openSUSE versioning scheme
by Pavol Rusnak 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi! This has been discussed somehow but without any conclusion. Current versioning scheme is confusing and does not make sense (now that we are not syncing releases with SLE). If we are willing to change this we should come up with some proposals and let the community decide. Ideas? I came up with this one: name the next release openSUSE 12 (not 12.0) and continue normally (13, 14). Also make the codenames (present in /etc/issue atm) more prominent and also market them (like openSUSE 12 Moss). -- 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

Maintenance Team
by Klaas Freitag 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi Michal and Pavol, unfortunately nobody was volunteering so far for the participation in the openSUSE Maintenance Team. I would like to assign the two of you to take that action item. We have to help the Maintenance Dep. to bring the maintenance for openSUSE into the community. The details are, AFAIK, still open and subject of discussion. Please meet with Dirk Mueller and work out with him how to actively boost the openSUSE Maintenance in the community. I am sorry that I have to delegate that this way, but there is no other choice. regards, Klaas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

What I did last week: - participated in the 1:1 GNOME Advisory Board meeting for Novell - released a few tarballs for GNOME 2.31.4 - pushed a few more fixes for openSUSE 11.3, and tried to work on a few others; replied to GNOME-related issues on mailing lists and made sure I was aware of the latest bugs reported against GNOME for 11.3. - published (but haven't announce yet) the GNOME Foundation policy on copyright assignments. Work on this was mostly done by Bradley Kuhn and Michael Meeks: http://live.gnome.org/CopyrightAssignment - helped Andreas put more content in the 11.3 product highlights for GNOME: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Product_highlights_11.3#GNOME_Desktop - had to deal with various last-minute organization issues for GUADEC (from the Novell side, not from the GNOME side). That lead me to annoy Robert to get an ad for the openSUSE conference. - created the gsettings-desktop-schemas module upstream: this is something that was needed for some time to help with the migration from GConf to GSettings; it contains settings shared by various applications (or desktop-wide settings, if you prefer): http://git.gnome.org/browse/gsettings-desktop-schemas/ - committed some changes upstream to help with GNOME 3: + made gnome-session build against gtk+ 3 + create a gtk+ 3 version of libgweather that should be parallel-installable with the old one + made patches to kill the old GnomeDesktopItem API from gnome-desktop + various smaller fixes - started looking at the screencasting options to do a GNOME 3 screencast, but wasn't very happy with the things I quickly played with so far; will continue this. - chatted a bit about the maintenance team, and subscribed to the maintenance mailing list. - did various administrative work. What has been blocking/annoying me: - I was not able to successfully build the new gnome-keyring-sharp, and apparently nobody knows what's the right way to fix this: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2010-07/msg00002.html This means we're shipping with a known crasher: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=618561 and more generally, no mono app can use the keyring. - didn't have time to follow the discussions on opensuse-project (at least the strategy one) What I'll be doing this week: - catch up with strategy discussion - I'm going to RMLL from Wednesday to Saturday. That's the biggest community event in France: http://2010.rmll.info/ I'll be delivering a talk about contributing to openSUSE and another one about GNOME 3. I'll also help on a booth shared with various distributions (michl sent me some goodies) - will probably prepare my talks (based on the talks I co-delivered at LinuxTag) - more screencast investigation fun 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

I'm late, I'm late... Week 23: + had a good chat with Klaas + went to LinuxTag. It was great, and many things happened there. I pushed everything to http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2010/06/30/LinuxTag-2010%3A-Attack-of-the…! + I was happy to come back home with some Geeko. My life is much better now. Week 24: + the main focus was to fix last-minute bugs for 11.3, so I worked on a few of them and help the community work on more + I managed to take a full day to fix the applications menu structure in GNOME, only to realize afterwards that it was too late for RC1. Oh well, it will be in Factory after 11.3 is out. + worked with upstream F-Spot people a bit, and created a project for upstream in the build service: GNOME:Apps:F-Spot. The goal is to let them easily ship packages for their stable and unstable branches, ideally for more than just openSUSE. If anybody wants to help make the packages build for distros != openSUSE, help is welcome. + participated in the strategy discussion Week 25: + kept fixing bugs for 11.3 + had a meeting and many mails exchange to prepare the Novell/openSUSE presence at GUADEC, and shared the knowledge with other people going there. We should have a SUSE Studio Kiosk there, but it's much more complicated than I thought to make this happen... + standup meeting during France's last game ;-) + released GNOME 2.30.2, our last 2.30.x release. This was relatively smooth, which is good since it's a stable release. + hacked some upstream code to get it more 3.0-ready. We're trying to move a lot of code to GTK+ 3, but there's some nasty code in gnome-panel which makes things difficult. Also started thinking about how this will be fun once we start getting GTK+ 3 in openSUSE... + participated in my last GNOME Foundation Board meeting as a board member, and prepared the transition with the new board. I'll still be active there until GUADEC to make sure the transition is smooth (new board officially starts on July 1st, but we want to have a transition until the face-to-face meeting at GUADEC) - posted the GNOME Speaker Guidelines, among other board-related activities: http://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct/SpeakerGuidelines + participated in the strategy discussion What has been blocking/annoying me: + too many important bugs are reported after RC1. This is not normal. My guess is that people are waiting for RC1 to test openSUSE, but it's much too late and it leaves no time to fix bugs. I don't know how we can change this, though :/ What I will work on this week: + GNOME 2.31.4 + last fixes for 11.3 + look at the maintenance team + look if I have everything needed to do a screencast about GNOME Shell to demo that once 11.3 is out 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

Right now the O:F status is a good start, but takes too long to calculate, so it's precached by a script. Not acceptable for user's dashboard. - reworked the api and webui test suite to avoid mocks, that made testing harder.

