[New: openFATE 311143] Humane address book for the cloud

Feature added by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Feature #311143, revision 1 Title: Humane address book for the cloud Hackweek VI: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Cornelius Schumacher (cschum) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Motivation This project is not about an address book. It's not about listing contacts in alphabetical order, having fields for titles and middle names, zip codes, and different types of phone numbers, it's not about concepts like meta-contacts, contact syncing, IM status notifications, device capabilities, or about formats, APIs, or other technical questions. This project is about making computers support you in dealing with people in the age of the cloud. It's about providing a humane way to handle the data you have about the people you are related to, a way which meets your mental model of people and relationships, and not something, which is dominated by implementation details and limitations of underlying technology, be it paper address books, or electronic versions of them. This project is also about supporting you in being connected in the cloud without giving up control about your data. It's about integration and access on your terms, not the terms of a random service provider. Goals The goal of this project is to implement a tool which helps you to manage your data about people and your relationships with them, based on a number of principles: People. This is about people, about what you want to remember about other people, about your relationship to other people, about individuals, who have some common history with you. It's not about contacts, addresses, personal information, it's about people. Humane interface. The way the tool works should be based on humane concepts of how to think of and deal with people, and hide the details and limitations of the implementation. It should support concepts such as groups, history, physical or logical proximity, visual models, and fuzzy data. Ubiquity. You should always have access to your people data, no matter where you are, what kind of device you use, if or what kind of network access you have. Eternity. Information you have about people, your familiy, your friends, your colleagues, and others, is valuable. It's part of your history. It should be stored forever, without the danger of losing it, or forgetting about the past. Control. You should be in control of your data, who accesses it, what's visible, where it's stored, what's connected, This is your personal social network, owned and controlled by nobody else than you. Connect to the cloud. Lots of personal data is in the cloud. The tool should be able to connect to it, pull in, what you are interested in, share what you want to share. This should be done in a decentralized, distributed way, so you don't need to let others aggregate your data, but you do it on your own terms. So you can make use of the cloud matching your own model, which can go beyond the model social networks use in the cloud. Technology There is a wealth of technology available to implement such a tool. But this shouldn't be the priority. Technology will come together to serve the higher principles and goals. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311143

To me it is confusing, annoying and childish. Please remove it from future releases. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311021

Feature added by: Jared Meidal (kahu) Feature #310579, revision 1 Title: Window Tiling feature Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jared Meidal (kahu) Description: I would like to see a window arranger/tiler added as a package within OpenSUSE.

[New: openFATE 310480] Improving Inkscape lock/unlock icon
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Feature added by: Ricardo Varas (RicardoVarasSantana) Feature #310480, revision 1 Title: Improving Inkscape lock/unlock icon Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ricardo Varas (ricardovarassantana) Description: When I use layers a lot and need to lock/unlock them, it is very hard to tell their current state. Lock icon is too small or the shape for locked/unlocked is too similar. I am using the default icon set for openSUSE 11.3 KDE version, screen resolution is 1440x900. I understand it is possible to change the icons, but it would not be good when you want to keep the system according to Oxygen icons (there is huge difference between the Oxygen lock icon and Tango's). As for the rest of icons, they look good. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310480

[New: openFATE 310106] Separate disk images for countries where no SW patents (with proprietary codecs)
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 Jul '11

Feature added by: Alex Savin (alexqwesa) Feature #310106, revision 1 Title: Separate disk images for countries where no SW patents (with proprietary codecs) openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Alex Savin (alexqwesa) Description: Opensuse disk images distributed in countries where disallowed software patents must include a complete set of codecs (including proprietary), profit: codecs is important part of system and most peoples use it anyway, bye or install from packman repo, but why peoples in countries where disallowed software patents should care about it? 1) newbies is very unhappy due this 2) it made liveCDs worse How it can work: 1) If a request to http://software.opensuse.org comes from a country where disallowed software patents, it should display the modified page contains two links to the disk images - the main image with codecs, and somewhere near the original image 2) I think there are no unsolvable problems for distribute, for example: susestudio.com allows you to build and distribute images containing patented codecs -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310106
