There was a long silence, but the openSUSE ARM porting effort is restarted now, and advancing at a much larger speed than last time. The fresh start was announced right after the openSUSE conference and initial work was done during the SuSE hack week, when SuSE employees are free to work on the opensource project of their choice. It is going full speed ahead ever since by enhancing the build infrastructure and fixing packages to build on ARM.

It is bootstrapped now, and many packages are already fixed and compiled. The next goal is to have a complete base system available.
