[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 25 Mar '12

25 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.

[opensuse-project] Final reminder: GSoC ideas & mentors
by Matt Barringer 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi, I'm sure you're all quite sick of hearing about Google Summer of Code by now, so I promise this will be the last administrative announcement until the students/projects are chosen :-) In 3 days, students will be able to begin applying. If you have any ideas that you haven't added, add them to the ideas list by the end of the weekend! And if you've already added yourself as a mentor to the ideas list, make sure to create a profile with Google Melange[1] and request to be added to the mentor team[2]. Thanks, Matt [1] - http://www.google-melange.com [2] - http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/opensuse -- Matt Barringer, Software Engineer SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, DE GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)

[opensuse-project] "Upstream Xen Support for Libvirt" [GSOC 2012]
by Sanidhya Kashyap 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Hello everyone, My name is Sanidhya Kashyap, a fourth year dual degree student, studying at IIIT Hyderabad, India. I am working in the area of virtualization, and infrastructure management. My research work focuses on live migration of VMs (post vs pre copy live migration). This time, a project named "Upstream Xen Support for Libvirt" on xen and libvirt api has been proposed and it sounds interesting to me. The main focus of mine is to contribute to the open source community, what I have learned so far and this is a good option for me to start with. This way, I am going to learn a lot about the libvirt functionality as well the new Xen tool - Xenlight(XL), because I am already familiar with the virtualization technologies, but it will give me an in-depth knowledge. I have already talked with the mentor Bamvor Jian Zhang and I getting familiar with new Xen 4.1 and libvirt docs which my mentor asked me to look at. Thanks for the patience, Sanidhya Kashyap (irc nick: halohell) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Popularity Contest for RPM(Popcorn) for GSoC 2012
by Gaurav Sood 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Hi all, My name is Gaurav Sood, and I am a Third Year computer Science Engineering student at Symbiosis Institute of Technology, Pune, India. I was introduced to openSUSE around a year ago and have been a user since. It has been my dream of contributing towards openSUSE since some time, and have been aiming to contribute via Summer of Code. I took up minor projects, basically for learning and to enhance knowledge of various technologies. I am familiar with PHP, C, C++, Java and Python, as well as knowledge of databases using PostgreSQL and MySQL. For the past 6 months or so, I have been preferring Python as the preferred language for development, due to its simplicity and ease of development. I have also tried my hand at development for GNOME3, using Python. I have read the ideas for GSoC 12' under openSUSE. I was browsing for ideas relating to GNOME or Python, until I stumbled upon Popcorn. It interested me mainly because it was coded in Python and that it involved lots of learning in the process of development. Since then, I have been in constant touch with the mentor, Ionuț Arțăriși, who has been of help in my understanding of the project. I have also written some exercise classes, for better understanding of the project. Thanks all for your patient reading.
