[opensuse-project] help us to finish that feature guide!!!

by Jos Poortvliet

Hi all, The openSUSE 11.4 feature guide is almost done but there are a few sections yellow - they need help. This includes security, server and network related stuff, most of it is on the bottom of the document*. Anyone with some time to spare: PLEASE have a look at this, 10 minutes can make a huge difference! If you change anything, put your name in the author list too :D https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ApIe- wzRQDEyGtoq82BZ8aakAd3a7ZZObIZlj3p1tQk/edit?hl=en&authkey=CO7y4kU This document will be send to journalists on Monday evening so they can prepare for the release; it will form the basis of the release announcement we hope to finish on Tuesday; and we'll fill it up with screenshots then put it on the wiki to show the world how much cool stuff openSUSE 11.4 ships :D So it really deserves some attention, help your tired marketing team out! cheers, Jos

[opensuse-project] Fwd: [opensuse-marketing] Time to get social. Help promote openSUSE 11.4.

by Chuck Payne

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chuck Payne <terrorpup(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Mar 7, 2011 at 3:22 PM Subject: [opensuse-marketing] Time to get social. Help promote openSUSE 11.4. To: openSUSE Marketing <opensuse-marketing(a)opensuse.org> Cc: opensuse-ambassadors(a)opensuse.org Lady and Gentlemen, On March 10th it time to get Social. It's time to take a moment and help promote the release of openSUSE 11.4 to the massess. So we are asking all members to help promote openSUSE 11.4 via the social networks. Via Facebook, MySpace, Twitter/Identi.ca/FriendFeed/Google Buzz, and Linked/Xing. I will also like to ask that you help vote openSUSE 11. on Free Software Daily (Link to come on Thrusday) On Facebook we asked that you share the news from the two openSUSE groups. We are also willing to post your news on to those pages. Anything to get the news out. We will asked everyone to help us get the word out on Identica/Twitter/FriendFeed. We will be using the hash tag #opensuse. We asked that if you can please retweet, doesn't have to be right away, but if you wait 10 to 20 minutes from the last retwit that would be great. We like to get on the front of twitter home page. We know that some of you don't use twitter so you use one of the above, it would be great to get top of those services as well. If you don't mind posting new on your LinkedIn or Xing account as well, that would be prefect. The key is to use these Social Networks to help promote the release of openSUSE 11.4. We have a ton of members world wide. Post in English and Posted in your native tongue. I really like to see on the openSUSE Facebook page, stuff in other languages so that we can show all on Facebook that we have a very large openSUSE Community. To all the ambassador, now is your time to do your job and promote, promote, and promote. Please if I forgot your favorite Social Network group, please let me know. Lets make March 10th, a truly get openSUSE Release Day. (PS. Sorry for the cross posting, you can give me lashes after March 10th, but I want to make sure everyone gets this. ) -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-project] FYI, see to be a bad package

by Chuck Payne

Guys, Not sure if I am where I am pulling this, if I had to guess maybe Packman, but it causing some issues with updating...

[opensuse-project] Packman: broken repository metadata

by Pascal Bleser

We hope to resolve the matter tonight, but right now, the repository metadata (repodata/) of the individual repositories (Essentials, Multimedia, Extra and Games) is broken because it is not updated correctly. In the mean time, if you can't wait ;), please use the "top-level"/"big" repositories instead, they're fine. To be precise: don't use e.g. http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.3/Essentials but use http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.3 Sorry for the inconvenience :\ cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf

[opensuse-project] Removing openSUSE 11.1 Packman repositories

by Pascal Bleser

We're going to remove the openSUSE 11.1 Packman repositories from our primary server and, hence, also our mirrors [1]. If you would like to keep a copy (for whatever reason, as they're unmaintained), make sure to pull the tree BEFORE MONDAY (2011-02-28). The reason, obviously, is that openSUSE 11.1 has gone End-Of-Life since mid-January [2], and as we're restructuring our repositories [3], we do need quite some extra space right now and don't want to put too much of a burden on our mirrors (there are a few rsync mirrors in there too). [1]Packman mirrors: http://packman.links2linux.de/MIRRORS.html [2]11.1=EOL:http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2011-01/msg… [3]http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2011/02/packman-service-interruption-and.html [4]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rsync cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser <pascal.bleser(a)opensuse.org> /\\ http://opensuse.org -- I took the green pill _\_v FOSDEM XI: 5 + 6 Feb 2011, http://fosdem.org

[opensuse-project] Launch Parties

by Henne Vogelsang

Hey, we in Nuremberg organize a release party on March the 16th and as I prepare the wiki pages, poster and such I wondered where else we have release parties. There are a couple of them on the page http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Launch_parties but that can't be all. Where are all the party people at? :) I would also like to write a nice article on news.o.o for the release phase about all the opportunities to meet up with other lizards to have fun! So please let me and everybody else know if you haven't yet! Henne p.s. Oh and if you need help organizing one contact our awesome marketing team! -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

[opensuse-project] Keys to Social APIs, who should generate them

by Andrew Wafaa

Greetings my fellow lizards, GNOME3 (and potential KDE?) includes libsocialweb, a social data aggregator that was used by MeeGo to provide the Social Services. It has now moved home from under the banner of MeeGo, to under the banner of GNOME. From the outset, the distributor would need to generate the relevant API keys - this is something that I did when I packaged up Smeegol. The question I have is, now that it is no longer being going to be rolled out as part of Smeegol but openSUSE proper, who should be responsible for the keys? Should it be Novell, Non-Novell, or a team that comprises a mix of both, like say the GNOME team or similar? There are six (6) keys that need to be generated/maintained/managed: Twitter, Facbook, Last.fm, Flickr, Digg, MySpace The reason for asking is that someone needs to be responsible for any misuse, updates, changes etc as required by the service.

[opensuse-project] Rally for 11.4! openSUSE Needs YOU!

by Bryen M. Yunashko

Folks, We're just days away from the release of the much anticipated openSUSE 11.4 on March 10th. Everyone raise your hand in the air and start chanting the openSUSE Song! Okay, we don't have an actual song, but maybe we could do the openSUSE Geeko Dance some of us tried to create at the Marketing Hackfest :-) But we still have a lot of work to do as we enter this final weekend before release day. We have compiled a checklist at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Launch_Checklist . Please take a moment to look through the list and if you see something interesting to do, claim it and complete it. Or if you see something already claimed by someone else, and you'd like to help out, let that person know. openSUSE Project truly appreciates your help in advance and we're all looking forward to what promises to be a great release cycle!
