Egbert's Weeks 48 - 50
by Egbert Eich 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

Egbert's Weeks 48 - 50 ====================== Past Weeks: - Dealt with AMD about graphics. - Took part in the discussion about the Connect sprint. - Started to get acquainted with PHP and Elgg. - Added a page handler to search for user info in data base and return the data as xml. This feature was still left over from the openFATE work and is a prerequisite for a user interface to openFATE to search for possible actors. - Scrapped the page handler and started to add this functionality as a REST API to connect_api. - Battled with travel expenses. This week: - Finish adding user info functionality to connect_api. - Look for other stories to implement. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[amber] - once again it was found out that 11.4 has no "key features", because everyone works on either infrastructure, SLE or marketing. And the 11.3 "key features" are not even maintained for 11.4, e.g. spideroak fails to build since august. [green] - worked on sysvinit provides - assisted greg with tumbleweed setup - fixed tons of packages - watched and rediscussed dispatcher priorities -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Connect poll test
by Thomas Schmidt 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi, the board elections will start in january 2011, and we are in the process of phasing out users.opensuse.org in favour for connect.opensuse.org. So we need to make sure that we can run the election there. There is a poll plugin available, that we plan to use for this. I created a test poll for the board elections here: http://connect.opensuse.org/pg/polls/read/digitaltomm/10593/board-election-… (opensuse login not yet working, please ask prusnak if you don't have a test account) The issues I currently see are: - Start- End-date: Users.o.o had this configureable. In case of need we can click at the right time, but I don't see how to end a vote. - The results shouldn't be visible until the vote is done. Maybe it's also ok if only users that already voted can see the intermediate results? - It would be nice if we could add some introductory text above the poll options. - Users.o.o had much nicer graphs on participation, results. We may create those manually with an external tool. See for example: https://users.opensuse.org/elections/2/result - We need to announce the election to all members. Users.o.o had a function for this. To do this manually we need at least a list of all members emails. - Is it ok that one can see which user already voted, and when he voted? By constantly monitoring you could create a list which member voted for wich candidate. - The vote is now restricted to the group 'members'. Does this mean it is only visible for them, or can everyone see it? - The site needs more design love.
