool for administrating linux servers. I'm quite surprised this isn't already available for opensuse. Would be a nice addition for 11.4."<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310704 #310704: Update emacs to 23.2]====<br />
: "Please upgrade emacs to 23.2. It has many improvments, you can read here: http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs23.2_features.html"<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310706 #310706: zypper: allow to adjust proposed solver solution]====<br />
: "It would be nice if it would be possible to change the solver solution at the point when the installation summary is shown and zypper prompts whether to continue. This would allow the user to conveniently remove unwanted packages automatically chosen for installation, add another package, etc. This is especially needed if it is difficult to work one's way to the solution (in case of many dependency problems, e.g. during an upgrade).<br />
Removing, adding, and keeping an installed version of a package could be implemented as part of this feature request first. Further enhancements can be done later."<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310709 #310709: Dazuko]====<br />
: "Dazuko has been a long time feature of this operating system and it is no longer found. Please return this feature as it is very helpful to catch viruses in action."<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310710 #310710: Integrate the functionality of "fusermount -u" into umount]====<br />
: "It is confusing that FUSE mount points need a different command to unmount them than everything else. Historically FUSE had to bring its own command, because traditional umount refuses umounting of mounts that are not in /etc/fstab for non-privileged users. But now that FUSE has become mainstream, I think it is time to integrate it better and get rid of the need for "fusermount -u". So my proposal is to either add the implementation of the "fusermount -u" functionality to mount, or let it execute "fusermount -u" as a subprocess for FUSE mountpoints. As root can already use umount for FUSE mount points, it probably doesn't need more than skipping the /etc/fstab test when umount is called on a FUSE mountpoint that is owned by the calling user."<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310712 #310712: Constantly usable Factory]====<br />
: "I recently read about the Debain CUT project, ( http://cut.debian.net/ , http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/debian/cut/ )<br />
looking at the current situation with openSuSE Factory i see that it is dangerous to use, unstable alpha or beta packages come into Factory all the time, while other packages become out of date. The result is a system that is pretty much unusable. (...)"<br />

: "put /etc under (git) version control to track changes made to the configuration, merge new configuration options coming from package updates / security fixes an handle the case where RPM decides to create a .rpmsave - where a administrator would need to migrate all changes from the old version to the new one in order to not end up with an unusable system upon reboot.

====[https://features.opensuse.org/310714 #310714: Bring TabCandy-like functionality to desktops]====<br />
: "I don't know if anyone here has used TabCandy (now called Panorama - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVdlSXiX1c4 ) by Firefox but I think the concept would be PERFECT for desktops, sort of a better way of doing Desktop Activities. Some of the great things about it: (...)"<br />

: "In October 1-3, we participated to the celebrations for 100 years Scouting in Greece. The last day was dedicated to animals since it was their world day celebration.<br />
We were guests of GreekLUG. The main idea was to run a future park. Since the audience was mainly kids, we setup computers running network games and games in general.<br><br><br />
As community, we made some Geeko origami some Geekos out of empty bottles and plaster. We also informed people about FOSS and openSUSE. Main concern of the adults was if it's easy and if it runs with windows dual boot.<br><br><br />
We gave about 50 PromoDVDs and some leafs where they can find help in Greek.<br><br><br />

At that time, I said that I could not reveal the exact nature of the program. I still cannot reveal the exact nature of the program, but I am releasing more of the source code under the GNU GPL license version 3. If you look at this code, run and compile it, you may glean a few more hints as to what kind of program I am actually aiming to write. in this article, I will reveal a few more details as to how I came up with this program idea.

MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card’s read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer’s registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address. (...)"<br />

: "After many years of service, it seems that the good old bootsplash is slowly going on retirement. Although there were a few attempts to replace the aging bootsplash (Splashy, usplash, ..), it is Plymouth that positions itself the best as the standard bootsplash of modern distributions. Developped by Fedora, Plymouth supports is a logger and a splash system that supports advanced animations when booting and brings a non flickering, professional looking boot similar to what we can observe under other operating systems.<br />
Plymouth was first included in Fedora 10 “Cambridge” shipped on November 2008, Mandriva switched from splashy to plymouth with in Automn 2009, and Ubuntu includes it since the 10.04 release shipped on April of this year. However, despite being the actual second most voted feature on openFATE, Plymouth hasn’t been integrated in openSUSE yet, mainly because nobody took time to “make it happens“."<br />

: "There’s nothing quite like looking at a new Linux version—especially a minor release that promises to bring so much to the user as does OpenSUSE’s latest effort: 11.4. OpenSUSE 11.4 might prove to be the best upgrade since the leap from OpenSUSE 10.X to 11.X. Though these early “Milestones” as they’re called, are alpha versions, 11.4 Milestone 2 is very stable and surprisingly responsive, even installed into a virtual machine the speed enrichments are quite striking. That performance boost is one of the big improvements over earlier versions with 11.4’s new kernel (2.6.36) and updated Xorg packages. Expect impressive boot times and enhanced performance for application launches. (...)"<br />

Smeegol is based on the netbook user interface that came from the MeeGo(TM)* project. Smeegol offers the latest Banshee’s powerful music player, a newer Evolution Express as mail and agenda client and several additional social networks.<br />
The MeeGo project, a collaborative effort by Nokia, Intel and a quickly growing community of volunteers under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, aims to create an operating system designed for small-formfactor devices with limited computing power and screen estate. Think about platforms such as netbooks/entry-level desktops, handheld computing and communications devices, in-vehicle infotainment devices, connected TVs, and media phones. Novell is a part of the MeeGo effort, working with the Linux Foundation on their build infrastructure and official MeeGo products. MeeGo is using increasingly more openSUSE technology, including zypper and other system management tools."<br />

:"The last week we again received over 100 comments on the first and second part of our strategy. A few refinements came in on our description of our target users, but most of the input was on the second part about what we offer. We have again incorporated all the comments into the document and a new iteration can be found on co-ment.<br />
And now, the third piece of text has been added: What does openSUSE not do? Besides this, we added some ‘background information’ to the strategy, including ideas on our competition, what openSUSE might gain and loose from this strategy and how openSUSE should look like in 2 years from now.<br />
Like with “Target Users” and “What does openSUSE offer it’s users” we would really appreciate it if you could give your input on co-ment but we will accept any kind of input on any channel we can follow. So if co-ment isn’t your thing, feel free to comment below this post, on the forums or anywhere else. For those new to co-ment – it is a pretty awesome commenting tool under the GNU Affero GPL."<br />

: "Fellow openSUSE users! Of course you have anxiously been waiting for the GNOME 2.32 release. We all have. It took us a few moments to prepare a repository that we can offer you in order to update your openSUSE 11.3 installation, which was based on GNOME 2.30, to the latest and greatest GNOME 2.32!<br />
After having GNOME 2.32 prepared for openSUSE:Factory we decided to branch this off to also have our openSUSE 11.3 users profit from it. It showed that all in all the release was a rther simple one to offer. So no reason to not to!"<br />

====[http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Bryen/~3/PdvQPxnSYog/ Bryen Yunashko: Still devastated]====<br />
: "It is Monday morning and almost time to get ready for work at the GNOME-A11y hackfest in Sevilla, Spain. As much as I’m looking forward to the week, I’m still very depressed about what happened this weekend.<br />
On Saturday morning, just as I was leaving Barcelona to head down to Sevilla, I got robbed. I was at the bus depot waiting for the airport shuttle bus to take me to BCN when I put down my laptop bag and camera bag so I could pull out my white cane. Barely a moment passed by when all of a sudden I got jostled and in that split second… whoever it was was gone and so were my two shoulder bags. Why couldn’t they have stolen my suitcases instead of this???"<br />

Meanwhile, the openSUSE marketing team is doing more work - getting articles out on the technologies we have, developing materials for our ambassadors and of course promoting the conference. However, no matter how much they do - they need help."<br />

He is someone that has dedicated a significant amount of his time and effort throughout his life to spread awareness about accessibility. This month he is traveling in Europe to help further this effort. Unfortunately, while he was in Spain he was robbed. There are several of us that have thought about trying to raise some money to replace these items."<br />

:"I just published/send/submitted the last part of the openSUSE strategy stuff. Coming from KDE, this was a very interesting endeavor. It's not done yet, of course - I expect a huge amount of comments on this one (find it here) as it includes some notes on our 'competition' (coopetition?), what the results will be and how we'd like to be in a few years.<br />
I know the KDE community is also looking at future directions - KDE 4 series is stabilizing, so where to go next? GNOME meanwhile is getting GNOME 3 out - but at the same time also had strategical discussions at the last GUADEMY. And of course Fedora has followed openSUSE in discussing directions. Guess it's contagious..."<br />

====[http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/10/03/checking-epubs/ Thomas Schraitle: Checking EPUBs]====<br />
: "EPUBs are getting more and more important thesedays. If you believe the essays from well-informed magazines, they will develop into a standard for book and text consumption as MP3 did for audio.<br />
Today, lots of e-book readers are available and more will be ready in the future. Apart from the problem, if an e-book reader supports EPUB, the EPUB file itself has to adhere to certain specifications. This is the task for epubcheck, a commandline utility which validates an EPUB file.<br />
The RPM package can be found in my OBS repository home:thomas-schraitle as usual. To use it, just run epubcheck with your EPUB file and see what it finds. Have fun!"<br />

====[http://packman.links2linux.org/package/imagination Packman: imagination 2.1.1-0]====<br />
: "Imagination is a lightweight and simple DVD slide show maker written in C language and built with the GTK+2 toolkit. I noticed a lack on the Linux platform of a user-friendly DVD slide show maker, so I started developing Imagination. True, there are some other GUIs which do the job, but they usually require a lot of dependencies to be installed first. Imagination has been designed from the ground up to be fast, light and easy-to-use. It requires the ffmpeg encoder ONLY to produce the movie file - to be burned to DVD then with another application. Yes you don't need any other third-party software, I like the KISS principle :)<br />
Imagination at present features 26 transitions effects developed as plugins loaded at startup. Exporting of the slideshow as FLV format is supported. No sound and Ken Burns effects yet but they are planned in the next release."<br />

Brushes in The GIMP allow the user to extend The GIMP’s flexibility by creating different ways to draw with effect or style. Brushes can be any number of styles from either standard drawing tool brushes to more artistic brushes.

====[http://blog.cornelius-schumacher.de/2010/10/role-of-kde-ev.html Cornelius Schumacher: The role of KDE e.V.]====<br />
: "I wrote this article for KDE e.V.'s quarterly report Q2 2010. I'll reproduce it here in case you haven't seen it yet.<br />
<br />
From time to time we hear the question, what actually is KDE e.V., what's its role in the KDE community? Let me try to answer this question here.<br />
<br />
In short, KDE e.V. is the organization, which represents, supports, and provides governance to the KDE community. It gives the community a legal body so it can participate in activities which require a legal representation, somebody handling money, or a way to legitimize individuals to speak and act for the community."<br />
====[http://nmarques.digitalwhores.net/2010/10/02/fortune-favors-the-bold/ Nelson Marques: Fortune favors the bold!]====<br />
: "2010 will for sure be the ‘year of strategy’, as I’m seeing many people in several distributions (ex: Fedora, openSUSE) placing an awesome effort into it.<br />
During what I’ve seen from many strategical teams working on the field, there is one thing that came into my attention, and which has actually been giving me lots of thinking around it… ‘user base’ definitions… There is a huge concern about technical skilled individuals and integrating them into the community, and often the most less demanding users are often ignored or at some point marginalized… Why does this happen? Lets think about this ‘less technical oriented’ users and their needs and how they fullfil them!"<br />
====[http://metaverse.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/welcome-libreoffice/ Mike McCallister: Welcome LibreOffice!]====<br />
: "It’s been more than a week now since the Great OpenOffice Fork of 2010, and the dust is beginning to settle.<br />
If you haven’t heard, last Monday a large chunk of the OpenOffice.org (OOo) development community announced the formation of The Document Foundation (TDF), and would create a new office suite based on OOo, called LibreOffice. The announcement carried endorsements from many heavy hitters in the open source and corporate worlds, including Google, Novell, Red Hat, and Canonical. Even the GNOME Foundation (while noting the existence of its own small suite) had nice things to say at the launch."<br />

: "A couple weeks ago when I was strolled around Oracle's incredibly synergized (but unfortunately yacht-less) conference I noticed that SUSE and VMWare were quite chummy on the show floor. It seems that Novell's push of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), openSUSE's more refined older brother, into the virtualization space is a lot bigger than just SUSE Studio.<br />
VMWare is one thing, but what about the biggest cloud out there, you know, Amazon's EC2 service? Turns out Amazon EC2 now supports SUSE Linux Enterprise Server."<br />
====[http://nowwhatthe.blogspot.com/2010/10/smeegol-conferences-and-cash.html Jos Poortvliet: Smeegol, Conferences and cash]====<br />
: "Lots of good news today!.First of all, the openSUSE community's Smeegol team has managed to get SmeeGol 1.0 out!.<br />
And I'm proud of them, because:<br />
* We are beating both Fedora and MeeGo itself in delivering the latest MeeGo software<br />
* AND we do it while shipping newer software (Banshee etc)<br />
* AND we have one-click-install for openSUSE users & SUSE Studio images ready to be cloned so anyone can make their own version!!!! I already made a clone with some multimedia additions for myself... Too bad testdrive doesn't work with Smeegol :(<br />
* AND it's a true community effort, where volunteers from all sides of openSUSE have worked on!<br />

