    OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 milestone 1 released
    The first
    development release     of the upcoming openSUSE 42.1 distribution is

    because the milestone is able to be deployed without the additional future
    items and subsystems that will become available when Leap is officially
    released.    "

    GNUnet: IETF getting cold feet about P2P Names?

    The GNUnet blog has this story about recent resistance from the IETF toward the standardization of "special use" domain names (such as .onion or .gnu) "to reduce the likelihood of ICANN accidentally creating a conflicting gTLD assignment."

    Despite the provisions made in RFC 6761, the article notes that "there are also a number of DNS-centric people with a totally lack of alacrity in the dnsop WG to continue to stall the process by repeating arguments that were exchanged dozens of times in hundreds of e-mails." Among those offering resistance, it reports, is Internet Architecture Board Chair Andrew Sullivan, who "says the IETF should not support special use domain names threatening the DNS business model."
