[opensuse-project] Fwd: openSUSE in Akademy-es
by Jos Poortvliet 10 May '12

10 May '12

Heya all, See below an invite for an openSUSE talk at Akademy-es! the CfP is wrong (they are fixing it) The event is from May, Friday 19 to Sunday 20th. Anyone able/willing to go? Email abenito at the KDE.org servers or talk to me! Cheers, Jos ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: openSUSE in Akademy-es Date: Wednesday 21 March 2012, 17:50:04 From: Agustin Benito (toscalix) <abenito@xxxxxxx> To: Jos Poortvliet (you know) CC: Other people Hi Jos, it would be great to have somebody from openSUSE giving a talk in [1]Akademy-es on May 20th in Saragossa. Its municipality uses openSUSE + GNOME so the person you send can also open a channel with them. It is the most advance migration project in small public administrations in spain (municipalities). On May 18th we will have some talks for wide audience. Since openSUSE does a great job with KDE, maybe talking about the news related with the destop and other services could be a good one. [2]Call for papers is open until April 23th. We expect about 80 people there.

[opensuse-project] Suse Studio Command Line Client (ssc) @ GSoC 2012
by Andrei Petre 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hello everybody, I take Cristian Mircea Messel's advice[1], and introduce myself. My name is Andrei Petre, I currently am in my second Bachelor year, studying in the field of Computer Science at Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania. I enjoy getting to know new people, and learning new things, to help improve my knowledge and myself, in general. I've read the ideas page from OpenSuse's GSoC and I searched mainly for projects containing languages that I already know, but I stopped at ssc[1], although I don't really know ruby; I recently started coding in it a bit (a very basic HTTP server in ruby[3], my very first ruby code, actually). I am familiar with python, java, c (strongest), c++ (some, not much), android (currently developing sth), so I think I could learn it, documenting myself for ~1week. Is this a problem, not being familiar with ruby? I would like to express my interest towards ssc project, as I liked the project's description and its idea. I too am a CLI kind of guy, and I use git[2], more locally than with github, though. Sorry, I am not an opensuse user (don't yell :P), I mainly use ubuntu, but I've been thinking of changing to arch / opensuse / fedora / deb. Anyway, sorry for long email and hopefully someone was patient enought to read it. Thanks!

by Akshit Khurana 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Hi, I am Akshit Khurana, third year Computer Science student at IIT Roorkee. I would like to work on the Popularity contest for RPM (popcorn) project.[0] I am a part of Information Management Group, in IIT Roorkee, which is a student body responsible for developing and managing all Internet and Intranet applications in IIT Roorkee, including the institute website and registration & placement portals.[1] One of the projects I have worked at IMG is Softwares application.[2][3] I have some experience in web development in python and django, so I would be fairly comfortable with Flask framework and SQLAlchemy. I've started reading about RPM from the links mentioned on the ideas page. I have got in touch with the project mentor Ionuț Arțăriși to know more about the project. He helped me to set up popcorn on my system to get started.

[opensuse-project] Razor-qt instead of LXDE to our 12.2 DVD
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hello friends, I see that Razor-qt is inside our Factory repository for 12.2. I also see on the razor-qt mailing list that there's a huge progress with it. Since I'm not familiar with creating the DVD, I was wondering if it's possible to change LXDE with Razor-qt or if not, then add it as extra environment to the list.

[opensuse-project] GSOC 2012 - Introducing myself and ideas I am interested in
by Stathis Agrapidis 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

Hello everybody, My name is Efstathios Agrapidis (efagra) and I am a final year undergraduate student at the University of Macedonia [1] in Greece, where I study Applied Information Technology. I am currently an openSUSE user for the last two years and linux user since almost a decade (hoping from one distro to another), but really new to the beauty of the community behind such projects (one and a half year). I have mostly contributed to the greek part of the community by mentoring in this year's GCI, partitipating in events, translating software/weekly news/wiki, making presentations and I think this would be the best oportunity for me to start contributing in the software part of the distribution. >From computer languages I currently speak (I may say fluently) c/c++ and java. I am interested in software optimisation and parallelization and have worked with CUDA, opencl, MPI, and RMI. I have also studied a little about perl and python in the past that are required by some of the ideas, so I think I can catch up easily. As far as database languages is concerned I also know SQL and have worked with sqlite and MySQL. I should notice that I have a large learning apetite so any new knowledge that can and will come by partitipating in such an event is more than welcome and desired. I am not interested only in one specific project but in many and I need guidance on how to proceed, as I have different reasons for each idea. Below I am listing all of them line by line: SUSE Studio Java Client SDK Gtk Front End to Oyranos Redesign fdisk to be more extensible and implement GPT support On-demand Symbolic Memory Concolic Symbolic Execution LTP:Fix/Implement automated kernel/glibc tests Automatic resizing of LVM volumes and filesystems I am really excited about this.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Summit website up and CfP started!
by Jos Poortvliet 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

