Delay of openSUSE 12.2 RC1
On monday Stephan Kulow wrote a mail to the openSUSE-Factory mailinglist in which he express his doubts that openSUSE 12.2 RC1 will be released this week. He thinks that it might not even ready in this month. Although the live CDs work again the DVD does not. There are around 120 packages that doesn't work yet. Two major packages are WebYaST and the Go programming language tools. Quelle: openSUSE-Factory-Mailinglist

Announcing the Make Play Live Partner Network
In the wake of the announcement of the rst ever KDE powered tablet, quite a few interesting things are happening in the 3 background. One of them is the formation of a professional Partner Network for devices such as the Vivaldi tablet . Let's look at this Partner Network in more detail. The Make Play Live Partner Program is designed to build and support a collaborative business and economic network. Members work together to provide comprehensive professional service and product offerings around Plasma Active and devices such as Vivaldi. Professional support options make it easier to convince potential parties, such as users, clients, customers and partners, bringing KDE software to a larger group of users. As not all services needs are the same, a way to identify the right companies is important. The Make Play Live Partner Network therefore de nes four different types of partners: Add-ons Partner -- These participants focus on development and support of post-purchase content. You will usually nd the work of Add-ons Partners in the Add-ons app provided in Plasma Active, either in the form of apps or content, such as books, movies, music, etc. Integration Partner -- An integration partner is the "Goto-Resource" for customization and integration of technologies used in Make Play Live products. Integration partners have experience with technologies such as Plasma Active or the Mer operating system, and are the right partners to get these products running on your device or in your environment. Enterprise Partner -- If you need support for deployments in enterprise settings, such as companies, schools, (non)governmental organizations or elsewhere, talk to any of our enterprise partner about the challenges you face and how they are prepared to solve these for you. Retail Representative -- These partners form the retail backbone for Make Play Live products and services by offering sales channels between individual customers and Make Play Live. Partners may be represented in one or more segments of the program. All partners work together in a collaborative fashion that allows them to deliver more sophisticated and complete offerings than any individual partner could on their own. The partners also share a commitment to supporting the Free software communities and products behind the technologies, with a dual focus on direct contribution and the long-term sustainability of these communities.

John Blanford of VAULTechnology says, "As we do more computing with mobile devices, the long term trend is towards closed platforms where the software, the hardware and the available services are proprietary and locked down. We are headed for a future of closed platforms. Vivaldi is all about the ecosystem! Tablet development today is dominated by some of the world's largest companies. If we hope to play in this arena, to make a real difference in the world, we can only do it as a community. Alone we are small, but together as partners, we have a chance." Coherent Theory LLC, the company orchestrating the Vivaldi and Make Play Live efforts, is facilitating the creation and development of this Partner Network. Companies and groups that are interesting in participating are encouraged to contact Coherent Theory via email to partners@makeplaylive.com. The following members of the Make Play Live Partner Network have already joined: basysKom GmbH -- Integration Partner open-slx GmbH -- Retail Representative (Europe) VAULTechnology LLC -- Retail Representative (Americas) and Enterprise Partner KO GmbH -- Add-ons and Integration Partner Kolab Systems AG -- Enterprise Partner Xompu GmbH -- Enterprise and Add-ons Partner INdT

A New Font Repository
What do you need when you write some text? Content, of course. Apart from your content you need an additional piece to make it a shiny contribution: fonts! If you don't know already, we now have a new repository dedicated just to fonts. With the invaluable work and effort from Petr Gajdos, Takashi Iwai, and all the creative designers, we now have more than 13 14 100 Open Source fonts in the M17N:fonts repository. Most fonts are licensed under the OFL or other open/free licenses.

Thanks a lot to all! This repository contains fonts like the previously mentioned Exo typeface , the famous Linux Libertine , 17 or fonts from the Google Web fonts page to name a few. With all these fonts available at your hand, you have many choices to make your text readable and attractive as you like, be it on the Web or in print. Previous to openSUSE 12.1, all the fonts had a terrible naming convention: some contained a fonts pre x, others did not. Now all fonts follow a naming convention to make it easy to nd. So don't be surprised when your font package has been 18 renamed. If you need further information, check out my original idea from FATE#3130359 . Packagers will probably nd 19 the article about Packaging Fonts in the openSUSE Wiki helpful. The new M17N:fonts repository collects all fonts now and in the future. New fonts will appear and be developed there. To use it, add the repository to your list: zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/M17N:/fonts/openSUSE_12.1/M17N:fonts.repo Currently, the supported distributions are openSUSE 11.4, 12.1, Evergreen 11.1, 11.2, Factory, Tumbleweed, as well as SLE11 SP1 and SP2. Have fun and be creative with the new fonts! Source: thomas schraitle

Kernel Review
Linux 3.4 released quickly, after smooth development cycle
Just over two months after its last major release, Linus Torvalds has posted the newest version of the open source Linux kernel, which supports new graphics processors from Nvidia and Intel, improves le system functionality and comes with a new security module. Torvalds, who oversees input from thousands of programmers, commented on how smoothly work on this release proceeded. "I think the 3.4 release cycle as a whole has been fairly calm. Sure, I always wish for the [release candidates] to calm down more quickly than they ever seem to do, but I think on the whole we didn't have any big disruptive events, which is just 59 how I like it," he wrote, in an email announcing the release . "Let's hope the 3.5 merge window is a calm one too." Source: Computerworld
