Hey, Sorry, I'm late :/ What I did two weeks ago: + went to Nürnberg: - good to see people again - managed to beat Klaas at FIFA. Once. And then he crushed me. - a few meetings, including a governance one with the board + got annoyed by some thread on some internal mailing list, trying to help people understand how to properly be part of openSUSE. + openSUSE Conference: - prepared my various talks/BoF and delivered them (two talks, a keynote, and a BoF, iirc) - lots of discussion about lots of topics with lots of people - had a good chat with Jürgen, Ciaran and Dominique about how to make it easier to install codecs, while still staying on the safe side legal-wise. - chatted with some GNOME upstream people and got a better understanding of what people are afraid of with the moduleset reorganization proposed by the release team. - had a deeper look at some changes proposed by Stanislav for defining default MIME handlers. - planned (or well, listened to discussion about plans of) plymouth integration, with Rémy, Nelson and Frédéric. - used Pavol's brain to see how we can move closer to upstream rpm packaging practices - discussion about planning App Store/Software Center/etc. What I did last week: + attended Ubuntu Developer Summit: - it quickly became challenging (first hour: "we'll use Unity instead of GNOME Shell by default") - used most of the week to discuss how we can improve the Canonical/GNOME relationship, talking with many people on what's wrong upstream and suggesting some changes on their side - very good discussion about Software Center and how to integrate some social things in there. . Software Center developers are willing to have a PackageKit backend, and to enable the use of a app-install database. This should make it much less Debian-centric. . Told them about the Open Collaboration specification, and they're considering it. . Totally willing to work together whenever possible. - more discussion about the upstream moduleset reorganization. People were positive about it, although not all of them were aware of it. - found another area of collaboration (with Ubuntu and Debian): shared (and meaningful) package descriptions. But we didn't have time to really discuss it; we just agreed that it should be done. - got buy-in from Ubuntu on the default MIME handler changes proposed by Stanislav. - got an update on the upstream GTK+ plans, and now have to find a way for GNOME to accomodate them... - chatted with Dan Williams (from RH) about NetworkManager a bit, and convinced him a NEWS file would be helpful :-) + Generally speaking, UDS was harder than expected because of their switch to Unity, but it was definitely useful, if only for the Software Center discussion. What I'm doing this week: + getting ill :/ + Linux Plumbers Conf + Boston Summit this week-end Vincent -- 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

- what is already done: * dashboard with customizable widgets * user profiles (+vcards +business cards) * groups (with multiple admins/moderators) * following (similar to twitter) + activity streams * voting/polls * events (although we would like to have better implementation) * global search * imported all users from users.o.o (around ~10000) * customizable REST API * iChain login (not yet functional see below) * applied css style on most of the components - what we've worked on since the Conference: * updated Elgg from 1.7.1 to 1.7.4 * LDAP export - every change gets propagated to LDAP server - for use with OBS and possible other services * Build Trust - every user can give "Trust" to another user (-5 .. +5 atm) - once we have this graph we can compute global Trust (similarily to Pagerank algorhitm) - this trust will be used by OBS - what still needs to be done * LDAP handles just users, not their affiliations to groups * we are waiting for iChain instance setup - without that iChain login does not work - we can't go live before that * theme is not applied everywhere - see tickets in retro - possibly other places as well -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9 prusnak[at]opensuse.org Czech Republic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Egbert's Week 43
by Egbert Eich 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

[RED] - BNC #637126: made clear that I will develop and provide critical fixes for X Window System and graphics driver stack related issues, but that it is not my charter to serve as a support contact for issues in these areas inside Novell and/or for technical partners as there are people dedicated to support available. [GREEN] - Investigated how to add features to Connect which I need for openFATE. - Took the opportunity to learn PHP, some MySQL. - Argued with Lubos regarding the best way to fix BNC#638305 (L3). This is really a long standing issue: when a keyboard grab is active (in a popup or pulldown) X doesn't accept any other application to grab the keyboard. Thus many operations which require grabs cannot be performed. Changing this within X will affect the X core protocol - which is to be avoided. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[amber] - Unfortunately my Milestone3 plans collide with bavarian school breaks - that are mapped 1:1 to Kindergarten closed. This means I will have to do some part time mirror schubsing while I'm on a trip without lan. I intend to use my blackberry connection for that, which may result in cellphone costs - I think I have 29MB included and I'm not sure if this will be enough. [green] - spent a lot of time debugging chkproc bug with werner - put some time into testing and understanding systemd, also getting to know the #systemd guys better - investigated preload being broken in factory - maintained factory, reviewing submits and changes - spent some time discussing delta rpms in factory (Factory creates delta rpms now for every build, but does not publish them) - 1:1 performance thingy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