11.3 release party planning
by Thomas Schmidt 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hi, I did some organization for the release party in Nuremberg today. The current facts are: We will provide barbecue and beer for estimated 60 people. The party will take place in the ex koelbl&kalb area and outside. Ofecher got an offer for the food of 279 Euro (potato salad, sausages, steaks) including a lent grill. For the beer we will need about 5 boxes of franconian beer. Is this ok with our budget? To make the release party a good event, we need some volunteers for: - Giving a presentation of the highlights of 11.3 - doing the barbecue - helping people that want to install 11.3 on their laptop - preparing and demoing 11.3 on our touchsmarts - music -> adrian! :-) - general stuff like carrying around chairs and tables - balloon clown (job already taken ;-) The party will take place on July, 15th. I have posters[1] here in my office, and we already have news[2] and facebook[3] articles. Please help to spread the word! Did I miss something, or do you have ideas about additional talks or activities? Greetings!

Hi, Is there any reason why the meeting is at a time of day when all I want is going home? I guess it made sense to schedule late when Federico was part of the team, but by now I would rather meat at 11am (on any other day preferably - as tuesday is OBS meeting - but we can move that easily too :). The reason I'm asking is that tuesday afternoon collides with the little sport I'm doing. So far I only went every 2nd week, but I thougt I ask.

What I did last week: - openfate milestone: + thanks to Tom, I'm finally able to test my local changes + I saw that my first changes were not working correctly; played a bit more with them, but didn't have enough time to fix everything - mailed opensuse-gnome to see if someone could help migrate our wiki pages to the new wiki. No answer so far. - openSUSE 11.3: + closed a few features that were implemented + worked on GNOME bugs; things are either nearly perfect, or we don't have a lot of testers. I prefer to think we have no bugs ;-) - announced new modules for next version of GNOME, and helped push the proposal for a moduleset regorganization, which generated quite some discussion in the GNOME community - helped push the announcement that the GNOME Foundation is hiring a sysadmin; quite excited about it! - asked questions to the candidates running for the GNOME Foundation board, since I'm not running this year, and participated in the discussion there. - meetings (GNOME Foundation-related, GNOME roadmap, openSUSE project, internal one) What I'll be doing this week: - probably bug fixes on Monday - tarballs for upstream GNOME release - LinuxTag 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

Week report 2010#21
by Vincent Untz 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

What I did last week: - administrative stuff - meetings (standup, foundation board) - long session of upstream hacking, mostly for gnome-panel: I merged the bonobo-less branch. This is a significant achievement, since getting rid of bonobo and use dbus instead has been a long-standing goal upstream. In addition, I made it possible to actually still use bonobo in a completely optional (at runtime) way to offer compatibility with all applets. Which is something distros want. (of course, if you don't know what bonobo is, you can't care about that ;-)) - released GNOME 2.31.2. It was painful, since many modules didn't build. Apparently, the 2.31.1 release was not even done before, so that explains part of it. - pushed some openSUSE presence at the RMLL, in July. After much discussion, we'll share a booth with our Mandriva friends (since we can't man a booth for the whole event). We'll have 2 or 3 people at the event, and we'll get some goodies to give away. - chatted a bit about one of my Linuxtag talk (the GNOME one), to split the work with my co-presenter. - packaging work: work with Dominique to fix various bugs, get rid of hal by default on GNOME, make sure everything was using tracker instead of beagle, make the last changes needed for better iphone support, etc. - looked at the gnome security bugs: looks like we're relatively okay there What I'll be doing this week: - prepare Linuxtag talks and workshops - work on a few GNOME release team tasks - *cough*openfate*cough* -- 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

handling tasks
by Marcus Moeller 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi all. I an not sure yet how group tasks are coordinated. What I have noticed is that reports are delivered every Monday, but how is communication handled while working on open tasks? Are PMs/IRC query preferred or should this list be used (which may of course cause some traffic which is not relevant for everybody).

Hi, What i did: * worked on the wiki migration, mainly packaging and friends and management of the release * Participated in an ran our bi-weekly standup meeting * Helped Sascha with all the Weekly News content. A major cleanup * Wrestled with Adrian and Lubos about the new wiki structure.

We really need to step up on execution of these events or we will never gain visitors. On the contrary, judging from the number of participants from the office this time. What i plan to do: * continue the wiki migration. especially getting a the release date set * work on my linuxtag talks What is blocking me: It's not blocking me but I'm getting tired of "fighting" with people about new ways of doing things. I wish this community would be a bit more open minded, not so reserved with change and more trustful sometimes *sniff* Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
