"DuBois, Scott L."
Is It still too soon for me to promote this around in my university forums? If not, then besides the GSoC link what other links should I provide to point students to openSUSE?
It is not too soon. Problem is, as usually, that openSUSE has no ideas what to give as projects :) http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_2013_Ideas is still empty. Looking at article history you can see there was no many for 2012. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=openSUSE:GSOC_ideas&action=history ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Reading the same to give some ideas that may need some work: Connect openSUSE - karma plugin - there is some work done, but I can't find that plugin anywhere on the Connect, or anywhere else. Some ideas were transferred from openFATE http://features.opensuse.org which can be idea generator this year too. Beautiful 1-click instal was last year topic, but I don't see it implemented anywhere. Popularity contest - sorting packages by popularity. I think someone worked on it, but again no dice if you want to see what software is popular. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- One idea from previous years would be bugreporter. Utility bugreporter should talk directly to bugzilla, but it is command line tool. I learned by accident that it exists. So far I recall my experience, usability is worse then with actual bugzilla in a browser. Not that is not clear once you read options and know some command line conventions, but more people know browser then command line conventions. Attempt to refresh memory ended in a bugreporter crash :) In other words some improvement would be helpful to users and developers, for instance fixing code and using full screen text mode - ncurses, like yast, Midnight Commander etc, or even GUI. http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2011/mihneadb/... https://github.com/mihneadb/suse_bug_reporter/ While tool can be helpful, it is obvious that task is too much for single developer. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
