[GREEN] - implemented support for on-demand package instalation for 11.3, currently for installing mp3 support in Amarok, debuginfo for crashes and applications when there's none to open a specific mimetype (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2010-03/msg00138.html) It's basically done and usable, but needs various small tweaks and fixes and mainly I now need to run it past legal and find a reasonable compromise between being good enough for legal and being still useful. - bnc#584223 (kdm root exploit) - helped to fix few problems in kde-apps.org's OBS integration - various fixes and improvements for kde-obs-generator - L3:bnc#568154 (kiosktool) - KDE IRC meeting -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[amber] - my laptop broke down ;( [green] - spent quite some time trying to get the quiz done. Ron was right with less than 2 hours though, it was worth it I'm sure - finished the git merge - the stage repo is now obsolete, everything is developed in master branch - learned about 960 in detail - not just copying & pasting Robert's examples ;) - reviewed more changes in devel projects, changed the status page to optionally filter out version informations (to see the forrest) - http://build.opensuse.org/stage is now browsable without login - please report any dead link when not logged in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Boosters Standup 2010-03-16
by Henne Vogelsang 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This sprint was running from March 2nd to March 16th. Its was a rather quiet sprint. The three milestones progressed nicely but nothing to spectacular. Also it was a rather dull week on the general side of things around our team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Miscellaneous Topics Things that came up. Something everybody should be aware of. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11.3 Release Parties. In mid of July we should make something happen in Prague and Nürnberg. Internal Stuff: IWM Training, Development plans. Yadda Yadda Yadda LinuxTag 2010 hack-sessions. We're still looking for topics around spontaneous 1-5 people hack sessions we can hold at Linuxtag. So far we have "Creating KDE Plasmoids" and "Packaging with KDE-OBS-Generator". We need more topics! The general idea is to take 5 folding chairs, your Laptop, (maybe a small projector) and up to five people to the hallway and teach them to do some contributor task. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standup Every squad has to stand up and tell the others what they did do in the last sprint, what they are planing to do in the next sprint and what blocks them currently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Developer Documentation Squad We did start to migrate content from the old wiki instance. We took Portal:Development as base and decided what should be on there and what should be not. In the end 3 big sub-topics emerged (Projects, Packaging, Distro creation) and we started to migrate things. We plan to continue to do this and while at it improve the transition plan and the wiki documentation. We are blocked by nothing. * Umbrella squad We did get a green light from EM for adapting iChain login dialogs to Bento. We merged /search subpage into the main page (deployed at http://software.opensuse.org/stage/) and investigated search engines where datapark is the winner so we started packaging it in the OBS. We also did some OBS webui 2.0 brainstorming and improvements to Bento's CSS and HTML. We plan to get the "create account", "modify details" pages from EM and theme them as well. And then make fuss about our XEN hosting solution. We are blocked by nothing. * openFATE squad We did setup our project in retrospectiva. Made a learning initiative about openFATE including code review and a couple of irc meetings to learn about FATE in general and openFATE in particular. So for instance what can be done in the webclient and what can be done in the keeper-proxy. We also worked on keeper-proxy to implement the missing part to be able to change the status of features. Its not yet deployed and needs some more testing. We plan to continue to test the keeper-proxy and add features to the openfate client. We also plan to start to work on notification. We are currently blocked by nothing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Access to reto.o.o

Morning All, I was wondering if someone could clarify who/how people/teams can use retro.o.o. Basically is it open to all openSUSE teams, and if so are there any procedures that one must follow. If not are there any plans for doing so? Many thanks, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin PGP: 0x3A36312F openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.opensuse.org

Hi. I did participate in the usual meetings including running the openSUSE Project and Board meetings. Talked with Tom about the Portal:Development content and the namespace strategy for wiki.o.o. We are on the same page now and Tom already started to migrate pages. Worked on the M3 announcement with James some more. Participated a bit in the Board strategy meetings again. Setup our office to be a workable place again instead of garbage dump. Took care of some issues on the mailinglists. I plan to migrate content to wiki.o.o. Run the boosters meeting. Finally announce M3. Participate in the strategy meetings if i can make it. I'm currently blocked by nothing. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Plan Early...

I've just added the first two events for the openSUSE 11.3 Launch as suggested by Klaas for Nuernberg and Prague: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_11.3_Launch_Party_Locations So far I think it's important to state that we have the launch events - let's discuss details in a couple of weeks. But if any of you likes to plan early, go ahead...
