Please reply directly to the mailing list so that others can offer information as well. I do not think we send out DVD copies, but someone else here might know better. I do know that sometimes the community goes to conferences and events and hand out copies of DVDs that they have created themselves. Perhaps someone here can mention when there is an event coming to your area soon. -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Weekly News
by Francis Giannaros 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, I didn't think we could avoid having something like a weekly newsletter for much longer, so I've put together some stuff for the first one over at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE_Weekly_News/1 I'm hoping to publish it this Wednesday with a news.o.o post. How you can help! = Feedback. = I'd really appreciate any feedback on the newsletter. What you think will work/won't work. Suggestions, etc. = Help contributing to sections = * "Tips and Tricks" could be a nice section, but I can't think of anything to have in it for this week. * In the Press. Seen any decent stories about openSUSE in the press lately? Please add them th ere. * Forum news. I'd really like to get updates on the communities in the fora, so if you think you can help with this please let me know! * Help writing the next one :-) Note that the point of the weekly newsletter is to not undermine or lessen the amount of stories that we get on news.o.o. I think the amount we get there is great. The point is to cover all the extra details and have a single weekly digest for all extra things in-and-around openSUSE. Kind thoughts, -- Francis Giannaros http://francis.giannaros.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Status Action Items
by Christian Boltz 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hello, here's the status of Action Items after this week's meeting. New Action Items: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #343444 - bugzilla wizard to qualify bugreports There are several not-so-good bugreports (something like "my computer doesn't work" - OK, this is exaggerated ;-) and the developers have to "waste" their time with asking for details and logs. The idea is to create a wizard (like kde.org does) for people new to bugreporting that guides them through the process, searches for duplicates, maybe it could even force to attach y2logs when reporting YaST bugs etc. Klaas got the AI to check if and how this is possible. Note that this wizard would be an alternative to the current bug reporting page, not a replacement. Work in progress: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #173 961 - openSUSE merchandising rlihm and coolo set up a shop @spreadshirt and are in the process of getting approval on the design by Novell's corporate marketing (ETA 2007-12-10) Coolo ordered the first test shirts. For those who want to see the beta ;-) shop: http://openshop.spreadshirt.net/en/DE/Shop (URL might change) #223290 - better wishlist handling using FATE klaas finally did a short presentation on fate in the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Proposals/openFate For comparison: the wiki way from Francis http://en.opensuse.org/Feature_Plan AI Coolo to start a discussion about what to use. #328611 - Try out wishlist handling / feature tracking in the wiki Basically a duplicate of #223290 (better wishlist handling). Some feedback from the GNOME team how it worked out would be interesting. See also http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/FeaturePlanning for pros and cons of different methods. #238350 - unmaintained wikis (is, es, vi) Only vi is in bad shape and there is a banner on the frontpage. is and es are maintained again. #238355 - status of cn wiki Notlocalhorst is working on it, should be ready next week #267437 - community comitee, @opensuse.org mail addresses etc. As you (should) know, the community comitee (aka board) was announced. Therefore the summary of this AI changed to #267437 - @opensuse.org mail addresses Mail addresses are still not available #339796 - graphical headline on help.opensuse.org rlihm is working on it (english is done, other languages will follow the next days) AIs without news: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #229213 - clarify bugzilla usage for packages in build service (ETA: November) AdrianS didn't attend the meeting. #164761 - built service trust/rating system Blocked (no time and resources ETA 2008) #293726 - Creation of Babel wiki Blocked (No time) Things that were done: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # - add something about sustainability to the translation howto While discussing about unmaintained wikis and how to avoid it, it was proposed to add a note that wiki translation is not a one-time job etc. to the translation howto. Martin did this instantly, therefore no bugzilla :-) #328613 - Prepare explanation of Fate features and processses in the wiki Klaas finally did a short presentation on fate in the wiki http://en.opensuse.org/Proposals/openFate - thanks! #328622 - help.opensuse.org translations help.opensuse.org is now translated into lots of languages. Thanks to everybody who helped with this! (If your language is missing, feel free to reopen the AI and attach it. Or contact AdrianS for a SVN account ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Lass es mich so sagen: GUIs? Wir haben keine. Davon aber zwei.