====[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/30/google_webp/ The Register/Cade Metz: Google open sources JPEG assassin]====<br />
: "Google has open sourced a new "lossy" image format known as WebP — pronounced "weppy" — claiming it can cut the size of current web images by almost 40 per cent.<br />
[http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20018146-264.html CNet] revealed the format with a story late this morning, and Google soon followed with a [http://blog.chromium.org/2010/09/webp-new-image-format-for-web.html blog post] describing the technology, which has been released as a [http://code.google.com/speed/webp/index.html developer preview]. WebP is derived from VP8, the video codec Google acquired with its purchase of On2 Technologies earlier this year and [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/20/google_confident_on_vp8_and_patents/ promptly open sourced] as part of the new WebM format."<br />
====[http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GoogleOpenSourceBlog/~3/EPiGREHOinw/google-summer-of-code-report-worldforge.html Google Summer of Code report: WorldForge]====<br />
: "For the third time in a row, Worldforge participated in Google Summer of Code, with three students completing the program this year. Worldforge is the original open-source Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) project, so it’s great at getting students who are interested in games into open source.<br />
This post showcases some of the work done by one of our students, Tiberiu Paunescu, to implement a series of improvements to the Ember UI. These improvements were all end-user focused and meant to provide a better and more streamlined user experience.<br />
The first feature implemented was an improvement to the inventory which makes it possible to drag items from the inventory widget into the world, and place them there. When an item is dragged off the inventory and into the world a preview model is created, showing where the item will end up."<br />

: "The world is awash in data. This fact is putting more and more pressure on file systems to efficiently scale to handle increasingly large amounts of data. Recently, Ric Wheeler from Redhat experimented with putting 1 Billion files in a single file system to understand what problems/issues the Linux community might face in the future.

====[http://news.opensuse.org/2010/09/27/opensuse-target-aquired/ openSUSE: Target Aquired]====<br />
: "Over the last week you have all given input on the new strategy document describing the target users of openSUSE. It saw quite a bit of rewriting and rephrasing but it seems the description fitted most of your perceptions. We have incorporated all the comments into the document and a new iteration can be found on co-ment.<br />
Furthermore, the next piece of text has been added: What does openSUSE offer its users? Like with “Target Users”, we would really appreciate it if you could give your input on co-ment but we will accept any kind of input on any channel we can follow. So if co-ment isn’t your thing, feel free to comment below this post, on the forums or anywhere else. For those new to co-ment – it is a pretty awesome commenting tool under the GNU Affero GPL.<br />
Giving your input on co-ment will make the discussion a bit more structured and easier for everyone to follow. How-to: select some text you want to comment on (a word, a few words, a sentence) and choose the little yellow + sign on the top-left of the page to add your comment. If you click a colored section of the text, you can see the comments which have been made to that section it and add your own voice to the discussion. Easy peasy!<br />
You can find the document here. And for reference here the openSUSE Strategy portal on the wiki. Please have fun!"<br />

: "Last week our Ambassadors did what they do every week: promote openSUSE. They went to meetings, conferences and tradeshows for a talk or staffing a booth. And they organized meetings, gave students lessons in using openSUSE, handed out DVD’s and valuable knowledge.<br />
Many visitors of this site have no idea how active our ambassadors really are. The amount of work they do is amazing and they deserve a bit more of a spotlight on what they do! Their reports are usually highlighted in our weekly news, be sure to check their work out each week.<br />
Read on for a short selection of reports which came in over the last week by the openSUSE ambassadors. And note that we get reports like this almost every day! Some come in the form of text, others like this one by Bruno about attending FrOSCamp 2010 in Zürich are in the form of a nice presentation (very much worth a look)."<br />

:"Everyone familiar with SUSE Linux will definitely know or at least have heard about YaST (Yet another Setup Tool). It is one of the many unique features SUSE has over other Linux distributions and makes the otherwise tricky system configuration a snap. These configurations include hardware, network, services, security, and many more.<br />
: YaST has evolved over the years to include many different front-ends, such as those for GNOME, KDE, and text consoles (ncurses). The most recent addition is a web-based front-end called WebYaST. It simplifies remote system administration and configuration - you don't have to SSH into the system anymore, all you need is a web browser.<br />
: It is now easy to include WebYaST in your Studio appliances. Simply go to the appliance editor and select the Enable WebYaST option under the additional options section of the configuration tab (for SLE11 SP1, openSUSE 11.3 only):"<br />

So some modules just have bug fixes, with their cool new features incubating for 3.0. Still, there are some neat changes in there: for instance, metacontacts in Empathy will certainly make people happy, and the SyncTeX support in Evince is just amazing! With the inclusion of Rygel and gnome-color-manager, we also move GNOME closer to the perfect desktop ;-)"<br />

: "In less than a month we will have the openSUSE Conference 2010 with the motto "Collaboration across Borders". So I think it's a good time to fix this.<br />
The openSUSE Build Service is a great tool, and with mostly just some "Substitutes" you can have a single spec file, mostly without %if's, that will build in any RPM-based distro. Now in my experience one of the most problematic things is the %suse_update_desktop_files macro. That forces to add ugly "%if 0%{?suse_version}" to every package with a .desktop file. (...)"<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310622 #310622: Run xserver without root privileges]====<br />
: "Now that we have KMS enabled in the distribution we are a step closer of being able to run the xserver with just user privileges, and thus making openSUSE more secure. About a year ago I read a blog post of a moblin developer stating that achieving this is not that hard, but I've yet to see another distro achieving it. Nevertheless I think we can start to think about it."<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310623 #310623: Please bring SCPM back to Suse]====<br />
: "SCPM is one of the major components (among others) for why I prefer to use Suse over other distros. I use SCPM for changing many configuration values for hardware and software cleanly, through one tool, instead of dozens, between when plugged into very different docking stations between work and home, when at home undocked, when roaming at coffee shops, when locked down for work or client sites, when broadcasting live shows at various locations, or when setting up different hardware profiles with different components connected and keeping the configuration consistent for that profile, printers, firewall rules, etc. (...)"<br />
====[https://features.opensuse.org/310643 #310643: Easier System Configuration with KDE]====<br />
: "I'm not sure if this needs to be brought up on this forum, on a KDE project forum, or both. I find display monitor configuration navigation to be confusing and difficult in openSUSE 11.3 with KDE. I also find the inability to configure my Logitech mouse behavior (double-click speed etc.) to be a significant problem for some users. I have found openSUSE with Gnome to be much better in the area of mouse configuration."<br />

: Selecting the kernel-desktop during a minimal-server-install lead to more works for admin.<br />

Wiki's don't offer the ease and real-time collaboration features needed so piratepad is perfect. Except that it isn't. Piratepad has some serious issues (see "Why do we want this?").

====[http://nmarques.digitalwhores.net/2010/09/25/marketing-opensuse-conference-across-borders/ Nelson Marques: Marketing @ openSUSE Conference, Across Borders!]====<br />
: "I’ll be conducting a small talk at openSUSE Conference 2010 in Nuremberg in the next 23rd October. My goal isn’t about teaching or lecturing anything, but instead make people more sensible to marketing activities and how it could be used more effectively within free software projects.<br />
I’ve called it “The Concept of Marketing and FOSS Communities”. That’s where it starts for anyone who jumped in into Marketing. Historically, Marketing started being debated by the Academy around 150 years ago and some have very serious criticism about Marketing as a science… In fact Marketing is made of pieces from another sciences like Anthropology, Psychology, Management, etc. I skip this fight, it’s irrelevant. Historically, no one needed marketing when ‘offer < demand’ was verified, but when it changed to the opposite ‘offer > demand’, people started to look into Marketing. So far this hasn’t much to do with FOSS reality, though it might have for the future and being aware of this is always a good point, despite of the FOSS philosophy promoting a different set of values from those who are typically associated with ‘sales’."<br />

So.. I’m actually in Europe to work! Not play. And I’ll give dedicated posts to the two events I’ll be at this month, but quickly, I’m attending the GNOME-A11y hackfest/AEGIS Conference in Sevilla, Spain. This is a solid week of work. And later in October, I’ll be headed up to Germany for the openSUSE conference.<br />
Kinda hard to call this work when you know you’ll be around friends you’ve made online and have met previously. But for today, I’d like to just take a moment to thank sponsors that are making these events accessible to me. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the full benefits of the conferences and for that I’m deeply grateful."<br />

: "In a little over a month, the openSUSE conference 2010 will start under the title “collaboration accross borders”. This article highlights one of the main topics at this conference — a truly border-crossing technology called the Build Service. This technology helps developers target many different linux distributions with their software quickly and easily, and the openSUSE conference offers the perfect opportunity to get some “inside information” and share ideas towards fast-tracking the software packaging process. Read on to learn more about the Build Service and what it can do for you!"<br />

: "The openSUSE Conference brings together users, contributors and friends of the openSUSE project from 20th to 23rd October in Nuremberg, Germany. Over four days, more than seventy talks and workshops explore the theme of ‘Collaboration Across Borders‘ in Free and Open Source software communities, administration and development. The conference is the yearly get-together of the openSUSE project to give its people a chance to meet face to face, talk to and inspire each other. It takes place in the Berufsförderungswerk Nuremberg in the beautiful surroundings of the Franconian metropole. Everybody interested is welcome to join and enjoy the program which starts each day at 9am, the admission is free."<br />

:"In case you haven't heard about The Disters Contest yet, check it out now. We are looking for the best appliances in two categories, community and commercial. The winners will get $10,000 each. So don't wait, go to SUSE Studio, build your appliance, publish it on SUSE Gallery, and submit it to the contest. While there is still some time before the contest closes, don't wait with publishing it. You still have time to refine it, and you will get valuable feedback. The proven "release early, release often" philosophy applies here as well."<br />
<pre><br />
@Sascha<br />
The time-stamp of the original article is "August 6"<br />
and we have already introduced this topic<br />
for several times.<br />
And, I think "Distribution" isn't a good place <br />
for this article, at least.<br />
I can understand you want to remind readers<br />
that the deadline of this contest is about to end.<br />
So, I'd recommend you to:<br />
1. write down Editor's Note and mention this topic in it.<br />
2. move this topic to "Announcement" and add "Reminder: "<br />
at the beginning of the title.<br />

: This would not help unify the linux systems, but on an end-user experience, it is a little easier than the command line (no learning required - Dangerous!

: "Finally I am home from FrOSCamp now, it was a hard weekend and I slept not much. I started thursday in the evening and picked Alex in Nuremberg arround 9pm adn after another 500km ride we arrived in the morning in Zurich. Then begun an hopeless search for an parking ground. Zurich is definitly an tourist/car driver unfriendly city. Its not that you cant find a place for you car its more that you cant find a place without paying. So on the end I used a parking place I search in the net before I started to Zurich, it was the cheapest I can find, only problem you had the right to park there for 15 hours. The funny thing was, you can pay for more there :D The machine took Euro money, but the automat for the tram doesnt take Euro or paper money. So if you plan a trip to Zurich is definitly the better choice to take the train or plane and make sure you have some coins for the tram."<br />

: The main idea there was to organize some games for the kids. Unfortunately we didn't have the equipment to install couple of games (like Super Tux).

