[14:03] schestowitz[TR2][14:03] schestowitz[TR2]Why is this edition so important? Over the past year, openSUSE has undergone so many changesnew variants, new abbreviations, logo redesigns, and even name tweaksthat even the most loyal fans have trouble keeping up.

[14:03] schestowitz[TR2]With rumors swirling about what Leap 16 will bring, Ill say it plainly: openSUSE Leap 16 has all the familiar features youve grown to love, plus some great new updates, without any sharp turns from the concept you already know. Heres what to expect.

[15:00] schestowitz[TR2][15:00] schestowitz[TR2]Were very happy to announce that Arm Ltd. and specifically its Works on Arm team has sent us a fast Ampere Altra Max server to support Gentoo development. With 96 Armv8.2+ 64bit cores, 256 GByte of RAM, and 4 TByte NVMe storage, it is now hosted together with some of our other hardware at OSU Open Source Lab. The machine will be a clear boost to our future arm64 (aarch64) and arm (32bit [15:00] schestowitz[TR2] ) support, via installation stage builds and binary packages, architecture testing of Gentoo packages, as well as our close work with upstream projects such as GCC and glibc. Thank you!
