openSUSE conference – Software Portal Talk

What is the Software Portal?

Applications

Why is it needed?

Many repositories

Package duplication.

Lack of user-feedback

Confusing concepts

Insufficient data

Implementation Platform

Future Plans

A recommendation engine

User-specific search.

Translation

Use Build-Service remoting or Hermes notification framework

Integration with bugzilla

Integration with upstream

The Master Plan

Demo

How can you help?

Switzerland

Eggishorn to Bettmerhorn

GrimselPass from Gletch

GrimselPass Towards Meiringen
