openSUSE's different shades of green
a view on openSUSE from two benevolent ex-SUSE guys
Long-time community member, open source developer, and former SUSE distinguished engineer, Cornelius dedicated a significant part of his professional and private life on openSUSE and other open source communities. These days he manages open source at a large German corporation.
Klaas Freitag
Klaas is a long term open source hacker and activist, meanwhile finding himself in groups with names like "SUSE Dinos". Besides working on "serious" cloud software, he never stopped believing in the Linux desktop and thus likes to work on tools that attract new user to the platform. For example handcrafters, family moms or scientists.
No video of the event yet, sorry!
How does openSUSE look from the outside? In this talk, two SUSE expats share how their Geeko hearts started to ache when they were no longer part of the inner circle.
Where are openSUSE's strengths, and how are they shining? Where does it desperately need to improve to maintain relevance? There is so much excellence across so many disciplines to be presented to communities outside SUSE's roof. Is openSUSE targeted being an in-house project, or is it ready to engage more broadly with the open source world?
Expect some war stories from the days after, and some highly subjective advice. We will leave you and us with some answers and many open questions.
