Following up the discussions on what scheme to use for the openSUSE version, I've created a survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZYC5PYZ This is the first iteration.

[opensuse-project] Nobody answers at permission@novell.com
by Gabor Kum 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hi, We have a Linux shop in Hungary, and I asked permission from Novell to make embroidered openSUSE t-shirts, but they haven't answered. My first e-mail I sent in July 2008, the last on 22.02.2011, but nobody answered. What is you opinion, what should I do?

by Jos Poortvliet 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Hi all, Those of you who have not yet done so - think about sending in a talk proposal for the Desktop Summit! If you work on KDE or GNOME but also on XFCE or LXDE integration in openSUSE - sounds like a great subject! There will be a cross-distro collab room (I'll make sure of that :D) and openSUSE should be prominent there... !!! Deadline is soon: Friday 25th of March! https://desktopsummit.org/cfp Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-project] Final draft for adapting the trademark guidelines
by Cornelius Schumacher 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Attached is an updated version of the proposal for adapting the openSUSE trademark guidelines and the diff to version which currently is valid. It incorporates the input from the thread about the previous version. The only change compared to the previous version is in the wording of the section about using the trademarks in publications. As the feedback has been positive and there was general agreement that this is how we want to move forward I would consider it the final draft. The next steps will be to create the "based on openSUSE" branding and get approval from Novell as owner of the trademark for the changes in the guidelines. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum(a)suse.de>

[opensuse-project] Crazy idea - use bugzilla metrics to gauge quality?
by Per Jessen 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

On opensuse-factory, Marco Calistri wrote: > P.S. Too many bug reports, perhaps should be better awaiting a bit > more for a GM release. Let me throw in a crazy idea - could we use bugzilla metrics to gauge the quality of an upcoming release? Could we perhaps even use them to delay if the numbers don't meet our requirements? Some possible metrics: # of bugs in status [x,y,z] in subsystem [a,b,c]. # of bugs with priority or severity [x] Comments? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] SUSE Studio 'official' images.
by James Mason 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

With a few slight adjustments after the fact, I've been able to import the GNOME Live & KDE Live kiwi configs into SUSE Studio. With the project's permission, I'd like to release my builds of the various virtual machine formats on SUSE Gallery as 'official' openSUSE images. -- James Mason, 'bear454' SUSE Studio Developer, Novell openSUSE Ambassador -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] The bug list
by Per Jessen 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

I've been subscribed to the buglist for at least a year or longer, hmm, so long I don't reemember how to subscribe). Anyway, I get fresh updates on every bug (except the top-secret ones, I presume). Most of them I ignore, simply based on subject - either it doesn't interest me or I sense that I would have no genuine contribution to make. I don't exactly check it every day, but I do a scan every other day to see if if anything interesting has turned up. I'm not sure what the bug-report-processing procedure is, but I've sort of just jumped in. How about you? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Contributors', developers' HOWTO ?
by Per Jessen 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

I have a patch for nasm which I'd like to get into openSUSEs version of nasm - it's really annoying when I forget I have a local version of nasm, and accidentally build on a target system with the vanilla nasm. I know I can easily open a bug report and probably get this patch in that way, but I was thinking that I might as well skip all of that and just "do it". I probably haven't looked in the right places, but I couldn't find a HOWTO that explains to me how to get from e.g. my local patch to a published openSUSE update. Is there such a HOWTO out there? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Bugzilla - OS list doesn't include 11.4
by Jim Henderson 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Just had a report on a bug filed that the OS list selection doesn't include 11.4. The reporter put in "SUSE Other". I note that other openSUSE releases are listed in the OS selection, but 11.4 is missing. Could we get that added and update bug 678991 to reflect the correct OS?