The openSUSE community is happy to announce that starting March 29 the openSUSE Summit team will accept session proposals for the openSUSE Summit. The openSUSE Summit will take place from September 21-23, 2012 in Orlando Florida at the Caribe Royale Hotel. The proposal submission period ends on June 15, 2012 at midnight EDT. Final announcement of the program will occur on or before July 23, 2012. Starting today our website on summmit.opensuse.org is online and ready to inform you about our summit! The Summit aims to continue the tradition of fun and exciting gatherings for openSUSE in the Americas. We will deliver a bi-lingual event with some sessions offered in English and some in Spanish. In good openSUSE spirit we also want to make this event as welcoming as possible by inviting other projects to participate in the Summit. =Paper submissions= We hereby invite the openSUSE and wider Free Software community to submit session proposals for the openSUSE summit. The openSUSE Summit will have 3 tracks as outlined below. Presentations, BoF (Birds of a Feather) sessions and work shops are expected to align with the track topic. * openSUSE Community The openSUSE Community track provides information and discussion around the openSUSE community. Topics include but are not limited to Project governance and organization, ambassadorship and getting involved. * openSUSE Tech The openSUSE Tech track provides information, discussion, and hands on experience with the technology that makes openSUSE tick. Topics in this track include, but are not limited to the openSUSE development model, Packaging workshops, the Open Build Service, KIWI and more. * open World The open World track provides a platform to present your project, or listen to the interesting things our sponsors want to share. Topics in this track may cover demos and HowTos, FOSS project introductions, or other interesting topics from areas such as the "Maker movement". This is also the platform for cross-community collaboration with upstream or other Linux distributions. =Fun= The openSUSE Summit, by virtue of being an openSUSE event, has fun high on the agenda. Therefore, proposals that are "outside the box" of a "regular" software focused conference are encouraged. Collaboratively Building a Giant Paper Mache Geeko has already been proposed and rejected due to environmental concerns. =How to submit session proposals= Submit proposals for the openSUSE Summit using the registration and submission website at [1]. If you have not spoken at a previous openSUSE event, please create a new account to submit an abstract. The abstract submission should contain at least a 200 word description of the topic you plan to discuss, as well as a short (~ 50 word) description of yourself. *Please note:* All openSUSE events are governed by the openSUSE Code of Conduct [2]. The speaker guidelines [3] outline requirements for the submission of proposals and provide other valuable information for speakers.

[opensuse-project] GSoC 2012 : Beautiful 1 Click Install

Hi, I have started work on the 'Beautiful 1 Click Install' project. So far, I have gone through the 1-Click install specification. I am also looking at integration of package kit with Qt, and researching on libzypp. It would be great if I could get some direction in how to pursue it further. Regards,.

[opensuse-project] [GsoC 2012] Application / Self-introduction
by Alex-P. Natsios 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Greetings, My name is Alexandros-Panayiotis Natsios (a.k.a Alex-P. Natsios or Drakevr). Currently i am an undergrad in the Technological Educational Institute(TEI) of Larissa in Greece, studying Computer Science(cs). I speak 2 languages: Greek (native speaker) and English (C2 Level). I am a member of the local user group of our institute (LinuxTeam @ TEI of Larissa) and the Greek openSUSE community. I have been an avid supporter of the community and distro itself, both helping in various events like fosscomm (Greek, free open source software communities meeting) and occasional local events (mostly in Larissa). Furthermore i have participated in last years GCI (Google Code In 2011) as a mentor for the alternative Open Source Haiku-OS ( http://haiku-os.org ) I studied and program in C/C++ and occasionally in Perl & Ruby, I have used Qt in the past (C++) so it should be fairly easy for me to get back on track with it. I am by no means a guru in any of those languages & toolkit, i am fairly accustomed with them though. I am really interested in this idea: Beautiful one-click install I firmly believe that this project will be beneficial for both openSUSE for an easy and quick way to install packages and myself as both an entry point for improving my skills in Qt and actively contribute to the community by developing a tool that will be useful for the current community and as an easier "entrance" point for new users by creating specific package bundles or themed package lists that would be a click away to get. -- Best Regards, Alex-P.

