June 9 - New openSUSE forums!

New openSUSE forums go live June 9th at http://forums.openSUSE.org!

In order to provide a better service to the existing openSUSE Community
and to our new users, we're pleased to announce that suseforums.net,
suselinuxsupport.de and the openSUSE support forums at forums.novell.com
(the three largest English speaking dedicated SUSE forums) are joining
forces to merge into the new official openSUSE Forums at
http://forums.opensuse.org . See the official notice on the openSUSE
wiki.

Behind the scenes, a project team consisting of Novell employees,
openSUSE Community members, and the existing staff from all three sets
of forums have been working on this project since the beginning of 2008.
The new infrastructure will be hosted by Novell to ensure the highest
possible quality of service. The new forums will be an integral part of
the openSUSE web site/wiki and will offer the combined knowledge pool
of all three forum members and staff.

Current plans are to migrate the existing active members of suseforums.net
and suselinuxsupport.de into the official openSUSE Forums, simultaneously
implementing Single Sign On for the whole openSUSE Community. We hope
to make the transition as seamless as possible.

All in all, a big gain for the whole openSUSE Community!
