EOS Design System
The solution to bring good UX to all OSS

presented by csanchez@suse.de, Jesus Herman-Marina

In the past UX design was a commodity in the paid consumer world, where companies like Facebook, Google, Uber would invest millions on. Today the gap is closing. Enterprise and Open Source applications are in need of better UX too.

On the other hand, many companies of all different sizes struggle with today's IT agendas: bleeding edge software, agile development, short time-to-market, etc., ...

Kubic with its MicroOS core is an exciting distribution that takes much of the cool stuff we're doing in Tumbleweed, adds solutions to the problems of updating a running system, and is becoming the perfect base system for running containers.

But in openSUSE, running server stuff is only half the fun.

Right now many RPM spec files contain large parts of boiler plate code. In the current development cycle of RPM we try to help reducing this clutter. We hope we can make packaging easier by providing means to have pre-arranged building blocks and offer more control over larger sets of packages. This will also change the relation between RPM as a multipurpose tool and the single package/packager...

With normal updates, changes are done immediately to /etc during the updates. With atomic updates, they are only visible with the next reboot.
