I think, we need a new CD-Layout for the Li-f-e media - adapted to the 
new Li-f-e branding. Can Samyak create such a CD-Cover? Or is someone 
else interested? SVG Images are available in SVN...

Yes: David does a great job including Sugar into openSUSE - Thanks!
Just one question: I like to start single applications without the 
sugar-emulator from my normal window manager (like KDE, GNOME). Is this 
possible?

@Jan: please have a look at http://www.augeas.net/ (openSUSE package is 
in Factory and zypp:Head for 11.1). Using this nice tool for 
reading/writing lts.conf, I think we can convince at least the Fedora 
people ;-)

With kind regards,
