Hello,
I'm 4th grade student at Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University,
Brno, Czech Republic.
I have some skills in C++(Qt/KDE), java(SE, EE) and PHP development.
I've already developed a Qt app (or better to say rafactorized,
edited, rewrited, ...) kiosktool as part of my bachelor thesis (Kiosk
framework in KDE4). During the work on bachelor thesis i've met a lot
of technologies - KDE, Qt, D-Bus and so on and I want to continue with
exploring the world of linux, KDE, openSUSE, etc and GSoC is the ideal
opportunity for me. Especially in cooperation with SUSE as openSUSE is
my one and only distro for few years.
I want now to participate in its development... I want to do
something, that others will be using (same motivation as i have
choosen the bachelor thesis with cooperation with Red Hat).
I think, that the "Beautiful one-click-install" has ideal ratio
"knowledge I have"/"knowledge i want to have" and it would be a great
opportunity to fit into open-source community.
The next step is writing an application to GSoC (ASAP), where some
help would be appreciated. As I have mentioned before, I have some
minor skill in Qt development. Now I have to read something more about
packaging systems, zypper (libzypper), package kit, etc.
The mockup shown in openFATE (https://features.opensuse.org/309503) is
a great pice of work and I'd love to realize it.
Thanks for all responses.

So please contact me off list if any one is interested in joining with

The job is to read my talk to the audience with proper knowledge on

I ll help my best and send all the necessary details. Therefore it is
not a hard thing.
The paper is about "Community based FOSS business model", please let

Hi,
I'm eager to work on <Creating a browser-based user interface
testsuite> idea and I have lots of relevant experience. The
information about this task doesn't seem enough to write a detailed
proposal.
So where can I find some more info?
Thanks a lot!

Hello openSUSE community,
I've finally managed to find the problem I've been having with the
list denying my messages. Gmail had my default settings set to rich
formatting (HTML messages) which triggered the automated deny...
So let me introduce myself. My name is Bojan Ilievski, and I am a
student in fourth year on the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and
Information Technologies - Informatics and Computer Engineering, in
Skopje, Macedonia. I have used openSUSE for a while now, starting with
SUSE 6 or 7, long time ago, in my faculty labs, and later openSUSE 10,
11.0, 11.2 (home - Desktop PC), now I think I will update to openSUSE
11.4 soon, and I would like to join the community.
I'm interested in programming, especially mobile application
programming, and currently I'm attending a course in J2ME MIDP, and
Android, and I would like to continue working in that field. Up until
now, I've had experience in bash script programming, even device
driver programming (beginner level). I am also a recent full time
GNU/Linux user with some administrative knowledge. On the other side,
I have published only one Android application on github
(http://github.com/Drakuwa/aBusTripMK) under GPLv3, but, it is in
Macedonian, and I soon plan to translate it in English. I could
publish a couple more applications, but currently I am studying for
exams.
I think GSoC is a great opportunity for students like me, to learn and
earn :)) Well, I have to be honest, I need the money, because our
financial situation is quite bad, and I could use the money to pay for
master studies. I have seen the ideas you proposed, and I think
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_2011_Ideas#Cross_Platform_Bug_Tracker_…
is the one I would like to work on, especially the Android part. I
could do some work on the application interface, and, I don't know,
you name it. Why me? Well, first of all, I like to learn new things, I
like to work hard, and I do not give up easily.
I hope you will consider me, even though I'm with beginner, maybe at
some point to intermediate knowledge in the field, but that's the
required skill for the idea, and I really would like to get better.
Could you please tell me what should I do next, and please ask for any
other information you require.
Thank you in advance,
Bojan Ilievski

We had this week a discussion on IRC on how to name the next release
and I took the action item to do a poll on connect.opensuse.org now to
help us solve the naming of openSUSE distribution releases.
openSUSE does not have a major and minor numbering, even if it seems
so. There is right now no difference in any way between what we would
do for openSUSE 11.4 or 12.0 - and no sense to speak about openSUSE 11
or openSUSE 11 family. We also have no process on how to name the next
release (when to increase which parts of the number).
Here are some options, if I miss some, please tell me and I will then
soon setup a poll. I'm listening the next version we would use as well
as how the following would be called as an example. Remember we have
releases every 8 months, so the next releases are: November 2011, July
2012, March 2013, November 2013, July 2014, March 2015.
Options:
1. "old school": The same we do right now but let's decide when to
change the right number: we count it always until 3.
Next release is 12.0.
Following releases: 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 13.0
2. "Fedora style": Just integers.
Next release is: 12
Following release: 13, 14, 15
3. "Mandriva style": YYYY.counter (4 digit year, counter starts a 0)
Next release is: 2011.1
Following releases: 2012.0, 2013.0, 2013.1, 2014.0, 2015.1
4. "Ubuntu style": YY.MM (2 digit year, 2 digit month)
Next release is: 11.11
Following releases: 12.07, 13.03, 13.11, 14.07, 15.03
5. "Ubuntu style variation": YYYY-MM (4 digit year, 2 digit month)
Next release is: 2011-11
Following releases are: 2012-07, 2013-03, 2013-11, 2014-07, 2015-03
6. "octal": Coolo came up with calling the next release "o 12" and
then proposed to go octal (so 012). We decided to start with 012
even if that 10 in decimal.
Next release is: 012
Following releases: 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, 020
7. "Seasons": "Season YYYY" since March is in spring, July in summer,
and November is in autumn.
Next release is: Autumn 2011
Following releases: Summer 2012, Spring 2013, Autumn 2013, Summer
2014
Anything else I should add to the list above?

Hey all;
Students who want to apply for GSOC 2011 should take a moment and read
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/03/dos-and-donts-of-google-summe…
. It is worth the time.

Hi,
My name is Priyanka.
I am a B.Tech (Computer Science & Engineering) student at Banasthali
University, India.
I like Open Source technologies, and am particularly fond of PHP &
Ruby-on-Rails. Though I have not took part in an open source code
sprint like this before, but I have been trying to get my hands dirty
at openhatch. I am aware and comfortable with the basic etiquettes of
coding, committing, etc.
I am an eager to take part in GSoC with OpenSUSE. Today, I pointed out
a bug in the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) [0] (which was eventually
resolved by Sascha Peilicke). I like to illustrate with examples, and
hence am currently trying to build a prototype for the ideas chosen by
me.
Hoping to learn and help the community this summer!
Cheers,
Priyanka Menghani

Our legal folks send me an update of the openSUSE "EULA" which makes it even
smaller ;)
Here's the explanation:
"I've attached the openSUSE 11.4 license in redline format. The proposed
changes are explained by my comments on the right. The changes makes a few
clarifications and remove an unnecessary reporting burden that no longer
applies to openSUSE."
I like the changes, so if nobody sees any problems with them, I'll go ahead
and change the EULA.
I have attached a LibreOffice document with the proposal,
Andreas