: We started sfd with demonstration of CMS, we showed fresh installation and tweaking of software from http://opensourcecms.com This took a couple of hours because the process was challenging and over a wireless link sometimes falling at 2mb.<br />
: Coffee break and we struggled our way into FOSS games. The audience was quite interested that you could use Linux to work but also to play games and some of them are "clones" of Windows games. We gave some advice on using Wine, but demonstrated that installation of openSUSE 11.3 alongside with Windows would be their best bet. Dual booting and showing how to configure in Yast.<br />

====[http://www.matthewehle.info/blog/?p=113 Matthew Ehle: Diaspora on openSUSE]====<br />
: "A possible milestone in the world of social networking was reached a few days ago, as the developers announced the pre-alpha release of the Diaspora project. While there is ample instruction on their wiki for installing a seed on Ubuntu, there is no documentation on getting one running on SUSE Linux, especially in Apache. However, after some tinkering around, I have successfully installed and set it my own Diaspora seed. Here is what I did for openSUSE 11.3:<br />
'''Warning'''<br />
This application is pre-alpha quality (i.e. minimal functionality). While the Diaspora team has released the source code and some basic installation instructions, there is absolutely no support right now. In addition, the application has a lot of security holes, as this article points out. On top of that, you will have to install a lot of software, which always carries the risk of messing up your system.<br />
While I am happy to answer some basic questions about what I did, I am not a Ruby expert and will probably not be able to help on most specific problems. If you do this, it is at your own risk!"<br />
====[http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/omgsuse/~3/dQ4Ne6nOOUc/bertel-beat-thoughts-strategy OMG!SUSE! team: The Bertel Beat: Thoughts on strategy]====<br />
: "The openSUSE project has been re-evaluating its direction as of late, and today I checked out the current draft of the new openSUSE vision, available here. Linked from the post is an evolving document on identifying the openSUSE project's target user, it reads:<br />
"The target users of openSUSE are people who need to get work done, and want something stable and usable for their every day needs. They are users who are interested in technology, willing to learn if needed, capable of reading documentation or asking questions on forums. But also people who don't want to do that if they don't have to. In short, the productivity-focussed professional. This includes powerusers, developers, system administrators but also office workers who sit behind a computer all day. A convenient definition would be someone who regularly reads computer magazines or technology sites and works with computers a lot. So we are NOT targeting people who don't use a computer very often - if your grandma only checks mail and Facebook once a week, give her a Netbook interface like MeeGo or Plasma Netbook, not the default openSUSE Plasma or GNOME desktops.<br />
<br />
Our user wants control over his or her computing experience - but at the same time doesn't want to WASTE time - things should work out of the box and offer flexibility and configurability only where needed. And this user is empowered to help his or her favorite distribution - it is easy to contribute back to openSUSE!""<br />

: "So after a week of preparation and a couple more weeks of frustration and perseverance, my somewhat ancient laptop has transformed from a dual-boot Kubuntu/Windows XP system to a dual-boot openSUSE 11.3/Windows XP system.<br />
The whole process wasn’t really as bad as I’d feared, nor as bad as you might think after reading that lead paragraph. I pretty much thought I’d have to reformat my hard drive and start over and backed up all my data accordingly. Once I did that, I remembered to install Windows first, even though I never ran into any issues when I earlier installed Windows on what it considered the H: drive."<br />

What is a Webinar?<br />
A Webinar is a free Trainingvideo with different Topics. Each new Webinar has a new Topic. The whole Training is a Video in a Flashplayer, that contains a talk and you can see the Slides or the stuff what makes the Man (Women) who gives the Talk. Before you can access the Webinar, you must request a Session-Key, what you can do there. On the Registersite you just must place your Name, Emailadress and Company, and in the next Step you got the Key. That Key you put in the next Page, and then you have access to see the Video. As Extra Present you can also Download that as OGG. The Webinars are interesting, and if i haven’t understand anything, i can go back and hear it another Time."<br />

: "There’s a certain movement these days in the world of GNU/Linux distributions. I think we are experiencing one of these moments that starts with a question that has been asked and heard many times -should distros differentiate themselves in order to survive? & aren’t there too many distros out there?- and ends with a much more serious question: Innovating in the world of GNU/Linux. Rest assured this is not going to be that sort of rant where we conclude that “Linux is the copycat of other OSes” just like we will not, in fact answer the question of the pretendly too many distributions or their differentiation. That is, I will not really answer these questions; and the reason I won’t is that I think these are all bad questions that either miss the point or show a certain lack of understanding of FOSS and GNU/Linux in general.<br />

====[http://nowwhatthe.blogspot.com/2010/09/directions-opensuse-and-fedora.html Jos Poortvliet: directions - openSUSE and Fedora]====<br />
:"Interestingly enough, in parallel to our discussion about where we're going, Fedora is also discussing strategy. One particularly good blog post by Máirín Duffy about target users of Fedora offers some interesting insights.<br />
: '''Situation'''<br />
: On Fedora, there are basically four repositories:<br />
: * Stable - end user product<br />
: * Testing - stabilisation tree<br />
: * Rawhide - development tree (our factory)<br />
: * Kopers - personal repositories (bit like our Build Service home projects)<br />
: As you might know, Fedora Stable does currently receive quite some package updates over it's lifecycle - catering to users who want the latest software. The downside of this is that it sacrifices stability - you can't have your cake and eat it too. And for some users - even that isn't enough. They want the latest Banshee when it is released right away - not wait for it to mature in Testing. So they have to enable Rawhide repositories - often bringing in far more unstable software than just Banshee or whatever they're after. And that software is build against a whole different stack - Rawhide has moved beyond stable of course, adding things like a newer glib or other base libraries and building against a newer GCC. All this creates a significant risk for instability."<br />

: "The weekend has come and gone and I’ve had a great weekend at the Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus, Ohio. A bit busy and intense at times as I was wearing my two hats… both representing openSUSE and representing GNOME-A11y.<br />
: So, I got there on Friday morning and checked out the only two sessions I could make time to see for the whole weekend. Unfortunately, ASL interpreters I had arranged for to assist me over the weekend had backed out so I was very lost communication-wise for the most part during the weekend. But I persevered….<br />
: I checked out the sessions led by Mel Chua (Red Hat’s Community Education Engineer) and Robyn Bergeron (Fedora Marketing lead). I had befriended both of them just a couple of months earlier at the Community Leadership Summit. Even though I wasn’t going to have an interpreter present, I went to see both sessions because I’m always supportive of those whom I know and go to their sessions as a show of support whenever I can."<br />

====[http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/linux-file-structure.html Linux File Structure]====<br />
: "There are many differences between Linux and a MS-Windows system, but the most noticeable and beneficial is the file system. In Linux we do not use drive letters to symbolize different partitions or drives. Under Linux, there is one main directory the / or root directory. You can relate this to the C: drive under MS-Windows. Each directory can be a directory or a mounted partition.<br />
: The main directory is called the root directory, and it's denoted with a single slash (/). This concept may seem strange, but it actually makes life easy for you when you want to add more space. As an example, lets say you are running out of space in your home directory, in Linux you can hook a new hard drive up to your computer, copy the files from your home directory to it and mount it as your /home directory. This functionality allows a lot less modification and trouble when expanding your system."<br />

====[http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-dot-xdefaults.html Pascal Bleser: My dot Xdefaults]====<br />
: "~/.Xdefaults is the configuration file for all X applications and while most nowadays provide configuration interfaces, some can only be configured there. rxvt-unicode is one of them, but it's probably the fastest X terminal emulator available today, both in terms of startup and render times. It is also exceptionally good at rendering unicode.<br />
: The default colors in terminals are quite.. well, let's say "flashy" and not necessarily sweet on the eye, to say the least. Some months ago, I ran over an Xdefaults configuration for rxvt-unicode that changes those colors to a nice-on-the-eye, consistent set of darker colors, which fit exceptionally well in a terminal with a black background. Unfortunately, I don't have the URL any more, and all credits go to the original author."<br />

: "One of the most useful deployment scenario for Linux in enterprise or educational environment is a fileserver with on access virus scanning, to serve Windows PCs on the network of course. Long ago there used to be samba-vscan that worked very nicely, it went missing in openSUSE 11.2 so dazuko kernel module worked in its place. On 11.3 dazuko is no longer available, enter dazukofs.<br />
: DazukoFS is a stack-able filesystem for virus scanning, here is how it works:<br />
: Install clamav, clamav-db and dazukofs, dazukofs-kmp-yourkernelflavor via 1-click."<br />

: "This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with Apache2 on an OpenSUSE 11.3 server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the Apache server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files. (...)"<br />

: "Here is the long awaited review of some of the developments on the launch menu sector. Please take notice that because of the great variety of menus out there, I will make mistakes in their names. They could be called "start menu," "launcher," etc. So please, bear with me through this post. Hopefully putting these menus side by side will help us make sense of what we use in order to launch applications on our operating systems.<br />

====[http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/09/14/another-opensuse-kernel-git-repo/ Michal Marek: Another openSUSE kernel git repo]====<br />
:"The mirror of the openSUSE kernel-source repository has been around for several months already, now there is something new: A repository that is actually usable :-) . The current kernel-source repository is a series of patches managed in git, which has some upsides, like the ability to easily cherry-pick a patch and port it to a different branch or send it upstream. But it is quite painful if you want to work with the code itself and not with patch files. A task as simple as determining if drivers/…/foo.c in openSUSE-11.3 has or does not have a certain change requires checking out the branch and running the sequence-patch script to be able to look at the file. If you need to know when was the file changed, you have to run ‘quilt patches <file>’ to find out what patches touched the file and then ask git about the history of these patches. Neither convenient nor efficient. That’s why we have a second repository, that contains the mainline tree with all the suse patches applied. It’s located at http://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel, the clone url is git://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel.git."<br />

: A quick disclaimer: Novell is my former employer. I left the company at the end of January, and as far as I know the $2 billion offer from Elliott Associates wasn’t even in discussions then. At any rate, I don’t have any inside knowledge (call me, Ian…) so what you’re reading here is pure (if educated) speculation. I don’t have any vested interest in the buyer, except a hope that my former colleagues will land with a company that will treat them well and respect the openSUSE Project."<br />

: "From a small chit chat on IRC the other day with Bryen and Sirko somehow I ended up with the task to providing an article about openSUSE Build Service. I have to say Sirko is awesome in Guerrilla Marketing, a cool proof could be the way how he got me into this.

====[http://kdeatopensuse.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/kde-week-33-39/ KDE at openSUSE: KDE: Week 33-39]====<br />
: "'''Nepomuk+strigi as desktop search'''<br />
: In the last weeks I – once again – got fed-up with strigi/nepomuk being of no use to me. Since KDE 4.0 I long for a desktop search, i.e. some way of finding files and getting a result list such as google etc. has it, i.e. including some context around the string found in the document and not just a file list. Anything else would just be a faster version of kfind for that task. And since I do not use tags, it is the only desktop search task for me.<br />
: So the first thing why it did not work for me was that strigi+nepomuk never finished to index my files because strigi 0.7.2 crashes while it indexes several filetypes such as email, flac or rpms. Having a look at strigi’s website the project seemed dead. No news since 2008. This is a depressing first impression. Having a look at the SF project page continues with this, i.e. the latest available tarball is version 0.6.4 and the docs point to KDE’s playground svn repo if one wants to get strigi. The latter obviously fails because strigi is part of kdesupport."<br />

====[http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Sep-09.html Miguel de Icaza: Great News for MonoTouch Users]====<br />
: "Apple has removed the restrictions that were introduced earlier this year (the famous section 3.3.1). <br />
: Although Apple had not blocked any MonoTouch applications since the new rules were introduced, many developers either took a wait-and-see approach, or switched their development. We never stopped working on MonoTouch, just yesterday we released MonoTouch support for the new iOS 4.1 APIs. We did this within eight hours of the new operating system going public."<br />
====[http://knocte.blogspot.com/2010/09/version-tolerant-serialization-with.html Andrés G. Aragoneses: Version Tolerant Serialization with Mono]====<br />
: "During the last months I've kept working (with/on) Mono, but not working for Novell anymore.<br />
: Today I'm proud to blog about a bit of work I've done on Mono towards a better Binary Serialization experience:<br />
:: * mono-api-info command now can output ABI instead of API if you append the flag --abi. It has been useful for us in LindenLab while working on binary serialization compatibility between versions (already upstream!, so will be available in Mono v2.8, even with a new man page).<br />
:: If you ever wondered why your .NET code is no longer capable of deserializing some old binary object you had in your servers, instead of fixing the problem in a case-by-case basis, you can now see the whole picture by just diffing the output of mono-api-info --abi from your current and old codebase! A small TODO that I haven't completed yet is to deal with automatic properties (because we still don't use them) so that would be an exercise for the reader!<br />
:: * Fix for upstream Mono to act as .NET in regards to Version Tolerant Serialization, a patch to which I have just added a lot more unit tests (soon to be pushed hopefully)."<br />

: "Smolt is a project that is picking stats about openSUSE installs. Currently smolt-gui developed upstream is written in Qt and it difficult to add this client to GNOME installation of openSUSE. So it's required to have a GNOME integration to ship on the default install.<br />

: "Dracut is suppose to be a replacement for the old initrd tools like mkinitrd.<br />
: From the project description, dracut is an initramfs infrastructure. Unlike previous initramfs systems, Dracut aims to have as little as possible hard-coded into the initramfs.<br />
: It contains specific configuration files for init drivers and includes plymouth support. Dracut advantage seems to be a modern replacement to generate initrd and it's suppose to be easy to use/manage."<br />

As a user of openSUSE, the onyl way I discovered this was via a constant error in my updater applet that told me it was unavailable. Then I went to the forums with the error and was informed why. I was also told that there had been advance notice on some mailing list (a list that people who download and install openSUSE will nto be a member of automatically).

