Revision as of 13:59, 7 November 2009

The openSUSE Boosters Team

The mission of the team is to stay focused on topics around the openSUSE project to push the project forward as a part and for the benefit of the community.

Some of the main targets are

• Distribution - help to build the best Linux distribution in an open, inviting and independent community.
• Infrastructure - although we are already in a very good shape with the projects software infrastructure we can do even more.
• Lower the Bar - make it easier for new contributers and users to get on speed in the project.
• Spread the Word about openSUSE.

See Projects page for more information.

You can reach the Team on the mailing list (subscribe via Email or on the #opensuse-boosters IRC channel on freenode.

This is the current team of people dedicated to work on the openSUSE project with their full work time:
