Hi, What I did last week: + openSUSE-GNOME: - some support around GNOME:STABLE:2.32, that lead me to fixes a few issues there. It's not easy to install, apparently :/ - participated in a team meeting about what the team should do during the openSUSE conference. - worked on dropping the last bits of SuSEconfig usage in GNOME packages. This included fixing gdm for passwordless login, writing macros for desktop-file-utils, shared-mime-info. + openSUSE: - review the updated strategy and add many comments - played with rpmlint a bit and wrote rpmlint checks to make sure packages use the new rpm macros in GNOME + upstream: - released tarballs for GNOME 2.91.0 - hacked a bit on various things upstream for GNOME 3 (was one of the first person to port an application from pygtk to pygobject + introspection) - finish and send the proposal about moduleset reorganization: the release team wants to reorganize what we release as GNOME, and to be a bit more inclusive at the same time + misc: - read and participated to a long internal thread - took time to think about my talks in the next few weeks - grew older What I plan to do this week: + write talks for JDLL and openSUSE conference. Or, pretend to. I need to make sure gnome-shell works fine on my laptop, and to create packages for some specific branch. + GNOME Advisory Board: will talk there about the moduleset reorganization + work on xdg specs + more packaging work + get ready for long travel 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

What I did: - little bit of uninteresting MySQL polishing - working on REST API for connect.opensuse.org [1] * we've got some basic API * we can give applications keys to authorize against connect - it is possible to give each application more/less rights in the future * modifying API is easy and I learned how to do that * we should talk about final version of API - best would be unconference session - discussion on conference I think - we can try to start integrating connect elsewhere (Pavol is working on getting data from users I think) * it can be extended any time later [1] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Connect_API What I plan to do: - blog about current state of connect - prepare for the openSUSE Conference -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz

Hola, What I did last week: + missed the team meeting :/ I was deep in release management mode... + released GNOME 2.32.0: - handled the release upstream. Even though it was smaller than usual (since a lot of changes were kept in branches for 3.0), it took some time. I released something like 20-25 tarballs myself, and pinged people to fix last-minute issues. - helped integrate 2.32.0 in GNOME:Factory. We had 2.32.0 available before the official release this way, and it was really useful for me to find broken tarballs this way. - created GNOME:STABLE:2.32 for people to go crazy and provide a easy-to-use backport for 11.3. + handled a few security issues. + created a spec-cleaner package at the request of various people. I need to blog about this tool, it's really handy. + filled performance review + updated GNOME patterns after discussion within the GNOME team + helped one upstream maintainer move to openSUSE. Yay! :-) What I plan to do this week: + I thought I could take a break upstream, but the GNOME 3 work is already urgent... So probably a bit of that. + think hard about talks: I have two talks next week at the JDLL, and then two talks and a keynote the week after at the openSUSE conference. + eat a big cake 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
