16 Feb '11

Hi. Last weeked on FOSDEM. Stuck all the time in ine of the crossdistro devrooms making and editing videos. Monday & Tuesday compensation timeoff. Spend Wednesday to Friday mostly with reworking some videos that were in a bad quality after my first transcoding. Ordered playlists on opensuse.blip.tv ans Youtube according to the official schedule on the FOSDEM page. Debvideo guys asked to mirror the videos. They were asking about the license of the videos. Since I declared most of them als CC on blip.tv I'd suggest to make that the official license for all the videos. Objections? Packaged synergy 1.3.6 appeared end of January 2011. Submitting to the appropriate devel project after some testing. Held first brainstorming meeting about the Nuremberg 11.4 release party. Raw outline: - date: Wed, March 16th 2011 (the week after release) - in Café Artefakt in central Nuremberg, near the trainstation - since there is no budget from Novell/SUSE side attendees have to pay for food/drinks - openSUSE beer "Old Toad" is sold for 1€ - try to get some entertainment: maybe live music or a DJ (to be coordinated) Christopher -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

replacement for google analytics
by Thomas Schmidt 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi, some time ago, we tracked our *.opensuse.org pages with google analytics. We dropped this feature for various reasons now, but it would be nice to have an alternative for our website statistics. I've setup a test instance of piwik[1] at: https://features.opensuse.org/piwik/index.php Read-only username: boosters, password: opensuse This instance is tracking only openfate at the moment. What do you think of it, should we use it for all our sites and set it up in our infrastructure?

Next Milestone
by Henne Vogelsang 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hey Guys, I just talked to everybody about the team meeting last Monday, the new milestone and the kick-off tomorrow. The result is that I really don't want us to abandon the connect milestone yet. We sat down and worked out a plan of what connect misses until its usable by everyday openSUSE user. For that we have created around 30 stories in retro. From these stories we have finished a third, are active one another third and have done nothing on the last third. So instead of starting the next milestone I want us to work on the 20 stories that are still open and finish this milestone. http://retro.opensuse.org/projects/boosters-work/milestones/12/sprints/25/s… Here is how I want to spread those stories: Henne: Frontpage Stuff (Sign Up form, About and Activity River) Data migration from news.o.o Announcement Michal: My Bugs Widget My Packages widget Pavol: Polish Poll Results IRC Cloaks Email Aliases Klaas: Joining a group should trigger events Tom: Make navigation more prominent and useful Rework group page Default user widgets Kill: Global project activity of friends widget My News Article queue Stuff around me widget Coolo, Vincent, Will and Christopher should focus on their current projects like the driver build and 11.4. Robert is away. So if you don't have your ticket yet go to retro and take them. After we have finished those I organize the kick-off for the next milestone. Questions?

In preparation of the hackweek next week I played around with freepascal and found out that it will most likely not help me. Did also some minor other things like writing a small script for easily calling 'find' with excluding a set of directories and played around with git to finally find out som best practices.

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

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...

[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.

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

FOSDEM session proposal
by Jos Poortvliet 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Following the Amazing Michal, I decided to also send in a proposal. It is however my usual stuff, not sure if it is fitting, so please comment (henne esp): Amazing openSUSE openSUSE has developed both great infrastructure technology and a powerful enduser product; where is it going now? Over 5 years ago Novell decided to turn their new asset, SuSE Linux GmbH into a community distribution. It was a long and laborious process but since almost 2 years now the development processes have been opened up to the community. We now speak of openSUSE, a community which is now searching for it's direction. The project has state-of-the-art infrastructure at its disposal and develops a modern, stable and powerful linux distribution. Meanwhile, communication and marketing are it's weak points - innovative technologies like the openSUSE Build Service and SUSE Studio do not get the exposure they deserve. In this talk an overview is given of openSUSE's history, the developments in the community and the latest openSUSE technology is presented.

FOSDEM session proposal

Collaboration from the packagers point of view. Starts with a short talk. General talk about what boring stuff we are doing during packaging, where is work duplicated and some proposals about how it can work in the ideal world. Talk will mention sharing downstream patches, package names unification/mapping, Lubos's obs-generator and OpenEmbedded as an example of possible ultimate goal. Hopefully the rest of the session would be discussion around these topics with interested people. I already had some session about bitbake and OpenEmbedded on openSUSE Conference in 2009 and discussion took so long that we didn't get to other topics that I wanted to speak about. So it would be more lowlevel than talk that henne pointed out. -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz
