I'd like to share the following information regarding our roadmap with
you before I take off for the weekend ;-).  First let me introduce
myself: I'm responsible as project manager for the engineering side of
SUSE Linux.

SUSE Linux 10.1 Roadmap
=======================

We've added the following SUSE Linux 10.1 milestones to the openSUSE
roadmap (http://www.opensuse.org/Roadmap):

2005-09-29: SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha1
2005-10-27: SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha2
2005-11-24: SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha3
2005-12-22: SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha4
2006-01-19: SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta1
2006-01-26: SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta2
2006-02-02: SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta3
2006-02-09: SUSE Linux 10.1 Beta4
2006-02-16: SUSE Linux 10.1 RC1

For the Alpha phase of the project we will release a full release that
has gone through *some* internal testing approximately every four
weeks.  Then, just as we did with SUSE Linux 10.0, we will release
builds weekely during the beta phase.
 
For the near future we plan to provide regular syncs of RPMs directly
out of our buildsystem (without any testing).


SUSE Linux 10.1 Features
========================

Next week I'll start looking closely at the feature wishlist
(http://www.opensuse.org/Feature_Wishlist) and the various package
wishlists (http://www.opensuse.org/Package_Wishlist).  I'd like then
to start a discussion with you on these topics and let's see what we
can do together.

New Packages for SUSE Linux
===========================

For the SUSE Linux 10.1 release, we hope to be able to integrate some
of the packages and features that have been requested on the wishlists
into SUSE Linux. We will, however, focus our resources on our
next-generation build infrastructure which will allow more direct
participation for every interested packager and developer in the
openSUSE project. Expect a first version of the new build server early
in 2006

If you want to build packages for openSUSE now, consider contributing
to the existing packaging initiatives. One development goal for SUSE
Linux 10.1 is improving YaST to better integrate those existing
package repositories.


SUSE Linux 10.0 Status
========================

Congratulations! We have finished development of SUSE Linux 10.0!

My personal thanks go out to all of you who participated and
contributed to the creation of SUSE Linux 10.0. This week we have
released the final ISO images to our internal
testing/verification/manufacturing process - that process takes a
little time.  The final "approved ISOs" will be uploaded and released
to you on the 6th of October. We will be releasing CD images of SUSE
Linux 10.0 OSS and a DVD Eval of SUSE Linux 10.0 (I'll document these
media on the wiki later).

Cheers,
Andreas
