tube.opensuse.org and visibility of what we have!
by Jos Poortvliet 22 Jan '11

again and again I find little openSUSE gems everywhere. Manu told us about openSUSE concept, now there is tube.opensuse.org with promo video's!!! We really seem to suck at giving such things visibility. Manu, our new website should have a link to that video site too! Another thing I was thinking about - giving our ambassadors some visibility. We ask ambassadors to create an event report if they have gone and do something cool for openSUSE. Can we have those reports show up at the ambassador's personal page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors_list and the event site itself: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors_events#2011 and in a stream on the openSUSE home page? That way, each ambassador builds up a track record of where he/she's been going on their own homepage; and we can find out the results of an event on our event page's; and we can show the world what we do by aggregating them on our homepage. Somehow, each report should probably end up on planet too. Any ideas on how to do all that as easy and automated as possible? Something with openSUSE connect maybe? If an ambassador could enter his event report & the other ambassadors who were there in one place which then distributes it to a RSS feed for the homepage & planet as well as back to the ambassador's private page, that would rock...

Some of my plugins are available here: http://github.com/cash I'll be monitoring this mailing list and am also available for providing guidance on using Elgg. If you have any feedback on it, you can also shoot it my way.

[RED] [AMBER] - too many unpleasant discussions. We get a lot of support for openSUSE from within the company, but often it is hard to explain which support is needed. - too little progress with the foundation process IMHO [GREEN] - worked a bit on the connect hermes widget. - reviewed the trademark guidelines and gave some feedback - gave some input for the foundation wiki list - had vuntz bringing me to the good path with openvpn, works again in my homeoffice. Some more admin stuff there. - people management - spend a lot of time to talk to people about an upcoming announcement.

Week report 2011#2
by Vincent Untz 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

Hi, What I did last week: + openSUSE: - fix various important or visible bugs in Factory (and an issue in a 11.2 update). - looked at some issues that are important for the City of Largo (who's using openSUSE). Asked for help to some people, and published packages that can be tested. - entered panic mode to push everything to Factory for next milestone, without breaking too many things (still some issues to fix :/). - attended the board meeting. - attended a meeting to improve a11y support in openSUSE. - took some time to ask questions to the board candidates. - got the Sonar theme (the GNOME theme we use in openSUSE) imported in git -- sources were not available before. + upstream: - investigate the gimp security issue that was reported at the beginning of the month and that, apparently, wasn't forwarded upstream by any downstream. - released GNOME 2.91.5. - released new versions of desktop-file-utils and cups-pk-helper; nothing major there. - GNOME release team meeting. + misc: - various last-minute organization bits for the app installer meeting. - booked travel for FOSDEM. What I will do this week: - last-minute changes that I'd love to get in milestone 6 - app installer + bretzn meetings in NUE -- 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