[green] - should have spent the week in bed, but... - gave a talk and listened to about a dozen talks and bofs - met a lot of people and discussed several topics - and I think we should take part in fedora conferences more often to spread our stuff ;) - had a lot of fun serving dishes, even though I had to give in to my body too soon - experimented with a "11.3 universe" in linking all packages from all projects that have 11.3 repos into one repo (avoiding duplicates) and got 4370 packages not in 11.3 built cleanly against 11.3 - learned after that aggregates would have been easier to do :) - basically _the_ topic of the conference for me: more or less packages in factory, no final answer ;( - my talk wasn't exactly a desaster, but I never saw a more silent audience. If this was due to my weak voice or the lack of interest I don't know ;( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Comments and thanks for the conference
by Michael 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello folks, thanks for doing a great job to all boosters and others involved in making last week's conference a big success. If you're wondering what good came out of it, here's an example: I learned a lot and am more motivated to do OpeSUSE-specific things. At my party yesterday I was pleasently surprised when all TEN OpenSUSE DVDs (from the conference) were taken by friends. They went like hotcakes, and these are serious telecom engineers and server developers who I've worked with. Other friends are less technical Win32 users, but were also openly interested in trying out the OpenSUSE Live DVD. I'll be coming by Nuernberg sometime soon to get more DVDs (for our next party here in Munich), and have already signed up for the ambassadors mailing list. Thanks again, Michael P.S.: I'm the one at the conference who rudely called Klaas 'Klaus' and the only one who doesn't look like a hacker (I have fashion camouflage.) -- Michael Schloh von Bennewitz http://michael.schloh.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

current state of the openfate sprint
by Thomas Schmidt 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Here is where we are with the openfate sprint: https://features.opensuse.org/preview/ The big things we implemented so far were: - Port to bento design - Switch codebase to latest rails and moved to libxml - Nearly all data is editable in the frontend What's still missing is: - Keeperproxy: proxy all product information (of opensuse products), allow to set all product states proxy all role information, allow to set all roles, This must only happen for the openfate client, Partnerfate must not be concerned by that. @cwh are we there already? - openFATE: - make transitions between product states easier as described on the wiki page[1] - show the notification status of users (stub exists, waiting for hermes api) - automatically set project and productmanagers for opensuse features - combine product and prjmanager prio in the ui - hide evaluation states - be able to remove/edit unsaved comments - partnerfate / webfate: make the codebase able to run in partner / webfate mode so we can deploy everywhere. editable partnercontext fields Wiki page with requests from AJ / openFATE screening team: [1]http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Openfate_screening#New_proposal Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tom [at] opensuse.org) openSUSE Boosters Team "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

Hola, What I did last week: + missed the team meeting :/ I was deep in release management mode... + released GNOME 2.32.0: - handled the release upstream. Even though it was smaller than usual (since a lot of changes were kept in branches for 3.0), it took some time. I released something like 20-25 tarballs myself, and pinged people to fix last-minute issues. - helped integrate 2.32.0 in GNOME:Factory. We had 2.32.0 available before the official release this way, and it was really useful for me to find broken tarballs this way. - created GNOME:STABLE:2.32 for people to go crazy and provide a easy-to-use backport for 11.3. + handled a few security issues. + created a spec-cleaner package at the request of various people. I need to blog about this tool, it's really handy. + filled performance review + updated GNOME patterns after discussion within the GNOME team + helped one upstream maintainer move to openSUSE. Yay! :-) What I plan to do this week: + I thought I could take a break upstream, but the GNOME 3 work is already urgent... So probably a bit of that. + think hard about talks: I have two talks next week at the JDLL, and then two talks and a keynote the week after at the openSUSE conference. + eat a big cake Vincent -- 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

Egbert's Week 37
by Egbert Eich 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

[ This email wasn't sent out due to mailer issues ] Egbert's Week 37 ================ - XDS in Toulouse: The format of XDS has changed from a conference into a group discussion meeting. Very few well prepared talks have been presented, people don't even bother to create slides any more. Slides would give those who cannot participate an idea of what went on. The discussions covered: - input layer: multitouch and gestures - non-root X - how to get DRM back into non-Linux OSes. - review of the development process for the Xserver. - if and which drivers to integrate back into the server. - handling input events in separate threads - this was not held as the presenter didn't return in time from the girl he was chasing. Another presenter was unable to attend at all because his passport has ended up in the laundry. Furthermore I had some discussions about patches I had made recently. - Work on upstreaming some kernel patches that had been made for some enterprise products. This Week: - Spend two days at the tech sessions of Linux Kongress. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Decided to try some fancy flags - this eats up more of my time, but it may help others.