[opensuse-project] KDE-LIVE-CD, very bad impressions
by Daniele 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

HI guys, after first look I'm very disappointed about live-cd but before start to reporting bug and features request I'd like to hear your opinions. 1) sound doens't work. On live cd it simple should work. No luck with yast or alsaconf. In Yast I can hear test sound but under Kde no mixer, no device, no sound. This on well supported hardware.. 2) partitions on hd should be showed somewhere (sysinfo, /media). For newbye, finding/mounting partitions it's no so easy.. 3) one of my pc is a IBN NetVista that runs 10.3 fine but with live-cd, video card/monitor are non well configured and system hangs for some ATA errors.. 4) I'm wrong or software on live-cd is in the same version of GM ? If so, I don't uderstand why. Releasing live-cd one month after GM without bugfix it's a crazy thing :) Live-cd it's becoming the most used media but opensuse live cd give a very bad impression to all project... I'll do more/better test in next days and I'll report all bugs.. Daniele. P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I hope it's understandable... -- *** Linux user # 198661 ---_ ICQ 33500725 *** *** Home http://www.kailed.net *** *** Powered by openSUSE *** --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] FOSDEM 2008
by Martin Lasarsch 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi We started last week the FOSDEM planing, so far we have some ideas about the talks and i try to get some money (i will keep you posted ...). We thought about topics which reflect successfull projects in openSUSE or areas where a lot of work going on right now. We just thought what would be interesting for the community. Everybody agreed that it would be nice to have more community talks, from the community, to the community ... here are some ideas: - Education - compiz fusion - openSUSE community (presentation of a local user group community member) - 1-Click - packman - the "other" site ... :-) (not limited to one site ...) - openSUSE board - KDE4 (maybe a combined talk with KDE members) - GNOME (for example accessibility) - php - openSUSE 11.0 - ATI driver - LTSP - product creator/KIWI - Laptop tracks This is not a schedule, nor is it fixed. Please add something if you have other ideas. We had this year 17 talks, should be in the same range ... If someone is interested to make a talk, this is the right thread for it. Booth: I guess it was quite good this year imho, i hope i can get again the large counters from Novell. Feel free to comment ... -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Application blacklist
by Josef Assad 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was wondering how this list was determined: http://en.opensuse.org/Application_Black_List Would it make sense to have some form of community process whereby applications are transparently evaluated? I understand that in all likelihood it is a SUSE/Novell consideration, which in itself is a good reason. But openSUSE is a global community, so it would probably help to be more clear about this. To take an example, as the page currently stands I'm guessing it reflects the various legal constraints in Germany and the US. Since that isn't called out, one could assume it meant software which is illegal anywhere. In Egypt, there's legislation on the books which imposes a blanket encryption ban (never mind whether it's applied or not), and that could certainly have changed the length of the Application Blacklist somewhat. :) JA - -- http://www.DonAssad.com jabber ID: josef.assad(a)gmail.com Please consider the environment; do you really need to print out this e-mail? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHSn7gFcf72sjD2+QRApy2AJ9D+ls6Usl9kD9a9nVWZhZlMdu+cQCfaurM hmO0zeJG1QvwrNQvuplOFKo= =i0OS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

