There were some interesting presentations on specific topics of interest as well, including [the following are all video links]:The rest of the presentations are available here [youtube], and conference photos are here .

SUSE has been my go-to distro since 2001. I'm raising a glass to the openSUSE team and hoping for more green!

I've used openSUSE off and on over the passed decade or so v9.1-12.x. I was once a much bigger fan of theirs. I just ran into too many broken dependencies in their repos, and went elsewhere. I think the use of CentOS at work also contributed to the shift. Maybe I got tired of the bleeding edge. openSUSE isn't bad. I just think it needs some more polishing.