: "Savin Alex has been busy working on improving kiwi-ltsp lately. The basic idea behind the new development is easier management of multiple LTSP images that can be served over NBD or AOE. Earlier Shrenik Bhura had added multiple image support for AOE, now it is also supported when using NBD.<br />
For example, with very powerful hardware available, images of KDE, GNOME desktops or any other profile of your choice can be served as LTSP_FATCLIENT, this will enable images to use resources on the clients’ local hardware instead of traditional LTSP way of running all the client sessions on the server. Advantage of this way is making use of local hardware resources and central management of OS deployed in the entire network. LTSP can also be clustered to load balance and in case one of the servers fail."<br />

: "It doesn't give me any pleasure in saying this, but the evidence is overwhelming that Linux is not huge on the desktop. Saying it has maybe 1% of the desktop marketshare is probably not realistic, but not as far off the mark as we'd like.<br />
: Measuring Linux market share is not an easy task, especially not on the desktop. Most Linux users don't buy Linux pre-loaded, they download Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE, or another distro from a series of mirrors, BitTorrents, or share CDs. No matter how you count up, though, the total number is pretty small compared to the number of desktops in use. (...)"<br />

: "The openSUSE GNOME team has launched itself full throttle into preparations for openSUSE 11.4, which will be released with GNOME 2.32 as one of the desktops. Along the way, we decided on our focus points for the upcoming release:-<br />
New packages: More applications for a richer desktop experience<br />
While there are a large number of excellent GNOME/Gtk-based apps in openSUSE already, this looked like a great time to start getting more apps catering to a variety of requirements into the GNOME:Apps and GNOME:Factory build service projects. Since deciding on this, several new packages have already been worked on and are now available in the corresponding repositories. The status of new applications is tracked here. Many of these applications will, subject to review, reach Factory and a few might even become part of the default openSUSE GNOME desktop.<br />
You are welcome to request the packaging of applications you have found particularly useful or impressive, and if you are in earnest, why not join us at #opensuse-gnome and start packaging them for yourself? Requests for new applications may be made through comments here, on the mailing-list or at irc, but the best way to do this would be to open a feature request and tag it as “gnome-wishlist-packages”."<br />

: "Since a while e.g. the X11 driver for Wacom tablets should work out of the box, no calibration needed. I didn't test other tablet/touchscreen drivers in the last time, but I assume also some other should work out of the box. But sometimes you still need to calibrate your device.<br />
<br />
But how do you calibrate e.g. your wacom tablet on a openSUSE 11.3 or Factory, since there is no wacomcpl anymore in the package, which was used in the past? And how about a evdev based device? Simply use xinput_calibrator. You can get the package for openSUSE from my openSUSE buildservice repo. "<br />

: "Ever heard of OBS, also known as the openSUSE Build Service? You may not recognize the acronym, but if you're using openSUSE you're certainly using software built by OBS. The build service provides an invaluable tool for developers to overcome some of the challenges caused by the slight fragmentation between the various Linux distributions.<br />
The OBS provides developers of all your favorite apps with an easy to use tool for creating and distributing packages for openSUSE, Ubuntu and Fedora on a number of architectures. The idea of it all being that a developer can upload their code to the OBS and it will produce packages such as .rpm or .deb packages which are ready for openSUSE/Fedora and Ubuntu/Debian respectively"<br />

: "Today, KDE updated the Applications, Platform and Plasma Workspaces to 4.5.1, new releases bringing a number of important bugfixes on top of 4.5.0. 4.5.0 was released only three weeks ago and receives monthly service updates. 4.5.1 is the first in this series of bugfix and translation updates. These releases improve stability and the user experience further, while not bringing major new features or bigger changes to the user interface. 4.5.1 is a safe upgrade for anybody running 4.5.0. 4.5.1 has been dubbed "Cronjob" as it is one of the regular releases published by KDE, just like a cronjob does.<br />
This release will make 4.5 users lives more pleasant by adding a number of important bug fixes, bringing more stability and better functionality to the Plasma Desktop and many applications & utilities. Check the changelog for details about many of these improvements."<br />

First of all, PowerPC native builds do work since a long time (3+ years). At the beginning, only XEN virtualization was available for OBS, and XEN did not work on PowerPC hardware. Recently, KVM autosetup was added to OBS with release 1.8. KVM also works on PowerPC machines, so there are now fully functional PowerPC native builds with virtual machine support available."<br />

: "The exotic-sounding ‘Akonadi’ refers to both a mythological figure and the KDE platform’s central information framework. This article will dispel some of the mystery about how Akonadi will improve performance and integration, and how it is being rolled out into KDE applications. I’ll also provide some insight how the technology works, and what will become possible with this new PIM framework. <br />
<br />
Many people have been asking what the status of the new, Akonadi-based Kontact Groupware suite is. As I’ve been working closely with the PIM hackers, I thought I’d give my readers a heads-up on what’s going on and what to expect. In this article, I will often take KMail as an example for the port, but similar things apply to the other PIM applications that form the Kontact suite as well."<br />

: "Last weekend took FrOSCon place and openSUSE had a great presentation there. It was the 5th FroSCon and I was there since the second. FrOSCon addresses more developer and so its the best way to make a simple booth there for presenting openSUSE. FrOSCon offers projects rooms for making ther own program in there. Projects like PHP, Django, Perl, Geany and some others used the offer. After LinuxTag I said to Henne let us take an developer room too, we can make what we want in there, we have only what we do in it."<br />

: "After long drives from Nuernberg, Prague and Darmstadt hitting every traffic jam on the A3 (the Czechs won the race), the openSUSE Boosters met up in the little rhenish town of Sankt Augustin near Bonn to attend FrOSCon. Last night we reacquainted ourselves with each other and the odd glass of Kölsch or two over steak and chips. Suitably fortified, we are now occupied our project room upstairs at FrOSCon (room C125) and are now hacking like crazy on our team project, a new site for openSUSE users and contributors. This is based on the Elgg free software social networking platform, so we’re dusting off our PHP and looking at all the integration points with the rest of the openSUSE platform: the Build Service, Bugzilla, the wiki, Lizards, and so on. So if you’re more of a web monkey than a distro gibbon and would like to help, drop by tomorrow or just get in touch with the http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Boosters_team."<br />

:"Back home in Nuernberg now – Sunday has been a long day of hacking on Elgg and its plugins to shape it into a users site that knows about the social side of the openSUSE community. <br />
Our ‘Hack Meck’ was a little bit harder after letting loose at the legendary FrOSCon Saturday night party in the balmy August air, but we still managed to put down the glow sticks, hammer the keys and reach our goals for the weekend. These were adapting the user data to include fields that are peculiar to openSUSE such as membership status and IRC cloak, enhancing the Poll plugin to meet our info gathering needs, adapting the Elgg theming to our ubiquitous Bento theme, and working on calendaring and events so that we all know what is coming next in openSUSE world and so you can display your packaging and bug-reporting achievements to the world." <br />

: "Imagination is a lightweight and simple DVD slide show maker written in C language and built with the GTK+2 toolkit. I noticed a lack on the Linux platform of a user-friendly DVD slide show maker, so I started developing Imagination. True, there are some other GUIs which do the job, but they usually require a lot of dependencies to be installed first. Imagination has been designed from the ground up to be fast, light and easy-to-use. It requires the ffmpeg encoder ONLY to produce the movie file - to be burned to DVD then with another application. Yes you don't need any other third-party software, I like the KISS principle :) Imagination at present features 26 transitions effects developed as plugins loaded at startup. Exporting of the slideshow as FLV format is supported. No sound and Ken Burns effects yet but they are planned in the next release."<br />

: The core of the web scripts was quick to write. The fun (more time consuming) part was working with exception handling in javascipt. I know tons of fun right! There are few different ways to use exception handling based on which version of Alfresco you are using. The customer is on Enterprise 3.1 and I wanted to make sure that the web scripts also worked on the more current releases of Alfresco as well. A change (re: addition) was made in Enterprise 3.2.1 and Community 3.3 to help simplify exception handeling. I’ll talk about exception handling and these differences in a follow up post. For now let’s talk about these new web scripts."<br />

: "If you are brave enough feel free to update to Firefox 4.0b4 from the mozilla:beta repository. It will not install in parallel to previous versions but will replace your existing Firefox package. As always you want to backup your profile before so you can go back to your previous version without problems.<br />
The latest package contains the KDE integration patches we had in FF3.x which are pretty much untested. So if you run KDE and want to give it a try please report issues you find in Novell’s Bugzilla."<br />

: "While we are working on getting a first release of smbtad and smbtatools out of the door, we’ve just released the “SMB Traffic Analyzer Guide“. This is the very first version. The goal of the guide is to have a complete documentation of all components of SMB Traffic Analyzer. We know this initial version has it’s problems, but we will continue to improve the SMBTA guide by time. So before you complain, sit back, rest, and think about this is work in progress."<br />

: "With OpenSQL Camp and FrOSCon being over for almost a week now, it's time to come up with a short summary. I traveled home on Monday morning and then took Tuesday off, so I had some catching up to do...<br />
As for the past years, FrOSCon rocked again! According to the closing keynote, they had around 1.500 (unique) visitors and I had a great time there. I really enjoyed meeting all the old and new faces of the various Open Source communities. The lineup of speakers was excellent, Jon "maddog" Hall's keynote about "Free and Open Source Software in the Developing World" was quite insightful and inspiring."<br />

: "What does SAD mean? I will clarify it later, it does not matter now... don't be sad about it.<br />
<br />
Since some years big software companies like Microsoft (2002) or Cisco (2010) start changing their software development procedures to address the massive amount of vulnerabilities in their products. MS seems to be successful with this strategy and all the charts, numbers and articles look promising. "But what about the open-source world, the world of Linux distributions, what did they do?" you might ask. Led me shed some light on it."<br />

: "My life is getting far too complex to handle simply. Fall is coming, and I’m beginning to think I’m overbooking myself. Consider this:<br />
* I’m working on another book project that I can’t talk about yet. ;-) <br />
* I’m way behind in working through the SitePoint web development classes I wrote about a few weeks ago.<br />
* I’m speaking to the Madison Linux Users Group (MadLUG) about openSUSE 11.3 on November 6 (Did I mention that before?), and have to create that presentation.<br />
* I’m probably leading at least one session at BarCampMilwaukee 5 (which I did mention last week) October 2-3. The minimum is likely to be a dress rehearsal for the MadLUG event, but still…<br />
* I want to write more magazine articles too.<br />
* I have to get another car (an unexpected and urgent task).<br />
* There may be still another book project after the one at the top of this list that requires a bunch of preparatory tasks.<br />
* I’ve got to mow the lawn weekly and tend to various other homeowner projects.<br />
* Oh, and BTW I still have a day job that fills in 40 hours every week.<br />
Now between the Web-based app ToodleDo and a lovely Windows-based desktop app called MyLifeOrganized (MLO) that runs pretty well in Wine, I’ve got my day-to-day task/to-do-lists in good order. But right now, I need something that can help me figure out how to fit all of these big projects into the amount of time left in the day once I get home at night. And, since it is fall, ideally allow me to catch a few football and postseason baseball games in the bargain."<br />

We asked him ten questions about changes in KDE 4.5, what problems needed to be overcome, and what the future of KDE looks like — and his thoughts on openSUSE.<br />

The only thing I did now for the installer is, to make deliberations which pages are needed and helpful in the slideshow. More I cant do at this time. A generally background is needed first. I did some wallpaper but I found no really idea, one of them looke like a commercial for lemonade, there was some the liked it but me self not."<br />
====[http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2685 Sirko Kemter: Graphical improvements for 11.4]====<br />
: "Some days ago, I showed some of the wallpaper proposals they Ivan Cukic made for openSUSE 11.4. I think they are not the final version but we got good feedback for them and I think they will happen in 11.4. So I played a little bit with them how it could look in generally with the installer, splash and so on. I choosed the grey version because grey is neutral color. And when u come from splash to the windowmanager there changes not the green and it looks very different. So look and tell me what u think. And of course its not final and I have, to make some things better."<br />

: "One and a half year is now gone since I posted about my work for ARM support in the OBS and the work for a port of openSUSE to ARM. Lots of things had happened in the meantime that are related, from my limited view most notably Nokia and Intel joining Moblin and Maemo to MeeGo (MeeGo is currently working on a number of Atom and ARM based devices), chosing to use OBS as build system and last but not least myself joining The Linuxfoundation (you will be not surprised to hear that I work at LF on OBS). In the meantime there had also been a major new OBS release 1.8/2.0 with a bunch of new features."<br />

