Hi all! A few minutes ago I announced openSUSE Connect on my blog[1]. It is an application which will be a replacement for existing users.o.o, but will also provide extra features known from Fedora Account System or Launchpad (but not limited to these of course!). Read the post and you are more than welcome to help us! :-) The current work-in-progress instance runs on: http://connect.opensuse.org/ [1] http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/2010/03/announcing-connect/ -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Brothers, I did further drive the new wiki instance with template generation, documentation etc. Quite a few people jumped in and this is nicely going forward. I also helped AJ to prepare for some openSUSE review with our management which was due. I tried to gather all FOSDEM videos but failed due to missing GNOME/KDE videos, will try next week again. Talked to Marko about LinuxTag 2010 program and our contributions to it, looks like most of the talks are in. Talked to Jos and the KDE on win people about a sprint where we could gather knowledge from them about building on windows. I of course also participated in the various usual meetings including running one project and one board meeting and worked on my bugs and features. I plan to meet up with the squad and talk about the Portal:Development content and layout. Gather FOSDEM videos and finalize the LT2010 schedule. Judging from the attendance in the last opensuse meetings i also i need to work some more on the reminder setup on lists and Klaas and me want to have mail setup for news.o.o so we can send out posts. I also want to help Vincente to drive our GSOC participation as i have some ideas. I'm blocked by nothing and completely energized by my awesome 10 year party! Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE. Everybody has a plan, until they get hit. - Mike Tyson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[GREEN] - KDE 4.3.5 online update, checked bugreports for easy stuff and fixes from upstream, tested, found blocking issues, fixed those, found KUpdateApplet handles very poorly an update with so many packages (bnc#580529), debugged and worked around the PackageKit problem with Thomas Goettlicher during Tokamak4, the updates were out before I got back from Tokamak to test the whole update again, turns out the fix doesn't get activated soon enough because of another KUpdateApplet/PackageKit problem, grmbl - attended Tokamak4: - talked to Plasma people about their relations with the window manager, discussed various problems, they are actually nice people and willing to do things the right way :) - discussion about Shaman, which is something that can become KDE's API and tools for package management (like PackageKit, but with nice stable API and without the nightmares); this would allow having an upstream solution for KUpdateApplet and on-demand installation of various packages like codecs, unfortunately too late for 11.3 - discussions about the activities concepts for KDE4 - since the new laptop I have has a fingerprint reader, found time to fix the bad problems with KDE's support for it (bnc#533189) - examining having 11.3 do simple on-demand of extra packages like codecs; it actually appears that using just zypper+yast2 and a reasonably small amount of code could be a nice and lawyer-friendly solution for 11.3 until hopefully Shaman takes care of this - L3 bnc #568154 - kiosktool and kiosk support in general was in a rather bad shape in KDE 4.1 and at least kiosktool still is even now - this should get fixed for enterprise stuff, but most probably requires some amount of work :-/ - various gcc4.5 related fixes, SP1 fixes - I guess it's time to start advertising kde-obs-generator to the more brave public - KDE IRC meeting -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
