[opensuse-gnome] opensuse-edu
by James Tremblay 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Dear gnome team, We have been working really hard to build an add-on cd for education. The KDE side is incredible, I am a gnome user and I am saddened by the gnome side. Please tell anyone you know about the project and it's need for gnome contributors. We need desktop policies (sabayon profiles) and better patterns for the "software management" tool and general testing, reviews and title reviews. I beg of you, join #opensuse-edu on freenode and opensuse-edu(a)opensuse.org and volunteer a few minutes to help put Linux on the desktop of school children everywhere. Remember daily users often become long term enthusiasts.

[opensuse-gnome] Desktop Policy Review
by Vincent Untz 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

Hi, Here's my attempt to not forget another time to send a call for review :-) Some time ago, I collected a list of settings we change in the default configuration: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Desktop_Policy Please take a look at this list and comment it. There are some settings that clearly shouldn't be changed anymore (sticky notes settings, eg). If we can reduce this list, it'd be great! Note that it's not totally complete since it's mainly gconf settings right now. I'm sure there are other places where default settings are changed and that I missed (eg, patches which changes a behavior), so please help by completing the list.

[opensuse-gnome] Pattern Review (Follow Up for Live CD)
by JP Rosevear 16 Apr '08

16 Apr '08

As Magnus is away right now and there are some potential size issues for the Live CD, I thought I would write a follow up mail with some proposed changes in the patterns, based on: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Pattern_Review The removals are proposed because we simply don't need them by default for the DVD and CD: 1) gnet 2) fam-server 3) sabayon 4) pessalus 5) gnome-commander 6) gnome-keyring-manager (already dropped as a package) 7) ncpfs 8) pulseaudio-module-jack The removals are proposed because the are pulled in by other packages: 1) cdparanoia 2) cdrdao 3) dirmngr 4) gdb 5) gle 6) guile 7) python-numeric 8) python-orbit 9) phalanx Unsure removals: 1) sox 2) vcdimager -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Patches for GNOME packages
by Rodrigo Moya 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Hi The GNOME packages (packages maintained by gnome-maintainers@) follow the patch tagging guidelines described in this page: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Patches#Patch_Standards so please, consider this a gently reminder that if you add new patches to packages maintained by the GNOME team, please take a minute to add the correct tagging. In a not too distant future we might add hooks to osc to not even allow you to submit a package with untagged patches, so get used to do it now :-) -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] XGL/Compiz changes
by Rodrigo Moya 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Hi After discussing it with JP and Cyberorg, here's a list of actions that will be done, so please add your comments: * gnome-xgl-settings will disappear, the hardware database thing will be moved to simple-ccsm to enable/disable GUI when the graphics card is not supported. * my patch to the appearance capplet will be moved also to simple-ccsm, there will be a check box to enable/disable compiz (if the graphics card is in the database), and if ticked, the rest of the GUI will be as it is now. * gnome-xgl-switch will be moved to xgl, probably with the hardware database also? with this, we cover the compiz config from within the desktop. For enabling xgl, users would need to run gnome-xgl-switch (or xgl-switch if moved to xgl package), thus this will work for both KDE and GNOME people. The best solution would be to have the enabling in the X configuration, but it's probably too late for this, so not sure if we'll have this (discussing with the X guys now) so, any comments? -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] My Torrent Observations
by Alan McGovern 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

> As far as I can tell, monsoon is not localizable right now, which is a major issue. It's currently available in French, German, English, Spanish and I've got word that a Hungarian translation is on the way. SVN has a TRANSLATIONS document which explains the process for new translators, so it's as simple as checking out from svn and reading that. If you know anyone who wants to translate Monsoon, just point em towards the svn url: http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/monsoon Thanks, Alan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
