by Raghu Nayyar 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi Guys, I am Raghu Nayyar, a third year undergraduate from BITS Pilani University, India. I was going through the list of ideas for Google Summer of Code 2013 by openSUSE and found interest with *Porting bento to twitter bootstrap*. I have been a regular contributor as an Interaction Designer and Developer to ownCloud[1] since quite some time now and have a proficiency in HTML, CSS, Git and JavaScript along with a sound knowledge about Interface and Interaction Design. I have forked the GitHub repository[2] for openSUSE-themes and I am ready to contribute. Please help me getting started with it and also redirect me to the right person. Thanks a lot in advance!

Yes. Thanks from me too. Please note that this is a huge amount of work if we want to do this on our own. So as long as we can work with friendly projects like openSUSE I prefer to do that.

[opensuse-project] Fwd: opensuse-community.org wiki

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jan Papež (honyczek) <honyczek-mailing(a)email.cz> Date: 2013/3/15 Subject: opensuse-community.org wiki To: opensuse-web(a)opensuse.org Hi, recently I've encountered opensuse-community.org wiki, but I don't understand, which role it has? It's content seem to be rather duplicating, eg.: https://en.opensuse.org/Restricted_formats http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats I've noticed that openSUSE Project teams use openSUSE Wiki to manage themselves. Is somebody using opensuse-community Wiki to manage himself? What's purpose of opensuse-community Wiki? Should be translated? Thanks.

[opensuse-project] Geeko Pumping Iron Session - openSUSE ARM Hackathon 08-12Apr
by Andrew Wafaa 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Now that openSUSE 12.3 is out, the openSUSE ARM Team[0] want to step up a gear. As the cycle was shorter than normal, there are a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out and also a whole heap of new things that can be added. After some discussion at FOSDEM, it was decided to hold a Hackathon to address these items. The Hackathon will take place on 08 to 12 April, both at the SUSE offices in Nuremberg as well as online for those that can't attend in person. We have a TODO list which comprises the following: * AArch64 fixes for 12.3 & Factory * Resolve outstanding 12.3 package issues * Test and release 12.3 images * Create OpenStack images for ARM * Get KVM and Xen on Chromebook & Arndale running * OBS improvements There will also be the opportunity for new device bring up for those that want to, but our intention is to work through and complete as much of the above TODO list as possible first. For those interested in joining in the fun, please either join us in Nuremberg and/or join the opensuse-arm mailing list[1], the #opensuse-arm IRC channel on Freenode[2] and also keep an eye on the openSUSE on ARM Trello board[3]. If you have any questions please let us know on the mailing list or on IRC. 0 - https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:ARM 1 - http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm 2 - irc://freenode.net/#opensuse-arm 3 - https://trello.com/board/opensuse-on-arm/5007cfc12cf0ae352e21d8dc -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Board meeting minutes 2013-03-11
by Robert Schweikert 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, Please find below the meeting minutes for the board meeting this past Monday. As always the meeting minutes are also posted on the wiki https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting#Meeting_2013-03-25 Agenda 1.) Review Action items 2.) CLT issues brought to boards attention Minutes Present: Richard, Vincent, Will, Robert, Andrew Missing: Raymond, on a business trip 1.) Review Action Items No progress on board report, Vincent will work on this today No reply yet from events team on help request concerning Hackathon organization Announcement concerning Pascal's resignation completed 2.) CLT issues An issue regarding CLT has been brought to the boards attention. It appears that a few things went awry with respect to getting people energized to give talks, man the booth and have hardware available. One of the underlying issues appears to be a communication and expectation issue. After the reorg at SUSE from the Boosters team to the openSUSE team we have not done a great job in setting expectations and communicated the new channels of communication. The board needs to address this and provide better information to the community. The board will make this one of the topics to be discussed extensively at the face to face meeting in April. Robert to communicate with the CLT participants that raised the issue about the board discussion and next action items. We definitely want community members to pick up the ball for events such as CLT and somehow there was an issue in getting everything worked out. We have to improve on the process and make things easier for community members. If you have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to respond to this thread or contact the board directly on the board mailing list.

[opensuse-project] Fwd: [Reminder] GSoC Ideas on Ideas Page and Mentors
by Saurabh Sood 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, We have about 15 days to have a solid ideas page for Google Summer of Code this year. Applications start on the 17th of March. At the moment, I put up the projects from last year's ideas page on the wiki page, but they are open to be taken by mentors. Feel free to add your name to the mentors. There is a lot of interest among students about Google Summer of Code for openSUSE, and I have got many mails from prospective students about the ideas that we have on the ideas page. I think we should spend some effort into making our participation successful. Our Ideas Page: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas Please put up your ideas / make yourself available for mentoring on the ideas that we already have on the page. -- Regards,. Saurabh Sood Have a lot of fun! -- Regards,.

by Elijah 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi all! I am new, so sorry if I don't do something right. I am trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can. My name is Elijah, aka "Ham_Radio" on the forums. I am starting up a website called "openSUSEME" Pronounced similar to "open sesame" just "openSUSEME". I just started it up and am looking for some help. I am not an openSUSE or Linux expert (Yet!). The website is going to be similar to "OMG! UBUNTU" except for openSUSE. I have already paid for the domain name, which include "opensuseme.org, .net, & .com" and a server. I am asking for help to write articles, administrate the website and all. I would like News, reviews, how-to's, etc.. and all. I can give more information to those who are interested. Thanks! -- Elijah -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
