Threads in hermes mails
by Vincent Untz 14 May '11

14 May '11

Hey, I love hermes mails, but I would love them even more if the mails for one request where all grouped in a thread. So here's my completely untested attempt for this (and I'm not sure I'm still fluent in perl, so there might be some stupid errors). Is there any way to easily test this kind of things? Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés.

by Cash Costello 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

I saw your tweets about using Elgg for openSUSE Connect and left a comment on one of your blog posts. Pavol sent me an email and suggested I subscribe to this mailing list. I'm a recent addition to the core Elgg development team. I managed the development for the upcoming 1.7.2 release and have been an active plugin developer. Some of my plugins are available here: http://github.com/cash I'll be monitoring this mailing list and am also available for providing guidance on using Elgg. If you have any feedback on it, you can also shoot it my way.

Week report 2010#51
by Vincent Untz 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Hi, What I did last week: + created a list of potential maintenance updates for the community + investigated libwebkit security update + pushed further organization of cross-distro meeting about app installer + GNOME 2.91.4: tried to release it upstream, and failed because of too many issues found during testing. So it's late, and Christmas made it even later since it's still not released as of today :/ What I'm doing this week: + enjoying the holidays :-) 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

FOSDEM session proposal
by Jos Poortvliet 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Following the Amazing Michal, I decided to also send in a proposal. It is however my usual stuff, not sure if it is fitting, so please comment (henne esp): Amazing openSUSE openSUSE has developed both great infrastructure technology and a powerful enduser product; where is it going now? Over 5 years ago Novell decided to turn their new asset, SuSE Linux GmbH into a community distribution. It was a long and laborious process but since almost 2 years now the development processes have been opened up to the community. We now speak of openSUSE, a community which is now searching for it's direction. The project has state-of-the-art infrastructure at its disposal and develops a modern, stable and powerful linux distribution. Meanwhile, communication and marketing are it's weak points - innovative technologies like the openSUSE Build Service and SUSE Studio do not get the exposure they deserve. In this talk an overview is given of openSUSE's history, the developments in the community and the latest openSUSE technology is presented.

And maybe we could do a milestone on that? Currently "here's what we can do", "here is what OpenEmbedded does", and "here is what I am doing, and how I plan to do things, join me or propose something better". -- 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

Collaboration from the packagers point of view. Starts with a short talk. General talk about what boring stuff we are doing during packaging, where is work duplicated and some proposals about how it can work in the ideal world. Talk will mention sharing downstream patches, package names unification/mapping, Lubos's obs-generator and OpenEmbedded as an example of possible ultimate goal. Hopefully the rest of the session would be discussion around these topics with interested people. I already had some session about bitbake and OpenEmbedded on openSUSE Conference in 2009 and discussion took so long that we didn't get to other topics that I wanted to speak about. So it would be more lowlevel than talk that henne pointed out. -- 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

connect deployment
by Thomas Schmidt 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Hi, I added the initial version of the openfate widget. To enable it we need an xml extension installed on the server: php5-pecl_http Unfortunately I forgot how to deploy the server. Could someone who knows create a README.deploy and explain how we deploy connect?

Hey, What I did last week: - as expected, cried because of the build failures. Took me quite some time to fix those. - prepared GNOME:Next, and started working on it: this is where we will get GNOME 3.0 packaged for 11.4. - long openSUSE-GNOME meeting, with good participation. - went to Paris for Christmas party, and had fun there. - lots of discussion in Paris, and did some OBS training to people who wanted to learn about it. Got good feedback. What I plan to do this week: - release GNOME 2.91.4 - keep working on GNOME:Next - push GNOME to Tumbleweed (harder than expected) - leave for vacation on Friday 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
