Worked on fixing keeperproxy issue with savon <actor> changes. The new UI allowing to enter either userid or email or fullname breakes the old merging routine. It's a bit more triky than I thought. So I that takes some time also next week. Set up local OBS WebUI at my machine. Planning to implement creating the DUD- Packlist-XML needed by the newest version of the DUD service on my own - tricky because I am still quite new to Rails. Next week I will implement merging of <relation>s in FATE's keeperproxy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Boosters Standup Meeting 2010/11/08
by Henne Vogelsang 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi, Present: Tom, Robert, Klaas, Henne, Will, Christopher, Michal, Pavol, Egbert Missing: Vincent General ------- * Ismail will probably start around January. * We're still looking for more people to hire! * FOSDEM cross distro mini conf call for papers * Think about what you can do * Pick up osc10 ideas that where floating around about cross distro services. Appstore, Package Descriptions, Packagename Table, pkg-config etc. etc. Lets make this time about the future rather then presenting what we did in the past. * Workreport format is now mandatory DPB (DID, PLAN, BLOCK) Standup ------- * openFATE We did... debug the KeeperProxy together with AJ. It had a problem with added roles, fixes are still pending. We deployed the new frontend to the production machine and worked on fixing interface bugs. We investigated Elgg to work on the connection from openFATE to connect. We implemented a "more than one person" query in hermes. We plan... Having a meeting with the new screening team to gather feedback. Iron out the bugs we recieve and then switch the default on the production machine. We also will make sure the same codebase can work for partnerfate and we want to have a usability meeting about the new interface. We are blocked by... Egbert being on an AMD meeting the next week. * Connect We did... implement features that we collected at the osc10 talk and BoF. One is the LDAP export for user data and the other one is a User2User trust expression that calculates into global trust rating for a User that is exported to the OBS. We plan... to come up with a migration plan for the upcoming board elections and the membership handling. That happened so far in users and need to happen in connect now. We are blocked by... the iChain setup creation that isnt finished yet and the taking care of a poster for Linux Magazine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week report 2010#44
by Vincent Untz 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

What I did last week: + holiday on Monday + attended Linux Plumbers Conference: - listened to various sessions, and learnt more about plymouth, systemd, current status of X and wayland, etc. Definitely most useful to know where we are going. - chaired the desktop track, where we had some good discussion on EGL, multi-card in X, systemd in the user session and more. - was interesting to see that many people do think the packaging work in distros is wasted & duplicated work at the moment. There's an opportunity that aligns well with the all market place idea. - saw Linus swim in the Boston aquarium. There were supposed to be sharks in the aquarium, but unfortunately, they were away ;-) + attended GNOME Boston Summit: - good discussion on GNOME 3, current status of GNOME Shell, and what we need to do in the next few months - found out that one big issue that people had with the moduleset reorganization is because of a misunderstanding on terminology. This will help a lot. - gave some thoughts on what to do wrt GTK+ 4 and the GNOME platform for GNOME 3 (GNOME 3 will be out with GTK+ 3 and our platform is supposed to stay stable, so GTK+ 4, if coming soon as planned, is challenging) - worked on marketing plans, and on some Friends of GNOME plans - we had a demo of litl OS - got some agreement on the idea of releasing images of various distros for GNOME 3.0 + got badly sick on the second day of Plumbers and that made Plumbers and the Boston Summit much less productive for me :/ What I will do this week: + last day of Boston Summit (today) + travel back to France + catch up with everything + holiday/vacation at the end of the week 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

Workreport
by Henne Vogelsang 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hey, i did enjoy the public holiday on Monday. Took care of and created some new mailinglists. Blogged about what we did the last couple of months. Started another round of maintainer/bugownership cleanup in the OBS for me and started to take care of the packages that are really mine again. Investigated tablet devices to take with us to fairs and to play with. Ordered two WeTabs. Ran and participated in the openSUSE Project and Board meetings. I plan to spend ITO on freevo because they plan a last 1.x branch release that should push users over to 2.x. I am blocked by nothing.
