[opensuse-project] Announcing the official openSUSE Forums
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

In order to provide a better service to the existing openSUSE Community and to our new users, we're pleased to announce that suseforums.net, suselinuxsupport.de and the openSUSE support forums at forums.novell.com (the three largest English-speaking, dedicated SUSE forums) are joining forces to merge into the new official openSUSE Forums at forums.opensuse.org. Behind the scenes, a project team consisting of Novell employees, openSUSE Community members, and existing forums' staff have been working on this project since the beginning of 2008. The new infrastructure will be hosted by Novell to ensure the highest possible quality of service. Current plans are to migrate the existing active members of suseforums.net and suselinuxsupport.de into the official openSUSE Forums, simultaneously implementing Single Sign On for the whole openSUSE Community. We hope to make the transition as seamless as possible, and will go live Spring 2008. More information will be posted as available. All in all, a big gain for the whole openSUSE Community! Best, Zonker -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager jzb(a)zonker.net http://zonker.opensuse.org/ http://www.dissociatedpress.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE GNOME meeting (2008/03/13)
by Rodrigo Moya 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Factory testing Only a few packages in the testing page, add things to test there (http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/11.0/Testing) Feedback for those packages in the form of bug reports Pulseaudio 0.9.9 got in yesterday, what to do with sound capplet? AI: cyberorg and rodrigo to add compiz/fusion to the Testing page AI: maw add pulseaudio to the list of platform packages on the spreadsheet File chooser hackweek Summary: http://www.gnome.org/~federico/news-2008-03.html#gtkfilechooser-bug-week-su… Fixed a bunch of usability bugs New tab completion code Backporting to 10.3/11.0 in progress Bug day Started out with 57 openSUSE10.2 gnome-related bugs, and now we are down to 26 (31 bugs resolved), the remaining bugs are 12 marked as NEEDINFO, 2 assigned, and the rest still unassigned Compiz/Xgl config New compiz being submitted to FACTORY AI: rodrigo to give some love to gnome-xgl-settings GTK+ hackfest Mixed feelings about a GTK+ 3.0 2 big things going on: introspection and GSettings/GVariant/DConf GVFS and WebKit also being discussed Task update Will continue with RTM for a little while, from Tasky RTM allows exporting, so with that we can sync to the wiki Bugzilla backend in Tasky for keeping the tasks there? A form on the wiki page? PackageKit New PK release hopefully today, with nice new features, like the update system will actually work now AI: sreeves Add PK to the testing page Patch upstreaming Going slow, but coordinated with 2.22.0 updates, so no stop Long term project, so just be sure you tag/upstream patches on the packages you submit Once all patches have been tagged, we need a way to reject patches without tags Be stricter in our changelog entries so as to reconstruct what the package was like before, but many changelogs don't fit that criterion AI: maw Investigate further how to be more picky about our checkins Policy Review and Pattern review days Policy review: the goal is to review all the changes in the default config we're doing Pattern review: the goal is to review what gets installed on a default openSUSE GNOME install AI: send mails soliciting feedback about our Desktop and Pattern policies -- 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

They could be at i.e. planetsuse.org/YaST as mentioned before. For example, there's Planet KDE but there's also a Planet Amarok, or Planet GNOME and Planet Banshee (or at least there was). This way you avoid having to post the same post in two places, and you still have the specialisation there for when you want/need it.

[opensuse-project] Board Meeting Postponed, Delay with Membership Applications
by Francis Giannaros 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

We regret to inform you that we have had to cancel today's board meeting because a couple of us cannot make it, so we're postponing it until at least next week. This also means there will be a delay with responses to membership applications, so we apologise about this!
