I am curious; I am currently in neu-isenburg (BTW, nice area), but leaving friday morning. Where is the actual linuxtag at? and how long does it run for?

It's in Wiesbaden and it runs until Saturday. Wiesbaden is about 20 mi from Neu-Isenburg west of Frankfurt.

I was mainly showing amaroK in action, but there were also some slides, located at http://www.kde.org/kdeslides/ (they are in German). Check out the last few ones... ;-)

Stephan Binner and myself will be presenting the new features in SUSE 10.1 during the 10.1 presentation at 1330 in Room 6.2 on Thursday. Expect to see Kerry, the KDE Beagle client; KNetworkManager, allowing easy configuration of wireless networks for laptops; KPowerSave, the no-fuss way to suspend to disk and configure your CPU throttling; and all the rest of the KDE goodness found on the OpenSUSE desktop.

Suse has been shipping with KPowersave for more than a year. Is this really a new feature?
(But I just learned that Fedora Core 5 still does not include it - are they living behind the moon?)

What is the purpose of the build service and how does it work?

Just from reading the site, its for making binary packages for different distros and platforms easy.

Not sure how it will work.