Week reports 2010#36-38

25 Sep '10

Hi, I apparently forgot to send reports for previous weeks, apologies. What I did during week 36: - openSUSE 11.4: - cleanup default install of GNOME (broken menu, split packages like gnome-search-tool) - fix important bugs in M1 (panel not visible, main menu missing, etc.) - lots of packaging update with pkgconfig() fun to add some GNOME 3 libraries to update gnome-shell - investigate a replacement for gnomesu, mostly focusing on gksu-polkit and pkexec. This is for https://features.opensuse.org/305640. I need feedback from the security team to know what's the best way forward, though. - openSUSE: - openSUSE conference meeting - wrote a pdiff plugin for osc: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2010-09/msg00087.html - upstream: - figured out who goes to the preparation meeting for the Desktop Summit at the end of the month. Happy it's not me - released new version of desktop-file-utils What I did during week 37: - openSUSE 11.4: - updated GNOME to 2.31.92 - openSUSE: - review GNOME legal & security bugs - wrote a changetobranch plugin for osc. Need to send a mail about it, but it's a convenience plugin for when a package is added to Factory, and you need to create a real branch for it. - interview with Henne about openSUSE Conference: http://news.opensuse.org/2010/09/15/osc2010-sneak-peaks-vincent-untz-explai… - GNOME team meeting - review openSUSE board rules, with AJ - openFATE: - started digging in the code again, but quickly stopped because of item below - upstream: - had a nightmare week there: GNOME 2.31.92 more or less destroyed the second half of the week, with many, many build issues. But I finally got it done on Saturday night... - misc: - went to Paris, and discussed a lot with people there, especially with Frédéric Crozat. - went to the doctor for a work visit, and I can work! - got invited to talk about GNOME (and openSUSE!) at the Ubuntu 10.10 Party in Toulouse - pinged people for the desktop track at the linux plumbers conf What I did during week 38: - openSUSE 11.4: - updated many packages - dealt with the 2.31.92 issues that I had left over the week before - fixed a few issues in GNOME to get a polished experience - pushed tons of packages for milestone 2 - openSUSE: - blogged about the openSUSE conference, and talked to various people about it - mail the GNOME team about new packages that got in, and what we can do next - learn more about patterns, to hopefully improve the GNOME ones later - upstream: - wrote a new draft for the GNOME moduleset reorganization. Difficult topic. - GNOME release team meeting - misc: - prepared my trips in October/November Vincent -- 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

Junior Job sprint
by Michael Loeffler 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Moin, I just checked in retro the sprint for Junior Jobs and like to know what the current status is. The Junior Jobs are imo very important to give a simple point of entry for anyone wanting to contribute. Imo Junior Jobs should cover: - bugs which are simple to solve - packages for which newer versions are available - packages/applications to be tested - features to work on - docu to be updated or newly written - maintenance And all of that of course should have some documentation so people can learn themselves how to do a task. For the docu part mostly the correct links are needed on the How to participate page [1] I'm poking you as we have the request of Novell India that they will have in a few months many IT students doing the NCLP and are requested by their universities to do some more work on Linux afterwards and openSUSE may take advantage out of this and offer them simple work to start with. And with some luck some of the student stay longer with us. If needed we may have an IRC meeting or as pretty many of you guys are in Nürnberg we meet face to face.

- I've decided to join the OOo team. They had been trying to get me for quite some time and I've eventually concluded that it fits better my skill set than this team and I hope I free up a slot for somebody who'll do better work here than me. I will still try to help the openSUSE KDE team as time and motivation permit, but quite frankly it's been a bumpy ride since the KDE4.0 times for many reasons and I could use doing some pure C++ hacking for some time. - Worked on preparing for my openSUSE conference talks, most importantly the obs generator. - I've run by chance into http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker , a tool that can check ABI stability between two versions of libraries. According to http://linuxtesting.org/upstream-tracker/ many libraries that claim ABI stability actually screw up from time to time, probably because nobody actually bothers to repeatedly check. Since the build service is such a nice tool that can automate or ease tasks, I tested the tool a bit and I have a setup in home:llunak:abi:kde that can be used quite easily to check packages before each new release. I think upstreams might be interested in this. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Meego sprint?
by Vincent Untz 20 Sep '10

Hi, I don't know when people started talking about getting Moblin, and then Meego in openSUSE, but it still hasn't happened. Andrew is working on this, but some people need to help him. Else, I'm afraid we'll release 11.4 in the same state. Would it make sense to have one sprint on Meego? Do we have hardware that we could use for that?
