Feature added by: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) Feature #318216, revision 1 Title: Drop Yast AppArmor Requested by: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The current Yast AppArmor configuration tool has been written by Immunix guys, but nobody understands the technology and even worse, nobody understands and nobody is able to maintain the current code as it has been developed in a very strange way in Perl. We want to drop this module or we will gladly hand it over to anyone. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Old unmaintained code, technology is not known in the Yast team, nobody is able to take care about it. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318216

Feature added by: Visitha Baddegama (visithaB) Feature #315044, revision 1 Title: Phonegap Application for openSUSE News/ Planet openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Visitha Baddegama (visithab) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently openSUSE community can aware of what is happening at the organization by reffering news.oo and planet.oo. Proposed mobile application allows users to access both of above news sources together with lot of useful features. Because of I am implementing this as a phonegap application, there is a huge advantage that the app doesn't depend on the mobile platform. That means this app can be used in lot of today most popular mobile platforms like Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry etc. Flow of the app The main screen of the app will have two views for both news.oo and planet.oo. Using the Tab option of header, user can switch between them. At first, resulted news will be displayed as a thumbnail list which will contain an image of author or related to the news, news title and a brief description of news at each list item. The Refresh button will be at the header too. And when user click on each list item, he will be directed to full details page of selected news. In that page, there will be footer with few options like "Add as Favourite", "Share with Facebook/Twitter/ Google+", "Send Email" etc. At the footer of main screen, there will be options like "News", "Search", "Favorites" Features of the App * Use JQuery Mobile to increase the appearance of all GUIs * Implement app as suits with lot of popular Android devices Some times mobile applications don't compatible with lot of devices since different resolution sizes. This app will be compatible with device like smart phones and Tablets. * Give capability to filter news "Search" option of main screen footer will allow user to filter news by l atest news , Specific author , specific date etc * Add an event calendar to the app Event calendar of the app will be sync with openSUSE calendar and will display all upcoming events on the top of the calendar. * Give email sending capability via mobile application User can send emails to specific authors who are in the openSUSE community and out side of it too. HTML email template will be used. * Add news as favorites By using main screen footer option "Favorites", user can view again his favorite news which he starred before. * Give Language changing capability like in planet.oo According to use desire, he can change the language of app. It will contain all languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Russian etc) planet.oo supports. Here both content of the news and constant lables of app will be changed according to the language * Add a pluging to keep user preference data Using this plugin, app can manage user preference data like Language, theme, font size, enable notifications * Integration of SQLite DB to the app A SQLite database will be integrated to the app to keep data just only use at client side. All data related to Favorite News, email configuration data etc. will be stored in it. I have described all details about how I am going to implement above features, my plan and related technology and material for each functionality in my GSOC proposal. Test Case: As the first version of my Phonegap app, I successfully gave language changing capability to the app. https://www.dropbox.com/s/y35svmfhl6i6o0z/SimpleRssFeedReader.apk Using this demo, you can change the language of app to English, Hungarian, Japanese and French. Now I am adding more languages to the app. First it will display a news list with brief descriptions. And after you click on an item will display full details and images of selected news. For this application I have used JQuery mobile and custome CSS file. Therefore we can use our own colors and styles. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Using this mobile app, users can view all articles posted in major openSUSE news sources news.oo and planet.oo very easily and quickly. And because of this is a phonegap application, app doesn't depend on the mobile platform. This allow users to use large variety of mobile devices. And all developers at the community, new comers who have interest to contribute openSUSE, and people who are using openSUSE products will be benefited with this app. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315044

Feature added by: Daniel FAIVRE (geomaticien) Feature #317305, revision 1 Title: Permit updates despite removed accounts openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Daniel FAIVRE (geomaticien) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When a feature request is updated, the presence of removed accounts blocks updating until removed accounts are removed from the feature request. These behavior should be changed to permit an update without removing old accounts. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Somebody could have thousands of reasons to remove an account AND still have expressed a wish one day. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317305

[New: openFATE 309188] Don't require keytab file for kerberos authentication
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 26 May '15

Feature added by: Todd R (TheBlackCat) Feature #309188, revision 1 Title: Don't require keytab file for kerberos authentication openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Todd R (theblackcat) Description: In openSUSE, when using kerberos it requires that a keytab file be available for things like kerberized nfs. However, not all kerberos servers are set up to provide keytabs. Someone using openSUSE cannot access these resources using kerberos at all, as far as I have been able to find out. It would be nice if openSUSE removed this requirement, or at least made it user-configurable whether to require it or not. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309188

[New: openFATE 317273] uboot support in perl-bootloader

Feature added by: Matwey Kornilov (matwey) Feature #317273, revision 1 Title: uboot support in perl-bootloader openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Matwey Kornilov (matwey) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: perl-bootloader which is used by YaST routines and mkinitrd scripts currently doesn't support uboot loader. At the other hand, the number of supported ARM-based boards increases with every release. Most of them use uboot as bootloader, so we need uboot integration with perl-bootloader, YaST, etc. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/317273

Feature added by: Kim Leyendecker (openLHAG) Feature #312732, revision 1 Title: Article rating in our wiki openSUSE.org: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Kim Leyendecker (openlhag) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Wikipedia is doing this for some months now, and I think, the idea behind it is really nice. See the following article and have a look to the end: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE#External_links ThereÂ´s a little rating window with some criteria. I think, especially for such a technical wiki like our ones, we should enable something like this (if possible) Use Case: People can rate our articles -> We get feedback and ideas how to make our wiki better Creating a "We-feeling" -> the crowd feels addressed and to move for join the wiki team. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We get Feedback and the chance to improve our wiki. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312732

It can make our wiki more interwiki linked. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313813

[New: openFATE 314348] Improved usb installer
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 May '15

Feature added by: Michael Doris (dorism) Feature #314348, revision 1 Title: Improved usb installer openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Doris (dorism) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It would be great to be able to select a usb install option on the 'download' page - making it more prominent and integrated for users. I think there should be some guidance on how to boot from usb too on the site as a lot of people may not know how to do this from their bios. Use Case: The use case woudl look something like this - website offers to burn to disk, usb or provide a 'live version' - user selects option to install to usb - the user then accepts the option to download the usb installer - user launches the usb installer - usb installer launches and downloads the appropriate .iso file for that system - once downloaded it offers the option for write image to usb - users confirms and writes iso to usb Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: I think this will encourage adoption since a lot of new devices don't have CD drives any more. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314348

[New: openFATE 313229] Create infrastructure to recognize user contributions
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 19 May '15

19 May '15

Feature added by: Robert Schweikert (rjschwei) Feature #313229, revision 1 Title: Create infrastructure to recognize user contributions openSUSE Infrastructure: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Robert Schweikert (rjschwei) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: One of the requirements of becoming a member is for the applicant to show contributions to the project. These contributions then need to get verified by the membership committee. This verification today is tedious, and we would like to have a system that makes it easy to verify contributions across the various areas of the project. In addition we would like to use the same mechanism to enable recognition of project contributions by existing members. The idea is to automatically collect data such as - submit requests to the project, possibly listed by project - packages maintained (possibly not inherited maintainership) - forum posts - ML participation - bugs filed and/or fixed - wiki edits Some general ideas can be found in this message: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2012-01/msg00390.html -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313229