: "It’s been a while without post, simply because I did not have any issues with my openSUSE or KDE that I could have written about. Meanwhile enough small things have accumulated.<br />
: The openSUSE and thus KDE update from 11.2 with KDE from the KDE:Factory repo to 11.3 and its stock KDE packages went smoothly via zypper dup.<br />
: The most annoying issues are that the not threadsafe dbus makes dolphin crash and thus look bad. Akonadi is crashing on logout sometimes, yet I could not get a backtrace yet because drkonqi is shut down while collecting it. And using desktop effects locks-up my Intel driven netbook from time to time because of buggy drivers/Xorg/Kernel (three more bugs: 1 – 2 – 3), i.e. not KDE. I wonder how often KDE gets blamed for bugs that are actually due to e.g. buggy graphics drivers or packages not part of KDE."<br />
====[http://tittiatcoke.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/still-alive-and-kicking-new-snapshots-and-reorganization-for-opensuses-kde4unstable-repository/ Raymond Wooninck: Still alive and kicking !! New snapshots and reorganization for openSUSE’s KDE4:Unstable repository]====<br />
: "I guess that maybe some people were wondering how come that it was so silence around the Unstable repository for openSUSE. There are two reasons for it. First one is that I have been on holidays and I promised my family that I would stay away from a computer as much as possible. Secondly in August the KDE repositories were changes and optimized. This meant not only a new name and/or location, but also we had a good look at what was provided by each repo. <br />
: For the KDE4:Unstable repo it was agreed that the new repo name would be KDE:Unstable:SC and that it should only provide the standard KDE:SC packages with the build-required libraries. This means that application like Amarok, choqok, konversation, etc are no longer provided through this KDE:Unstable:SC repository. SVN snapshot versions of these applications can be found in the new playground (KDE:Unstable:Playground) repo or released version can be retrieved directly from either the openSUSE:Factory repository or in case of an older distribution from the KDE:UpdatedApps repository."<br />
====[http://vizzzion.org/blog/2010/08/working-upstream/ Sebastian Kügler: Working Upstream.]====<br />
:"On the website of an Austrian (no kangaroos!) newspaper, I read an interview with Canonical’s Jono Bacon. In this interview, Jono talks about the process of developing central components of the desktop inside Canonical. The process is basically that Canonical’s design department, Ayatana develops components. When they are finished, they’re offered for inclusion into GNOME, which was not a successful in all cases yet. According to Jono this is "working upstream", explaining that in this context Ayatana is the upstream. GNOME is seen as a provider of components, building blocks for Ubuntu’s user experience.<br />
The definition Jono handles of upstream development is quite different from how it works for me. I can speak of personal and professional experience in this context, as I have been working quite a lot on central components of the Plasma Desktop (and Netbook as well). I have done this work both, as a voluntary contributor in my Free time (pun intended), and continue to do so in my working hours for open-slx. open-slx happens to sell and supports Linux deskop operating systems."<br />

Almost everything has worked straight out of the box, including my Wacom graphics tablet and my wireless card. One thing that's been annoying me is that whenever I make a mistake (such as trying to delete some text that isn't there), my computer makes the most almighty buzz. Or maybe it could be described as a belch. It's pretty horrible, however you describe it, and makes me jump out of my skin every time. I think it's supposed to be the System Bell."<br />

: Of course, it has been hard to see good people leave the company in the past few months — they are generally still involved upstream, though, so that's positive :-) But recently, we've been joined by two friends: Frédéric, who's working on SUSE Meego, and Jos, the new openSUSE community manager.

: "First of all, thanks for the great welcome to the community! I've received many constructive and nice comments which made me very happy. I really look forward to working with you all over the next months/years/centuries/eons/etc.<br />
<br />
As I don't yet have much insight in our community, I am spending the first month on getting to know you all, getting input on what is needed, what is going on etcetera. Besides of course reading up on mail, following discussions on IRC and playing with openSUSE myself I went to the Novell headquarters for a week and spoke with my colleagues there. It was an interesting week - Novell has a deep commitment to openSUSE but there is still a lot to learn from both sides. I hope to be able to bring the parts of Novell which work on and with openSUSE technology a bit closer to the community and will start with the marketing. The marketing team at Novell has a lot of experience talking to corporate partners and I hope we can use their experience for openSUSE. The other way around I think we can help them a lot in spreading the word about the work Novell is doing in the free software area."<br />

* added new command 'osc requestmaintainership' as shortcut for 'osc creq -a add_role USER maintainer PROJECT PACKAGE' since this command is hard to find for (new) users [2]<br />
* changed 'osc request show' to show add_role request info more verbose including requested person/group and the requested role [3]<br />
* fix output of 'osc buildinfo' if parameters are missing, show only the available repos (and not the arch) if called from a checked out package [4]<br />
* updated osc.complete, added all existing commands to list [5]<br />
* added new command 'osc distributions' to get info about active distributions [6]<br />
* some changes to respect 'osc -A' and to reuse apiurl instead of reading it again and again from config [7][8]<br />

Just ten years later, the networking giant of the 20th century would find itself in a struggle to maintain relevance in the new millennium.

: "HackMeck is the weekend hack retreat of the openSUSE Boosters team in the openSUSE development room @ FrosCON. The aim of HackMeck is to advance Connect, the social networking framework the project is using to connect its users with each other. This is a great opportunity for new contributors to participate together with experienced members on some specific objective.<br />
: Connect is built on top of the Elgg plattform and most of the features we want are already available as Elgg plugins. We will evaluate and enhance those in order to match our expectations. However, some additional features will also require the creation of new plugins. Connect runs on a combination of a web server and the MySQL database and is written in the PHP scripting language. If you already posses knowledge about this very popular web server environment we encourage you to join HackMeck! But even if you don’t there are plenty of cool things to do and this weekend will give you the opportunity to learn and further yourself."<br />

====[http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/08/12/osc10-conference-update/ Andrew Wafaa: oSC10 – Conference Update]====<br />
: "So Stage 1 of the next openSUSE Conference is complete (submission deadline), and we are moving forward with Stage 2 (scheduling talks). I personally wasn’t privvy to last year’s submissions, but we have well over 80 submissions covering a huge range of topics this year which is brilliant.<br />
: One of the nice things this year is we have submissions from other distributions and projects, which is great :-) The submissions from all parties cover a wide variety of topics from very technical to very fun, and it isn’t going to be easy to select which ones to accept."<br />

: "Well, finally and happily I was able to make my LaunchParty for 11.3 here in my city. It was a simple setup: The place with the help of a local FOSS Academy that let me use his installations, Some media that I burn to giveaway, one of my laptops and my sister laptop to place two machines for desktop demonstrations, and just the desire to speak the word of the Geeko :D …"<br />
====[http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2665 Sirko Kemter: Launch Party openSUSE 11.3]====<br />
: "Yesterday, we had the Launch Party for 11.3 here in Chemnitz. It was interesting, how we do it we do it wron. For the last Launch Party we rented a room in a near cultural center, after that we thaught we can do it in the conference rooms of my company. And this time it was filled up :D We had a lot of guests. Some of them came really early and so it was time for an coffee and smalltalk. This time we prepared 3 talks, I started with the “openSUSE A-Z contribution guide” after that Tobias Koenig followed with “KDE yesterday - today and tomorrow, that was a really intersting presentation. He talked about how KDE started and he showed how KDE looked in earlier versions and on the end how showed some things what comes in future. Michl send me some books and I gived them away for the first questions (in Tobias case it was a nasty question about backuping akonadi). The last talk was a special topic, we had Kai-Uwe he talked about his Oyranos project, thats a server for color managment."<br />

: "So, continuing with my last post about things to do after an openSUSE installation, now its the time for “Adding Games”, but first, some clarifications about two things:<br />
: One: You can add Codecs and other stuff with a 1-click-package, avoiding to use Zypper, I just expose the zypper method because I think its a bit more short :-P , but that its just matter of taste. So, if you are running openSUSE 11.3 with KDE use this ymp, and if you are using GNOME use this other. If you are on a older version of openSUSE, just go to this page and select your version.<br />
: Two: The broadcom-wl package its on Packman, so you have to add that repo (Via YaST -> Repositories), before you can install that package."<br />
====[http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-resizing-partitions-1/index.html?ca=drs- IBMDeveloperWorks/Roderick W. Smith:Resizing Linux partitions, Part 1: Basics]====<br />
: "Linux® systems are often installed on multiple partitions, each of which has a fixed size. As your needs change, though, it is often necessary to resize partitions to suit your changing needs. Several tools exist to do this in Linux, but there are a number of potential pitfalls and restrictions that can make the task more difficult than it might at first seem. This article guides you through the task of resizing Linux partitions, beginning with basic preparations and moving on to common resizing scenarios using graphical user interface (GUI) tools."<br />

: "Whether you are a frequent latex user, and especially if you are just starting off with it, you must have encountered situations where compiling the document correctly gets downright painful. Or found it just irritating to google every time or look up a cheat-sheet [pdf] to insert a not-so-common symbol.

This iteration of the desktop environment includes updates to the developer platform, KDE's applications and the core desktop experience, all contributing to a very important release for the KDE community.<br />

Given that I have written a, hopefully simple, application demonstrating the points in my last post (designing C++ code for QML use), this post (writing games with QML), and the next QML post I plan to write (QML’s versioning system, when I’ll use version 2 of this example). It’s a C++ module containing word-game related logic designed for use from QML, plus a QML game using it, and they can be found in the qt-qml-demo-playground repository in the wordgame and longwords folders, respectively. They are merely intended to provide some concrete examples, and you don’t have to play with them before reading the rest of this post (but it is a game, so you can :) ). Now onto the topic of this post, writing games with QML."<br />

AppArmor can restrict applications to specific actions to prevent attackers who have, for instance, exploited a security hole in a server program, from gaining access to a system and causing major damage."<br />

====[http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/omgsuse/~3/fbOd5lzxK2Y/kickin-it-old-school-kde3 OMG!SUSE! team: Kickin' it old school with KDE3]====<br />
: "KDE 3.5 was originally released almost five years ago, the last maintenance release clocking in mid-summer of 2008. Regardless of its age, a half-decade after its debut some KDE users still prefer KDE3 over KDE4.<br />
: For openSUSE lovers who also love KDE3, the discontinuation of support for openSUSE 11.0 represents the last major release of openSUSE that shipped with KDE3 as an installation option (it actually bundled KDE3 and KDE4 with it).<br />
Wouldn't it be great if you could get all the delicious goodies introduced in openSUSE 11.3 without needing to give up Amarok 1.4 and adjusting to all the sweeping changes made in KDE4?"<br />

: "As I mentioned in two earlier blogs now, within openSUSE a strategic discussion is going on - what direction should we, as a distribution community, take?<br />
: I would like to address a few things in this post. First of all, why a strategy, and what will it and won't it do? Second, there is one strategy I'd like to mention specifically, as I think it's disrupting but as a community proposal it deserves to be discussed as any other strategy. That's about the KDE strategy for openSUSE."<br />

So from yesterday, we also have http://paste.opensuse.org. Same computer, same IP, just different name if you prefer the other one. As it is the same thing as susepaste.org, links are interchangeable. So you can post something to susepaste.org and send link to paste.opensuse.org or vise versa. Just replace the first part of the url.<br />
: Other interesting thing to report is that Pascal Bleser added support for susepaste to pastebinit, so if you don't like mine simple script, you can use more advanced tool face-wink.png But this is nothing new, he already blogged about that. Next steps on openSUSE Paste includes localization, documentation for the script and getting it to the common menu on all openSUSE sites.

: "When KDE 4.0 was released, it was clear that it was not finished and not ready for production. By version 4.2, the completely redesigned and recoded desktop environment was starting to regain the stability and depth that many loved about KDE 3, while also adding new features that make KDE a unique and rewarding desktop software compilation.<br />
<br />
: Just as KDE 3.5 was intended to be a stabilizing, long-term release, the primary goal of KDE 4.5 is to fix outstanding bugs and increase stability. Users will not be blown away by the new features, but there are a few worth noting. Last week I installed the release candidate for KDE 4.5 from the Kubuntu repositories and took it for a spin."<br />

This lightweight combination targets smartphones, netbooks, tablets, mediaphones, connected TVs and In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems. This specific release is for Atom-based IVI systems. These systems are designed to deliver things like navigation, entertainment, and networked computing services inside of cars, trucks, buses, planes and more.

: "Okay, I have spent more than a week with openSUSE 11.3 KDE4. Right now I am downloading Linux Mint 9 KDE. I have not decided on my perfect KDE4 distro, but openSUSE 11.3 is a really strong contender. In this short writeup I will explore some reasons why I might NOT switch to it as my default OS."<br />
====[http://techgage.com/news/quick_impressions_of_opensuse_113 Techgage/Rob Williams: Quick Impressions of openSUSE 11.3]====<br />
:"About two weeks ago, the openSUSE Project released version 11.3 of its popular Linux distribution, and after putting it off for quite a while, I decided to give the latest version a download and see what SUSE has been up to. After all, the last time I took a serious look at SUSE (over four years ago!), it still went by "SuSE"... yes, it's been quite a while. So far, my initial impressions of the latest version are quite good.<br />
<br />
: The latest version of openSUSE, as expected, includes updated versions of all the software found in the distro, along with a couple of new bundled applications, such as SpiderOak for net syncing and Rosegarden for audio editing. It also includes KDE 4.4.4 and the 2.6.34 Linux kernel, and believe it or not, it even includes a preview of GNOME 3.0 for those who are interested in testing it out."<br />

: "We just switched to the new wiki. So here it is. And now? Let me explain what you can do to help!<br />
: Create your user page<br />
: Every user of the wiki has a personal page and we did not transfer any of them. We wanted to use this opportunity to brush them up and standardize them. Your userpage should be your first task in the new wiki. If your username is Geeko, just go to http://en.opensuse.org/User:Geeko and press “create”. After that load the userpage teamplate by pressing on the “Load” button. Then fill out the form and you will get a nice standardized userpage! [...]"<br />
====[http://news.opensuse.org/2010/07/12/change-in-opensuse-membership-handling/ openSUSE News: Change in openSUSE Membership handling]====<br />
: "Anyone can become openSUSE member after showing continued and substantial contribution to the project of any kind (bugs, support in forums, wiki edits, code contribution etc.). For those who don’t know what openSUSE Membership is or how to become a member I suggest to read this wiki article or older blogpost by Andreas.<br />
: Some time ago openSUSE Board decided to delegate the membership handling process to so-called Membership officials. They review applications and give -1, 0, +1 points depending on user’s contributions to the project. Once user receives +4 resp. -4 points, the application is accepted resp. rejected. The length of this process depends on how much you write about yourself in the application. If you make your contributions vivid in this description, it’s very easy to verify them and you can become openSUSE member in a few days.<br />
In both cases, an email is sent automatically to the user informing about the result. If the membership is approved, additionaly admins are informed, so email/cloak/lizards account can be set up and Weekly News team can present the new members in the separate section in OWN. The officials team currently consists of 16 very active community members, who can be reached on email address membership-officials@opensuse.org and their list is in the mentioned wiki page."<br />

