[amber] - our openSUSE infrastructure suffers from a self made DoS. Our kernels provide tons and tons of symbols and as such the meta data of our 11.2 update channel grew in just a couple of months larger than all other update channels combined. As meta data is exclusively provided by our main download.opensuse.org, we suffer a huge performance drop whenever we release updates. Note how often we reach the max of 400: http://download.opensuse.org/apachestats/images/workers-month.png We check options how to reduce this problem. [green] - sorted out factory build failures, tons of those - more work on bentoo port [this week] - Trying to get M3 out, my hope is low though with the current state of mono et al ;( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Week report 2010#8
by Vincent Untz 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

What I did last week: - GNOME 2.29.91: + released my tarballs + packaged a bunch of updates, with Magnus and Dominique doing a good work too - GNOME Usability hackfest: + lost one day of my life in a airport (strike + empty battery after one hour -- I didn't have the right charger :/) + saw what people were working on in the first few days of the hackfest + interesting discussions about the control center shell, nautilus, how to help designers work, accessibility, empathy, etc. + chatted about various other GNOME topics + got back with a better idea of how I should work for GNOME 3; but worried that I won't have time :/ + I'll blog about the hackfest today; some reports can be found already on http://live.gnome.org/Hackfests - watched some curling. I love it! What I plan this week: - catch up with Factory (probably need to fix various packages) - mails, mails, mails - publish a test git repo for the xdg specs, for review - find a way to have more than 24 hours in a day. Or maybe to travel in time. Or to freeze time.

Re: bento hackathon
by S.Kemter 26 Feb '10

Hi, yesterday Kalman from Hungary wrote a mail to the marketing-list and showed his new http://opensuse.hu project. I think that guy has some potential for doing web development. I had a little conversation with henne about it, we have the same opinion. The work that such ppl as Kalman do is good but its outside the project. Think there are a lot of ppl out there interested to help with bento. Somebody already has written that to the Art-Team pages in the wiki. So there are ppl there that are interested but checking out to sources and sending their ideas to an anonym mailing list is not their thing. They are afraid of that. Its always easier to talk someone directly as to an anonym list. I think a little hackfest for that could be helpful to integrate what ppl want for bento. I would call it a hackaton and set it up on a weekend so that all that have a job can participate in it. What do you think about it? br gnokii -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

25 Feb '10

Hi, I added the current state of the bento theme[1] to our wiki staging server [2]. It can be set in Preferences->Skins. There are some issues to solve, I think we need a much wider content area. Greetings [1] http://gitorious.org/opensuse/webdesign/trees/master/design_concept/theme_o… [2] http://wikistage.opensuse.org/Test?useskin=bento -- Thomas Schmidt (tschmidt [at] suse.de) SUSE Linux Products GmbH :: Research & Development :: Tools "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

- Bug: bnc546583. * user complained that psmouse.resolution option is no longer working on SLE-11, claimed it used to work in SLES10.

Week report 2010#7
by Vincent Untz 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

What I did last week: - lot of freedesktop.org action: + reviewed all outstanding cups-pk-helper patches, fixed various issues, and released 0.1.0. And I even blogged about it for the first time. + did a first test import of freedesktop.org specs in a git repo. Worked quite well; just need to know which specs to import. Mailed xdg about it, but the thread quickly moved to another topic :/ + migrated desktop-file-utils from cvs to git. But I forgot one step so I'm trying to get the git repo reinitialized. Also hacked on it to release a new version -- the first one since 2008. - investigated removal of old PolicyKit from 11.3: https://features.opensuse.org/309034 - upstream attributes in OBS: + optimized things a bit (set all attributes at once when we can, instead of doing multiple requests) + fixed an annoying bug that was causing the python-smbc attributes to be set every few hours - GNOME Foundation Board: meeting, mails, fun. - Moblin in openSUSE: worked on the plan with various other people, and started doing the work on Friday, but it will take more time that I was hoping :/ What I plan this week: - GNOME 2.29.91: + release tarballs (done yesterday) + packaging/reviewing of submissions (ongoing) - GNOME Hackfest: I'm attending a usability hackfest in London from Wednesday to Friday: http://live.gnome.org/UsabilityProject/London2010 Or at least, I'm supposed to attend: there's a strike this week in airports. I guess I'll see tomorrow how it goes.
