[RED] Info for FOSDEM speakers
by Michael Loeffler 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

Moin, as maybe not all of you are subscribed on FOSDEM's distribution list (dist2010(a)lists.fosdem.org) I'll forward this mail with the current schedule and information for speakers. From openSUSE I see currently the following speakers: Vincent Adrian Coolo Pavol Christopher and 2 topics with no topics yet - SUSE Studio and Mirror Brain Best M SPEAKERS, PLEASE READ: - Check that you can actually hold your talk at the given time. If you have other commitments, or you're listed as the last person on sunday and need to leave sooner, then please tell me now (though you really should've told me earlier, but anyway). - The FOSDEM core organizers would like some information about you: name, short bio, talk title, talk abstract. Some of you have already sent some of that information to the list, but I don't have everything yet; please be so kind as to fill in the gaps. For an example of what's needed, go to http://archive.fosdem.org/2009/ and check out the pages on talks and/or speakers. Please also do so ASAP. The schedule deadline is _this sunday_; if you miss that, changing the schedule is going to be very very hard. If your title isn't correct, and you miss the deadline, then we can still update the website, but not the folders that will be handed out to visitors. What about that? Anyhow, here's my schedule proposal: Room 1 (H.1301): ================ Saturday: --------- 13:00-14:00: video team set-up 1: 14:00-14:45: Dave Neary: The Maemo Community Council: a case-study in governance. 2: 14:45-15:30: Max Spevack: Fedora Governance. 3: 15:30-16:15: Petteri Räty: Distribution HR management. 16:15-16:45: break 4: 16:45-17:30: Vincent Untz: Working with GNOME upstream. 5: 17:30-18:15: mobile distributions and upstream challenges 6: 18:15-19:00: Petteri Räty: How to be a good upstream. Sunday: ------- 09:00-10:00: video team set-up 7: 10:00-10:45: Bruno Cornec: Continuous Packaging with Project-Builder.org. 8: 10:45-11:30: Guillaume Rousse: the youri project. 9: 11:30-12:15: Adrian Schröter: Cross-distro packaging experience with the openSUSE Buildservice. 10: 12:15-13:00: Sune Vuorela: Shared libraries in Debian. 11: 13:00-13:45: Ralf Treinen and Stefano Zacchiroli: Cross-distro dependency resolution. 13:45-14:45: lunch break 12: 14:45-15:30: Jeff Johnson: Transactionally Protected Package Management. 13: 15:30-16:15: John Thomson: Transactional Roll-backs and Upgrades. 14: 16:15-17:00: Wouter Verhelst: Debian Secrets: power tools for power users. Room 2 (H.1302): ================ Saturday: --------- 15: 13:00-13:45: Klaas Freitag: Hermes Message Dispatching. 16: 13:45-14:30: Stephan Kulow: Clicfs as perfect live CD file system 17: 14:30-15:15: Some SUSE fellow: MirrorBrain 18: 15:15-16:15: Ralph Angenendt: Infrastructure round table 16:00-16:45: break 19: 16:45-17:30: Anne NICOLAS: translations of package descriptions 20: 17:30-18:15: Thomas Canniot and Armel Kermovant: Fedora-fr and upstream French communitieis. 21: 18:15-19:00: Sandro Mathys and Marcus Moeller : Spacewalk. Sunday: ------- 09:00-10:00: nothing 21: 10:00-10:45: Gabor Szabo: packaging perl and CPAN modules. 22: 10:45-11:30: Dominique Dumont: Config::Model and configuration upgrades during package upgrade. 23: 11:30-12:15: Nicolas Pierron: the configuration system of NixOS. 24: 12:15-13:00: Thomas Koch: Packaging with topgit. 25: 13:00-13:45: Pavol Rusnak: RPM packaging collaboration. 13:45-14:45: lunch break 26: 14:45-15:30: Christopher Hofmann: Distribution Image building with KIWI. 27: 15:30-16:15: Some SUSE fellow: SUSE Studio 28: 15:45-16:30: Harald Hoyer: Dracut - a generic, modular initramfs generation tool. It's fairly full, but not entirely so; we can skip the lunch breaks, and there is a rather large gap on sunday morning, too. If there are some very very interesting last-minute things, or people want to meet and discuss something in relative privacy, there should be time for that as well. I think that's a good thing. I've also split up the "user tools" track, since that was sortof a "misc" track anyway, and there was no other proper way to get the schedule done. Hope nobody thinks that's a serious problem. -- Michael Löffler, Product Management SUSE LINUX Products GmbH - Nürnberg - AG Nürnberg - HRB 16746 - GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

Umbrella Media Wiki Theme
by Michal Hrusecky 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi, part of the openSUSE Boosters umbrella project [1] is to make all openSUSE pages look similar. Robert created Bentoo theme [2] for this purpose and I've been working on porting it to the Media Wiki. Now it's time to publish something about it so I did that [3]. I didn't only published blog post and screenshot, but I also made a basic Media Wiki instance running on my web [4], so anybody can try it. All sources are available on gitorious [5]. Any feedback is welcome and patches are even more welcome ;-) [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Boosters_Team/Projects/Integrate_all_Infrastructure_… [2] http://en.opensuse.org/Image:OpenSUSE.org-Mockup.png [3] http://michal.hrusecky.net/index.php/blog/show/Media-Wiki-Theme---status-up… [4] http://wikitest.michal.hrusecky.net/ [5] http://gitorious.org/opensuse/webdesign -- 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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org

20 Dec '09

Hi, as we discussed on the meeting, here are the patches for retrospectiva. Some brief description: 0001-Showing-goals-in-stories-page-in-agile_pm.patch Shows goal in stories list. Patch sent upstream: http://retrospectiva.org/tickets/741 0002-Showing-stories-in-goals-listing-in-agile_pm.patch Shows stories in goals list. Patch sent upstream: http://retrospectiva.org/tickets/742 0003-Stories-follow-goal-to-the-new-sprint-in-agile_pm.patch Unfinished stories will be moved to the new sprint when goal they belong to is moved. Patch sent upstream: http://retrospectiva.org/tickets/743 0004-Disabling-animation.patch Disabling animation on goals page that some of you complained about. Not really sure whether we want this, maybe we should vote. Certainly wouldn't go to the upstream. -- 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

retrospectiva delete
by Stephan Kulow 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

Hi, As I just learned the hard way: deleting "X-Mas Fun" milestone deletes all stories and goals. I really wonder why - I guess I don't understand the tool ;( I asked Adrian to put the yesterback backup in place, so there might be things you need to redo. Sorry.

[amber] - the trainees do not really learn to program, but are just dumped on problems. It's amazing what they make out of it, but still their potential can be used in much larger degree if someone explained e.g. rails basics to them ;( [green] - brain storming with Tom what we want from the project main page - made up some mockup page (it's a skeleton to fix :) - fix up the status page to port my perl stuff to rails (completed S7) - Some work on S10 - created Source ISOS for 11.2 - Helping Andrea to submit LXDE - Helping Jan to do the attributes stuff "right" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-boosters+help(a)opensuse.org
