[opensuse-project] Volunteers for openSUSE board election committee wanted
by Andreas Jaeger 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

The board has approved the openSUSE board election proposal as written up on this list http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2008-03/msg00252.html with the change that for now the board will do the membership approval, the details are now in the wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/Board/Election. We discussed the membership approval and consider that right now a task for the board - and not a burden - and also do not want to give the election committee too much work. We're now asking for volunteers for the openSUSE election team to drive the election process. The members of the election team have the following duty: * Drive the openSUSE board elections - this means the complete process starting by collecting volunteers, deciding on how to do the voting, driving the setup of any tools for the voting, announcing the election and results. Note: Members of the election team will not be able to stand up for the openSUSE board election themselves. If you're interested, please mail the openSUSE board at board(a)opensuse.org, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

[opensuse-project] openSUSE GNOME meeting (2008/05/22)
by Rodrigo Moya 22 May '08

22 May '08

Introduction March to RC1 almost complete 11.1 alpha0 2 weeks after 11.0 Factory testing discussion Kernel bug very annoying ACPI brekage on post-beta 3 Under prioritized bugs Today's openSUSE bug voting day http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Bugs contains links to queries based on voting AI: (everyone) vote for bugs Schedule 10.3 bug squash 10.2 and older bugs have been squashed AI: hobbsc to set up http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/BugDays , find a date and run the 10.3 squash Community outreach/clinic/howto Looking for new ways to increase community involvement/awareness Weekly meetings in the channel covering various topics of interest to users, trying to make them a collaborative effort, where users can talk about their needs Write HOWTO's out of those meetings AI: suseROCKS and captain_magnus to get the ball rolling on this next week Pulseaudio gnome-applets patched to run PA volume control, and is now included in the panel by default Discussion going on opensuse-gnome about what to do with padevchooser PackageKit Should all be ok for Friday's RC1 submission date Zypper sometimes shows lots of updates but then does not update anything Multi-head wrap-up We can't get rid of resapplet for 11.0, as right now it's the only way we have to do rotation easily for tablets X drivers are a total mess, and SaX doesn't help with setting up an xorg.conf that is friendly to doing RANDR changes dynamically Other distros not using resapplet The recommendation now is: • use gnome-display-properties to set up your multihead setup, *after* reading the caveats in the wiki (http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Multiscreen) • use resapplet just to rotate if you are on a tablet Theme meetings We need to get back on track with these What technical topics do we want to cover? -> X, kiwi ? , GNOME / KDE cooperation -- 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
