openSUSE Factory and Tumbleweed to merge The openSUSE project has announcedthat the "Factory" and "Tumbleweed" distributions will merge into a single rolling distribution (called "Tumbleweed"). There is also an FAQ posting about the merger. " With
the vast improvements to the Factory development process over the last 2
years, we effectively found ourselves as a project with not one, but two
rolling release distributions in addition to our main regular release
distribution. GregKH signalled his intention to stop maintaining Tumbleweed
as a 'rolling-released based on the current release'. It seemed a natural
decision then to bring both the Factory rolling release and Tumbleweed
rolling release together, so we can consolidate our efforts and make
openSUSE's single rolling release as stable and effective as
possible." | | 4:51p |

Taiga, a new open source project management tool with focus on usability (Opensource.com) Opensource.com takes
a look at the Taiga project management tool. " It started with
the team at Kaleidos, a Madrid-based company that builds software for both
large corporations and startups. Though much of their time is spent working
for clients, several times a year they break off for their own Personal
Innovation Weeks (Î WEEK). These are weeklong hack-a-thons dedicated to personal improvement and prototyping internal ideas of all sorts. While there, they unanimously decided to solve the biggest of their own problems: project management.
Taiga was born, and by early 2014, the team at Kaleidos was already using
Taiga for all their internal projects. Taiga Agile, LLC was formed in
February 2014 to give the project a formal structure, and the source code
was made available at GitHub." |