====[http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2547 Sirko Kemter: Improve the distribution design]====<br />
:"In a few days openSUSE 11.3 would be released and I did last days som screenshots for the documentation in the wiki from the installation process. And I have to say it looks not what the distribution deserve. In 11.2 we had a design problem too, the boot splash was made from jimmac and looked really different from the KDE desktop. For 11.3 we tried to avoid that and jimmac made a good looking wallpaper what looked KDE-styled.<br />
: Pieces of that wallpaper are used in some other graphics for the distribution. For example in the installer. So now take a look for the installer. The black geeko looks a little bit wrong. There are so different icons and colors used in the installer so that it looks a little bit as done without love. I think we should change that and so I made some mockups how can look the installer in the future."<br />

====[http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/opinion/the-kernel-column-89/ Jon Masters/LinuxUser kernel column #89]====<br />
: "Last month saw the opening and subsequent closing of the 2.6.35 kernel’s merge window, the period of time during which all of the exciting new features that have been waiting in the wings (and in linux-next nightly kernels provided by Stephen Rothwell) are considered for merging into the official ‘mainline’ kernel source tree by Linus Torvalds. Recent releases have often added a new file system (or perhaps two), but 2.6.35 does not add any new file systems. It does add many other new features, including support for profiling virtual machines from the host machine using ‘kvm perf’, the KDB in-kernel debugger that has augmented the existing KGDB support for remote debugging, the memory compaction patches, and memory hotplug support in the SLAB memory allocator."<br />

True, I am one of those people, although I never had a pocket protector and my belly is quite a bit larger than a pot :) I was the same sort of person when I was just as in love with windows as I now am with Linux.

: There is a really cool demo I would like to share: (note the dynamic real time content from twitter and flickr and also that this animation is not a video)<br />
: And once Firefox 4 with WebGL support will be out we will hit again the problematic situation on Linux about X.org, OpenGL and graphics drivers. (And for this moment I still need to embed the above video as Flash object to not ignore the people using non-WebM enabled browsers ;-) )"<br />

= My Way to openSUSE =<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
I never was a friend of MS Windows (although some of my friends gave me the dirt on it), but I accepted it and learned how to eliminate the bugs and unnecessary RAM wastage. One of my friends ([http://de.opensuse.org/Benutzer:STS301 STS301]) installed Ubunto nearly one year ago and had quite a lot of troubles with it. That put me off using Linux too. Moreover I thought that there are not enough applications available for daily use as in MS Windows. As I now know I was definitive wrong!<br />
<br />
== Getting Started ==<br />
<br />
In mid 2009 I had much to do with Linux (a.o. Ubunto and openSUSE). I recognized that Linux is not as bad as I always thought. So I partitioned my harddrive and installed openSUSE 11.1 with GNOME 2.24. At first I had some troubbles partitioning my harddrive, but it finaly worked!<br />
<br />
My first impression was that I did not find anything I know from Windows. But after some internet and library investigation I was able to configure my Laptop and use openSUSE regularly. At the time I think I am well enough to use openSUSE at everyday's work as well. I was astonished how easy it is to download, update and/or upgrade software. I had always thought that it is very hard to find software that fits. --> CONGRATULATIONS to this really good software!<br />
<br />
== Combination with Windows ==<br />
<br />
I need some programs for my education that only run on Windows (without problems). But because I do not want to reboot each lesson I need these programs, I decided to use a virtual machine. I chose Sun VirtualBox 3.1.4 which is OS. So I can easily work with Linux and Windows at the same time.<br />
<br />
= My work for openSUSE =<br />
<br />
As you have read in the article, I have not used openSUSE as long as others. But after some book researches I think I am quite well. But I am optimistic that I will cope with that. My aim is to work in the openSUSE community as well as I can. Moreover I try to make openSUSE palatable to others.<br />
<br />
My first job at openSUSE was (and is) at the openSUSE Marketing Team. I am translator from English to German and I am Event-Editor. Moreover since September 1, 2009 I work as an openSUSE Ambassador. I'm gladly looking forward to some events I can participate to represent openSUSE.<br />

: We are pleased to announce our '''131''' issue of the [[Weekly_news|openSUSE Weekly News]]. <br />
<!-- <br />
Editorial comments separated by one empty line <br />
--><br />
In this Issue we have collected very interesting things. The Top4 you can see on the header of this issue. Sadly I have bad news about our Kernel Review and PostgreSQL Review with openSUSE Flavor. Our Correspodent Rares Aoianei has crashed his PC. So we can't read anything from him in this Issue. But we hope to see him soon. We send him on this way our best wishes :-)<br />
What was interesting too in the Week? The 11.3 distribution has reached the Goldmaster Status. That means, we have now the Build who goes to our openSUSE Box. So we are happy to get the box soon. If you would like, you can pre-order the Box on [http://www.edv-buchversand.de/suse/product.php?cnt=product&id=sus181 this] Page.<br />
So that's all from my Side,<br />
: We hope that you will enjoy reading. <br />

====[http://news.opensuse.org/2010/07/05/maintenance-for-opensuse-11-0-extended/ Maintenance for openSUSE 11.0 extended]====<br />
: "openSUSE 11.0 was released on 19th of June 2008 and was planned to be under security maintenance for two years. Upon multiple requests from the community, the SUSE Security and Maintenance Team has decided to extend the maintenance period of openSUSE 11.0 until openSUSE 11.3 release, which is scheduled for July 14th 2010.<br />
: We will stop handling new requests at that day and plan to finish with the last update on July 21st 2010 to assue that openSUSE 11.0 users have a smooth upgrade path to openSUSE 11.3. Special thanks to Dirk Mueller who innitiated this."<br />
====[http://news.opensuse.org/2010/07/05/a-new-hope/ openSUSE Wiki – Episode II: A new hope]====<br />
: "You hear it in the bushes since quite some time, rumors spread and people whisper about it: A new wiki for the openSUSE project is coming very soon! The openSUSE Wiki team is in the last preparations to launch the new wiki on Monday the 12th of July<br />
: As with all shiny new things the new wiki is different than the old one. But different how? You can sum that up in one word: Structure<br />
: The current wiki, online since the start of the openSUSE project in 2005, grew wild into something that is not maintainable anymore. This is because content in it is in no way structured and we use it as a simple information dump. We don’t have any rules on how to present information or how to connect it to related bits and everybody is just adding pages. It makes adding content very easy but it neglects completely the biggest group of users of this wiki: the readers. On a normal day we have 10 people adding and 78.000 reading content. Yet we do very little to ensure that those 78.000 people find what they are looking for."<br />

Now let me go into the nitty gritty details of the change to the new wiki. I especially want to focus on the changes important for the people who are familiar with the old wiki.

:"As mentioned in earlier posts, the new English wiki is scheduled to go live on Monday. Here are a few technical details about the change itself:<br />
* Schedule <br />
** The transition will begin on Monday, June 12 at 17:00 GMT (1:oo PM EDT)<br />
** The move should be completed in 10 – 15 minutes<br />
* During the move <br />
** The wikis will stay live<br />
** The old and new English wikis will behave unexpectedly at some points <br />
** www.opensuse.org and the other language wikis should not be affected at all<br />
* After the move <br />
** The old wiki (currently en.opensuse.org) will be located at old-en.opensuse.org<br />
** The new wiki (currently wiki.opensuse.org) will be located at en.opensuse.org<br />
** wiki.opensuse.org will be an alias for en.opensuse.org<br />
: The wiki team has worked hard to get the new wiki tested and perfected for Monday. However, if any issues are discovered after the switch, please send a message to webmaster@opensuse.org or file a bug at http://bugzilla.novell.com under the openSUSE.org product."<br />

:"openSUSE 11.3 is almost Gold, with that openSUSE Education team is also ready with the “Release Candidate” of Li-f-e based on 11.3.<br />
: Some of the highlights of this upcoming release:<br />
: * Tons of Education softwares<br />
: * KDE, GNOME, Sugar desktops<br />
: * Full multimedia support<br />
: * Latest LTSP including iTALC support out of the box<br />
: * Much much more for you to discover…<br />
: The DVD iso image doubles as live USB image too, just “dd” the iso to 4GB+ USB stick to get fully functional desktop/server on a stick. Check out this development release to report any bugs or missing feature before we go gold.<br />

: "With openSUSE 11.3 less than a week away, soon it’ll be time to think about 11.3+1 which will be released in March 2011 with KDE SC 4.6.<br />
: This should interest people using the KDE Factory repository a great deal, because it means that Factory should move to KDE SC 4.5 RC very shortly, and in November it will move to KDE SC 4.6 Beta. Leaving users with no choice other than using 4.6 Beta or downgrading to 4.4.4 which will be the version officially supported in 11.3 and available in the KDE Stable repository.<br />
: In other words, if you don’t wish to use KDE SC 4.6 Beta in November, don’t use the KDE Factory repository! Switch to the KDE Stable repository, which already has 4.4.4. Consider yourself warned."<br />

: "It was hackweek here again in Novell, I spent an enjoyable ( but also sometimes frustrating ) couple of days trying to extend support for Mono in Openoffice.org. Recently on IRC there was some interest in using C# to write extensions for Openoffice.org where it became clear that only being able to ‘drive’ Openoffice.org from C# is severely limiting. To provide decent custom functionality you need to be able to get called by Openoffice.org, integrate with the Menus and Toolbars etc. Clearly to write an extension you need to be able to be ‘plugged’ in.. There are many many C# developers ( and potential extension developers ) and we are just ignoring them. I have to admit I always wanted to play with C#/DotNet/Mono and I even proposed a GSOC task to try and faciliate this ;-)<br />
: Unfortunately the project didn’t make the cut but fortunately there is Hackweek yay! So, I spent the last couple of days playing around with Mono and C#, first I wrote a new loader for Mono, this allowed me to use recomp to register some services, next I modified unopkg to accept a Mono component bundled in an extension."<br />
====[http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Jul-06-1.html Miguel de Icaza: First MonoTouch Book is out]====<br />
: "I am very excited to see the first MonoTouch book published. <br />
: You could not ask for a better team of authors to explain the MonoTouch and the iPhone platform. Chris, Craig, Martin, Rory, and Wally. <br />
: This book was a team effort by various active members of the MonoTouch community. They nurtured the community from the start by exploring MonoTouch, by reporting bugs and missing functionality in MonoTouch and by guiding .NET developers through the new world of building iPhone applications. <br />
: Congratulations on the book release guys!"<br />

:"Over the past couple of years Microsoft has been open sourcing some key .NET libraries under the MS-PL or Apache 2 license. <br />
: We are tremendously grateful to Microsoft for making these components open source. This has allowed us to distribute this in the past, and we are going to be bundling a lot more of it with Mono 2.8: <br />

====[https://features.opensuse.org/310080 #310080: KDE 4.6 for opensuse 11.4]====<br />
: "I realise we are using a time based release, and no longer chase feature releases, but 11.3 will ship with KDE 4.4 when 4.5 will ship three weeks later.<br />
: I realise you don't just drop in an entirely new DE version a week before opensuse hits RC, but it would be a crying shame for two releases in a row, eight months apart, both to use an 'old' major release of KDE.<br />

: "The other day the, secret, internal, 'from scratch' re-write of GStreamer integration was announced by StarDivision. You can read the wonderful news on their corporate blog. There is also some amusingly mis-directed marketing effort focused on Ubuntu as well. What does this mean for Linux users ? Nothing. With this great leap forward in Linux support you are unlikely to notice any difference at all; why ? Because all Linux distributions (SUSE, RedHat, Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, and more than I can list) have already been shipping GStreamer support since 2006. That was mostly written by Radek Doulik from Novell, with fixes from Redhat's superstar Caolan McNamara. <br />
: The real question is: Why would StarDivision want to draw attention to their traditional feature gap, by making noise about shipping multimedia support four+ years late ? while simultaneously alienating valuable contributors and continuing to tear down its developer community (that would love to help close OO.o's feature gap) ? if that interests you - read on: ..."<br />

: The Team held its regular IRC meeting last Monday to report our experiences with RC2. Of the bugs we have been tracking, many have been fixed, and we did not find any new ones that could be considered "show stoppers". From our experiences, it appears that 11.3 will be a high-quality release.<br />
: Stephan Kulow has identified the build for the iso images that are likely to be the official 11.3 release. The NET and DVD images for i586 and x86_64 architectures have been made available to our Team, and we will be testing over the weekend. So far, I have installed on an HP netbook using the NET CD, without finding any important bugs."<br />

As so often with kernel versions in the stable series, it remains undisclosed if the new versions contain changes which fix security vulnerabilities, although the number of changes and some of the descriptions of those changes certainly suggest that all the new versions contain security fixes. As usual, Kroah Hartman advised in the release emails, that "All users of the 2.6.27 kernel series are very strongly encouraged to upgrade to the new version"; in other release emails, he advises users "should upgrade"."<br />

: "I’m in the unfortunate situation that my employer uses a Juniper SSL/VPN solution with network connect capabilities (to initiate a real tunnel).<br />
: The solution is built around some Java code, some suid services and obviously exists as 32bit only.<br />
: Since the update from v5 to v6.5, network connect does no longer work when initiated from the web interface, which is a shame. The issue is a 32bit library that seems no longer to be nicely wrapped and thus the 64bit java is no longer able to start the processes up. The worst about all of it: there is no error message, no log file.<br />
: If you’re lucky enough and you only have username / password auth, you can simply use ncsvc with some parameters. Of course I am less fortunate, and besides username/password, we also use a OTP RSA Token. And of course, ncsvc does not offer any option to enter a 2nd password."<br />

:"I recently migrated all of the Banshee web server stuffs to a Linode 768. We were previously running on an incredibly slow, unreliable, and expensive dedicated co-lo machine that once hosted a number of Novell community projects. As part of the migration, go-oo (Novell's edition of OpenOffice) has migrated to openSUSE infrastructure, and I've taken F-Spot with me to Linode.<br />
: The performance and reliability so far has skyrocketed, and the flexibility we now have is very welcome. The Banshee web site is powered by openSUSE 11.2, lighttpd, MySQL, and WordPress. The new Linode backup service is a huge relief, which we are using in addition to daily cron-based on-system backups.

