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.

Something else Frank Sundermeyer found is, that the fluid skin does not compress the blank space on the left and right of the content area when making the window smaller.

umbrella sprint
by Stephan Kulow 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Hi, As retrospectiva is hardly used, I wonder: what is left to do for umbrella? IMO we're 95% there, so if I don't overlook too much I would like us to close the current sprint, set a deadline and sprint toward a release (not sure why I have to write such mails as I have clearly other projects to manage, but anyway). The problem I see is that bento applies also to the build service and if we release umbrella/bento, we also need to switch to 2.0 on build.opensuse.org. The question there is if we combine 2.0 with bento and kind of water the news - or even risk making bento "the build service 2.0 theme". Or perhaps it's not a risk, but an advantage - I don't know. Oppinions? I just think we should clearly come to an end. I see about no activity on the umbrella front, Robert and me seem to be the only one left ;( Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

What to do about external services credentials
by Andrew Wafaa 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Aloha oh mighty Boosters, I'm not sure who best to ask about this, but seeing as you guys deal with most of the openSUSE infrastructure I thought I'd start with you fine knowledgeable folk. Basically my question is this: Is there a central store for openSUSE credentials for external services? In my case I would like to pass the credentials of BlipTV & YouTube on just in case there is any issue with me - getting arrested, arguing with a bus, loosing what few brain cells I have etc. Also it would be good to make sure that there is no single point of failure for any of these services (not just the video ones, but any other service we decide to use).

What?! I didn't check the code of the dropdown, but nowadays it's possible to create dropdown menus that don't even need javascript (well, except in IE 6 ;-) Of course you can't get effects like slowly fading in with pure CSS :hover, but it works. And for people with JS enabled, the effect can still be there. Personally, I'm using the "son of suckerfish" menu in several pages. That's just using nested <ul> / <li> with some :hover CSS. To have the fade-in effect, use the superfish menu [1] which is is based on the suckerfish menu and jquery. BTW: Making the dropdowns appear on mouseover instead of requiring a click would be a good idea IMHO.

default skin on wiki.o.o
by Thomas Schmidt 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

After discussing with henne, we came to the conclusion to prefer bentofluid[1] over standard bento[2] for the new wiki skin. I think the skin is ready to be used as default on wiki.o.o to get some more feedback and have it ready for production at the same time as the wiki relaunch. This will hopefully align with the release of the new bento design on build.o.o, software.o.o etc. Therefore I propose to set bentofluid as default beginning with next week.

And yes, it's a lot of work; but that's not a show-stopper :-) We had a similar idea in discussion some month ago, but right now -i think- nobody is working on it. The idea came up in the context of the "All under one umbrella"-project [1]. @Pavol/@Boosters: Do you know if there is something going on in this direction? In general, I would not replace the default landing-page (http://www.opensuse.org) with such a portal. But I think it would be cool for loged-in users. So they would have there own "dashboard". This would be a benefit. It should be possible to contribute own widgets ... and/or hijack igoogle widgets. That would be pretty social-communityish, wouldn't it? Is somebody volunteering to make a proposal? Thank your for sharing Jon!

Week reports 2010#11-14
by Vincent Untz 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

So it looks like I've been bad at sending my week reports recently. Let's fix this all at once... Week 11: + went to Paris for Solutions Linux: - gave two talks (release management, GNOME 3 -- my build service talk didn't make it) - listened to a talk about Project Builder, and gave some Build Service perspective (I had already chatted about the person behind Project Builder a year and a half ago) - participated to the GNOME booth when I had time. We demoed GNOME Shell and got positive feedback about it -- more positive than what we expected :-) - played with KDE again, since we were with our KDE friends - chatted about openSUSE to various people, but we didn't have a booth (we couldn't request one since we didn't manage to get enough volunteers to man it all the time) - Novell had no booth either, and it was interesting to see many people coming to me asking why. Note that Red Hat didn't have one either, and Canonical had only a small one. - Microsoft had a booth, and I could play with Surface. It's interesting, while not as life-changing as I thought; I managed to make it crash :-) + caught up with Novell France people, and chatted about where Solutions Linux is going Week 12: + got my openvpn access (thanks Klaas!) + caught up with mails, packages, etc. (lots of GNOME Foundation stuff to catch up) + keep working in dropping the GNOME 1.x stack + played with the openFATE code some more, but was blocked because it doesn't run + review upstream patches + sent a first mail to get an openSUSE booth to the other main french event (RMLL in July) + got two RMLL talks accepted (GNOME 3 and contributing to openSUSE) Week 13: + this was the crazy GNOME 2.30.0 week (this kept me busy nearly all week) + released GNOME 2.30.0: - coordinated the release - last-minute review of patches - released my tarballs - released tarballs of other people (I ended up releasing 30 tarballs...) - tested - packaged it + fix security issue in transmission + push GNOME packages in Contrib to Factory + helped push the imobiledevice stack + packaged a few new packages Week 14: + review GNOME-related features + review GNOME bugs + dumped a list of GNOMEy applications we should package + participated in a Novell-internal meeting + investigated why the hermes messages for delete requests and change_devel requests didn't have any useful information, wrote a patch, and updated a hermes template + tried to fix my openfate issue, without success + requested deletion of glib 1.x and gtk 1.x! + GNOME release team meeting 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

[RED] [AMBER] [GREEN] - Peoplemanagement - openFATE: proxy is running so far with the extension to change status from unconfirmned to new, rejected and such. Worked on the web app: Set up environment, did some changes to for me challenging Javascript and rails code. - Wrote a Hermes-Client-Lib which makes it easier to notify Hermes about stuff from other systems. Dirk built that into the Maintenance stack, which makes openSUSE and SLE Maintanance Updates now appear on Twitter, as RSS feeds etc. Good mood, because all worked quite smoothly. - Worked on a wiki multi language concept - did some packaging to stay in the business. - some travel organisations - Big meetings with open-slx people to make the cooperation even better, specifically on the wiki topic. Plan: - openFATE goal - some Hermes changes - more Peoplemanagement -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[amber] - Milestone5 is delayed without big suprise - I have a terrible cold, can't hardly speak. In addition to that, having to work on that slow laptop, slows me down even more ;) [green] - put a lot of effort into getting M5 into shape - put less effort into webui - tried to get the memory usage on API under control, set sticter ulimits for rails processes and worked with darix on a way to avoid having the texlive.rpm in ruby memory when forwarding data from backend to user - implemented dependency browser for binary packages and added a check, so that public binaries are not offered as api downloads but from download.o.o Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Work Report 12+13/2010
by Klaas Freitag 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

[GREEN] - Visited openExpo, Switzerland Nice little event with high interest in FOSS, many people. Actually the event is an event for closed source ERP software for small and medium business basically. Along that, there is an area for free projects. The FOSS part was way more crowded than the commercial part. Shared a little table with "the KDE project" presenting Kraft. Some interesting contacts and conversations. Gave away some openSUSE 11.2 promo DVDs, had some chats about openSUSE and Novell. It is astonishing how much wired stories are still around about Novell and SUSE and open source etc. - vacation :-) - Announced openSUSE Beego: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/04/01/announce-opensuse-beego/ Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
