Egbert's Week 28
by Egbert Eich 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Egbert's Week 28 ================ - Prepared for SUSE Labs Conference - Attended SUSE Labs Conference * Personal highlights: - Bottomley's talk about the (brokenness of the) Android Project. - Michael Mats' talk about gdb scripting in Python. - Pasky's talk about GPGPU programming. - Jean Delavre's talk about the I2C stack in the kernel. - Honza's talk about link time optimization. - Klaus Kaempf's BoF on 'Developing for the Web': also his style of running this BoF was remarkable. * Tried to lure more people into giving talks at the openSUSE conference. * Held a BoF on openSUSE and the ongoing strategy discussion - Many Labs people and Novell Linux-PMs don't have much insight what's going on in openSUSE. - Message from the Labs people: Strategy for the Boosters Team should be: 'Empower Developers' ie identify and remove remaining obstacles that make Contributors look like second class citizens compared to people who are on a Novell payroll. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week report 2010#28
by Vincent Untz 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

What I did last week? - reviewed a few openSUSE membership applications, and chatted with Pavol to better understand the lack of sync between applications in users.o.o and our system to approve/reject memberships in retro - worked on a few maintenance updates for 11.3, and reviewed new GNOME bugs after the release. Nothing really critical appeared, so I guess it's not too bad. - handled a security bug (helped a tiny bit upstream, and did the openSUSE side) - chatted with a few people about a desktop track at Linux Plumbers Conf, need to push people to submit proposals. - populated GNOME:STABLE:2.30, updated it, published it and asked for testers (available for both 11.2 and 11.3) - looked at Dominique's branch for GNOME:Factory. Not completely ready yet, but it will be fun to review all his changes at once :-) - participated to my last conf call for the GNOME Foundation Board; also had a GNOME Advisory Board meeting - enjoyed Bastille day with some quiet time What I will do this week? - blog about 11.3 - standup meeting :-) - make some noise about the openSUSE conf - push people to submit proposals for the Linux Plumbers Conf - prepare GUADEC (talk, meetings) - interview the bidders for Desktop Summit 2011, and help decide on what's the best location - work on GNOME roadmap Cheers, 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

Don't forget to update the Boosted gallery
by Vincent Untz 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi, Everything is in the title ;-) I was looking at it because it was mentioned in some news, and the gallery is not up-to-date, I think. I added linuxtag and the wiki migration, but I'm sure there are some missing stamps in there!
