[opensuse-project] Contributor gifts / rewards
by Christian Boltz 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hello, as promised in the project meetings, I created a list of proposals for contributor gifts. It would probably be unreadable in a mail, therefore I put it on the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Contributor_gifts Feedback and opinions welcome ;-) - I don't want to decide on this alone. Please don't delete items from the page without discussion. Adding comments or new ideas is ok. For discussion, reply to this mail. Regards, Christian Boltz -- There's such a thing as real life? Is it packages for openSUSE yet? Will there be a YaST2 module for easy configuration? Is it going to be included in 11.2 or is it so complex it's going to have to wait until 11.3? More importantly, will it be on the DVD, or would people need to use one of the online repos to download it?

09 Aug '11

Hello, This is a summary of the work that I did in the last week.(Week # 10) The test no. 256 was modified to add support for memory mapped i/o operations. Thus, now in the test the files are created using both direct i/o as well as memory mapped i/o. A new test, test no. 257 was added which handles large file creation and modification of upto 1GB. Both the tests 256 and 257 were modified to handle any snapshot supported generic file system.

We can have 2 of 3 people for every day in 12 hour or 8 hour duty, that will be depended on the people who will apply for the job. My recommendation is not to apply for more than one day as moderators. The moderators of each day need to make a common report for each day with what the day succeed. Of course nobody says that you cannot blog about it separately ;-) Please apply only if you are 100% sure that you can do that. When we will have all people for the Collaboration days we will split and work as teams for each day so that it can be properly prepared. In case that nobody has any objection on the dates we should write some articles about it on the next days and spread it around, anyone who can help on that please step up. I am in for the Ambassadors day for the 1st shift either that is 12 or 8 hours, I can also write an article on news about that. I think that should be all, please fell free to add anything so that we will make this even better than the previous Collaboration days Kostas 'Warlordfff' Koudaras -- http://opensuse.gr http://amb.opensuse.gr http://own.opensuse.gr http://warlordfff.tk me I am not me ------- Time travel is possible, you just need to know the right aliens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] Weekly report
by Sebastian Oliva 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hello, First of all, I'm sorry for the large delay on updating my previous report. I've spent most of the time improving the performance of the classes, adding multiple profiles support, and on styling the admin, profile and other pages. I have also done performance testing, having responses averaging 50ms/request response times on a testing server, with 200 concurrent requests. I expect higher performance on a deployment configuration. on the To Do List is: Creating at least an offline submitting client (either GTK or QT). Finishing the administrative pages configurations. Adding authentication on submitting profiles. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] osc code cleanup - summary of week 11
by Marcus Hüwe 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hi, here's a small summary of the 11th (coding) week. This week I spent most of my time with working on the wc code. DONE: * project wc: added commit and update methods * lots of wc code refactoring TODO: * project wc: commit only specific files for a package instead of the complete package (the package wc class already supports this) (use case: osc ci pkg1/file pkg1/foo pkg2/bar pkg3) * convert old working copies to the new format * package wc: update: add support to specify stuff like "expand", "linkrev" etc. * project wc: add a revert method (to restore a package wc with state '!') * project/package wc: support diff * package wc: implement a pull method (does the same as "osc pull") Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Entomologist UI Changes Weekly Report #11
by David Williams 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi everyone, You can find the report at [0] and below in plain text. Not much to really talk about in-depth again this week but once these features are integrated I will try going through them as much as possible. ---- Report Text ----- This week has involved trying to get the UI in place for ToDo List exporting/configuration. The work should now be finished and I’ve begun trying to implement Remember the Milk exporting which is made a bit complicated by how they accept API requests but I hope to have this finished as soon as possible. I don’t really have that much to talk about this week as nothing huge has changed but I will keep working on integrating the services. What I hope to achieve is Google Calendar, Remember The Milk and WebDAV server integration by the Soft Pencils Down Date, which I believe is the 19th of August. I think it’s perfectly achievable to get these features to a finished state by then and I’ll continue working on having them integrated. As I’ve previously mentioned I would like to use the final week as a time to merge and test everything to try and uncover any bugs I’ve missed whilst adding these features.

[opensuse-project] Collaboration Days
by Kostas Koudaras 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hi people 12.1 will be out on November and November is closer that you can imagine when it comes to the amount of work that should be done by then. So in order to reach out I propose to repeat Collaboration days. We made great amount of work there and with great quality. We had 3 collaboration days: 1 for ambassadors(Ambassador Support Review) 1 for Marketing(Marketing Materials Review) 1 for PR and Social Media (PR and Social Media Review) So in order for this to be a reality we need people to organize this. - Firstly we need people to volunteer themselves for be online on IRC for at least 12 hours as moderators for those days. In order for everybody around the Globe to attend we make the Collaboration days a 24 hour Event. I am of course in for the first 12 hour stand for ambassadors day. - We need people to organize and create the wiki pages that we will need about the collaboration days - We need all of you to participate on those days because as previous Collaboration days proved, anybody can help no matter how experienced. Last but not least, it is important to do that before the Marketing Hackfest that is planned for 15th and 16th of September, so that we could use the Collaboration days achievements there and plan a better marketing campaign. For those that are not familiar with this see the links bellow. http://news.opensuse.org/2010/12/02/marketing-collaboration-days/ http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors_Collaboration_Days http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors_Collaboration_Days/what_was_pla… http://news.opensuse.org/2010/12/10/opensuse-collaboration-thrives/ Let me know what you are thinking about all this.
