(apologies for the top-post, on the train) Stephen, some of what i'm trying to cover with omgsuse is that level of traspnsparency into what's going on with boosters (and the rest of the project) from a general user perspective. (i could be misunderstanding what you're expecting though) Anything specific you're looking for, or just "what's up" -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Shaw <sshaw(a)decriptor.com> Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 4:36 PM To: opensuse-gnome(a)opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse-gnome] Reviewing the release cycle of openSUSE 11.3 / GNOME Team On Fri, Jul 16, 2010 at 16:15, Vincent Untz <vuntz(a)opensuse.org> wrote: > Le vendredi 16 juillet 2010, à 12:57 -0600, Stephen Shaw a écrit : >> yeah, what's going on with the booster team?

When you guys started out there were several blog posts and then they died off. I realize, now, that there is a mailing list. Unfortunately, a mailing list isn't probably the best medium for the average user or general public to consume. At the same time, I'm not expecting a blog post every day. It would be good to have the community/general public see what cool things the booster team is up to without having to add yet another mailing list.

[opensuse-gnome] Help needed: migrate the GNOME wiki pages
by Vincent Untz 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, As you might know, the wiki team has been working on a new wiki: wiki.opensuse.org. It'd be great to have someone taking care of migrating the useful information from http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME and migrate it to the wiki, probably starting at http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_team (since it's linked from http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Teams) There's some documentation at http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Wiki to do this. I'm willing to help tell you which wiki page is worth migrating and which one is not. Any volunteer?

[opensuse-gnome] enabling GNOME:Factory libwebkit for 11.1
by Gabriel Burt 11 Jul '10

11 Jul '10

Hey guys, I just downloaded webkit-1.2.1.tar.gz on SLED 11 SP1 and it seems to build fine. Can somebody with GNOME:Factory permissions enable building of libwebkit for openSUSE 11.1 and/or SLED 11 SP1? I didn't pass "--enable-geolocation --enable-introspection" which the libwebkit.spec does, so might need to %if %suse_version > 1110 that out. Thanks!

[opensuse-gnome] Suggestions for Sonar gtk theme
by Kirill Kirillov 10 Jul '10

10 Jul '10

Hi! What do you think about adding some of Ia-Ora GTK+ theme improvements to Sonar? http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2010.1_Notes#GNOME Espicillay these two: 1) Windows can now be dragged not only from the window title (in Metacity or Compiz), but also from the window menubar. This is not very useful for Ia-Ora theme but other themes are now trying to remove the distinction between window title and menubar, so it might help. 2) Mnemonics are now hidden by default, unless you start pressing "Alt" key. It is to help reducing clutter on screen. -- Kirill Kirillov <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME highlights for 11.3
by Vincent Untz 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Hi, People have started working on highlights for 11.3, which is a document that will help people know what changed in this version of openSUSE. I'd appreciate if people could take some time and add items for GNOME: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Product_highlights_11.3#GNOME_Desktop Andreas did a first pass, and I did a second pass, so it's looking relatively okay now. But I'm sure we forgot some things :-) So just go there and add some nice new features!

[opensuse-gnome] Hardware tab in gnome-sytem-monitor
by Atri Bhattacharya 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hi! I noticed a while back that the hardware tab in gnome-system-monitor, which I found quite useful, has disappeared for 11.3. I thought this was something upstream, but now I see this report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582311 and it looks like it was actually an openSUSE patch that was committed upstream in 2009. So if this is not in 11.3 is it because of a bug, or by design and if so is there some simple way to enable it?