by Christian Boltz 08 Nov '07

Hello, here's the status of Action Items after today's meeting. New Action Items: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #339796 - graphical headline on help.opensuse.org rlihm will make images with a graphical headline (in Cholla font) on help.opensuse.org, instead of just using a standard sans-serif. Work in progress: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #328622 - help.opensuse.org translations Today the spanish translation was added and is already online. This means there are translations for cz dk fr nl pt_BR de fi it pt ru and es now. Thanks to everybody who contributed a translation! #173 961 - openSUSE merchandising Work in Progress (ETA 16.11.07) There's still no decision what shop to use (candidates: cafepress.com and spreadshirt.net) both suck in term of prices. Coolo knows the finance director of spreadshirt and will talk to him next week - maybe they can do a special deal. #238350 - unmaintained wikis (is, es, vi) Martin has sent out a call for new maintainers on opensuse-announce today. Lets hope there are some volunteers ;-) AIs without news: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #328613 - Prepare explanation of Fate features and processses in the wiki Klaas had no time because he is busy with other things. #223290 - better wishlist handling using FATE Blocked by #328613 (FATE presentation) #328611 - Try out wishlist handling / feature tracking in the wiki Blocked by 328613 (FATE presentation) #229213 - clarify bugzilla usage for packages in build service Work in Progress (ETA: November) #164761 - built service trust/rating system Blocked (no time and resources ETA 2008) #238355 - status of cn wiki Blocked (No time) #293726 - Creation of Babel wiki Blocked (No time) #267437 - community comitee, @opensuse.org mail addresses etc. Blocked (by User Directory) Things that were done: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #164757 - SDB style guide / differences SDB, HOWTO The style guide with explanation of the differences is online: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB-Howto-FAQ Martin, thanks for writing this! Also thanks to JosefAssad for providing the nice flowchart. However, I have an improvement request: The last box sounds quite pessimistic. Maybe you can change the last sentence to something like "Place your article somewhere in the wiki where you think it fits." (No, english is not my native language, the wording should be improved.) #337563 - Create opensuse-translation-es mailing list #338958 - Add [opensuse-translation-es] to main list archive and #334142 - create opensuse-nl mailinglist Henne has created the opensuse-translation-es and opensuse-nl mailinglists.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE contributor survey
by janfst＠student.matnat.uio.no 06 Nov '07

06 Nov '07

Hello, My name is Jan Fredrik Stoveland, and I am a masters student at the University of Oslo writing a thesis on firm-sponsored open source communities. openSUSE is the main case for the study. I have been granted permission to send you this email by Andreas Jaeger and Martin Lasarch, and I hope you do not mind receiving it. I would like to ask all of the members of the this mailinglist to participate in a brief, anonymous electronic survey targeted at active contributors in the openSUSE community. The research is funded by the University, and is independent of any commercial interests. The link to the survey is here: https://nettskjema.uio.no/answer.html?fid=38823&lang=en I have selected these mailinglists as the main community indicator: project, factory, buildservice, wiki and translation. It is of great importance to get valid answers from as many of you as possible. The questions in the survey concern your current engagement in the openSUSE community, your reasons for participating in the community and your affiliation with Novell. I expect the survey will take you 10 minutes to complete, unless you find any questions difficult to answer. What do you get in return for doing this? The results from the survey will be posted to the list within a month, and the thesis with other interesting findings about your community will be published around May next year. Hopefully this will be of interest to you. But first of all I hope you will contribute for the sake of research itself. Not too much academic research has been done on communities that are facilitated by partially-proprietary companies like Novell. Furthermore, I would like to do an in depth interview on the phone with a few of you to get more detailed answers. I will randomly select about 6 people to talk to. In addition I would appreciate to talk to any people that have additional opinions. So if you have something more to say after completing the survey, please send me an email! Thank you very much for your help!

[opensuse-project] openSUSE GNOME meeting (2007/11/01)
by Rodrigo Moya 04 Nov '07

Bug plan: - Bug plan practically done - Plan on having bug topic days - All GNOME bugs need to be categorized (http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Bugs) - ...and people should continue voting for bugs, to help in prioritization - Need a way to get bugs fixed in released products that are not security or very important fixes but that the community people care about. AI: finish tagging bugs (federico and rodrigo) by Nov 9th AI: add 11.0 categorization for bugs Ancient distro bug squash: - http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/BugDays/20071102 Task review: - Code page needs to be written - Not much to do about the feature requests stuff, waiting for whole distro decisions - Add an ETA for all tasks - 10.3->G:S merging is done once a day manually, 10.2 nearly done - Glossary not started - pkg-buildrequires: - http://pack.suse.cz/sbrabec/pkg-buildrequires/ - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sbrabec/ - https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=home%3Asbrabec&package=pkg-… - Will review http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Gnome in next meeting - What about GNOME:BACKPORTS, like KDE has? AI: organize the tasks page (btimothy) Meeting format: - Dev/non-dev split is good - Time shift is a good idea, Asia/Oceania people could attend this one - Themes are good, will try with an Evo themed meeting AI: write out these decisions in http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Meetings (captain_magnus) -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo(a)novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
