Theme feedback
by Michal Hrusecky 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi, as I reported that I was working on adopting Roberts theme to Media Wiki theme, I posted screenshot of the current status on my blog [1]. I received some feedback (not only on my blog but on IRC as well). Generally they say that theme is nice, but that it isn't green and it contains only one little Geeko and that it doesn't look so much openSUSE at first sight. I'm just forwarding feedback so others will know and we can discuss.

UDS Report
by Vincent Untz 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hey hey, Here are some notes. It's far from being complete since a lot happened, but it should hopefully cover the important topics. [general] - the format of UDS is really a good one: lots of 1-hour sessions that focus on creating a plan to solve a specific issue, so that people can simply implement the plan in the next 6 months, instead of having to discuss the plan for a long time on mailing list (real time communication is always faster) - good focus on the desktop (I guess that's because I mostly attended desktop sessions). The format helped again here, I guess, since it was easy to know what was going on in this area. - since they're doing this every 6 months, it's very well-organized and things go smoothly - I still wish they'd invest more upstream (it has improved with time, though) [upstream] - had some really good discussion with other upstream people and with the Ubuntu desktop team, on many many many topics - got some feedback about various issues Ubuntu sees with recent upstream versions, that are either moving too fast, or have some visible regressions for some groups of users. - that's not really a new debate, and it's something that is already being worked on - looks like there's some communication failure at multiple levels, though :/ - discussed how to better maintain some modules that are sometimes slow to move - we discussed login performance again, and identified a few areas where things could get fixed (some other areas are Debian/Ubuntu-specific) - put my GNOME Foundation hat a bit to discuss some topics with Canonical (which is an advisory board member) [ubuntu] - in general, some good discussion about various topics. I won't enter into details there, it's all on the wiki or in the gobby documents. Some examples include: - default settings for compiz - how to provide a smooth upgrade experience - which apps & games to ship by default - next version is a LTS, so they try to avoid some changes that might cause unstability - they will most likely ship GNOME 2.30 (including new glib and gtk+), but they'll keep some 2.28 versions for various modules that are known to be potentially unstable - they're working with some company to have a real big music store by default in rhythmbox (and amarok). This would be tied to Ubuntu One, though, so not re-usable without such an account :/ - some discussion about integrating geoclue by default in the desktop, but some preliminary tests lead to think it was better to wait. They'll likely add the geoclue dependency to empathy, though (we have this in openSUSE). Geoclue is a dbus service that provides geolocation API. - GIMP won't be installed by default. A move that makes sense for most users, I think. They might ship Pitivi (video editor) by default. - they have some long-term plans for their Software Center. Eg, a section to show some really good apps (GIMP, Inkscape, etc.) in the not-too-long term, and some ratings by users in the longer term. - they're working on a gdmsetup application. They might even propose it for inclusion upstream (gdmsetup is the application to configure gdm, and it was removed upstream when gdm got a rewrite) [misc] - chatted quite a bit with one MariaDB person. They want to make sure it's available so that people can at least choose, and can survive whatever happens with MySQL in the future. - talked to Michal already, and he'll probably take a look - also, darix pointed out that they could make use of the build service to provide packages for most distros. I'm chatting with them about this. - was able to see the KDE netbook interface, although I didn't play with it. - Robert Ancell is working on a simple scan interface. Finally something to replace xsane? - there was some real presence from ARM, Freescale, etc. I guess some ARM netbooks running Linux are coming soon. - someone presented some insightful classification of users of social networks: - door: people that keep things private, but use the social networks for initial contact - mirror: people that record their live (lots of pictures) - room: people that interact a lot publicly, with different activities - I played a Wii Tennis game with Sébastien Bacher. Ubuntu vs openSUSE. I won :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week report 2009#46+47
by Vincent Untz 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hey, Some combo report, since I didn't send mine last week, it seems... Week 46 ======= What I did last week (so, hrm, two weeks ago): - sent GNOME 3.0 release date and 2.30 new modules announcement - fixed the import of userid in test build service - holiday on wednesday - triage bugs - some packaging for factory - tried to push the french community to participate with a booth at one of the big event in France. Didn't get enough reply yet to be sure it can be done... What I plan to do this week (that is, last week): - attend UDS while still being in touch with the world Week 47 ======= What I did last week: - attended UDS. Lots of discussion, I'll send a separate report. - tried to help with poppler maintenance, and gave some hints for internal stuff - did some upstream work during UDS, fixing bugs and starting some code cleanup in some of my modules, as well as staying on top of the GNOME Foundation stuff - looked for people to run for the openSUSE board, and had some chats about this - helped find the fix for SUSE Studio / openSUSE 11.2 GNOME blocker issue What I plan to do this week: - code to maintain the osc collab service without the high load on the server (I'm cheating, since I'm in the middle of this right now, so it's not really a plan anymore ;-)) - packaging for factory - start planning some amazing "I have lots of info about upstream" web service (web service to get upstream versions, at least that's the first step). This is needed to merge the collab stuff with the factory.o.o work. - start realizing I have action items for the GNOME Foundation What has been annoying me: - I'm really unsure what should be done with poppler for security updates: it seems we have nobody with enough knowledge (and time, I guess) to make sure everything goes smoothly :/ - I also wanted to review upstream patches that are waiting in bugzilla, but couldn't manage it Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, What i did: - Finally distributed the orphaned packages. I'm down to ~40 packages and ~50 bugs. First time since February that i can do something else than firefighting - Talked to Scott about some presentation machines. (HP TouchSmart 600xt). - util-linux/e2fsprogs features for SP1 - Talked to Roland/Michl about local openSUSE activities - What I'm planing to do: What blocks me: - lists.opensuse.org hardware failures. Last week a HD died so i let the raid run in degraded mode. Apparently the fs did not survive this. This lead to another failure on saturday. Adrian replaced the HD but now the system is unstable. Looks like i can't put off the move to SLES11 and new hardware any longer. -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE. Everybody has a plan, until they get hit. - Mike Tyson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
