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.

handling tasks
by Marcus Moeller 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi all. I an not sure yet how group tasks are coordinated. What I have noticed is that reports are delivered every Monday, but how is communication handled while working on open tasks? Are PMs/IRC query preferred or should this list be used (which may of course cause some traffic which is not relevant for everybody).

Hi, What i did: * worked on the wiki migration, mainly packaging and friends and management of the release * Participated in an ran our bi-weekly standup meeting * Helped Sascha with all the Weekly News content. A major cleanup * Wrestled with Adrian and Lubos about the new wiki structure. I won! 8) * Face 2 Face Board meeting on Friday morning * Tried to push cfp(a)o.o through and failed * tried to keep the strategy discussion based in reality * talked to dirk about what he expects from the boosters for maintenance * attended the meet&greet with the board on Friday. We really need to step up on execution of these events or we will never gain visitors. On the contrary, judging from the number of participants from the office this time. What i plan to do: * continue the wiki migration. especially getting a the release date set * work on my linuxtag talks What is blocking me: It's not blocking me but I'm getting tired of "fighting" with people about new ways of doing things. I wish this community would be a bit more open minded, not so reserved with change and more trustful sometimes *sniff* Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Umbrella Sprint Summary
by Pavol Rusnak 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi all! For the last few months some of the Boosters were working on "Umbrella" infrastructure concept for openSUSE. Various web tools grew over time and unfortunately they became almost independant and disconnected from each other. We decided to improve the situation by making openSUSE websites more integrated and easier accesible in order to help people to find the stuff they are looking for. During the openSUSE Conference 2009 Klaas gave a talk [1] about the current state of tools and our improvement plans. Robert created a brand new Bento theme which allowed Pavol to create a simple global menu to put on top of each website. These menus group all links to other websites into four categories: Downloads, Support, Community and Development. These more-or-less correspond to groups of users openSUSE has, which makes navigation easy and fun! The Bento theme was later ported to MediaWiki engine by Michal, so we could use it in our new wiki instance [2], which is being filled in with content at the moment by other Boosters in cooperation with Wiki team. We were more than happy to accept help from Pascal Bleser who completely remixed Planet openSUSE to visually match the rest of the sites, while delivering lots of other improvements (like keyboard navigation for example). One of the things that also witnessed the design change was software.opensuse.org, our portal for downloading the last stable and development releases also containing a package search. It now contains a link to openSUSE Derivatives. Coolo and Tom continued their Build Service efforts from their previous "Factory Page" sprint, which lead to massive web user interface overhaul. You can read about it in the previous separate post by Andreas [3]. What was left out of the sprint were the Wordpress theme and vBulletin forums theme. The first one is more-or-less ready [4] but is not yet tested. You welcome to help us with these to make the theme transition complete. Robert also created a style guide which is available from our wiki [5] and should help you with using and applying the Bento theme. While it is quite short at the moment, it will be enhanced with nice "How To" documents soon. This concludes our long but important "Umbrella" sprint and Boosters are already looking forward to other exciting challenges.

Few suggestions
by Michal Hrusecky 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi everybody, we had a visitor on IRC suggesting the we should be more transparent to make it easier for community to join in. Suggested improvement were to speak more loudly about what we are working on right now. One easy way how to track boosters would be identi.ca group where we would post our boosting related notices. It takes quite some time to write a blogpost and I always thinks twice whether I really have something to say before doing so, but sending identi.ca notices takes almost no time and I don't have to really think about that that carefully. Only hard part in realizing this is to think of nice and short nickname for this group, so any suggestions? My idea was 'suseboost', but I think there must be something better out there in your minds... Other thing that came across my mind while speaking about transparency is that we have our biweekly meeting where we discuss, what we are doing. But these meetings are closed teleconferences. What about changing them to public IRC meetings? I know there are still few administrative internal stuff we need to discuss from time to time, but generally we speak about our sprints and this can be public and we can let anybody join with comments and suggestions. Also taking notes would be much easier ;-) -- 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
