DEV1178 Why Developers Choose openSUSE

This developer session was delivered at SUSECON in April 2019, in Nashville, TN. Abstract: In recent years the openSUSE community has significantly evolved the project’s offerings, changing from being focused on producing a single community Linux distribution, to now building an entire family of tools including openQA, Uyuni, Open Build Service, KIWI, and a trio of Linux distributions, openSUSE Leap, Tumbleweed, and Kubic. This extensive family of tools provides developers with a number of unique options for including in, or using to produce, their exciting projects. This talk will outline the openSUSE ecosystem, showcase a number of the Project’s offerings, and detail a number of reasons why Developers choose openSUSE and their tools over the others available in both the Open Source and Proprietary worlds.
