The Future is Unwritten

...and so is the title of this presentation

This session will discuss in detail a new SUSE project and start the discussion on its potential benefits for openSUSE
It'll explain some of the concepts, the thoughts behind this new approach and provide some ideas about future processes, especially those which relate to openSUSE and the adoption, support, and maintenance of code between SUSE and openSUSE

7. 7 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.
8. 8 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
