Novell plans to release early this year a public development framework and server build for openSUSE.
The framework will give third party ISVs and open source developers new resources and tools -- including code libraries and a public build server -- to streamline code and patch contributions to SUSE Linux, Novell said.
The framework will also enable developers to create packages and applications that run on Novell SUSE Linux or SUSE Linux-based distributions, the Waltham, Mass., company said.
Novell launched openSUSE.org last August. To date, the project has surpassed 13 million page views and 750,000 "verified" installations of SUSE Linux, the company said Wednesday.
It is similar in scope to Red Hat's open source Fedora project for developers. However, Novell claimed it is designed to be more targeted at end user adoption.
