[heroes] IRC meeting
by Christian Boltz 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hello, we decided to have an IRC meeting once a month at the first Sunday at 19:00 CET / 18:00 UTC. For January, first Sunday means January 1st. While this isn't a problem for me, I'd guess some people are still on vacation. Do we really want to do the meeting on January 1st, or should we start our regular meetings with an exception ;-) and move it by one week to January 8th? Regards, Christian Boltz PS: Christmas was a bit... salty here ;-) -- For a while I thought that it may be … [View More]

[heroes] opensuse.org subdomains pointing to pages.github.com
by Theo Chatzimichos 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

Hello, as agreed on the offsite, we will not allow opensuse.org subdomains pointing to non-opensuse.org infrastructure, see [1]. One special case that we have so far though is pages.github.com. We currently have 101.opensuse.org, and I have requests for two other github pages to get an opensuse.org subdomain. What is your opinion, should we make an exception on the policy here? -- Theo Chatzimichos <tampakrap(a)opensuse.org> <tchatzimichos(a)suse.com> System Administrator SUSE … [View More]

[heroes] hermes.opensuse.org state
by Thorsten Bro 09 Dec '16

Hi all, between running around the office, i somehow managed it to talk to Klaas Freitag for about half an hour. For general he would be willing to help to fix issues but is not into "maintaining" the service hermes.opensuse.org Furthermore - he has no problems if we shutdown the service - as he sees that Hermes may not have become the solution he meant it to be. TL;DR; if nobody from openSUSE Heroes teams starts caring about Hermes, we are free to shut it down at any time (from the former … [View More]

Hello, I want to say "Thanks!", too. It was a wonderful and interesting weekend. We have to repeat it. :-) Best regards, Sarah Gesendet: Montag, 05.

I … [View More]enjoyed it, even if my head is still smoking ;-) (and of course, also thanks for all the fun that is not mentioned in the minutes ;-) Am Sonntag, 4. Dezember 2016, 19:50:10 CET schrieb Theo Chatzimichos: > * mediawiki It looks like nobody took notes about the MediaWiki details, so let me add them ;-) - the *.opensuse.org wikis run an outdated version of MediaWiki - only the admins in Provo have direct access to the wiki servers, and don't provide the response time and quality we'd like to see ;-) [1] - we'll move the wiki to the upcoming openSUSE Cloud so that we get direct access and can (and have to ;-) maintain it - cboltz is working on the wiki update (to 1.27.x LTS). Things that will change (mostly because of changes in upstream MediaWiki): - MediaWiki authentification framework changed completely, so we'll switch to openID (which is available as extension) instead of rewriting our AccessManager extension - the openSUSE theme ("Bento") needs to be updated because of MediaWiki changes (status: works, but some code beautifying would be nice - help welcome) - the fixed width theme is only used by a few users and will be dropped to ease maintenance - the MWSearch extension is no longer maintained and will be replaced by https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CirrusSearch - as a result, search backend will switch from Lucene to ElasticSearch - the "this page has been accessed X times" counter is no longer part of MediaWiki core. It's available as an extension, which we'll install because the counter is cool ;-) - CategoryWatch is reported to not work with the new MediaWiki version. The replacement is probably https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:CategoryMembershipChanges[https://www… (not tested yet) - cboltz started packaging MediaWiki and some extensions in home:cboltz:infra - AI cboltz to do a MediaWiki 1.27.x test setup on a VM on hydra (including salt'ing the base system - help on this is welcome ;-) Let me also add some notes regarding the wiki content which we discussed with Christoph on friday: - we have lots of wiki pages that are outdated and need an update - we'll create a "needs review" category and tag _all_ pages with this category (using ReplaceText). When reviewing a page: a) - update the page if needed - if a page is only of historical interest, move it to the Archive: namespace - delete completely superfluous pages b) - remove the "needs review" category - for version-specific pages, add an "update for 42.3" category that serves as TODO list when 42.3 gets released (after updating those pages for 42.3, move them to an "update for 43.1" category) - for pages that don't need regular changes, add a "stable content" category (exact category names not decided yet) - page templates should include the "needs review" template by default - these categories will be be used as TODO lists - in simple cases by looking at the category page, in more complex cases (like searching for not tagged pages) by using DynamicPageList's "notcategory" filter - old releases and less important portals should no longer be listed in the "Popular Portals" box. This can be done a) by maintaining that box manually or b) by adding the "important" portals to a special category or c) by adding the to-be-hidden portals to a special category - Christoph has a time budget for updating the wiki (unless something more important blocks him), but this doesn't mean he can do it alone - all this can start now - no need to wait for the wiki update Regards, Christian Boltz [1] was this diplomatic enough? ;-) -- Registrierter Linux-Nutzer #239431 Linux is like a wigwam: no gates, no windows, but an apache inside. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org [View Less]
