Some remarks, the OBS text speak about more things which we don't really have in a mature state. I think it would be better to point out to the cool stuff which we have already. For example: COOL: * Everybody can build rpm or debian packages for openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu Mandriva, SLES or RHEL from one source. The building is done in a 100% reproducable way. COOL++: * Build jobs can be monitored and controlled via web, CLI or via simple REST API. * Local builds can be done easily targeting any distribution without the need to install such a system yourself. * appliances or entire distribution products can get build * Your users can add the repositories in their installers directly * modifications and fast prototyping of single packages or large software stacks can be done easily, eg. test your software stack with a new compiler or base library. * Every developer or end-user can easily see how packages have been changed, branch them and submit modifications back. * Distribution maintenance update support is about to come to OBS. For more information please visit: http://build.opensuse.org In general there is quite a lot of links and space to used to link to closed environments like facebook. And no link to our free resources like news.o.o. I don't think that this is a good first impression for a OSS project. Also below appinstaller you say that we collaborate with Red Hat, while this is not wrong, I think we should maybe better mention the Fedora project instead, because that is our working base to each other. Below Tumbleweed, I would personally like to see it mentioned that OBS is used as collaboration place for that project ;) However, while I of course agree that our infrastructure is great, I think it takes too much room on this paper. At least when you target end-users in first place, they don't want to build packages or appliances, they want cool applications. And they want a nice community, no word about the forums, mail and IRC here. This IMHO what should be mentioned first instead of Studio and OBS. > But we're back in Business, Karl Cheney has made an updated version - and > here > it is.
