Release day is finally here! I hope that all the people who’ve worked hard on this release have a chance to step back and marvel at what has been accomplished by the openSUSE Project.

Despite a short release cycle, switching build systems, and a pesky power outage that slowed development for a few days, the project has put out another solid release and kept the Web infrastructure from melting under the load, too.

I’d really like to give a big “thank you” to all the people that have been involved in this release. The very best part of my job is working with all the contributors who make openSUSE Linux happen. I couldn’t ask to work with a more dedicated or more talented group of people. They deserve major thanks for making it all happen. And, of course, the upstream projects, too — without the help of the wider community, openSUSE Linux wouldn’t be possible.

So, if you haven’t already, head over to the announcement and then to the download page and get yourself some fresh openSUSE 11.1. (I hear it makes a great Christmas present…)
