hennevogel on "Board Elections: (Re-)Apply for Membership now": Sorry it took so long to publish this but its Football First with me
Embdded on "Early review of openSUSE 11.2": Joe While I did install 11.2 RC1 on a HP DV2830SE where the artwork complemented the SE's cover I had to uninstall RC1. Worked fine on kubuntu 9.10 RC1. Why you ask? No NVIDIA drivers 7150 (N630 chip) in the repo and no support of the BCM4322 (any version) (Which are supported for 11.1) for the drivers I could find Yast dutifully told me they were not for this version. Other than that a fine install but I could not proceed to
caf4926 on "Early review of openSUSE 11.2": Never mind what this dude has to say. It's what You (I) say that matters. My installation of 11.2Rc1 went without a hitch. It defaults to a selection of KDE from the DVD (Interesting) and fine for me as I use KDE. There have been a considerable number of enhancements to the install process to help the newbies out there. I was up and running in less than 15 mins. And boot time is much improved. For RC it is
Mishko on "Early review of openSUSE 11.2": I'm sorry but this guy can barely even search for his own city, let alone provide a decent webcast. Three errors in a row and then sounding confused? Perhaps doing a quick rehearsal first might have been worth the time. If you want excellent webcast examples, - Aaron Seigo's stuff will help you there.
Xil on "Early review of openSUSE 11.2": Sorry but that is a bad review, its not a review of OpenSuSE, its a review op KDE 4.3, openSuSE is about YAST, one-click install, things like that.... the screencast: "there is actually a software update, I think it's this little green-guy here", sorry but he should have shown YAST, search for a program there, install it without dependency hastle.
AlbertoP on "Upcoming Board Elections": I misread. Good also that all member are elected for the same time. Two years is too long though, for the same reasons I said above. There is no need of such a long term in the board, and it is better to have a dynamic change in the board too, with the impossibility to re-elect members for more than two times.
AlbertoP on "Upcoming Board Elections": Adding a new non-novell position is a good idea to increase the credibility of the board as community oriented tool, however making the positions (all) last two years partly hides this result. Given the goals of the board, having a two-year governance is not required, in my opinion. Moreover, I would like not to see again the split between board members elected for two years and board members elected for only one year. Restricting the vote to members is keeping the
Joyce on "SCALE 8x Call for Papers Open": sounds interesting...I'll have to wait and see who the speakers will be.
zaine_ridling on "Nice openSUSE / KDE 4.3 Review": SJVN is a trusted source and he doesn't give such glowing reviews lightly. But as many have found, openSUSE 11.x KDE has really been impressive to date. And it's no accident that KDE has always been more stable on openSUSE then other distros. That takes a lot of coding attention to details.
michl on "openSUSE Board Meeting Minutes, June 3 2009": The programme will be announced in the very next days.
Interested on "openSUSE Board Meeting Minutes, June 3 2009": When will be more information available about the openSUSE conference?
Stephen Shaw on "Stephen Shaw has been appointed as openSUSE Board Member": Just for the record, its Stephen Shaw (without the n
j.eng on "Ark Linux is becoming the first third-party distro other than openSUSE to adopt ZYpp as its package manager. ": It's the only sane choice: * smart claimed that apt did not find all updates (due to its algorithm) * then, smart is terribly slow (the solve stage taking >45 mins on an older 933 MHz machine) * and overly memory-intensive (see Duncan's blog post) * referring to "breaking the interpreter" in the Ark post: it has happened to me; worth noting that you have to upgrade python (when SUSE moved 2.4->2.6) and its modules at once (but of course you could not have
db on "iFolder: Come and Get It!": Novell announced and released iFolder (June 2001) before Apple had an iPod (Oct 2001). So just maybe everything doesn't really revolve around what Apple does.
JGJones on "Captioned SLED Videos": Not sure if you do trackbacks, so I've written a short response to this over here on my blog. Thanks, this is awesome and very much appericated!
foldingathome on "iFolder: Come and Get It!": >folder It is called directory. >iFolder .oO( youFolder ) .oO( iDirectory ) .oO( wtf does everyone need to use Apple-like names? )
Rikki Kite on "LinuxFest Northwest: 10 Years?! See You There?": See you there! Stop by the Linux Pro booth and we'll give you an Maddog-autographed copy.
Jehzeel Laurente on "iFolder: Come and Get It!": this is a great new open suse software! wooooooooot!
Lars on "openSUSE Reference Card?": As mentioned in another comment already: what about a Quick Start telling people where they can get what they want?
For example:
* apparmor.opensuse.org
* bugzilla.novell.com
* crashdb.opensuse.org
* education.opensuse.org
* forums.opensuse.org
* lists.opensuse.org
* lizards.opensuse.org
* news.opensuse.org
* software.opensuse.org
* www.opensuse.org
* zonker.opensuse.org
* ...
Another example:
* How to find apparmor profiles?
* How to get updates for their distribution?
* How to get support?
* How to get the latest (KDE/GNOME/whatever) software?
* How to find/subscribe to a mailinglist?
* How to find support in the forums?
* How to become an openSUSE member?
* How to join/talkLars on "What Belongs on "Announce"?": Just an idea that for sure needs more brainstorming - but first start with the background. People installing openSUSE for the first time get the "well known popup" during their first login - OK. We tell people that they should create an account on opensuse.org to participate in the wiki, bugzilla, forums, ... We invite them to many places of opensuse.org - and even I didn't know every subdomain like: * apparmor.opensuse.org, * crashdb.opensuse.org or * lizards.opensuse.org * ... Looks like openSUSE developers again and again
