I'm glad to announce that I have given over my responsibilities for the
openSUSE distribution to Stephan Kulow <coolo@suse.de>. As from now on
Stephan is project manager for the openSUSE distribution.

Stephan - known also as Coolo - the "born release dude", has been with
Novell/SUSE for five years. Before that he worked on Linux distributions
at Caldera.  His wide experience in Linux includes the dinosaurs (called
s390), desktop technology (KDE), several build systems (including his
own at Caldera), and SUSE tools like package translation.

Stephan's first challenge will be the release of openSUSE 10.3 Alpha6
this week and I fear I've left him some hard nuts to crack.  Having
worked with Stephan for many years, we can expect nothing but an
excellent openSUSE
10.3 release in the end. ;-)

Btw. in my new function as Director of Platform and openSUSE, I'll stay
involved with openSUSE,

Andreas

Caldera were building people? Why didn't we hear about this before?
