OpenSuSE project, a worldwide project dedicated to creating a distribution of the Linux community, has achieved a milestone in efforts to simplify contributions to the distribution OpenSuSE with the launch of OpenSuSE Build Service 1.0.

This is the first major update and allows developers to directly access repositories of OpenSuSE Linux distribution code, thus speeding up the process of making contributions to the code.

Since its inception, OpenSuSE Build Service has offered a unique system of collaboration for groups working with preconfigured Linux solutions.

This makes it possible to climb and launch larger projects and expand the scope of OpenSuSE Build Service to create a complete version of OpenSuSE.

“I’m very pleased with the launch of OpenSuSE Build Service 1.0, as will the development of OpenSuSE much more transparent, allowing the community to contribute more efficient and rapid distribution, as well as expand the number of users involved in our project, “said Adrian Schröter, project manager of OpenSuSE Build Service.

By allowing direct contributions by developers, build service adds transparency to the process of development and helps improve the ability of the community to help OpenSuSE. This is the only solution of its kind that allows developers to create and maintain multiple packages for Linux distributions, including OpenSuSE, Novell’s Suse Linux Enterprise, Center, Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, Red Hat and Ubuntu. In addition, OpenSuSE Build Service facilitates the development of projects aimed at creating packages for new updates from various Linux distributions, as well as for new versions of old Linux distributions.

Secure Computing Researchers have discovered a new Trojan that this infecting normal multimedia files such as MP3 and WMA audio files and WMV video files.

If you come to be infected, all media files in the user’s PC will be like and what those same files can be sent to other users doing a spread of malware, if they are shared by email or P2P sites.

The initial infection occurs from illegal sites. When a user goes to that site and illegally looking for a crack or a serial key to be able to run a copy protected software, the user will download the Trojan.

When the user shares the file via email or on a P2P site, these media files infected will be transmitted to someone else. When you open the file, Windows Media Player is redirected to a malicious action on the Web to download a fake code, which guides the new victim to install Adware, Spyware or other malware.

Knol is an abbreviation of Knowledge, which is precisely the idea of the new service, that people with great knowledge on a specific topic share information with others.

“The Internet is huge, but there are multiple sources that are not yet available. Knol allows people to share their knowledge and receive recognition for their contributions. In the same way that the name of a writer is provided on the cover of a book, the author’s name from a Knol also appears on the page, together with possible links to other articles by him. In a Knol, the author can incorporate references include links to related information and interact with readers. Readers, meanwhile, can comment, assigning grades and publish criticism, “writes Juergen Galler, director of product Google search.

Although Knol is an initiative of Google, it is difficult not to conjure Wikipedia.

However, one of the differences between Wikipedia and Knol is that the authors of articles published in Knol can determine on their own terms content others can modify or add. The article in question can also be blocked, making it impossible to edit it.

Google also offers to share advertising revenue with the author of the article. Similarly, the author can decide under what type of license article will be published.

Initially, Google will be difficult to achieve the volume of material published by Wikipedia, whose English edition reaches 2.5 million articles.
