Although LinuxTag is about five months away, you should consider submitting your proposal for a presentation about your favourite Open Source project.

Being a Gnome user in my department made me a kind of outsider. Nearly all my colleagues use or even develop KDE. After half a year harassment, I finally decided to switch to KDE4 with my update to openSUSE 11.1 Beta 4.

Hence I asked the organizers if they can provide the openSUSE project some space for an openSUSE booth and generously they agreed to this. Now [...]
- To all sysadmins: thank you!
Traditionally - mainly because I also have worked as sysadmin for years - I enjoy to celebrate SysAdminDay every last Friday in July.
- Trust metrics for the openSUSE Build Service
After a lot of inspiring conversations with co-workers at SUSE and friends from the open source community I finally published a first abstract draft how we could add some metrics to openSUSE build service to create a trust system.
