What we have, what we need. It also covers some topics from the mailinglists, like Weekly-news i18n. Plans for language specific news.o.o, why i18n is important for us. The Talk will also have short overview about the upcoming openSUSE spokesperson program.

the openSUSE Build Service. Its based on two openSUSE repositories that use them: openSUSE:Factory:Contrib and openSUSE:Factory

development. It allows you to build, test, run applications for other processor architectures using a combination of emulators and crossbuild. Emulators are already a normal part of OBS. An analysis has been made of the different ways to implement Cross Build to result in better interoperability with existing linux distributions for other architectures. The goal was to implement Cross Development as an orthogonal feature, and to glueless implement openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu for embedded architektures like ARM, sh4, mips in the same way as is done already by OBS for x86 and powerpc architectures.

provides an easy to use interface to quickly create images for live CDs, bootable USB sticks and VMware. It's also possible to conveniently customize software selection, configuration and theming of the appliances. Third party software may be integrated through coupling with the openSUSE Build Service. Studio's testdrive feature allows users to run the appliance via the web interface for testing and further configuration.

application crashes remain unreported due to different reasons.

library. It can be used to manage repositories, search for packages, install them, keep them up to date and more. This talk will highlight it's most interesting features, tips & tricks, and future plans.

has reached the level of completeness a 1.0 release, allowing users to now run a broad spectrum of applications between Office productivity applications, Games or speciality applications. This talk will give an introduction on how Wine works, what is possible and how it all works together, why it is not slower, why emulating only the runtime environment is to a distinct advantage compared to virtual machines.

The talks shows what the pitfalls and limitations are and how to get openSUSE working on Netbooks.

and a robust & fast package manager. 11.1 came out with more robust solving and various minor features. In this talk we will present all the features that have high priority for the next openSUSE release and areas where we are doing research that will eventually be features in future versions.

In the past, only Novell employees had access to the feature database where all features of upcoming products are tracked. Now the community can participate in the feature tracking process by requesting new features, browse existing features and contributing to them. We launched the openFATE web application (http://features.opensuse.org) shortly before FOSDEM. The talk shows how it works and explains how incoming feature requests will be handled.

in the Kablink Open Collaboration project. See how the Kablink platform allows you to build applications that solve problems while encouraging collaboration among your team members. During this session an application will be developed that takes advantage of the social networking features of Kablink while solving a common teamworking problem.

on the GNOME land of openSUSE. It turns out that since then, many things have happened and 2008 helped the team achieve a lot. This talk will present some interesting technical changes on your desktop and how it affects the while distribution, but will also focus on the GNOME team and its processes, like for example our use of the build service.

project. In this talk, the KDE team presents how it works with the community to introduce the new KDE 4 desktop to the distribution so that it meets users' needs. Recent developments in KDE and the measures taken to smooth the transition from KDE 3 are shown.
