Week report 2010#18
by Vincent Untz 12 May '10

12 May '10

What I did last week: - attended the GNOME Marketing hackfest: + http://live.gnome.org/Hackfests/Marketing-2010-05 + the goal was to come up with a plan for the GNOME 3.0 launch, and thanks to the great mix of people, we came up with great ideas, and started working on them. http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/MarketingRoadmap contains some information about this. There are various blog posts with details about how it all went; I can look for the links if people are interested. + we'll try to use SUSE Studio to work on GNOME 3.0 image that people can play with. I've talked with Cornelius about this. + we met with people from the municipality and local government, to see how we could work together. It's good to see that they do understand free software. An interesting example is that a few companies have been contracted to work on accessibility and one explicit requirement is that they work upstream. + I discovered that Zaragoza has started using openSUSE on the desktop. I told them to contact me if they had any issue, especially if it's about customizing the distro. - since Stormy (GNOME Foundation Executive Director) and Paul (another GNOME board person) were there, we discussed Foundation stuff. - helped with some internal Novell process (keeping this explicitly vague since I'm not sure it should be public ;-)) What I'll be doing this week: - between vacation day to come back and holiday in France, I'm actually only working today (at least, officially ;-)) - the plan is to catch up with mails and recent changes, and to investigate why the GNOME livecd is slow to start. - I'm also giving lots of love to the GNOME team that rocked while I was away.

maybe some tasks for the boosters
by S.Kemter 12 May '10

12 May '10

Hi, I had yesterday a little phone conversation with michl because I have some things for they I need help. * FrOSCon, openSUSE would be there with a booth Jan and me make that like last year. But the organizers offer project rooms, that mean we can have a room and can make our own programm in it. We should use that opportunity and make some workshops maybe using OBS and such stuff in it. But we have the decision for that to make in few days because the call ends next week. * Launch Party Vienna, as u know miska and prusnak was with me on Linuxwochen in Vienna last week. We made a great success there, one of the points is the organizers of the event, the quintessenz make us again a Launch Party. Last Launch Party was not so good because we have only "kids" as ambassadors in Vienna. So the talk was no so good. They made another offer to help founding a local user group there and host this group in the rooms they have an Museumsquartier, Debianna and Ubuntu Vienna meets there too. The Launch Party would be a good possibility to found such a group but for this they have to be better as the last, they need a speaker (german languaged). * FrOSCamp after the decission for the date for oSC is made, its possible to go to that event in Zurich. I asked long time ago on project/marketing for help but noone was/is there for help. Maybe the boosters can help me again? br gnokii -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Others are blocked by their existing responsibilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standup Every squad has to stand up and tell the others what they did do in the last sprint, what they are planning to do in the next sprint and what blocks them currently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Wiki squad ** lots of customisations, Rlihm to try to merge upstream. ** Fluid theme is not fixed width, which is a good thing ** Some elements allow resize below a minimum width that is narrower than the text they contain. ** Top menu bar links jump down off their background when the browser is shrunk horizontally below some limit (eg on netbooks) ** Searching for help with further theme customisations, for portals, portal content, and migration. KDE, GNOME boosters to talk to sub-communities like Desktop/KDE to move their portal pages, eg template changes and namespace changes of page paths. Henne has a migration guide which can be used by communities to do their own migration. * Lizards.opensuse.org, News.opensuse.org theming Rlihm has Bento theme ready for Wordpress, tested locally but needs testing on Novell servers, needs access from Provo guys to fix his login.

Umbrella, ella, ella, yeah, yeah
by Pavol Rusnak 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hi all! We're nearly at the end of Umbrella sprint. I have some claritification questions, though. People who I think will know the answer are in brackets, but others can of course respond as well. We decided that {build,software,wiki,planet}.o.o theming will be the official part of the sprint * planet was redesigned by Pascal (clap!, clap!, clap!) * it seems that wiki is already using bento theme as default, great too! * when we'll deploy stage version of software.o.o as default or what is blocking from it ? (coolo) * what is the state of bento webui for OBS? last time I heard we're waiting for ACK from adrian... (coolo) We declared that {news,lizards,spotlight}.o.o will be themed later, as a part of another sprint, because bento-wordpress theme is not ready for primetime yet. * what is the state of the theme? how can we test or help? (rlihm) Once these questions are answered, we should write a blogpost that will summarize the sprint and the results of it. Are there any volunteers? If not, I can try to recap it, but I'll be busy with LinuxWochen until end of the week. -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Changes in Staff
by Klaas Freitag 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hi, we have two changes in the staffing of the Boosters Team: Petr Uzel is changing to the L3/Maintenance Packagers team, they are quite flooded with work and Petr wanted to dig deeper into code, packaging and bug fixing. Although we are sorry to let him go I wish him all the best! Petr, it was really fun to work with you, we hope you stay around at openSUSE and good luck - have a lot of fun! The other change is an exchange of people: Marcus Rückert better known as Darix changes his place with Christopher Hofmann in the Services Team and Christopher joins the Boosters. That reflects better what both do. I am confident that Darix will continue with openSUSE work like he always did. Anyway, thanks Darix for your work for the Thirsty Thirteen so far :) And here is a warm welcome for Christopher, nice to have you with us - and note that you have to be thirsty for two! regards, Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