: Now if you only want to download it, you may already know the details and don’t care. So I added a little shortcut: if you request the binary url with a client not accepting html explicitly (e.g. curl, wget…), you get the file directly.

: "The latest version of openSUSE hit final code last week and is not due for official release until July 15, but The Reg is here to give you a tour of its pros and cons.<br />
: The free operating system has been somewhat maligned for its association with Novell, the Linux company that partnered with Microsoft and is now touting itself for sale, so it's perhaps unsurprising that the release comes on the heels of a new mission statement that seeks to create a bit of distance between openSUSE and Novell's commercial projects."<br />

: "openSUSE 11.0 was released on 19th of June 2008 and was planned to be under security maintenance for two years. Upon multiple requests from the community, the SUSE Security and Maintenance Team has decided to extend the maintenance period of openSUSE 11.0 until openSUSE 11.3 release, which is scheduled for July 14th 2010.<br />
: We will stop handling new requests at that day and plan to finish with the last update on July 21st 2010 to assue that openSUSE 11.0 users have a smooth upgrade path to openSUSE 11.3. Special thanks to Dirk Mueller who innitiated this."<br />
====[http://news.opensuse.org/2010/07/05/a-new-hope/ openSUSE Wiki – Episode II: A new hope]====<br />
: "You hear it in the bushes since quite some time, rumors spread and people whisper about it: A new wiki for the openSUSE project is coming very soon! The openSUSE Wiki team is in the last preparations to launch the new wiki on Monday the 12th of July<br />
: As with all shiny new things the new wiki is different than the old one. But different how? You can sum that up in one word: Structure<br />
The current wiki, online since the start of the openSUSE project in 2005, grew wild into something that is not maintainable anymore. This is because content in it is in no way structured and we use it as a simple information dump. We don’t have any rules on how to present information or how to connect it to related bits and everybody is just adding pages. It makes adding content very easy but it neglects completely the biggest group of users of this wiki: the readers. On a normal day we have 10 people adding and 78.000 reading content. Yet we do very little to ensure that those 78.000 people find what they are looking for."<br />

:"openSUSE 11.3 is almost Gold, with that openSUSE Education team is also ready with the “Release Candidate” of Li-f-e based on 11.3.<br />
: Some of the highlights of this upcoming release:<br />
* Tons of Education softwares<br />
* KDE, GNOME, Sugar desktops<br />
* Full multimedia support<br />
* Latest LTSP including iTALC support out of the box<br />
* Much much more for you to discover…<br />
: The DVD iso image doubles as live USB image too, just “dd” the iso to 4GB+ USB stick to get fully functional desktop/server on a stick. Check out this development release to report any bugs or missing feature before we go gold.<br />

====[http://www.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2010-07-06-ooo-gstreamer.html Michael Meeks: OpenOffice & GStreamer ...]====<br />
: "The other day the, secret, internal, 'from scratch' re-write of GStreamer integration was announced by StarDivision. You can read the wonderful news on their corporate blog. There is also some amusingly mis-directed marketing effort focused on Ubuntu as well. What does this mean for Linux users ? Nothing. With this great leap forward in Linux support you are unlikely to notice any difference at all; why ? Because all Linux distributions (SUSE, RedHat, Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, and more than I can list) have already been shipping GStreamer support since 2006. That was mostly written by Radek Doulik from Novell, with fixes from Redhat's superstar Caolan McNamara. <br />
: The real question is: Why would StarDivision want to draw attention to their traditional feature gap, by making noise about shipping multimedia support four+ years late ? while simultaneously alienating valuable contributors and continuing to tear down its developer community (that would love to help close OO.o's feature gap) ? if that interests you - read on: ..."<br />

====[http://noelpower.blogs.ie/2010/07/07/my-mono-hackweek-restored/ Noel Power: My mono Hackweek (restored)]====<br />
: "It was hackweek here again in Novell, I spent an enjoyable ( but also sometimes frustrating ) couple of days trying to extend support for Mono in Openoffice.org. Recently on IRC there was some interest in using C# to write extensions for Openoffice.org where it became clear that only being able to ‘drive’ Openoffice.org from C# is severely limiting. To provide decent custom functionality you need to be able to get called by Openoffice.org, integrate with the Menus and Toolbars etc. Clearly to write an extension you need to be able to be ‘plugged’ in.. There are many many C# developers ( and potential extension developers ) and we are just ignoring them. I have to admit I always wanted to play with C#/DotNet/Mono and I even proposed a GSOC task to try and faciliate this ;-)<br />
: Unfortunately the project didn’t make the cut but fortunately there is Hackweek yay! So, I spent the last couple of days playing around with Mono and C#, first I wrote a new loader for Mono, this allowed me to use recomp to register some services, next I modified unopkg to accept a Mono component bundled in an extension."<br />
====[http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Jul-06-1.html Miguel de Icaza: First MonoTouch Book is out]====<br />

You could not ask for a better team of authors to explain the MonoTouch and the iPhone platform. Chris, Craig, Martin, Rory, and Wally. <br />
: This book was a team effort by various active members of the MonoTouch community. They nurtured the community from the start by exploring MonoTouch, by reporting bugs and missing functionality in MonoTouch and by guiding .NET developers through the new world of building iPhone applications. <br />

: "I updated the documentation about even shorter and more portable URLs to openSUSE build service repositories. The thing is, the zypp stack (zypper and YaST2) send the version of the openSUSE it is running on as an HTTP header when performing an "add repo" operation.<br />

====[http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/?p=120 Dominique Leuenberger: Dominique Leuenberger: Juniper VPN on openSUSE x86_64]====<br />
: "I’m in the unfortunate situation that my employer uses a Juniper SSL/VPN solution with network connect capabilities (to initiate a real tunnel).<br />
The solution is built around some Java code, some suid services and obviously exists as 32bit only.<br />
: Since the update from v5 to v6.5, network connect does no longer work when initiated from the web interface, which is a shame. The issue is a 32bit library that seems no longer to be nicely wrapped and thus the 64bit java is no longer able to start the processes up. The worst about all of it: there is no error message, no log file.<br />
: If you’re lucky enough and you only have username / password auth, you can simply use ncsvc with some parameters. Of course I am less fortunate, and besides username/password, we also use a OTP RSA Token. And of course, ncsvc does not offer any option to enter a 2nd password."<br />

====[http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/06/26/buildservice-development-on-11-3/ Stephan Kulow: Buildservice development on 11.3]====<br />
: "The build service (and any other of openSUSE infrastructure software using RoR) is using rails 2.3.5, because we once decided to harmonize on the version of SLE11 SP1. Of course the latest version has less bugs (usually), but mixing RoR versions between different developers and deployment is a nightmare, so we had to decide on one.<br />
: Now comes the catch: 11.3 has rails 2.3.8 and as such you can’t develop the build service on factory/11.3 as is. But the good news, openSUSE:Tools has all the right versions, so you can add the repo (zypper ar -r http://r.opensu.se/openSUSE:Tools/f/r) and then install zypper in -f rubygem-rack-1.0.1 rubygem-activesupport-2_3-2.3.5"<br />

====[http://tittiatcoke.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/kde-sc-4-5-rc1-available-for-opensuse/ Raymond Wooninck: KDE SC 4.5 rc1 available for openSUSE]====<br />
: "Since yesterday evening the openSUSE KDE4:Unstable repositories contains the KDE SC 4.5 rc1 packages. Also the special repository that contains KDEPIM 4.5 snapshots, was updated to a version that seems to work pretty well. <br />
: I am not using IMAP, so I can’t comment on it’s status. But the POP accounts are working very well and also filtering is active. At least it allowed me to move away again from Thunderbird to this Kmail v2 solution. A very good job done by the KDEPIM developers!!"<br />
====[http://kdeatopensuse.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/kde-week-2425/ KDE at openSUSE: KDE: Week 24+25]====<br />
: "There was not much to report last week thus I skipped the blog post. No issues with KDE and no IRC meeting either. This week’s IRC meeting took quite long since we had to discuss the KDE repository reorganisation. We did not finish yet but decisions already taken will be posted to the opensuse-kde@ mailinglist soon.<br />
: IMHO renaming URLs will not solve the issue of users getting their information off some forum and mailinglists and thus ending-up with a wild mix of Qt and KDE repos and wondering why their KDE repo suddenly becomes WIP since they are using Factory. Although everything is written out nicely on the openSUSE wiki, most people still did not get the different usage of the term STABLE within the last years. The STABLE repo always contained the packages released with the last openSUSE version plus official openSUSE updates, i.e. “stable openSUSE KDE” rather than “stable KDE for openSUSE”. Hence I prefer a GUI that explains everything to and handles repos for the user, keeping him away from URLs."<br />

: "These are heady times in the Linux world, with Linux at the center of how organizations are evolving and even transforming their computing infrastructures and ecosystems. Looking at recent developments, I’m struck by three observations.<br />
: The Perfect Linux Guest<br />
: First, Linux is everywhere. When we launched SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 in March 2009, we talked about the ubiquity of Linux – or, Linux how you want it, where you want it. Whether companies are deploying to bare metal, on-premise virtual platforms or public clouds, Linux is in the conversation."<br />
====[http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4260 Lubos Lunak: Difficult, difficult...]====<br />
: "It is interesting to notice what is sometimes seen as difficult. "It's too hard for me, I can't do that." "I'll never be able to do that, that's nothing for me." Like if most things could be done instantly just by snapping one's fingers. They instead require all these tedious things like effort, trying, learning, practicing and so on. The funny thing is, figuring out things in the IT area is not really that demanding. Wanna write a Plasma applet? There's a step-by-step tutorial at Techbase, just follow it blindly and with a decent skill in reading and typing, tadda, there's a Plasma applet. Wanna a package in the build service? You can use another one as a template, find a tutorial on the wiki or just google for it, and if you'll be just a little lucky, a tool can even do the work for you."<br />

: Their choice is reasonable,<br />
: 1, Random I/O on large file cannot get any help from file system page cache.<br />

: "I’m on the first leg of my trip back to the Netherlands right now. I’ve spent a couple of days in Bretagne, France to celebrate the marriage of a close friend, who asked me to be his best man. The celebrations, which lasted for three days were terrific, but also pretty tiring as you don’t get to spend much time just by yourself. The main celebration was held in the "ridiculously beautiful" Chateau Domaine de la Bretesche, and in Pornichet, the home of the bride. I’m returning to the Netherlands right now, for three days of desk time (needed to prepare my Akademy talk and to get some last minute work done on the impending openSUSE 11.3 release). On Friday, I’ll be boarding a flight to Helsinki and then on to Tampere to take part in my fifth Akademy."<br />

The main argument being that if people aren’t using the list now, the few questions that do get asked may not be getting the attention they deserve.<br />
: I have an opinion on the subject, but I’m not sure that’s all that important. : As a technical communicator, what I’m interested in is how others learn about and solve problems with their software, particularly in the open source arena. KOffice doesn’t have the mind share and user base that other open source productivity suites (OK, I mean OpenOffice.org) have, but are there channels today’s Linux geek and her grandma use to get support for their software. There are lots of choices, and it would be interesting and helpful to me, the KOffice and KDE teams to learn those preferences."<br />

