Feature changed by: Scott Couston (zczc2311) Feature #306625, revision 12 Title: automatic email alias, irc cloak, lizards data generation on users.o.o Hackweek IV: Evaluation by project manager Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Hendrik Vogelsang (hennevogel) Requested by: Joe Brockmeier (jbrockmeier) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: To be able to maintain the list of @opensuse.org email aliases, freenode irc cloaks and lizards.o.o logins for members the openSUSE board is looking for a ruby hacker willing to implement automatic generation of aliases/cloaks in users.opensuse.org. users.o.o is a ruby on rails application. Each opensuse member has 2 email aliases (login@opensuse.org, forename. surname@opensuse.org) an freenode IRC cloak and a wordpress login to lizards.opensuse.org. At the moment this data is exported and imported manualy to the different systems. What we would need is a way to make this automatic and have the data changeable by the user. Additionally the member check for contribution should be automized. We check participation with the following defaults: bugzilla login, bugs, wiki edits, user page, contrib on mls. An automatic check could shorten the evaluation as well if it simply shows in a yes/no style if there is any. And Zonker would like to see the adresses to be put in there as well (yes, on a voluntary base) to have them if eg. people go to a conference and get some stuff sent to. Discussion: #1: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2009-08-27 16:08:59) The whole users.o.o portal should be rewritten to include the features like the ones we could find in launchpad.net (e.g. https://launchpad.net/~stick84) or Fedora Accounts System. (Uncomplete) Feature list (or the list of the user attributes): * email contact * jabber contact * openpgp keys * SSH keys * openid logins * spoken languages * computer languages * location + time zone * group membership (packager, wiki editor, reviewer, board member, ...) * avatar * opensuse.org email aliases * freenode irc cloaks * ... We'll discuss this in more detail during Multipliers Kickoff and I would like to work on this afterwards. + #2: Scott Couston (zczc2311) (2011-04-03 04:27:42) + Preface: Please forgive my Verbose comment and/or suggestions here. + The following may well have already been undertaken, and if so: my + apologies. The main reason for my comment is that after 4 years I have + never seen any reference to any ISO; nor seen one adopted etc.. - I may + be horribly incorrect here + Well before we look at the functional nuts and bolts aspects to this + request, l would suggest that Policy needs discussion. The functional + creation of 'Connect' needs to function according to policy. If there + is a Policy Document and Functional Specification; please provide URL's + Rather than reinvent the wheel, I would suggest that a Data Policy + documents should follow the guidelines already available in various + ISO's. ISO- International Standards - Quality Assurance documents have + been in refinement for several decades as a result of the E.U meetings + in Brussels. + The ISO's are many and varied and cover manufacturing, construction, + marketing, mining, safe handling and storage of food, mining and + distribution of Rare Earth Minerals, I.T...and endless levels of any + creative development of Man! + http://www.questanalytical.com/Document%20Control/documentation.html + It is not unusual for an entity to follow parts of a few ISO's. - For + example the bulk of our I.T International Standards are covered in ISO + 9002, 9004 (Off the Top of my head). I would suggest we examine the + existing ISO on the aspect of Data Security well before we construct + such an application - From what I have seen this may well be far too + late to bring the 'Connect' Applications' development into line with + International Standards of Data Security! + Online Databases containing vast amounts of personal information scream + out for having their design comply along International Data Security + Standards of Quality. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306625
