We've mastered yesterday openSUSE 10.2 RC5 and declared it as goldmaster.
Looking at the comments on the opensuse mailing list and on the websites I hear that 10.2 could become a "great distribution". I hope it does and like to thank all of you for your part in it, especially for:
- Translating software in even more languages than before
- Testing openSUSE 10.2
- Reporting bugs and fixes
- Maintaining packages in our openSUSE build service that got synced into the distribution (I know the sync is a manual process now and I'm looking forward to improvements)
- Helping others testing 10.2
- Suggestions on how to improve 10.2
Our build folks have created the first set of ISO images and will continue to create all of them - and the complete ftp distribution - early next week. We'll start syncing soon the images to the ftp mirrors so that they have all files on thursday, 7th December, for the announcement.
CD production is starting now and I hope to see some shiny green openSUSE 10.2 boxes on the shelves before Christmas.
There are still a lot of bugs open for 10.2 and I'm sure real usage over the time will find some more. We will release via online update security updates for 10.2 as usual and release also the most severe bug fixes. But most bug fixes will only be done for 10.3, our next release coming out next summer.
