THE PROJECT called "OpenSUSE" does not receive direct support from Attachmate. It is up to itself and to donations from Google Summer of Code [1, 2, 3] to drive the project further, even though there is no considerable progress.
The third openSUSE Conference will occur on September 11-14, and there are only a few days left to submit a talk: the call for papers is open until next Monday! So don't think twice, and go submit something now. If you really want to think twice, take a look at our guidelines for speakers, they should convince it's worth the effort!
