Project Description
Let's revisit our existing openSUSE welcome app.
My goal was to show Leap 16 in a new coat. Welcome app adds to the first time use experience. We've recently added donation button to our existing welcome.
Some things that I recently wanted to address were EOL and possibly upgrade notification.
I've already done some experiments with mint welcome app, but not sure if it's better than the existing one.
There is also a PR to rework existing app https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-welcome/pull/36 (this should be considered as an option too)
Goal for this Hackweek
New welcome app, possibly with EOL notification for Leap.
1) Welcome application(s) with (rebrand changes) maintained under github.com/openSUSE
2) Application is submitted to openSUSE:Factory && openSUSE:Leap:16.0
3) Updated needles in openQA (probably post hackweek)

Let's meet at 10:00am on Monday at meet.opensuse.org/welcome and discuss who wants to do what. There seems to be multiple people interested in the effort. Thank you folks!

EOL notification or a new relese notification is not necessarily in scope of this project. This could be a plugin to gnome-software, kdiscover or a standalone yast software tool https://hackweek.opensuse.org/24/projects/yqpkg-bringing-the-single-package-selection-back-to-life

After some testing and investigation about the current workflow for the welcome app:
- x11_enhanced pattern recommends opensuse-welcome app.
- We can add a
Recommends: gnome-tour
to the gnome pattern - The application run using xdg autostart, so gnome-tour package should put the file in /etc/xdg/autostart and set to hidden on close.
- In the case of having a system with multiple desktops, we can choose the specific welcome app using the
OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn
config in desktop file
So I've created a draft PR to do not show the openSUSE-welcome app in GNOME, and I've also the gnome-tour fork in my home OBS project.
I've been testing this configuration in Tumbleweed with GNOME, KDE and XFCE installed and it works as expected. The openSUSE-welcome is shown in KDE and XFCE and the gnome-tour app is only shown in GNOME.
