Open Enterprise & Open Community - Working Together

SUSE Linux Enterprise is able to provide the solid platform to customers thanks largely to a community project that experiments and implements many of the innovative technologies that you see in commercial products today. That community project is openSUSE. This session will discuss the latest developments in the openSUSE Project, shed light on other technologies being developed inside openSUSE, and share insights into some possibilities for the future. It will also detail areas where the openSUSE project directly impacts Enterprise customers, and the benefits of SLE customers being more involved as community members.

6. 6 Evergreen openQA snapper wicked
7. 7 One Project, Three Distributions • openSUSE Tumbleweed ‒ 'Rolling Release' (Constant Updates) • openSUSE ‒ Regular Releases (Every 8-12 months) • openSUSE Evergreen ‒ 'Long Duration Support' (Patches for extra years)
8. 8 openSUSE® distribution • Consumer/'Conservative Enthusiast' focus • Successor to the 'SUSE® Linux' Boxed distribution • First release was 'SUSE Linux 10.0' in October 2005 • Renamed 'openSUSE' with 10.2 in December 2006 • openSUSE 13.2 was released on 4th November 2014 • Our 14th release! • Over 7000 packages (& many more in OBS)
10. 10 “Man is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all” - Thomas Carlyle
11. 11 Building Linux Better • Open Build Service started in February 2006 • Used to build the openSUSE® & SUSE® distributions • Can also build packages for other distributions (Fedora/Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, etc) • Also used by ownCloud, Linux Foundation, VideoLAN (VLC), Dell, Cray, Intel and more.
12. 12 Testing Linux Better • openQA started in November 2009 • Able to fully test Linux distributions from install to user applications • Integral part of the openSUSE® Tumbleweed & Regular Release process • Used by SUSE® to test SUSE Linux Enterprise • Recently adopted by Red Hat to test Fedora
13. 13 Testing Linux Better • openQA started in November 2009 • Able to fully test Linux distributions from install to user applications • Integral part of the openSUSE® Tumbleweed & Regular Release process • Used by SUSE® to test SUSE Linux Enterprise • Recently adopted by Red Hat to test Fedora Learn more about openQA Thursday 10:15AM in this Room
14. Tumbleweed
15. 15 Rolling on... “Rolling Releases are the future of Linux Distributions” - Richard Brown, openSUSE Chairman and someone else, probably
16. 16 What is a Rolling Release? • No Release Schedule • Frequent Updates to all Packages • Updates delivered “when they're ready”
17. 17 openSUSE® Tumbleweed • Originally 'rolling updates' based on stable releases created by Greg Kroah-Hartman • Merged with the 'Factory' rolling release on November 4th 2014 • Now a 'true' rolling release • Provides the latest updates 'at the pace of contribution', without the risk of major system issues • Tested by openQA continuously • Developer, Contributor & Enthusiast focus

41. 41 SLE Sources for openSUSE • The latest SUSE Linux Enterprise Sources are available in the Open Build Service NOW • This includes the Sources for Patches
42. 42 CentOS for SUSE? (SLENTOS) • Sources are made available by SUSE, not Binaries • Intention is to enable openSUSE to build a unique offering to 'close the gap' • “Best of Both Worlds” is a lot more interesting than a clone of an Enterprise Distribution