====[http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2010/06/30/LinuxTag-2010:-Attack-of-the-Geekos! Vincent Untz: LinuxTag 2010: Attack of the Geekos!]====<br />
: "It's finally time to talk about LinuxTag 2010. It was my third time there, and this year was the best so far, at least for me! And that's most probably because of how amazing our openSUSE booth turned out to be! Or maybe it's because of the invasion of the Geekos?<br />
: openSUSE Booth<br />
: We certainly didn't have a big slot for out booth, but oh boy... it ended up big! Our booth was always filled with people, who, I guess, got attracted by the touchscreens we have. But attracting people is of no good if you can't get them interested. We did various demos on the touchscreens, but our small secret ingredient were the workshops: four times a day (and sometimes even more), people could sit down in our booth to participate in a session on various topics — those ranged from learning Inkscape, to creating your first package in the Build Service, via playing together with GNOME Shell. That really worked out well, especially at it helps getting the visitors more involved in the discussion."<br />
====[http://www.itworld.com/open-source/110854/review-suse-linux-enterprise-server-11-sp1 ITworld/Brian Proffitt: Review: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1]====<br />
: "Novell announced their first service pack release for SUSE Enterprise Linux Server (SLES), and if you like virtualization, this is a very strong platform from which you can get started.<br />
: That's because, for now, Novell is going to be supporting KVM and Xen (plus Microsoft's Hyper-V tech) within SLES 11 SP1 -- and that's not taking into account the recent Novell/VMware partnership that will have VMware distributing SLES as a commoditized operating system offering."<br />

: "Robert and myself visited most open source projects attending LinuxTag 2 weeks ago and invited them to come to the openSUSE Conference – be it as visitor, giving a presentation or doing a workshop. Feedback was all over the place positive. But feedback isn’t enough – we’ll do some follow up to make some of them participate and all of us should now promote the openSUSE Conference where possible.<br />
: Let’s spread the word about the openSUSE Conference and its motto “Collaboration across borders”, invite developers of other communities and other projects to join as a visitor or to give a presentation on a topic which affects all of us or lets do a workshop, hack session or just having fun. Call for papers is open till July 31 – so now is the time to shape the conference. Send in our proposal or idea to cfp@opensuse.org."<br />

One of these things was continuing my Nautilus redesign that I (Garrett LeSage) started last year, continued with others (Allan Day, Hylke Bons, Máirín Duffy, etc.) at the London UX meeting and at LGM2010… and then further talked about on the Internet. During the HackWeek this month, I worked collaboratively with others (Allan, Hylke, Lapo Calamandrei, Andy Fitzsimon, and more) using Inkscape, Google Wave, Dropbox, IRC, and IM and we brainstormed on ways to improve Nautilus — not just feature by feature, but how everything would work together."<br />

====[http://vizzzion.org/blog/2010/06/kmails-akonadi-migration-in-opensuse/ Sebastian Kügler (sebas): KMail’s Akonadi migration in openSUSE]====<br />
: "In openSUSE’s KDE team, we’ve recently planned the migration to Akonadi, the groupware caching solution that will be the base of upcoming KDE PIM versions, notably KDE’s address book, email client and calendar app. With the release of KDE SC 4.4, we’ve seen the first component being ported to Akonadi, KAddressbook, spearheaded by its fearless maintainer Tobias König. In the KDE SC 4.5 cycle, we’re seeing more components in their first Akonadi-incarnation. As this means a big step for these applications, some attention needs to be paid to users who will, over the coming months, migrate to the Akonadi-based PIM components. The PIM team has decided to go with a stepped approach, and not introduce all applications in their Akonadi version at once. This is a sensible decision, as it allows you to learn from problems in the migration path, and fix these in the next wave of ports. PIM in SC 4.4 brought the address book migration, which wasn’t completely smooth from a user’s point of view. While in most cases, the fix was as easy as "point Akonadi to your contacts (or .vcf) file", we can (and will) do better with the migration of KMail. KMail2 (which is akonadi-based) will not arrive with 4.5.0, though, but is planned become part of the next monthly SC update, 4.5.1. This decision has been made by KDE’s PIM team in order to get a little more time to stabilise and test the release. This is also our first line of defense :-)"<br />

* Video capture support, but support for pixel formats is sparse. right now the supported formats are YUYV and YV12/YUV420 (planar). <br />
* SSE2 fast paths for gradient fills in the embedded pixman/cairo, this improves performance significantly as some people seem to have discovered the use of gradients. <br />

=== Linux Tag 2010 ===<br />
====[http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/06/12/linuxtag-2010-in-berlin/ Andreas Jaeger: Linuxtag 2010 in Berlin]====<br />
: "Thursday morning at 5am I woke up, had a quick breakfirst and travelled via Nürnberg to Berlin for LinuxTag 2010. I arrived around 12:00 at the fair and was surprised to see it the back occupied by around 7 persons. We had a small booth, so it was full. They were taking part in the workshop “Build your own multi-distro package” held by Michal. The openSUSE boosters had organized these workshops as practical hands-on experience sessions.<br />
: Our booth had at the front two large touchscreens were we demoed the current state of openSUSE 11.3. As usual one run GNOME, the other KDE – and we shared our remaining DVD media and openSUSE stickers. Always a few people were standing around the touchscreens helping people and talking about openSUSE."<br />

:"LinuxTag 2010 has ended, openSUSE had a booth in the community area and we had a number talks. We also released OBS 2.0 on LinuxTag. You know this of course already, but here are some impressions. <br />
: openSUSE booth was very well visited. Various workshops and activities created several times actually a big swarm around it. Many people were interessted about OBS in special and I hope we won some more OBS users and developers.<br />
: Hennes and mine talk about “how to escape the free software hell” was provocant enough to get quite some people into our room directly after the keynote. I hope we were able to show off the coolness of OBS there."<br />
====[http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/06/14/some-wrap-up-from-linuxtag/ Michael Löffler: Some wrap-up from LinuxTag]====<br />
:"Just traveling back by train from LinuxTag, Berlin to Nürnberg. How was LinuxTag? In general it seems to me that LinuxTag may should change their motto “Were .com meets .org” as the event changed over the years more and more to an community project events with a few companies attending and a few business visitors passing by. I wonder who’s willing to pay the bill for LinuxTag ongoing? But that’s not of my business. Apart of the trade show the LinuxTag team served a pretty broad and high quality 4 days conference. For the community guys and girls I’d say it was a pretty good event with much conversation and meeting of people you normally just meet on mailingslists, forums or IRC and with a bunch of poeple new or intersted in Linux and open source."<br />
====[http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2407 Sirko Kemter: LinuxTag 2010 - Review]====<br />
:"Last week was the 16th edition of LinuxTag, one of the greatest FLOSS events worldwide. I was there but not as part of openSUSE project. There are some events I cant do that because I am part of RadioTux. LinuxTag is such a event and that means a lot of stress for me. My job on RadioTux is Chief of Program, that means I make the schedule for the broadcasting and take care of a trouble-free broadcasting. We had a lot of interviews at LinuxTag round 16 a day and we had two stages too. One of them was in opposite of our booth and the other one was the Open Source Arena which we had daily for a hour."<br />

:"It was hackweek here again in Novell, I spent an enjoyable ( but also sometimes frustrating ) couple of days trying to extend support for Mono in Openoffice.org. Recently on IRC there was some interest in using C# to write extensions for Openoffice.org where it became clear that only being able to ‘drive’ Openoffice.org from C# is severely limiting. To provide decent custom functionality you need to be able to get called by Openoffice.org, integrate with the Menus and Toolbars etc. Clearly to write an extension you need to be able to be ‘plugged’ in.. There are many many C# developers ( and potential extension developers ) and we are just ignoring them. I have to admit I always wanted to play with C#/DotNet/Mono and I even proposed a GSOC task to try and faciliate this ;-) Unfortunately the project didn’t make the cut but fortunately there is Hackweek yay! So, I spent the last couple of days playing around with Mono and C#, first I wrote a new loader for Mono, this allowed me to use recomp to register some services, next I modified unopkg to accept a Mono component bundled in an extension.

:"Last week was a Hack Week at Novell, so I spent some time working on a new idea I've been cooking in the past weeks: a Community Add-in Repository for MonoDevelop, which I'm calling Cydin.<br />
<br />
: The idea is to have a web site where add-in developers can publish their MonoDevelop add-ins and make them available to all users. The site works like a build bot: it pulls the source code of add-ins from version control repositories, builds and packages them, and then publishes them in an add-in repository, to which MonoDevelop will be subscribed."<br />

: "LTAF is an integration test framework developed by the Microsoft ASP.NET QA Team. Integration tests are different than unit tests, they actually test what a user would be doing by opening up the browser and filling in textboxes or clicking links. LTAF is nice because you write your tests in C# and run them in the browser of your choice, the disadvantage to this is you can’t have it easily integrate with a continuous integration system like CruiseControl.NET since there is no runner."<br />

: The last openSUSE release came out in November of 2009. It was the last openSUSE release before the project went onto a fixed eight-month release cycle. It's a bit slower than the Ubuntu and Fedora projects but gives a bit more time to work on the release. Lots of good stuff has been developed since 11.2."<br />

= My Way to openSUSE =<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
I never was a friend of MS Windows (although some of my friends gave me the dirt on it), but I accepted it and learned how to eliminate the bugs and unnecessary RAM wastage. One of my friends ([http://de.opensuse.org/Benutzer:STS301 STS301]) installed Ubunto nearly one year ago and had quite a lot of troubles with it. That put me off using Linux too. Moreover I thought that there are not enough applications available for daily use as in MS Windows. As I now know I was definitive wrong!<br />
<br />
== Getting Started ==<br />
<br />
In mid 2009 I had much to do with Linux (a.o. Ubunto and openSUSE). I recognized that Linux is not as bad as I always thought. So I partitioned my harddrive and installed openSUSE 11.1 with GNOME 2.24. At first I had some troubbles partitioning my harddrive, but it finaly worked!<br />
<br />
My first impression was that I did not find anything I know from Windows. But after some internet and library investigation I was able to configure my Laptop and use openSUSE regularly. At the time I think I am well enough to use openSUSE at everyday's work as well. I was astonished how easy it is to download, update and/or upgrade software. I had always thought that it is very hard to find software that fits. --> CONGRATULATIONS to this really good software!<br />
<br />
== Combination with Windows ==<br />
<br />
I need some programs for my education that only run on Windows (without problems). But because I do not want to reboot each lesson I need these programs, I decided to use a virtual machine. I chose Sun VirtualBox 3.1.4 which is OS. So I can easily work with Linux and Windows at the same time.<br />
<br />
= My work for openSUSE =<br />
<br />
As you have read in the article, I have not used openSUSE as long as others. But after some book researches I think I am quite well. But I am optimistic that I will cope with that. My aim is to work in the openSUSE community as well as I can. Moreover I try to make openSUSE palatable to others.<br />
<br />
My first job at openSUSE was (and is) at the openSUSE Marketing Team. I am translator from English to German and I am Event-Editor. Moreover since September 1, 2009 I work as an openSUSE Ambassador. I'm gladly looking forward to some events I can participate to represent openSUSE.<br />

====[http://news.opensuse.org/2010/05/20/opensuse-strategy-meeting/ '''openSUSE News: openSUSE Strategy Meeting''']====<br />
: "For the past few months we, the openSUSE Board, together with the great help from Kurt Garloff, Jan Weber and Andreas Jaeger, held a series of strategy sessions to address the future of openSUSE. We discussed the role of openSUSE as a community and project and looked at data from a variety of sources, including the recent openSUSE 2010 Survey to identify and build a strategy of strength and empowerment within our community, with a goal of establishing a common unified ground for answering the question to ourselves and to the world… “Why openSUSE?” and openSUSE’s role in the operating system market, both today and in the future.<br />
After much discussion, we’re finally ready to bring together these important bits of information into a cohesive statement that everyone can unify around. As such, we, the members of the Strategy Team, will be meeting in Nuremberg the weekend of May 28th to formalize a draft of our strategy that will be available publicly for open discussion and comment."<br />

: "or basic inventory of what we have.<br />
<br />
: Temporary openSUSE Wiki is created few moths ago to allow test of new tools and content reorganization without disrupting daily operation of openSUSE Wiki. It is running on MediaWiki version 1.15.1. The basic software is already much better then the old version 1.5, but the goal is not only to have one time cleanup, but also to organize wiki that will provide benefits for all involved parties: visitors, writers and maintainers. To achieve this we added few extensions to the basic MediaWiki listed here.<br />
<br />
: Semantic MediaWiki is complex extension that has its own extensions.It can become one of our flagships, but at the time of this post I don't know much about it."<br />

The difference is I disagree on how the schizophrenia affects our dear friend. Most people think that the multiple personalities are desktop related - you know, KDE vs GNOME vs XFCE vs $DE. I on the other hand feel it is to with audience - Enterprise vs Consumer. Now don't get me wrong, the Geeko does a great job at both. The problem is there doesn't seem to be a great deal of interaction between the two personalities."<br />

Often I reach out and try to bring to light issues that can serve to push Linux into new territory and light. It’s not often that I do so on this site, but sometimes I find it necessary to pull out my soap box and attempt to bring a little enlightenment to the masses."<br />
