Summary: Assorted Novell and OpenSUSE news with emphasis on videos
IT HAS BEEN about a month since we last took stock of Novell’s new videos. There is nothing fascinating among them, but this file was uploaded a month ago to celebrate a Novell “Success Story” and Novell has begun utilising some account that’s described as follows: “Novell’s Learning Channel (sponsored by Novell Training Services) is focused on enhancing your ability to use Novell products effectively.”

Well, to name just some of the earlier videos that were uploaded by it last month:
Novell IDM 3.5: Schema MappingNovell IDM 3.6: New FeaturesNovell IDM 3.5: Update Designer SchemaNovell IDM 3.5: Authoritative Sources
Novell’s main account uploads some of that too, e.g.:
Update Designer with New SchemaIdentity Server Demo: New Features for Schema Mapping
It goes on like that and more advertisements for proprietary software come from that account, e.g. the following one.

“IdentityServerDemo” has uploaded another 10 or so videos. Novell is really filling YouTube up with commercials and supportive material for proprietary software. Hamline University added its own share to it and here is an unusual SUSE video from last month. The agitated dog is eating the SUSE mascot:

On and on it goes with some Apple staff that talks about Novell, not just foes who share Novell hacks or Novell ZCM instructions.

Masim Sugianto writes some instructions for software on OpenSUSE [1, 2, 3, 4]. Other posts about software on OpenSUSE (mostly packaging) cover Skrooge, iFolder, AutoYaST, openFATE, and LATEX editors:

I have started maintaining three packages, namely Texmaker, TeXworks and Rubber, in the Publishing repository. These applications make working with and compiling latex documents user-friendly and painless.
The OpenSUSE Web site has some new photos from a Venezuela OpenSUSE launch party (a little belated). Some people publicly embrace OpenSUSE 11.3 [1, 2] and Andreas Jaeger is frustrated by people who do not report issues that they encounter.

I received an email from a user who switched from openSUSE to Ubuntu since his Wireless netcard did not work. It worked with openSUSE 11.2 initially but after an online update it failed. He hoped that openSUSE 11.3 worked, tested it, it failed – and he gave up and wrote a frustrated email.I was frustrated reading this since we should have been able to help this user if he contacted us in time.
The Wiki-based Weekly News has this new release and OpenSUSE’s wiki having spam problems. Techrights has seen a sharp increase in wiki spam too over the past month.

Novell’s OpenSUSE “boosters” are trying to grow the team [1, 2] and the marketing folks are imitating Ubuntu with a site and merchandise whilst others further refine the looks of OpenSUSE [1, 2]. █
