Hi, But you agree that creating mockups alone won't help you finish the goal of a theme that works for all applications, right? So I think the approach to "define something, try it, redefine it, try it again, redefine it, try it again till it works" is a good one - it just needs to be clear that all our porting efforts are part of the great "define a common theme" goal and to me it is. Then again I must say I asked you the week before christmas what the timeline for bento is and you said it's only weeks from finished not months (I asked you explicitly) and you agreed that starting to experiment with it for build.o.o is good. Now I'm suprised you meant "DON'T TOUCH IT!" when you said that.

What I did: - integration work of the bento theme - http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Portal:Development&useskin=bento - migrated openfate pages to get into the migration process - discussions about flaggedrevs <-> forum integration, I think the planned review process is too complicated, but I will help to get it running.

[GREEN] - finished docs and did public release of kde-obs-generator (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2010-03/msg00019.html), by now there has been some feedback and there are few OBS home repos using it; it's a bit early to judge now, but given that the docs include even step by step tutorial, I expected a bit better :-/ - fixes and translation updates for SP1 - KDE IRC meeting -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Bento-Theme implementation approach
by Robert Lihm 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello All, I would like to share some impressions and thoughts with you about the ongoing bento-theme implementation to opensuse.org. When we decided to create a new look & feel for opensuse.org (aka Umbrella Projekt), I was very happy because this time I saw the chance to avoid the mistakes we did when setting up the current theme. My plan was to first make a draft along with some mock-ups for the different web applications and to discuss this draft. Next I planned to assemble a list of requirements and resources the different web applications use in order to be able to create a real "umbrella" for all apps. Finally I wanted to set up a central server, serving all common images, css and js files and providing a master template and a style guide for all web applications. Unfortunately the whole project went in a totally different direction, with people implementing an unfinished draft version on several web applications. The "Head first Design"-vison ist gone now. This is kind of a deja vu for me, because this is very similar to what happened when implementing the current theme. In part this may be my fault, because I did not say "DON'T TOUCH IT, it's still fluid!" at the right moment. From my point of view we are on track of missing the goal of the umbrella project. Instead of generating a unique theme that can be used on all our web applications we are currently creating a number of totally independent themes that have (more or less) a similar look. Status Quo is, that the Bento-Theme, especially HTML/CSS/JS/Graphics, is still unfinished. The following is still work in progress: * CSS classes and ids need to be properly defined * CSS, JS and graphics need to be organised in a way that every web application can use them from a single source (static.o.o) * we still need to figure out how to handle 3rd party application specific CSS (e.g. from the wiki and WordPress) * we need to find a way to consolidate the CSS/JS used in the web apps we develop on our own * JS needs to be object oriented so it can be used with all applications I'm afraid that we make the same mistakes we made with the current opensuse.org theme and endup with a big, not maintainable, patchwork- monster-theme. Thank you for your attention. Best, Robert PS: Just for the protocol: That we have our sources in two different systems (git/svn) makes me unhappy. --- Robert Lihm, Webdesigner - openSUSE Boosters Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0 - rlihm(a)suse.de ____________________________________________________________ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) ____________________________________________________________ SUSE - a Novell business -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week report 2010#9
by Vincent Untz 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

What I did last week: - openfate milestone: + read some openfate code + started adding a isScreener attributes to users + meeting with Klaas and Will. Helped me get a better view of the openfate/proxy/keeper high-level architecture. I'm a strong advocate of not pushing things in the proxy if possible :-) - GNOME Foundation: + board meeting + trying to organize a hackfest about GSettings/dconf + suffered yet another horrible thread on foundation-list, and tried to deal with it + work on various other topics there - packaging: + pushed Dominique and Magnus to really not wait for me and to not be afraid of not having my reviews :-) + probably some other packaging stuff, but I honestly don't remember - Linuxtag: my GNOME 3 talk will be merged with another GNOME 3 talk in a one hour session, it seems. Should be fun! - Planet GNOME administration What is blocking me: - I'd love to have my openvpn request accepted (not completely blocking, but I have issues with the other vpn from time to time) - I wasn't able to access the fate <-> keeper proxy code. Unsure if it's a vpn issue or some tightened security on the svn server. What I didn't have time to do: - work on xdg specs What I plan this week: - GNOME 2.29.92 - GNOME Foundation advisory board meeting - investigate how to best test openfate - Summer of Code! Will make openSUSE apply. - pretend I'll look at the xdg specs - will be away on Thursday & Friday (ski, hopefully) - will go to Paris the week after (at Solutions Linux from Tuesday to Thursday, in the Paris offices on Monday and Friday) 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

Standup Meeting 2010/03/02
by Henne Vogelsang 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This sprint was going from February 16th to March 2nd. Both old milestones are progressing nicely. First content pops up in wiki.opensuse.org and more and more web-apps get ported to bento. The openFATE milestone is in desperate need for a kick-off in general and especially in retrospectiva so people can understand it. All the general stuff is very much on track and Google Summer of Code looms on the horizon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Miscellaneous Topics Things that came up. Something everybody should be aware of. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * LinuxTag Rumors say that nearly all our talks got accepted so we're looking good on the program side. We're still looking for ideas to attract contributors on the boot for this event. * Google Summer Of Code We want to help organizing the overall thing. Vincent and Henne already stepped up. Henne brought up the idea to make GSOC our only milestone for the time it is running. Everybody would have to take a student and do 3 sprints on a topic with him. * Early planing for the next boosters meeting The last couple of times we were together (OPS Week/FOSDEM) we found no quiet time to meet and discuss/hack together so we should plan something like Gut Schönhof again. Various ideas were floating around. >From the EBC over the back of Coolo's new car, its big enough we heard, to a punk trash house party in a team members soon to be empty flat. The more serious ideas where to somehow couple this meeting to hackweek and linuxtag and to invite a lot of people to it. * Landing page Kálmán Kéménczy from hungary stepped up and made a proposal for a new landing page (opensuse.hu). Tom was asking who would be responsible for that so we can enable Kálmán to do something. As Kálmán already asked on the right mailinglist (opensuse-web) and nobody reacted he can just go ahead. Which is how these situations should be handled and what he is doing now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Developer Documentation Squad We did finish the goal of making the new instance ready to take in content and started Portal:Development. We plan to to transfer all content that is useful for Developers and come up with ideas how to shape the portal. We also added a new goal of making sure that we can get some statistics out of the new wiki. We are blocked by nothing. * Umbrella squad We did finish the xen migration + xen hosts work. Investigated liquid 960gs and prototyped login pages as plain html files because the EM team doesn't point us to the way to do it. We also ported software.o.o to bento theme. Deployed connect.o.o and announced it. Evaluated the possibilities on integrating /search into the main page and using a better search engine. We also added a new goal "port build.o.o to bento" and worked on tabs for package views. * openFATE We did some hermes improvements for openFATE but nothing more. We plan to setup the project on retrospectiva so everybody has an idea what we are aiming for. We were blocked by meetings, the KDE Plasma Sprint and SLEPOS SP1 work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