[opensuse-project] membership discussion: statement from the membership officials
by Thomas Schmidt 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi all, this is a statement from the membership officials to the current discussion and proposal about maintaining the opensuse membership[1]. The proposal suggests to re-evaluate each members' contributions every 2 years. We think that is not doable by us, even with great tools that gather information automatically, and would give us lots of discussions with members that lose their status. We support the proposal to set a 'passive' attribute to a member that didn't vote in the board elections for 2 periods. With the possibility to get 'active' again anytime with a simple mail to us. That 'passive' attribute would be in no way taking any perks from the member beside the voting, which he can re-gain anytime. Accompanied by that we propose to add a 'none of them' option in the board elections, so that everyone can vote, even if he does not like the candidates. The goal of all of this is that the project is able to detect if an election or vote is valid, by defining that the vote needs for example a participation of more then 60% of 'active' members.

[opensuse-project] Google Summer of Code on Implementing XML formatting
by sainyam galhotra 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hello All, I am Sainyam Galhotra. Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to become a useful member of OpenSUSE community because of study and work, but now I have. I'm interested in implementing the openSUSE's GSOC 2012 Idea - Implementing accurate XML code formatting. But actually I want to implement the idea that is a little bit extended and interesting. What is the idea and some information about me follows. Age - 19 School - Indian Institute of Technology Degree - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering Majors - Computer Science Year - 2nd year( 4th semester) Experience - 2 years of programming experience in various languages like C, C++, Java, XML, SML, Prolog,etc. I have made Big Number package with fast multiply and divide , Multiplayer carrom over lan and Institute room booking system in C. It made me handy with C(imperative programming) and SVN (version controlling and collaboration) skills .I have made binary search trees , general trees , trees used for data compression , heap , traversals on trees graphs , dfs(depth first search) and bfs(breadth first search) on graphs , dijkstra , prim-jarnik and kruskal's algorithms on graphs , evrything above mentioned in JAVA with generic classes , functions and interfaces . I think the above mentioned work and knowledge makes me a perfect choice for this project . About the idea and why I want to implement it - I'm a big fun of open source code and open technologies. But I've only used them in my own projects and now when I have enough skills and opportunity to apply knowledge in open source project I have strong desire to do it. And I belive GSoC is a good start point. I am interested in implementing the accurate XML formatting. The project would mainly deal with XML, XPath, DTD, etc. I will be glad to answer your questions or discuss the idea of Implementing XML formatting Regards, Sainyam Galhotra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] GSoC 2012 - SUSE Studio Java Client SDK Application / Self-introduction
by Nikolay Garbuzov 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hello All, I am Nikolay Garbuzov. I've been using OpenSUSE for last 2 years. Unfortunately I haven't had enough time to become a useful member of OpenSUSE community because of study and work, but now I have. And I really want to make my own contribution on developing and improving my favorite OS. I'm interested in implementing the openSUSE's GSOC 2012 Idea - Suse Studio Java Client SDK. But actually I want to implement the idea that is a little bit extended and interesting. What is the idea and some information about me follows. Age - 23 School - Southern Federal University Degree - Bachelor's degree in Applied mathematics and informatics by specialisation of Information Protection. Majors - Applied mathematics and informatics Year - 2 year of graduate cource Expected year of graduation - 2012 Experience - 2 years in commercial development. Last year as Java engineer at Auriga company and as a part of LiveWire mobile team. Some of the public projects are Mediadrome Music Store and Rumpus (on Android market) Languages and related technologies - I have experience with a lot of languages including C/C++, PHP, Groovy, but prefer code on Java. Also I have good knowlege of such technologies and frameworks as GWT, Grails, JUnit, Android, Spring, Hibernate, MySQL, JavaScript and jQuery, Tomcat, JBoss, Jenkins etc. About the idea and why I want to implement it - I'm a big fun of open source code and open technologies. But I've only used them in my own projects...and now when I have enough skills and opportunity to apply knowlege in open source project I have strong desire to do it. And I belive GSoC is a good start point. So, about the client SDK... I used OpenSUSE Studio project to make my last distributive of OpenSUSE and I think it's really easy and practical approach to make what you really want. My purpose is to implement library that covers all REST API of SUSE Studio in order other developers can use it in their purposes. But it's not all. I'm going to use it and make an Android app which can be used to configure and control SUSE Studio using SUSE Studio Client SDK. I think it might be helpful for many system administrators. It won't be necessary anymore to have access to a computer and web browser to configure image and build it, they will be able to do all these things using only smartphone with Android and my app. I will be glad to answer your questions or discuss the idea of Studio Java Client SDK and Android app. Regards, Nikolay Garbuzov. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [GSOC] Make openSUSE Connect more engaging
by Thibault Miclo 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Hello, I'm a french student and I am interested by one of your project for the Google Summer of Code 2012. I have made PHP for 4 years, and I really enjoy this language and the web coding in general. Currently, i'm following my second year in an engineering school named University of Technology of Belfort-Montbéliard and based in France. I'll join the computer science department next year. Let's talk a bit about the project : Make openSUSE Connect more engaging One of the most important part in a community project is the communication between users, developpers, testers... As we can see, social networks are currently the best way to communicate, and I think a social network dedicated to the openSUSE community is a good idea. But it seems that this network is not really used. The lack of some features could be the main reason. To stay in the Google Summer of Code idea, I think the new features should be implemented as Elgg's plugins, maybe with an improvement of an existing one, or with an all new one. The benefits of this project will be for both the openSUSE community and the Elgg community. More communication will allow more people to know openSUSE, which deserved to be best known. I've already worked on long time and big projects such as browsers games, so i'm not afraid of 3 months of coding. My goal is to discover the work in an organization and with foreigners, and to help the two communities. That's could be a really good experience, and I could improve my english.

