And Identi.ca would allow !group postings, which is good for comments and collaboration. Besides that the boosters wiki page contains not that much useful information. After reading it twice I still did not know what the boosters are for, if they are open to join (what would be good, for a community) or what they a did in the past. Also quotes like ' Rid the world of all Evil' are nice but does not explain that much. I would also like to now how to add a new goal, who decides which goals are accepted and if one (from the community) could step in to help solving problems.

Umbrella sprint summary - DRAFT
by Pavol Rusnak 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hola! Under the line you'll find my draft for Umbrella sprint wrap-up email. Comments and fixes are gladly welcome. I will send the final version to news.o.o tomorrow. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 and also a package search. 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 "Umbrella" sprint and Boosters are already looking forward to other exciting challenges.

11.3 Maintenance
by Klaas Freitag 26 May '10

26 May '10

Boosters, for the upcoming 11.3 we're continuing to open the maintenance efforts to the community. For that the openSUSE maintenance team must be boosted a bit and our L3/Maint department has asked for two names from the Boosters who do that. I guess it will be an kind of ongoing effort until thats running and some training from the L3/Maints is involved. Who is volunteering?
