[opensuse-announce] openSUSE participates in Google Summer of Code: Looking for Mentors, Projects, Students
by Andreas Jaeger 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

I'd like to share the following news by Zonker also here: I'm happy to announce that the openSUSE Project has been accepted to Google’s Summer of Code 2008! Now the real fun begins! We’re now in the “interim period” for students to discuss application ideas with mentoring organizations. (That’d be us.) Students will then have from March 24th through March 31st to apply to Google. See our ideas page (http://en.opensuse.org/Summer_of_Code_2008) and Google’s SoC 2008 FAQ (http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html) for more info and timeline. Kudos to Google for acting quickly on this — applications for organizations were due last Wednesday, and I was notified this afternoon that we had been accepted. That’s pretty speedy, given the number of applications I’m sure they had to read through. Discussion about openSUSE's participation in Google's SoC 2008 is most appropriate on the opensuse-project mailing list, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-announce] openSUSE Packaging Days II - 4th/5th April, 2008
by Dirk Mueller 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

openSUSE Packaging Days II - April 4th/5th, 2008 Ever had problems finding a package for your favorite application for your favorite distro? Are you an application developer or project contributor, and want to learn how to provide binary packages for all the popular distros (including openSUSE) automatically? Using the openSUSE Build Service, you can provide packages for most popular Linux distros using one single service. Rather than maintaining separate systems to buildpackages, you can take advantage of the openSUSE Build Service and let it do most of the work. To learn how to leverage the build service, join the openSUSE community on April 4th and 5th on IRC to hone your package building skills. The Packaging Days II event will be heldo on Freenode at #opensuse-buildservice. Community members will be standing by to provide support and answer questions about using the build service and creating packages. Find out more about the Packaging Days II event at http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Packaging_Days See you there! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org