[opensuse-project] GSoC 2011: Semantic Parser
by Afriza N. Arief 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Hello, I find the semantic parser GSoC project[1] proposal to be interesting. I have been using clang_complete[2] for a couple of months now and the proposed semantic variable search will be a good addition to it. Is the expected work is an extension to the existing clang_complete? Is the scope of the project is to allow semantic variable search only? As I am new to clang or parser development, I am not aware yet of the complexity and the works related to this project. A little bit about me: I have 3 years working experience with C/C++ and I am currently studying master's degree at National University of Singapore. I have some knowledge (but not deep) on parsers, clang, and autotools. I have also contributed a tiny typo patch to clang's documentation[3], and small patches to other projects like TortoiseHg, HgSubversion, and Redmine. Thank you, Arief [1] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas#Semantic_Parser [2] https://github.com/Rip-Rip/clang_complete [3] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20120130/052673.… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Splash Screen Contest
by andi robert 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Splash Screens Contest Hello artists and enthusiasts. We have been hard at working with our artwork for 12.2 and now it is the time to style the distribution a little more. Since the most of artwork that we have now is a derivative of the official wallpaper created by Richard Brown and Marcus Moeller there is a big portion of our styling done for the distribution. However, there are a few other elements that need your creative collaboration. Splash screens for a few programs that we use can be greatly enhanced by your artistic inspiration. Libre Office GIMP Scribus Amarok Calligra Krita Blender The idea of this contest is that we can integrate the new chosen wallpaper into these splash screens for the release of 12.2. Guidelines 1. Use the default wallpaper as part of the image. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1363018/test3.jpg 2. Refer to the official artwork guidelines in how to use logos for these different applications. 3. Restrict your creation to the sizes specified. 4. Provide the sources of your work if chosen. 5. Present/submit your artwork to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Splashscreen Sizes (please use a standard resolution of 75 dpi) LibreOffice 440x480 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design GIMP 320x480 http://www.gimp.org/ Scribus 391x295 http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Promotion_material Amarok 550x412 http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/File:Amarok_logo.svg Calligra 440x286 http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Logos Krita 440x286 http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Krita_Application_Logo.svg Blender 501x282 https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender/release/datafiles/… Only work the area at the bottom.

[opensuse-project] I propose 11.4 be upgraded to the 3.0 kernel
by Greg Freemyer 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

All, I've got a few fileservers running 11.4 and hope to keep them at 11.4 via the evergreen project. Evergreen has basically decided to update to the 3.0 kernel in order to leverage the fact that it is a long term support kernel. (At least 2 years from Jan 2012). A 11.4 version of the 3.0 kernel is available now: see http://lists.rosenauer.org/pipermail/evergreen/2012-March/000692.html I propose that this kernel get tested by the opensuse community, then released as part of the normal opensuse security update process. I'm not saying to do this in the next week or two, but in the next month or two would be fantastic. I assume this would actually reduce the support load on the opensuse kernel support guys., since they are in general already supporting 3.0 for SLE 11 SP2. Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
