The mailing list for the organization and planning of the openSUSE Summit is now ready.

[opensuse-project] GSoC Compositor Colour Management Candidate
by Casian Andrei 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hello, I am a final year undergraduate student at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Automation and Computers Faculty. This GSoC idea (Compositor Colour Management) looks like something I would enjoy doing, even if at the moment I don't understand exactly what it's about. I have acceptable C / C++ skills and lots of experience with OpenGL. I am also familiar with Qt. Regarding shaders, I wrote a couple about 2 years ago for an old project, and I still know how they function, so it should be easy for me to remember. Last GSoC I worked on an OpenGL interface for VLC, and 2 years ago I worked on capture support for Phonon. I don't know much about Oyranos and colour management, but it can't be too difficult to handle, eventually. There is still time until the application period starts, so, what should I do now? The idea indicates to update a Compiz plugin for a start, but I don't have Compiz around on any of my computers, and I can't say I have too much spare time at the moment. Do you recommend me to try and work on that as soon as possible? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Evergreen release planning
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hi, within the Evergreen project http://en.opensuse.org/Evergreen we are planning to designate openSUSE 11.4 as the next Evergreen supported release. There are several reasons why 11.4 is a good candidate in our opinion and it even was my proposal in the beginning of Evergreen. Still we would like to hear your opinions and we actually are also looking for contributors to make the next Evergreen a success. The previous Evergreen releases 11.1 and 11.2 still had a "kind of experimental" flag and not many people working on it. I've created a simple poll here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dGpHRW5XVjJSbGpoakk5UU… Please only submit if you care about Evergreen as a user or contributor. Everyone interested is also invited to join the mailinglist as described in the wiki page. And yes, in case Evergreen takes off (according to your feedback) with next release the existing list will be moved to openSUSE infrastructure.

[opensuse-project] LibreOffice 3.5.0 in Factory repository
by Freek de Kruijf 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

I just updated the packages in 12.2 and I have the Factory repository of LibreOffice in that system. I noticed however that the version of LibreOffice in that repository is still 3.4.5. I would have expected at least 3.5.0, but 3.5.1.rc1 would even be better. -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-project] inducing more testing
by Felix Miata 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Too much testing is impossible, right? How about including an additional installation scheme or morphing the existing one into one that _facilitates_ installation testing? Instead of the usual root/home/swap, how about suggesting or including an additional reservation or empty partition intended to become the next root (current+1) or test root (current+.X)? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
