Talks on openSUSE celebrates XMas
by Klaas Freitag 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi, you should have noticed that we have next wednesday a small event "openSUSE celebrates XMas" which is public. We have three talks: 1. openSUSE 11.2 in Action - how eases 11.2 my daily computer live? This is a talk for beginners showing that 11.2 has many benefits for daily computer use, Keywords Desktop, Software Management, Internet, whatever. 2. Imaging with Free Software - showing gimp and other tricky stuff by the example of ancient city plans - held by Jürgen Weigert. 3. Jump in to openSUSE - how can I help the project, not only as a developer. As you realize there is not yet a name at talk 1. and 3., we need a presenter for each. So who is volunteering? Note that both talks should be around 30 minutes, preferably held in german, otherwise english. So jump up!

Retrospective next Week
by Klaas Freitag 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Friends, in our agile adventure we should not forget that so called Retrospectivas are also part of the game. No Indiana Jones without rope bridge ;-) The retrospective is a kind of reflection meeting were we will discuss what happend so far and what we better should change. We will do that next week, Henne, could you please resevere at least two hours on the schedule for that? To make most out of the time I'd like to give you a little homework: Please sit down everybody and anwer three questions which are * what has worked out well which we should point out? * What should better be changed? * What is still difficult or not solved at all? For me it was usefull to answer these questions along the three areas - our sprinting so far, the results and the teaming - our agile process in general - practices and tools I know you all love these kind of activities as I do but all literature says that retrospecitves are one of the most important activities in agile. And we all know that reflecting of the own doing is key... Don't louse up your weekend with this homework (I know I have to tell you that ;-) but please be prepared although this is short notice...

Week report 2009#49
by Vincent Untz 07 Dec '09

What I did last week: - announce GUADEC location - released some tarballs for GNOME 2.29.3 - a looooot of GNOME packaging, with some specific attention to various issues (like the new accessibility stack, which requires some migration) - investigated more the "gdm blocks shutdown" bug on 11.2 (bnc#540482). Pretty sure it's not a bug with gdm/ConsoleKit now, but with chvt. - filed some features for 11.3, to extract information from my brain - caught up with clarity What I plan to do this week: - some GNOME Foundation stuff (we have an advisory board meeting) - finish the GNOME packaging (I'm seeing the end of the tunnel) - encourage some discussion about a potential update to GNOME 2.28.2 in 11.2 (apparently, the maintenance team is not opposed to the idea). That would fix tons of bugs. - go back to the squad work What has been blocking me: - there was way too much GNOME packaging to do. It usually doesn't take that long to update packages, but that happens when we do not follow closely the upstream releases (and of course, if you add some new build failures in the mix). Note: I'll be working from Paris for the second half of the week.
