Borderline because it was originally considered to be on the 'border' of psychosis due to the presence of some pathological traits. There's some debate about the term, but it remains unchanged in DSM-V (the updated psychology diagnosis manual). The word 'borderline' by itself doesn't really imply the condition. It means on the edge between two things /border/outline/fringes and can be used in many contexts. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/borderline The 'of questionable nature or quality' definition is probably more of a concern than the psychological reference. Just so long as people don't read the name and think of the Madonna song... :) cheers Helen -- IRC: helen_au helen.south(a)opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Bugzilla requirements gathering exercise
by Will Stephenson 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

Following the recent thread [1] on opensuse-project about obstacles to the community's use of our shared bugzilla instance, SUSE has started an internal assessment of how we can improve things for community users, contributors, employees and enterprise customers - in defiance of the "we can't touch that part of the infrastructure" meme. To this end, I'd like to gather here information about your requirements. Some things I've pulled out of "Bugzilla account creation" and other places are: * Easy sign up ** Minimal user information required * Familiar branding * Working integrated login with other project web apps * Community visibility of bugs in openSUSE reported against SLE * Performance * Relating bugs to packages and maintainers * Package<->Bug relation * OBS<->Bugzillazilla relation * Tooling (eg Entomologist, integrated bug reporters like Dr Konqi) If you have any comments on these or on other topics, please add them here. I'm trying not to touch the Pandora's boxes of bug lifetimes, engineering responsiveness and mass-closing, but perhaps if we can make our Bugzilla more community friendly, it will attract more help to solve these.

[opensuse-project] Summit and Conference // social media
by Nelson Marques 08 Sep '12

08 Sep '12

Any particular reason for having entries on Facebook dedicated exclusively for Summit and the European Conference appears nearly nowhere? Isn't this pure raw discrimination towards the people on the other side of sea ? You know SUSE started in Europe right ?

[opensuse-project] http://software.opensuse.org/122/en wording change proposal
by DenverD 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

reference the web page to download the distro--which contains a section heading reading "Verify your download (optional, for experts)" the wording has been this way for a LONG time, but in my opinion it should be reconsidered for change to: "Verify your download before use" after all, the 'experts' already know verification is important and only optional if one doesn't care how much time is wasted trying to install a garbage iso! there is a current forum thread <http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=477953> which reminded me this really ought to be looked at again...and, a close look in the forums find numerous threads where the _only_ install problem the new user needed to solve was simply getting a good iso, and burn.. GIGO is still important!! thanks for your consideration of this small, easy (but important) wording change.. -- dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE GeoCaching
by Nelson Marques 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Hi all, I would like to conduct a small experience in Portugal regarding openSUSE and geo-caching. For those who don't know what geo-caching is, feel free to take a look at [1]. This is mainly a 'treasure seeking' game for caches which requires pretty much the following: 1) Internet Connection; 2) GPS device (Android phones are cool) 3) GeoCaching client: I personally use C:GEO for Android. My interest was to plant a major cache in a point of interest called 'openSUSE Portugal CACHE'; the contents of this cache are meant to be: a) a pen for geo-cachers to sign the cache-log; b) the cache-log, which is pretty much a piece of paper where people sign their visits; c) some stickers (this requires maintenance, at least weekly as we should leave a few ones and not a large stock); d) maybe some openSUSE media; The cache logs are tracked online (they are public), so everyoen can actually follow it. The results I want to measure are simple, but I would like not to disclose them at the current time; Since we're running a new release, this would be an interesting point. What I need is a large batch of stickers and maybe some media to run this for a few months. I believe this can also be extended to Ambassadors on other countries. Cheap Guerrilla Marketing ;) Where can I have some stickers and media for my experiment?

[opensuse-project] openSUSE page on freecode.com
by Jim Henderson 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Anyone know who owns it? http://freecode.com/projects/suselinux (though the project URL is 'suselinux', it is the openSUSE page) Last update was the 12.1 release. If it's not owned by anyone (which looks like it might be the case as the owner is listed as "not- available"), maybe the project needs to take ownership of it.
