[green] - finished last piece of sec bug - looked into ruby s390 bug - started populating the opensuse xen host - worked on (network) security proposal and got the ok from Roman for it. - TODO: documentation needed - hosts migrated or newly setup - community.o.o (old machine died right at the same time) - boosters.o.o (runs connect and retro) - narwal (not production yet) - shared mysql and proxy host - TODO: - documentation needed - find co maintainers for hosts. - investigated the liquid version of the 960 grid system: [sprint] it suffers the same problems with large tables/images as the non liquid version, but it uses space better. limiting the layout with min-width/max-width worked nicely so we could create layout that accomodate a bit better to larger screens. -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[green] - one desaster day: auto broke down on the way to work, spent quite some time with waiting for the ADAC and nice trip in a Tatuetata-Laster-Bagger - finished and released M2 - reviwed tons of submit requests and changes - spent friday converting devel projects into branches - tried to hunt down the memory leak of software.o.o (failed, but had a nice idea on the way into the weekend) - wrote maintenance plan for 11.3 - joined PLT for 11.3 interlock -> success, but we need to find a way for netbook/moblin - fixed some packages for the gcc 4.5 / autoconf fall out [sprint] - evaluated the possibilities on integrating /search into the main download page (looks quite reasonable once the navigation moves into the top bar). Created three new stories out of the results of evaluation - put a brain dump of "port build.o.o to bento" into stories - worked on tabs for package views (not yet pushed) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Browser Testing Tool

20 Feb '10

Hello All, I just wanted to share a browser-testing tool with you: https://browserlab.adobe.com/ If you don't know it already: Here you can add an URL and you get a bunch of screenshots back made from the main Browsers on the main OS. I checkt Bento right now and it's looking good for us :-) Only Windows seams to have some padding problems :-D So far!

Standup Meeting 2010/02/16
by Henne Vogelsang 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This sprint was going from February 4th to February 16th. Even though it included going to FOSDEM over the weekend we were able to reach one milestone: Buildservice Project Overview Page (a.k.a. factory.o.o) hurray! The wiki milestone finally moved forward again and the umbrella milestone got a new push with limiting it's scope to the Bentoo theme. All in all a pretty successful sprint! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Miscellaneous Topics Things that came up, stuff that is happening. Something everybody should be aware of. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * retrospectiva Darix is deploying a VM on our HA xen cluster as we speak, the machines will be boosters.o.o as incubation host for the things we develop and retro.o.o. AI henne: announce retro.o.o properly * Internal Stuff Individual Objectives (Booooooring) * What to do next? As one squad is finished with its milestone we talked about how to continue in this situation. The outcome was that we create a new milestone (improve the openFATE process) and shuffle people around. The new squads are: Wiki: Henne, Tom, Petr, Lubos Umbrella: Coolo, Robert, Darix, Michal, Pavol openFATE: Klaas, Vincent, Will, Egbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standup Every squad has to stand up and tell the others what they did do in the last sprint, what they are planing to do in the next sprint and what blocks them currently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * factory.o.o squad We did finish upstream version tracking and with it the whole milestone. You can see the result at: https://build.opensuse.org/project/status?project=$PROJECT so for instance https://build.opensuse.org/project/status?project=openSUSE:Factory We plan to announce it properly on and tell people about it. AI: wstephenson We are blocked by nothing. * Umbrella We did add a proof-of-concept API to connect.o.o and generally worked on it. Thought about group membership request voting (eg. for opensuse members group). We also deployed a new VM to be able to deploy/incubate our project. It also serves as host for retrospectiva. We plan to push the Bento theme to wiki.o.o in cooperation with Frank. Port software.o.o to bento theme. A couple of Bento problems also need to be solved. We need to find a solution for wiki specific links and the left column. We also will start browser testing/debugging. And to be able to gather contributors for connect.o.o we plan to finish the deployment and announce it properly. * Developer Documentation We did help to prepare the new instance so we can actually transfer content into it. For this we are making sure that the current content on wiki.o.o, mainly templates, is functional and follows the various guidelines of the wiki team. This is proving to be more work than expected, but it's going forward. We plan to finish the overhaul of the content and work on some missing technical features of the wiki like change notification. After this is finished we plan to finally transfer developer documentation into it. This shall be the first really useful area in the new instance and serve as an example of all the new features and processes. We are blocked by nothing at the moment. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[AMBER] * Lots of last minute testing and fixing of KDE 4.4 packages; we didn't have a LiveCD ready in time leading press like Ars Technica to try and use openSUSE Factory, fail and use Kubuntu instead :(. We need to be better organised around upstream releases that pull people to us. * Semantic stuff in our packages is just not working reliably - learning how nepomuksearch is supposed to work and troubleshooting it [GREEN] * Learned KIWI, prepared LiveCD with it and Studio * Updated soprano and some other packages I forgot to note, troubleshooting in strigi * Wrote news.opensuse.org article for the KDE sprint * lots of OBS request review for community members -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi, what i did ---------- - FOSDEM recovery. What a great event! Travel was awesome. The cross distro stuff was very good IMHO, our talks also and the investments we made for easier booth setup helped too. The best part was the team working together. Best event so far for me, i even was able to attend talks myself. - Kicked off the new wiki instance again. Seems like everybody was waiting for this. We produce facts now instead of discussion everything to an end. Since Friday i worked 4 days on it and nearly have it in a shape where we can transfer Developer documentation into it. If you're interested in gory details have a look at mails with the subject "wiki.o.o news $DAY" on opensuse-wiki - Talked to people about integration of the mailinglists with the forums... - Some PM work: talking about 11.3 features and themes - Some people management what I'm planing to do ---------------------- - Have wiki.o.o ready so we can transfer developer documentation - Bring the others up to speed (again i did not do this :() - milestone 2 is due... what is blocking me ------------------- N/A Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE. Everybody has a plan, until they get hit. - Mike Tyson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[green] - reviewed package submissions and dangling updates - evaluated upstart as sysvinit replacement - packaged cpanspec to reduce the number of perl packages submitted following fedora and not opensuse guidelines - talked with Duncan, Adrian and Thomas about ideas around "app store" - nothing concrete came out of it yet, but I think we will have more talks - reviewed gcc 4.5 fallout to discuss with richi the TODO list before we can switch (will happen after M2) - alarmed autobuild about regular nonsense commits, which triggered complains about hermes notifications - evaluated what needs to be done to improve hermes notification, one thing was simplification of the hermes templates. Another was discussed this week in BS meeting: remember source commit ids - after announcing upstart for factory, there were a lot of interesting replies and even volunteers to maintain dash - nice. - preparation for 11.3 interlock - little side discussion with labs and mmeeks about automated bootcharting for factory - would be nice to have time to revive this little project of mine ;( - spent the weekend sorting out build failures to get M2 this week ;( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
