[opensuse-project] Klaus Singvogel email
by Cristian Morales Vega 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Klaus Singvogel, cups mantainer... changelogs says "<at>suse.de", but doesn't works; "<at>novell.com" neither works... and the BS says "kssingvo@please-enter-an-email-address". Ok, I didn't tried the last one, but... how one contacts with him? I must say, in general, we have a problem with emails. Isn't the first time I have problems finding the contact info of someone... and I think bugzilla still doesn't recognises @suse.de emails while people uses it in changelogs. And that's a problem you face when you search the email from a username... once you know the username. openSUSE:Factory/cups meta says "mlschroe" is the mantainer, and Printing/cups says the mantainer is kssingvo... but the bugowner jsmeix (bugowner != mantainer???). Right now the BS web interface seems to be the better source for this info. But I don't think you can retrieve the same info from osc (it gives the username, no the email). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] LinuxTag 2009 pictures
by Adrian Schröter 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi, Some LinuxTag 2009 pictures are available now at http://gallery.opensuse.org/linuxtag2009/ It was a bit smaller this year, but our talk rooms were still crowded when we talked about upcomming openSUSE 11.2. Also the wine talk from Marcus Meissner , the Multimedia Box talk from Henne and the AppArmor talk from Christian Boltz were very good visited (people were standing in the back as well). Apart from that the usual support questions were handled, openSUSE Build Service and SUSE Studio were presented at the booth. So, thank you LinuxTag people, it was a nice event as usual :) bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian(a)suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] XMind package
by Andreas Marschke 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

Hi I've seen this program here on somemaggazines here in germany and i seems like its pretty good. The ony thingwith it is that you would need an account though we we could work around this by adding a standard opensuse account there rthat we access it through and might gert those packages into the build service? http://www.xmind.net/ http://www.xmind.net/downloads/ Dependancy as os the webpage * GTK * Some features need lame(http://lame.sourceforge.net/). * Only Sun JRE/OpenJDK/IBM JRE/BEA JRockit are supported. Don't use unsupported JVM. I could see if i can get better details by dissecting the deb files they offer. But there are _no_ rpms (yet?)

by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 29 Jun '09

29 Jun '09

The openSUSE Project is pleased to announce the release of openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 3. Images are ready for download[1] and testing. This release includes the 2.6.30 Linux kernel, KDE 4.3 beta 2, GNOME 2.27.2, OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 Alpha, and more! This is a **Milestone Release**, one of several leading up to the 11.2 release[2] in November. It may not be suitable for production systems, but should be stable enough for testing. Screenshots of the milestone releases and factory development can be found (or added) on the wiki[3]. Changes Since openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 ======================================== A lot has changed since the M2 release, and many packages have been updated for 11.2 M3. Some of the major changes in this release include: * Linux kernel 2.6.30 * GNOME 2.27.2 * KDE 4.3 beta 2 * PulseAudio 0.9.15 * Konversation 1.2 Alpha 3 * VirtualBox 2.2.4 * Wine 1.1.23 * OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 Alpha See the openSUSE Wiki for additional changes[4] in 11.2 Milestone 3. You can see the latest packages in Factory on DistroWatch[5], which tracks 203 major packages in openSUSE. Getting Milestone 3 =================== The latest development versions are available from software.opensuse.org/developer Choose from x86 or x86-64 install DVDs or the KDE and GNOME Live CDs. Testing ======= Help us make openSUSE 11.2 the best release yet! Please run the release through your usual routine, and let us know about any bugs or other issues that you find. Remember that this is a milestone release, and is not suitable for use on production systems. Though many openSUSE users can and do use the Factory distribution and/or testing releases for day-to-day work we want to stress that it’s entirely possible that you will encounter serious bugs. See openSUSE.org/Testing for more information on Testing. To follow the testing and development process, we suggest that you subscribe to the openSUSE-Factory mailing list, and join the #openSUSE-Factory channel on Freenode to discuss openSUSE development.

