[opensuse-project] Amazon AWS pre-configured openSUSE images?
by Greg Freemyer 19 May '13

19 May '13

All, I've been looking into AWS the last day or so. I found a huge number of preconfigured VM images to choose from: https://aws.amazon.com/amis/ But nothing with openSUSE 12.1/12.2/12.3. https://aws.amazon.com/search?searchQuery=opensuse&searchPath=amis&x=-894&y… Either I'm missing something, or that is something that could easily be maintained in susestudio and uploaded to AWS shortly after each release. Can any provide insight into why that isn't already happening?

[opensuse-project] Broken Bugzilla
by Carlos E. R. 11 May '13

11 May '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, For some unknown time time I do not receive the corresponding emails from Bugzilla when I create a report, add a comment, get a comment, get a request for "needinfo", etc. I get absolutely no emails from Bugzilla. This means that if somebody is waiting for a response from me, I will never know about it - and I have hundreds of reports in my list. I changed nothing, it simply stopped working. My email is working, it is the one above. I posted a Bugzilla about this, but I still have not got any response from the people that handle Bugzilla (not even "it is not here, please contact so and so", or whatever). <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=818001> Bug 818001 - I'm not getting emails from Bugzilla Please, can somebody from Novell/SUSE/Attachmate please find out what is hapening? - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse-project] 2 days left for oSC 2013 Travel Support Requests
by Kostas Koudaras 09 May '13

09 May '13

The openSUSE Travel Support Team opened the Travel Support Request Submission tool( https://connect.opensuse.org/travel-support/ ) for requests related to the openSUSE Conference 2013 in Thessaloniki( http://conference.opensuse.org/ ). The goal is to help everybody in and around openSUSE to be able to come to the openSUSE Conference! You don’t have to be one of the top 10 packagers to apply – if you’re translating, building a local community or helping out at the forums, we might still be able to offer you support, so apply! Only 2 days left so don't waste valiable time that can be used for packing ;D A few reminders Please, read the Travel Support wiki page(http://opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program) carefully before you apply. We want everybody to be there! Even if you think you would not qualify for travel support, just submit a request! If you don’t ask we can’t help you! The Travel Committee can reimburse up to 80% of travel and lodging costs. That includes plane ticket, train and bus tickets (no taxi), even car gas on some occasions, and hotel or hostel costs. Food and all local expenses are on you! The Travel Team won’t be able to book or pay anything in advance, reimbursement comes after the event is over, based on receipts you keep of your expenses. Again: no receipts = no money – it’s the rules! Those sponsored by the Travel Team have to write a blog or report on the event and are expected to be available for helping with tasks at the event where needed! Sponsorship decisions are influenced by the openSUSE history of the requester. Your involvement with openSUSE is really relevant! Having an abstract submitted for presentation at the conference is relevant as well. Note that the CfP is extended so there is still time! If you got support before and complied with all the requirements, this gets you bonus points too. The amount requested must be detailed according to your request, like the airport you will be departing from, sharing hotel/hostel rooms, costs associated with your trip. Try to get the best fares for tickets and lodging. Remember if approved at least 20% (and sometimes more) will be paid by you. Have Fun The TSP Team -- --- \m/ --- http://opensuse.gr http://os-el.gr http://amb.opensuse.gr http://www.kde.gr http://warlordfff.tk --- \m/ --- me I am not I --- \m/ --- Time travel is possible, you just need to know the right aliens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
