| OpenSUSE Community Manager discusses 11.1 release |
Dec. 23, 2008
 Last week, the Novell-sponsored OpenSUSE project achieved version 11.1 of its community-supported Linux distribution. Because the release includes watershed new features like a new license, new build system, and significant upstream integrations, DesktopLinux collared Community Manager Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier for perspective about what it all means.
Our mini-interview with Brockmeier addresses the following:- License changes and open source EULA/trademark license unification
- Challenges of license translation
- Novell's Go.OO branch of OpenOffice
- Licensing of SUSE-specific configuration tools such as YAST
- How Novell's deal with Microsoft affects open source
- The state of KDE in OpenSUSE 11.1, and future releases
- The results of OpenSUSE's community outreach efforts
Throughout the interview, we include screenshots to illustrate the points being discussed. To read the full interview, click below.
