Is it time for OpenSUSE to say goodbye to Novell?
It seems after years of working together in developing a complete Linux platform the openSUSE project that was taken in by Novell have developed different interests are seeking to co-exist with different set of goals and ideas. The OpenSUSE community is developing their own community statement and is now looking for wider horizons. The main objective of this statement is to clarify their goals and put forth a new technical focus of their project.
OpenSUSE is open source software and uses graphical interfacing using the UNIX platform. It released its first version in 1994 and since then 11 versions have been released. The current stable version is 11.2 which was released in Nov 2009.
It all started after a year of acquiring the Linux OS SUSE, Novell changed the project on its head and made it a contributory application. As a result individual developers were able to submit their widgets on this OS and this gave the birth to OpenSUSE. An open source platform that could be used by anyone without having the need to acquire any license.
