Testing results
Last week I had some time to test 2 of the things that were on my todo test list
1) Groupwise on xen
Starting from GW 7.0.2 xen is officially a supported environment. Because it was released last week I took the time to try it out and it seems to work quite ok. So if you are interested on running Groupwise on Xen give it a try 
If you want to run eDirectory in the same virtual machine you have to make sure that you use edir 8.8 sp1.
2) Opensuse build service
A while ago Novell/SuSE made an announcement that they would release OpenSUSE build service in open source. This is a framework which can be used to build (binary) packages for different distributions out of 1 source archive. The nice thing is that you can even build deb and rpm packages at the same time.
It uses a client/server model and the building of the packages can be distributed over different machines. (e.g different machine for all architectures)
On the client side you can use a client (osc) which is written in python and uses a svn alike syntax
Very usefull beast that will save us a lot of time!
