Hey guys,
I've been invited as a representative of the GNOME-A11y team to
participate in the upcoming GNOME Marketing Hackfest on November 10-11
right here in Chicago! I'm still in shock that something actually
happens in Chicago (aka Windowsland)
Essentially, its a hackfest to examine current material used to market
GNOME to the masses and update/create new material.
While I am there as a representative of GNOME-A11y, I still thought it
would be useful to get all of your thoughts from an openSUSE GNOME
perspective on what you think needs to be considered for marketing.
Your thoughts (No, Magnus... Not *those* thoughts!) and comments are
truly welcomed.
Thanks,
--

Hi.
Yast GTK software management has another layout in RC2, as was in RC1.
It uses the same as is in 11.1 and as was in Milestones, before RC1.
Was it changed on purpose? And why am i asking?
Software management in RC1 was fully translated and now, in RC2, some of
buttons (like Avilable, Upgrades, Installed, All...) aren´t translated.
Attached screenshots of layout in RC1 and RC2.

Hey,
I think it'd be nice to make it easy for people to test the GNOME 3
stuff in 11.2. A few things this could imply:
+ having a nice http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/3.0 page explaining how to
setup everything (with one-click install links), what should be
tested, etc.
+ have good documentation (with one-click install) on at least those
topics:
- gnome-shell
- new accessibility stack
- zeitgeist?
+ make it easy to choose to log in GNOME Shell instead of the
traditional metacity + panel from gdm.
This implies:
- adding a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions
- setting up a specific directory that will contain new autostart
files, mostly for gnome-shell. The desktop files will contain
X-GNOME-Provides=panel and X-GNOME-Provides=windowmanager (we
might be able to merge this into one with "panel;windowmanager;")
- start the gnome session as usual, but with a different
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS variable that will let us add our new autostart
directory.
Any other ideas? Any volunteers? :-)

Hi, everyone,
I've just created this template in the wiki:
http://en.opensuse.org/Template:GNOME_Navbox
You can include it in a page by putting this at the bottom:
{{GNOME Navbox}}
The navbox is a "navigation box" similar to the ones in Wikipedia. For
GNOME, this basically a more compact version of our main GNOME page. It
is not as visually compact as I would like, but we can fix that later.
I've started to include the navbox template in some of the GNOME
subpages (GNOME/*). If you have an important page in the GNOME
hierarchy, feel free to use the template and improve it!

I upgraded to 11.2 RC1 and after whenever I login to my old user,
nothing gets displayed. The monitor goes idle. during the upgrade I
retained my /home partition without any change.
I created a new user and everything works fine in the new user.
Attached is the xsession errors file for the old user where things doesnt work.
Need to file this as a bug ?

Interesting question. It's something we inherited from GNOME upstream (check commit
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-power-manager/commit/?id=b36e51d35e7a816ca4… ).
The rationale MIGHT be that those actions are available from the 'Shut down' menu, but I'm not sure about that.

Both bugs 436758[1] and 386359[2] have been open for a year or more,
both relating to YaST & the Control Center.
The first recommends YaST, in the right hand side of the Computer
menu, should be renamed to something more descriptive, like
"Administrator Settings". This was originally opened against 11.1 but
was pushed back.
[1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436758
The second recommends re-adding Common Tasks to the Control Center, as
we had during 10.2. It was quick shortcuts to tasks (like Add a
Printer, Manage Accounts, Change Default Applications) that can be
quickly done in either the Control Center or YaST. This was originally
opened against 11.0(!).
[2] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=386359
Is there enough time to get these two usability issues settled before 11.2?
Thanks,

The sonar-icon-theme (available on factory but not used by default) blends
better with the sonar-theme used in gnome. It also automatically solves
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545540
Would it not be better to use it by default, instead of the current icon-
theme?

Ok, tested. It works now, it didn't on M6,7.

It shows. Later I'll test if it works.
Shouldn't it simply be in "preferences" of the power manager context menu? I hate having to use the
regedit-like gconf-editor

The thing is, if that there are few active contributors here, and most are devs, this list is of
little use to users asking user's questions. We users tend to ask where most of our questions are
asked, not where they "should" go.
