openSUSE versioning scheme
by Pavol Rusnak 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi! This has been discussed somehow but without any conclusion. Current versioning scheme is confusing and does not make sense (now that we are not syncing releases with SLE). If we are willing to change this we should come up with some proposals and let the community decide. Ideas? I came up with this one: name the next release openSUSE 12 (not 12.0) and continue normally (13, 14). Also make the codenames (present in /etc/issue atm) more prominent and also market them (like openSUSE 12 Moss). -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9 prusnak[at]opensuse.org Czech Republic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Maintenance Team
by Klaas Freitag 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi Michal and Pavol, unfortunately nobody was volunteering so far for the participation in the openSUSE Maintenance Team. I would like to assign the two of you to take that action item. We have to help the Maintenance Dep. to bring the maintenance for openSUSE into the community. The details are, AFAIK, still open and subject of discussion. Please meet with Dirk Mueller and work out with him how to actively boost the openSUSE Maintenance in the community. I am sorry that I have to delegate that this way, but there is no other choice. regards, Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week report 2010#26
by Vincent Untz 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

What I did last week: - participated in the 1:1 GNOME Advisory Board meeting for Novell - released a few tarballs for GNOME 2.31.4 - pushed a few more fixes for openSUSE 11.3, and tried to work on a few others; replied to GNOME-related issues on mailing lists and made sure I was aware of the latest bugs reported against GNOME for 11.3. - published (but haven't announce yet) the GNOME Foundation policy on copyright assignments. Work on this was mostly done by Bradley Kuhn and Michael Meeks: http://live.gnome.org/CopyrightAssignment - helped Andreas put more content in the 11.3 product highlights for GNOME: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Product_highlights_11.3#GNOME_Desktop - had to deal with various last-minute organization issues for GUADEC (from the Novell side, not from the GNOME side). That lead me to annoy Robert to get an ad for the openSUSE conference. - created the gsettings-desktop-schemas module upstream: this is something that was needed for some time to help with the migration from GConf to GSettings; it contains settings shared by various applications (or desktop-wide settings, if you prefer): http://git.gnome.org/browse/gsettings-desktop-schemas/ - committed some changes upstream to help with GNOME 3: + made gnome-session build against gtk+ 3 + create a gtk+ 3 version of libgweather that should be parallel-installable with the old one + made patches to kill the old GnomeDesktopItem API from gnome-desktop + various smaller fixes - started looking at the screencasting options to do a GNOME 3 screencast, but wasn't very happy with the things I quickly played with so far; will continue this. - chatted a bit about the maintenance team, and subscribed to the maintenance mailing list. - did various administrative work. What has been blocking/annoying me: - I was not able to successfully build the new gnome-keyring-sharp, and apparently nobody knows what's the right way to fix this: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2010-07/msg00002.html This means we're shipping with a known crasher: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=618561 and more generally, no mono app can use the keyring. - didn't have time to follow the discussions on opensuse-project (at least the strategy one) What I'll be doing this week: - catch up with strategy discussion - I'm going to RMLL from Wednesday to Saturday. That's the biggest community event in France: http://2010.rmll.info/ I'll be delivering a talk about contributing to openSUSE and another one about GNOME 3. I'll also help on a booth shared with various distributions (michl sent me some goodies) - will probably prepare my talks (based on the talks I co-delivered at LinuxTag) - more screencast investigation fun 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
