That said, I will be present at the OSC and marketting hackfest. I don't like to stay looking with hands in pockets, so count me for any usefull work I may do. As a teacher, I know a bit of managing meetings. sincerely jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.youtube.com/user/jdddodinorg http://jdd.blip.tv/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Kernel Configuration
by kunal ghosh 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi all, I am a long time opensuse user and have been using Tumbleweed for quite some time and liking it. I frequently run powertop to enable configurations to conserve the battery life of my laptop. I always get this suggestion from powertop: " Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_INOTIFY kernel configuration option. This option allows programs to wait for changes in files and directories instead of having to poll for these changes " Would it be possible to have the repo kernel package built with the above configuration enabled ? I know that I can do it locally and run the custom kernel. But this change made to the repo kernel packages might have a good impact for all opensuse users. -- regards, Kunal Ghosh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

Wait a second. "...and the establishment of an openSUSE Foundation". Doing a gooogly-woogly search produces this: QUOTE The openSUSE Foundation is the legal body of the openSUSE Project. UNQUOTE The meaning of the above is that this Foundation is *ALREADY* in place and does not require any "establishment". Is the statement found in googly-woogly then false and misleading? And in any case, what does an "ARM port" have anything to do with anything? I ask in ignorance and would appreciate a sensible answer to understand the response by Per to the statement by Jos.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Entomologist UI Changes - Weekly Report #12
by David John Williams 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Hi everyone, My report for this week can be found at [0] and is included below :). It feels strange that there are only 2 weeks remaining of GSoC, Summer doesn't feel like it happened much in the UK. ----- Report Text ------- This week I've been working at getting Remember the Milk integration finished. Right now Lists can be added to Remember the Milk and I'm in the middle of implementing update/delete functionality. It has been a hard week as I've never had to use a web based API before and the Remember the Milk one doesn't seem like the easiest to get to grips with (its beta form is probably indicative of this). The main time consumer now is getting the update/delete functionality which isn't an issue with Remember The Milks API but one of trying to find the right solution that is generic enough to be used with other services so I avoid large chunks of code that are specific to a single service. For the final week I will continue working on integrating Remember the Milk,Google Calendar and WebDAV and over the remaining 10 days I will try and get these services fully integrated. The final week of GSoC will hopefully be spent on preparing a 1.0 release and any code addition will be kept to a minimum (with a hope that there won't be any outside of merging).
