Please reply directly to the mailing list so that others can offer information as well. I do not think we send out DVD copies, but someone else here might know better. I do know that sometimes the community goes to conferences and events and hand out copies of DVDs that they have created themselves. Perhaps someone here can mention when there is an event coming to your area soon. -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Weekly News
by Francis Giannaros 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, I didn't think we could avoid having something like a weekly newsletter for much longer, so I've put together some stuff for the first one over at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE_Weekly_News/1 I'm hoping to publish it this Wednesday with a news.o.o post. How you can help! = Feedback. = I'd really appreciate any feedback on the newsletter. What you think will work/won't work. Suggestions, etc. = Help contributing to sections = * "Tips and Tricks" could be a nice section, but I can't think of anything to have in it for this week. * In the Press. Seen any decent stories about openSUSE in the press lately? Please add them th ere. * Forum news. I'd really like to get updates on the communities in the fora, so if you think you can help with this please let me know! * Help writing the next one :-) Note that the point of the weekly newsletter is to not undermine or lessen the amount of stories that we get on news.o.o. I think the amount we get there is great. The point is to cover all the extra details and have a single weekly digest for all extra things in-and-around openSUSE.

[opensuse-project] Status Action Items
by Christian Boltz 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hello, here's the status of Action Items after this week's meeting. New Action Items: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #343444 - bugzilla wizard to qualify bugreports There are several not-so-good bugreports (something like "my computer doesn't work" - OK, this is exaggerated ;-) and the developers have to "waste" their time with asking for details and logs. The idea is to create a wizard (like kde.org does) for people new to bugreporting that guides them through the process, searches for duplicates, maybe it could even force to attach y2logs when reporting YaST bugs etc. Klaas got the AI to check if and how this is possible. Note that this wizard would be an alternative to the current bug reporting page, not a replacement. Work in progress: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #173 961 - openSUSE merchandising rlihm and coolo set up a shop @spreadshirt and are in the process of getting approval on the design by Novell's corporate marketing (ETA 2007-12-10) Coolo ordered the first test shirts. For those who want to see the beta ;-) shop: http://openshop.spreadshirt.net/en/DE/Shop (URL might change) #223290 - better wishlist handling using FATE klaas finally did a short presentation on fate in the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Proposals/openFate For comparison: the wiki way from Francis http://en.opensuse.org/Feature_Plan AI Coolo to start a discussion about what to use. #328611 - Try out wishlist handling / feature tracking in the wiki Basically a duplicate of #223290 (better wishlist handling). Some feedback from the GNOME team how it worked out would be interesting. See also http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/FeaturePlanning for pros and cons of different methods. #238350 - unmaintained wikis (is, es, vi) Only vi is in bad shape and there is a banner on the frontpage. is and es are maintained again. #238355 - status of cn wiki Notlocalhorst is working on it, should be ready next week #267437 - community comitee, @opensuse.org mail addresses etc. As you (should) know, the community comitee (aka board) was announced. Therefore the summary of this AI changed to #267437 - @opensuse.org mail addresses Mail addresses are still not available #339796 - graphical headline on help.opensuse.org rlihm is working on it (english is done, other languages will follow the next days) AIs without news: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #229213 - clarify bugzilla usage for packages in build service (ETA: November) AdrianS didn't attend the meeting. #164761 - built service trust/rating system Blocked (no time and resources ETA 2008) #293726 - Creation of Babel wiki Blocked (No time) Things that were done: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # - add something about sustainability to the translation howto While discussing about unmaintained wikis and how to avoid it, it was proposed to add a note that wiki translation is not a one-time job etc. to the translation howto. Martin did this instantly, therefore no bugzilla :-) #328613 - Prepare explanation of Fate features and processses in the wiki Klaas finally did a short presentation on fate in the wiki http://en.opensuse.org/Proposals/openFate - thanks! #328622 - help.opensuse.org translations help.opensuse.org is now translated into lots of languages. Thanks to everybody who helped with this! (If your language is missing, feel free to reopen the AI and attach it. Or contact AdrianS for a SVN account ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Lass es mich so sagen: GUIs? Wir haben keine. Davon aber zwei.

[opensuse-project] KDE-LIVE-CD, very bad impressions
by Daniele 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

HI guys, after first look I'm very disappointed about live-cd but before start to reporting bug and features request I'd like to hear your opinions. 1) sound doens't work. On live cd it simple should work. No luck with yast or alsaconf. In Yast I can hear test sound but under Kde no mixer, no device, no sound. This on well supported hardware.. 2) partitions on hd should be showed somewhere (sysinfo, /media). For newbye, finding/mounting partitions it's no so easy.. 3) one of my pc is a IBN NetVista that runs 10.3 fine but with live-cd, video card/monitor are non well configured and system hangs for some ATA errors.. 4) I'm wrong or software on live-cd is in the same version of GM ? If so, I don't uderstand why. Releasing live-cd one month after GM without bugfix it's a crazy thing :) Live-cd it's becoming the most used media but opensuse live cd give a very bad impression to all project... I'll do more/better test in next days and I'll report all bugs.. Daniele. P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I hope it's understandable... -- *** Linux user # 198661 ---_ ICQ 33500725 *** *** Home http://www.kailed.net *** *** Powered by openSUSE *** --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] FOSDEM 2008
by Martin Lasarsch 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi We started last week the FOSDEM planing, so far we have some ideas about the talks and i try to get some money (i will keep you posted ...). We thought about topics which reflect successfull projects in openSUSE or areas where a lot of work going on right now. We just thought what would be interesting for the community. Everybody agreed that it would be nice to have more community talks, from the community, to the community ... here are some ideas: - Education - compiz fusion - openSUSE community (presentation of a local user group community member) - 1-Click - packman - the "other" site ... :-) (not limited to one site ...) - openSUSE board - KDE4 (maybe a combined talk with KDE members) - GNOME (for example accessibility) - php - openSUSE 11.0 - ATI driver - LTSP - product creator/KIWI - Laptop tracks This is not a schedule, nor is it fixed. Please add something if you have other ideas. We had this year 17 talks, should be in the same range ... If someone is interested to make a talk, this is the right thread for it. Booth: I guess it was quite good this year imho, i hope i can get again the large counters from Novell. Feel free to comment ... -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Application blacklist
by Josef Assad 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was wondering how this list was determined: http://en.opensuse.org/Application_Black_List Would it make sense to have some form of community process whereby applications are transparently evaluated? I understand that in all likelihood it is a SUSE/Novell consideration, which in itself is a good reason. But openSUSE is a global community, so it would probably help to be more clear about this. To take an example, as the page currently stands I'm guessing it reflects the various legal constraints in Germany and the US. Since that isn't called out, one could assume it meant software which is illegal anywhere. In Egypt, there's legislation on the books which imposes a blanket encryption ban (never mind whether it's applied or not), and that could certainly have changed the length of the Application Blacklist somewhat. :) JA - -- http://www.DonAssad.com jabber ID: josef.assad(a)gmail.com Please consider the environment; do you really need to print out this e-mail? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHSn7gFcf72sjD2+QRApy2AJ9D+ls6Usl9kD9a9nVWZhZlMdu+cQCfaurM hmO0zeJG1QvwrNQvuplOFKo= =i0OS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