[opensuse-project] IFUP verses NetworkManager.
by James Tremblay aka SLEducator 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hey guys, Would it be possible to separate how each card is set to start? I am always using the AMP stack for applications on my laptop and I very much enjoy the Network manager. However there are many little problems associated with running the AMP stack in this manor. Could an adjustment to the "Network Devices" utility be made to handle each device in a separate manor? I.E. the on-board twisted pair connection be IFUP and the wireless be NetworkManager. if not can the network manager be added to the wireless NIC after IFUP is Enabled? -- James A.

[opensuse-project] Resigning from the Board, ceding my post to Stephen Shaw
by Federico Mena Quintero 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Dear fellow lizards, As you know, I have been part of the openSUSE Board for a few months now, thanks to your kind election. However, work and other duties have kept me too busy to be a useful part of the Board. I would like to step back from my duties in the Board, and cede my post to Stephen Shaw (known as decriptor on IRC). Stephen has been very active in the openSUSE community, and I am sure that he will be a much better Board member than myself. However, this does not mean that I will stop working on openSUSE! I am part of the openSUSE-GNOME team, and will keep working happily on the technical side of things there. Please welcome Stephen as the new Board member, and thanks for all, Federico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Meeting Minutes openSUSE Board Meeting, May 20 2009
by Michael Loeffler 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Please see below the Meeting Minutes of the openSUSE Board. We welcome any feedback and recommend to use the opensuse-project mailing list so more people can participate. As always the openSUSE Board is reachable through board(a)openSUSE.org May 20, 7-9pm UTC Participants: Michael Löffler (michl) Bryen Yunashko (suseROCKs) Pascal Bleser (yaloki) List of topics: *Foundation We'll investigate more into the creation of an openSUSE foundation. We reached out already to Novell how they feel about and received positive feedback. The foundation at the beginning should be a more independent body then openSUSE is today and should make it easier to collect donations in a transparent way to use directly for community efforts. *Expanse spotlight.o.o to Board Members All openSUSE Board members will have access to spotlight.opensuse.org to post/blog there. *openSUSE Membership requests The membership requests still are a pretty manual process. We imported out of users.opensuse.org another bunch of requests and are in the process of evaluation. But we need to admit we could have been faster with that. *Status of "ambassador program" The Ambassador program will be announced soon by zonker (meanwhile happened *Add features to openFATE without being member? During community week the request was stated several times to make it possible to add new features for non-members as well. We had a discussion about it and the Board recommends to make this request happen as we think there are more up then down sides.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Conference open day
by Klaas Freitag 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi, I was wondering how the openSUSE open day should work (saturday of the conference). Who is the intended group of people to come? I assume it wil be nuernberg local people interested in Linux, either already using openSUSE or candidates to do so. Are talks on the open day in german? How do we want to advertise that special sub event 'open day'? I would suggest to print posters and place these at schools, universities in Nuernberg.

[opensuse-project] Reminder: openSUSE Conference Call for Participation Deadline June 5
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

The deadline for the openSUSE Conference call for participation is coming up pretty rapidly -- Friday, June 5th is the last day to submit a proposal. We're looking for contributors to openSUSE, upstream projects, and members of the openSUSE community to participate[1]. The summit will be an opportunity to bring the openSUSE contributor community together to share ideas, experience, hack, and help guide the direction of the project. So we're looking to members of the community to give presentations, tutorials, and lead birds of a feather and panel sessions in several tracks: * Community: Marketing, translations, wiki, documentation, forums, and openSUSE governance. * Desktop: Topics related to the openSUSE desktop, including KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and applications. * Server: Use of openSUSE on the server or development of server applications. * Toolchain and System: The kernel, YaST, packaging, and openSUSE Build Service. * Open Day: Saturday will include a track for openSUSE users and people new to Linux. If you're interested in presenting at the openSUSE Summit, fill out the Call for Participation Form[2] with all of the details for your participation. We're accepting talks, tutorials, birds of a feather, and panel discussion submissions. (Birds of feather sessions will be scheduled after hours.) The summit will not be entirely composed of prepared presentations, so we will be accepting a limited number of proposals. Make 'em count!
