[opensuse-project] GSoC 2012 Redesign fdisk to be more extensible and implement GPT support
by jiayi 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi all, I'm a second year's master at Beijing University of Post and Telecommunication, majored in EE and looking forward to contribute "Redesign fdisk to be more extensible and implement GPT support" at this year's GSoC. I have used openSUSE from 10.1 till the latest version for almost 6 years. It's really fantasy for me. You may have noticed that my email address is jiayisuse :) Redesigning fdisk and Adding GPT support is attractive for me. It's a little upset once I got the GPT Warning message with typing fdisk on my MBP. I have read parts of fdisk source code, it's really a bit disordered. So I think this work is quite significant and I want to contribute for it. I'm skilled with C/C++/bash/awk, experienced in both Linux Application and Linux kernel module development (Internship at Intel China R&D, develop meego driver). Last 3 days I read the GPT reference, libparted source code and Mac's gpt source code. Then I set up my git repository and did a experiment to modify fdisk to list all my GPT partitions' info, it works now :) openSUSE's webpage indicates me here. So Could you recommend me to do this project under Petr Uzel's guide? Many thanks~ Best Regards Hongyi -- 俺的博客：http://www.jiayii.com 俺的QQ：522825694 Gtalk：就是这个啦 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Gsoc 2012, Introducing myself
by Commix On 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hello everybody, My name Christos Loukas (aka commixon in irc and mailing lists). I am a final year student, in the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics in the University of Patras/Greece. Furthermore, apart from my studies , i am working as a sysadmin in an organization in Athens/Greece (the last 6 months). Finally, I speak fluently 3 languages (Greek - native, English - C2, German - C2). Furthermore i am a member of the openSUSE Greek community. Actually i took part in FOSDEM conference with openSUSE Project, and also i will make some presentations in Greek FOSS events (FOSSCOMM) about openSUSE and openSUSE related stuff (owncloud, openQA, QEMU). I started using openSUSE 8 months ago. During the past years i was using gentoo, Arch and FreeBSD. Regarding programming skills, well, i am using mostly C/C++ for most university projects, mostly for network programming projects (sockets, forking, semaphores etc). But i prefer using python (in the last 3 years), mostly for wriiting scripts for my work (hash tables, information gathering from apache log files etc). Currently i am trying to have a better grasp of the Django framework and Django related APIs and modules. In the last 6 months i have been interested in packaging, mostly using OBS and e-builds in gentoo. Regarding the Gsoc ideas, i am particularly interested in Cross-Distribution ideas, more specific for "Appstream" and "Upstream/downstream tracker" (both ideas of Vincent Untz) and for the "popcorn" idea of Inout Artarisi. Those are some few things about me, just to introduce myself. I really hope i can participate in any of those Gsoc projects, i am really looking forward for the participating forms to become available. -- May the Source be with you!

Hi Jan, bellow is previous talk with jdd about this topic. Please feel free to comment my mind :-) ---------- 已转发邮件 ---------- 发件人： jiayi <jiayisuse(a)gmail.com> 日期： 2012年3月15日下午8:59 主题： Re: [opensuse-project] GSoC 2012 Redesign fdisk to be more extensible and implement GPT support 收件人： jdd <jdd(a)dodin.org> Hi jdd, thanks for your kind comments. Yes, I worked with util-linux. I know there are several fdisks which support GPT beside GNU fdisk. GNU fdisk is implemented with libparted support. But as a basic package I don't think util-linux should depend on libparted. At personal side, I think GPT suppoted util-linux has more value than other GPT fdisk. Because it's deliverded by all Linux distributions and most widely used. when I just want to format a partition but util-linux fdisk failed with GPT, I just turn to Mac's disk utility and don't want to compile and install another version of fdisk even directly use parted. Because the failure of util-linux fdisk makes me unconfident of linux disk utilities. I think util-linux has the symbolic meaning. Parted could deal with GPT, why util-linux not. This project aims at not only adding GPT support, but also cleaning up util-linux fdisk code to make it more extensible. So I think it's a meaningful project. I have read your wiki pages. It's really great work! I think I can learn more from it~ Thank you. 2012/3/15 jdd <jdd(a)dodin.org>: >> On Thursday 15 Mar 2012 11:41:30 jiayi wrote: > > >>> Redesigning fdisk and Adding GPT support is attractive for me.

[opensuse-project] Drop the openSUSE project meetings on IRC?
by Pascal Bleser 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

I'd like to propose or at least discuss dropping the bi-weekly openSUSE project meetings on IRC. Reasons are: * because of timezones, work/family/etc, only a handful of people is able to attend the meetings (and there is no solution to that); * as far as I've been attending those meetings (so that's a few years now already), there have always been 5 or 6 people who have participated (aside from the board team); * there is nothing that is discussed there that couldn't be discussed on the opensuse-project mailing list instead. Now, that meeting also acts as a board meeting, but * the board can still meet, that's up to the board team to define; * anyone can poke the board team any time via email or poke us individually on IRC; * as far as transparency is concerned, we can, should and will publish emails about our decisions and our work anyway. Any reason to keep the IRC project meetings? I don't see any, even though I'm quite fond of IRC ;) cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf
