Summary: Bits of news about OpenSUSE, whose birthday too few people remembered or celebrated

EARLIER THIS month we wrote about OpenSUSE’s birthday [1, 2]. It was not celebrated as much as Debian’s birthday, so one of OpenSUSE’s biggest proponents has noticed that and publicly pointed it out in Linux Journal.

Poor openSUSE was nearly forgotten. Their fifth birthday fell on August 9 and only one Website remembered. OMG! SUSE! offered their birthday wishes and gave a few milestones. Mentioned was the initial release of openSUSE, 10.0, in October 2005 and there have been seven major releases since. The most recent was 11.3.

OpenSUSE has new problems.

Artwork for the next version of OpenSUSE is already being prepared and Linux Journal published this summary of the recent talk from Novell’s Markus Rex (mentioned last week).

Markus Rex talked about Fog Computing and took the opportunity to promote Novell’s proprietary software in a Linux event. This is why we persistently warn about Novell’s direction as a vendor; it’s too Novell-centric and it involves proprietary, not freedom (in other words, more of the usual). New examples will be given in the next post. █
