[opensuse-marketing] GSoC News article
by Manu Gupta 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hey sorry because of the deadline we could not send in the article earlier ""openSUSE welcomes Google Summer of Code 2014 participants Thanks to Google, openSUSE has an excellent number of slots and an equally excellent number of mentors and students for Google Summer of Code 2014. Throughuout the summer, students participanting in this program will code for openSUSE and its sister organizations ownCloud, MATE and Zorp and help them move forward. The best part of GSoC is that most of the code written by students will go upstream and will benefit openSUSE in general also. Along with this, we have an equally good range of projects that will improve the existing openSUSE architecture. The list of successful students are : 1. Travel Support Program application - Karthik Senthil 2. Playlist Functionality for ownCloud Music App - Volkan 3. ownCloud Calendar Application in angularJS - Raghu Nayyar 4. openSUSE GSOC ideas: Cool live flash - Zsolt Peter Basak 5. Open Source Event Manager (OSEM): Refactor user management model - Stella Rouzi 6. Open Source Event Manager (OSEM): Implemention Organizer Dashboard - cbruckmayer 7. MATE: Port from deprecated GStreamer 0.10 - Michal Ratajsky 8. Integrate Snapper Snapshot browsing into openSUSE Desktop tools - Oguz Kayral 9. Implement an application-level LBaaS driver for Zorp - Péter Vörös 10. Extend Git-Review to support BitBucket - xystushi 11. Event Splash page for Visitors In Open Source Event Manager Application. - Gopesh Tulsyan 12. ePub support in Atril (MATE) - avishkar gupta 13. Add Snapshot management API to libvirt Xenlight driver - David Kiarie In the following weeks we will talk a lot more about these projects and get to know these students well.

[opensuse-marketing] LinuxTag 2014
by Jos Poortvliet 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi all, I'll organize the LinuxTag Booth this year. LinuxTag, taking place during May 8-10, is different this year - they have partnered with Droidcon and Re:Publica for their event, moved to a new location. Brand new! I have proposed to do something different than a normal booth, too. I'm involved with KDE, openSUSE and ownCloud so I thought the three could do something cool this year ;-) The plan is this: We get an area with a few rows of chairs and a projector. Every hour, we host a 45 minute workshop there. Examples: * testing Linux distro's with openQA * writing an ownCloud App * Building a basic QML Plasma App The schedule will probably be: 10-12 and 13-17, so ~6 talks/day. People get something for participating - nothing big, just a few nice thingies. On the sides of this area, we have our booths: the traditional table with material and somebody around to ask questions from. All this should of course make 'our' area much more interesting and give opportunities to talk to people. LinuxTag liked the idea, so did the openSUSE board, KDE and ownCloud so they all tasked me with making it happen. LinuxTag asked if Postfix Admin could share our space as well - so Christian Boltz is in ;-) Now I need you. I need volunteers who are willing to give a short workshop on an openSUSE subject. Packaging in OBS is an obvious example but there are other examples. Each volunteer gives one workshop per day, three times in total thus. You'll also be at the booth a bit but we have >6 people for one table so that won't be much either. Plenty of time to enjoy LT! We can take at most 2 volunteers (but if you give a talk you get in anyway). Anybody interested? If needed, there is some travel budget available and if you're really cool you can help make it even cooler: we have some budget from the board to do something but I just don't have time to organize it. I can fill you in with the details, just ask! So, who's in?

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE on Diaspora
by Nenad Latinović 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Hi guys! I just have one suggestion - creating a Diaspora social network account for openSUSE or openSUSE News. In case someone is not familiar with Diaspora, it's a decentralized, private social network. What's interesting is that the users (I'm a few weeks in, so i see what kind of people use it) are linux, or people who might want to try use linux. Basically, quite a progressive lot who like to try new things, and i think opensource, or foss is right up their alley. Anyway, to make it not much additional work for guys running the existing social media accounts, you can connect your diaspora account to your twitter or FB account, and then your content will be reposted, if you wish. (from diaspora ---> Tw, FB, if i understood correctly). Do check it out here: https://joindiaspora.com/ Regards -- Nenad Latinović latinovic87(a)gmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-marketing] New Kid On The Block
by Nenad Latinović 02 Apr '14

Hi Manu! It seems your mail got stuck in my spam for some reason, don't know why, but I've read it. To avoid further issues I made a filter for this mailing list and a separate category, so this type of problem shouldn't occur anymore. So, to get back on topic :). Yes, sure, I'd love to help, and let's say I'm therefore sending my official application. To whom should I send my SUSE SSO information, so they can connect my account also to news.o.o.? Because upon trying to login, I got this message: You do not have access to the administration page. Error: Unauthorized Account Anyway, I also have one more question. Since this is the first time I'm truly active on a mailing list, I need to know a couple of things. When I send a mail to marketing(a)opensuse.org f.ex., when i get a response, it's usually from a personal mail of that mailing list user (in this case Henne & Manu). So, when i respond to those mails, should I remove those personal mails, so you don't receive duplicates, and send to personal mail only when I discuss something private, or do I continue sending 'reply all' messages. Thanks in advance. So, as the geeko says, have a lot of fun guys! 2014-03-30 16:03 GMT+02:00 Manu Gupta <manugupt1(a)opensuse.org>: > Hey Nenad, > > > > On Sun, Mar 30, 2014 at 4:18 PM, Nenad Latinović <latinovic87(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi! >> >> So, i went through the documentation, and i think i understand the >> goals and the workflow. >> >> I'm cc-ing the news team to let them know i'm at their disposal.
