Feature added by: Roger Luedecke (Shadowolf7) Feature #311069, revision 1 Title: Simple default file share config (ala Ubuntu/MacOSX) openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Roger Luedecke (shadowolf7) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Enable simple Share and Dropbox folders by default on each account. Home network filesharing should be easy for the home user. Ubuntu does this very elegantly, with simple sharing and permission management. Current tools in most distros are very confusing to the point of being nearly unusable, including OpenSUSE. I recommend cloning the samba etc. technique as used in Ubuntu/Kubuntu. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311069

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312184, revision 1 Title: Integrate some social features in connect for promo of events openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: If we start using the connect calendar to plan and promote events it'd be nice if we could easily put those pages on facebook, tweet/dent and whatever is relevant. Having an ical file for an event could be a good thing too ("add to my calendar"), stuff like that. TODO: add more and more specific suggestions! Use Case: ambassador creates event he/she will organize; clicks the button(s) to promote it easily and quickly! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: make it easy to have connect events as central hub for promotion of an event! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312184

[New: openFATE 312178] Enhance events page in connect to be used for planning

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312178, revision 1 Title: Enhance events page in connect to be used for planning openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE ambassadors currently use a wiki page like this one (http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:HCCLinuxDag2011) to collaborate. However making one is a chore and for many ambassadors simply difficult - neither their English nor their wiki fu make it very accessible to them. However, connect is easy! It just misses the ability to make a list of names & information, editable by anyone who attends: - who will bring what materials? - who will arrive when and leave when? - who needs travel support? - who will help with the booth? - who will give a talk? Use Case: If you organize an event, you need to coordinate a few things with the others who come. Knowing that ppl "attend" is not enough! You need to know if they will bring any; in what capacity they attend (just visitor or help with the booth and/or give a talk); when people arrive and leave; and if they need travel support so you can discuss that with the openSUSE marketing team and/or the board/sponsors. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: This negates the need for a wiki page for events and will make it far easier for ambassadors to plan their events on openSUSE infrastructure in a way that is visible to the outside world (eg potential visitors or other ambassadors who could help)! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312178

[New: openFATE 312181] Show what events an user has attended (as ambassador or not)

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312181, revision 1 Title: Show what events an user has attended (as ambassador or not) openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openSUSE ambassadors do a lot of work but it is often not very visible. It'd be awesome if connect would show what events they have attended and what they did there! Just showing a list of past events in their profile page would be very nice, especially if it would show if they did go as ambassador/speaker or not! Use Case: Ambassador henne went to 15 events but nobody knows how much he did! If only his profile page would show the world what an amazing ambassador he is... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: It helps: giving credit to ambassadors for what they do; allow them to build up a trackrecord; us to decide if he/she should get travel support or not; linking them to the event reports they made -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312181

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312182, revision 1 Title: allow classification of event attendance on connect openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: On connect one can attend an event. But how do you attend it? Are you ambassador who will be at a booth? Speaker? Just visitor? If we'd have this it is more clear for the organizer to see who will do what; and the event can show up on the ambassador userpage record showing what he/she has done! Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: makes planning easier as well as more clearer giving credit where it is due! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312182

[New: openFATE 312177] Allow commenting on events in Connect

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312177, revision 1 Title: Allow commenting on events in Connect openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Connect has events but you can't really have a discussion there. It'd be awesome if this feature could be added, preferably threaded commenting. Use Case: Say there is an event where you'll have a booth for openSUSE. Poeople can join as 'attending'. Being able to comment would be nice - having a discussion about the event or asking questions. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: it makes events more engaging! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312177

[New: openFATE 312158] easier adding of comments on Connect
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 01 Apr '11

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312158, revision 1 Title: easier adding of comments on Connect openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It'd be awesome if you could comment on the profile page of an user. Doesn't have to be a full-fledged discussion, just being able to post comments and reply to them. The style of Facebook in this regard (the wall) is awesome but probably needs quite some work :D This should even more so work on the homepage of a team - for many simple things a 'discussion' is just a bit to heavy-weight... Use Case: 1. allows to have a discussion about the profile of an user with a group of ppl instead of having to use private mail. 2. allows quick commenting, posting of links etc on the group page, making it more interesting and interactive. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: makes it easier and more obvious to add comments/talk/discuss; lowering the barrier to entry. The commenting on an user's profile makes personal interaction in a semi-public way (unlike mail) easier. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312158

[New: openFATE 312183] Add gallery functionality to connect event pages (and elsewhere?)

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312183, revision 1 Title: Add gallery functionality to connect event pages (and elsewhere?) openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be awesome if ambassadors could add a picture gallery to the event page once the event is over! They could already add a nice event report and adding images is possible, but far from easy. A nice image gallery plugin for Elgg or tinymce (eg a flickr plugin?) would make it far easier for them. Use Case: You've been to an openSUSE event and want to share the pictures you took on the event page! But you have to add them one by one in the slow to use rich text editor add image dialog... Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: make the event pages/reports far nicer looking! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312183

Feature added by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Feature #312180, revision 1 Title: add some connect plugins openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jos Poortvliet (jospoortvliet) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be great if the following two plugins could be added to tinymce, the rich text editor of connect: emotions (emoticons for the forums, always good); paste (so you can copy rich text into the thing); Use Case: Emotions makes it possible to use emoticons in the editor and makes the forums look better. The paste makes it easy to copy-paste rich text into posts. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312180
