Some people have apparently begun packing for their Christmas vacation because there haven't been many OpenSUSE items in the past week. Among those that are easily found we have Rosevear's profile and results from the OpenSUSE Contributor Survey.

281 contributors from the openSUSE community participated in a survey last month.

The third issue of OpenSUSE Weekly News was released as well.

The third issue of openSUSE Weekly News is out! In this issue:

* openSUSE 11.0 Alpha 0 * KDE Four Live 0.8, KDE 4.0 RC2 Packages, and Koffice Alpha6 Packages * Indonesian openSUSE Community Annual Meeting a Huge Success * Results from the openSUSE Contributor Survey * In Tips and Tricks: How to Change to the GNOME or KDE-style YaST, Calculations in Kickoff (KDE Menu), Fonts: Subpixel Hinting

A new version/image (RC2) of KDE Four Live CD, which is OpenSUSE-based, has been released.

The CDs contain all modules of KDE 4, KOffice 2 SVN and extra plasmoids.

Here is an early review of OpenSUSE 11, which is still in early alpha.

This is a development version, so we should suppose that all the bugs I encountered here are going to be removed in the final version. The system itself, and most of the applications that are working are already quite stable. Considering this, openSUSE 11 is going to be a pretty good distribution. It has a big user base, recent versions for packages, some support from Novell, all the components are good integrated, there are nice GUIs for the most common settings, it is supposed to have good interoperability with Microsoft software.

That's all for now. ⬆
