instlux as part of the openSUSE project



instlux became part of the openSUSE project with the 10.3 public release of openSUSE. The instlux project will no longer be mantained at sourceforge, but at the openSUSE community, which is a big community and I am very proud of contributing the project to it.

So, from now on:

homepage: http://en.opensuse.org/Instlux

bug traquer: http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports

support (forums, mailing lists, etc.):
http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate

The only thing that will remain at sourceforge will be code, that is, the svn. However there will be no new releases at sourceforge, as they will be released together with the openSUSE releases.

You can read about instlux at the novell connection magazine:

Being instlux part of openSUSE is a very good thing for the project, actually I can not think about anything better, as being part of a bigger community gives instlux a better future that does not depend only on me having free time.

Awesome news Jordi! You should get an 'instlux' component in Bugzilla (maybe called 'Installation - Windows') which can have you as the contact. If you'd like this then coolo is the person to contact.

You could also consider moving your SVN over to openSUSE.org's svn (contact jsrain): you can get details at http://svn.opensuse.org
