[opensuse-announce] openSUSE GNOME Team Meeting - January 15, 2009 17:00 UTC
by Bryen 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

As a reminder, this week's openSUSE-GNOME Team meeting will be held at the standard time of 17:00 UTC on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 in #opensuse-GNOME on freenode IRC network. In continuing with last week's very successful and interesting informal meeting which focused on reflections of the past and where to go forth in the future, we will discuss goals based on the subjects we discussed last week. Again, this will be a generally informal meeting not following a specific listed agenda in order to encourage the free-flow exchange of ideas as we saw last week. We will likely return to our regularly structured meetings next week. We hope and encourage everyone to come by tomrrow and offer up their comments and insight to this important meeting that will set forth our actions for the year. Regrettably, I will not be present at tomorrow's meeting, but JP Rosevear has graciously agreed to moderate tomorrow's meeting. I shall see you all next week, or just about every other hour that exists on IRC. :-) -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member GNOME-A11y Team Member -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] Novell Bugzilla Update to 3.2 and a Guided Report Mode
by Andreas Jaeger 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

To make bug reporting easier, we will be updating Novell’s Bugzilla to the latest stable release (Bugzilla 3.2) with some additional features added by Novell. This update will take place on Saturday, January 10th, and Bugzilla will be unavailable from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MST (that's 13:00 UTC to 17:00 UTC). One significant change is that we will have a new guided mode for reporting of bugs that is default for non-Novell accounts. The guided report mode is a feature of bugzilla itself that we just enable. It gives smart hints for reporting bugs including bad and good examples, makes the report more structured, suggests “hot” duplicate bugs and asks for reproducibility, expected and actual result. This should help to create better bug reports and thus help with better resolving of bugs. For those that use the unguided mode and want to use the guided mode (or the other way round), you can bookmark a template of the “New Bugreport” (see http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/07/novell-bugzilla-update-to-32-and-a-guid… report-mode/ for details) . Once you’ve done this, manually edit the URL of the bookmark and append “?format=guided” (if you want guided mode) or remove it if you do not want it. You can then use this bookmark for easy access, I have created that way a bookmark for openSUSE 11.1 bug reports that has already some stuff filled in, e.g. set “Found By” to “Community User”. Note that the guided mode will only be available after the update of bugzilla! The changes for 3.2 in the upstream bugzilla are documented at the bugzilla side. In addition, a couple of bugs and enhancements in our bugzilla have been fixed. Please see further details at http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/07/novell- bugzilla-update-to-32-and-a-guided-report-mode/ Btw. if you want to report a bug, please check also our guidelines at http://bugs.opensuse.org, 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 Project Announces csync
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

Andreas Schneider has unleashed the first public release candidate of csync 0.42[1], which is now available as source from the csync Web site[2], or via one-click for openSUSE 11.0[3] and 11.1[4]. As mobile computing becomes more and more important, file synchronization is more important than ever. Our jobs often require working not only on multiple computers, but in multiple locations, and disconnected from our networks. To help solve this problem, we need effective strategies for replication of user data and files. csync is a bidirectional file synchronizer for Linux and allows to keep two copies of files and directories in sync. It uses uses widely adopted protocols like smb or sftp so that there is no need for a server component of csync. It is a user-level program which means there is no need to be a superuser. With pam_csync it is possible to create roaming home directories. For more on using csync, see the user guide[5]. Please report bugs using the bugtracker[6]. For more information on csync, or to get involved with development, see the csync Web site and join the devel lists[7] or find help in IRC.[8] [1]: http://www.csync.org/2009/01/07/csync-0420-rc2/ [2]: http://www.csync.org/ [3]: http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/openSUSE:11.0/standard/csync.ymp [4]: http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/openSUSE:11.1/standard/csync.ymp [5]: http://www.csync.org/userguide/ [6]: https://dev.csync.org/ [7]: http://www.csync.org/communication/ [8]: irc://irc.freenode.net/csync -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager jzb(a)zonker.net http://zonker.opensuse.org/ http://blogs.zdnet.com/community/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] GNOME Team Meeting - Thursday January 08, 2009
by Bryen 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Folks, It's the new year and time for a fresh start. Let's make 2009 oh so fine! This week, in traditional fashion, we will be having our meeting at the time-shift change of 22:00 UTC. Also, this week marks the return to a weekly meeting, rather than the bi-weekly meetings we have been doing for the past few months. Agenda: No formal agenda this time. Instead, we have decided to host an informal round-table type meeting this week in which we will recap 2008 and look forward to 2009 and discuss openly and frankly (and with respect to each other!) about what we did right, what we did wrong, what we can do better, etc. For those of you with an interest in GNOME development on the openSUSE distribution who do not regularly attend meetings, we urge you to attend this one. We're looking to hear from all sides. So see you all on Thursday at 22:00 UTC in the #opensuse-gnome channel on the Freenode network. -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org
