[opensuse-project] [gsoc2011] PackageKit, AppStream and openSUSE integration for Software Center

by Alex Eftimie

Hi everyone, I'm happy and a bit late to announce that my proposal, PackageKit and AppStream integration for Software Center has been accepted as a openSUSE GSoC project this summer. I'm planning to work incrementally, first by getting rid of ubuntu specific bits in s-c, then by abstracting backend classes, wrapping the pk API, and then adding new code/features, as described here: http://swarm.cs.pub.ro/~alexef/gsoc/proposal.html Your feedback is welcome!

[opensuse-project] GSoC 2011: Bug reporting tool.

by Mihnea Dobrescu-Balaur

Hello, I'm applying at this year's GSoC to work on the bug reporting tool [0]. I've made my list of features to implement but, before I finalized my proposal, I thought it would be a good idea to ask you, guys: Is there's any particular feature that you wish to find in the openSUSE bug reporting tool? Thank you!

[opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money

by Vincent Untz

Hi, (let's see how a public discussion about money goes :-)) The Google Summer of Code brings us great students, but also means that the openSUSE project will get $8000 (if I'm not mistaken) at the end of the summer. That's $500 per student. A while ago, I requested comments on my blog about what to do with the money, but didn't get any feedback. So I take this as "do what you feel is best", and this mail is about the plan. As a reminder, the main issue is that we will likely not have the openSUSE Foundation created in time for this. For instance, Google would like us to get some form filled before the end of June; this is not a mandatory timeline, but I think it shows that we won't be ready with the Foundation for that. The current plan is to give that money to another organization we feel close to, and I have two candidates in mind: - the Software Freedom Conservancy (http://sfconservancy.org/): it's a really nice org that provides a home for various cool projects (see http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/), and those projects help make openSUSE a great project. - the Desktop Summit (https://www.desktopsummit.org/): it's one of the biggest event this year, and this would help us have some more visibility (since we'd be sponsors, I guess). I'm sure they would welcome this to secure their budget. Note that an alternative solution would be to leave the money to Google for a future GSoC or similar program, but I feel it's better to use the money where it can make a difference today. Now, it's not too late to change the plan. If you have a better suggestion, please tell us. There's no need to argue forever about it, just explain why you think it's good. Keep in mind that if we cannot receive the money ourselves, this also means that we cannot use it to buy stuff for openSUSE. Pavol and I will take the final decision since we are the GSoC admins for openSUSE.

[opensuse-project] Proposal for adapting the trademark guidelines

by Cornelius Schumacher

We had a couple of discussions in the past about how to improve the openSUSE trademark guidelines (see e.g. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Trademark_guidelines or https://features.opensuse.org/311039). One of the main issues with the current guidelines is that it's very strict about derivatives, and doesn't easily allow people using openSUSE as a base for their own systems, to keep a visible association with openSUSE. So attached is a proposal how to adapt the trademark guidelines and provide a better solution to this issue. It also contains a few smaller clarifications. It's based on the input I was able to gather from the Wiki, openFATE, mailing lists and some personal feedback. It's a draft, so feedback is welcome. The central change is to allow people to create variants of openSUSE and use a "Based on openSUSE" branding under more liberal conditions than now. We would provide a specific branding for that, which keeps the relation to openSUSE, but is done in a way to not be confused with the branding of the official openSUSE distribution. Technically this would be a set of branding packages, which can be used instead of the default branding of the official distribution. Please let me know, if there is additional feedback on the proposed changes, so we can incorporate that, and then move forward with getting the needed approvals to officially adopt the improved guidelines. In parallel to that we can look into doing the proposed branding packages. Attached is the proposed text for the revised guidelines, and the diff to the current official version. -- Cornelius Schumacher <cschum(a)suse.de>

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] osc code cleanup

by Marcus Hüwe

Hi, this is a short summary of this week: * published proposal of the new user interface: we got some really constructive feedback (see [1]) The next task is to create model classes which represent a project, package, request etc. This way we can modify the package metadata (for instance) in a object orientated manner. Our plan is to write tests first and afterwards we start with the implementation (TDD).

Do you (or someone other) have a list of our students, so that I can easier contact them? I will publish the interview with Jeff Mahoney as soon as possible and try to contact some students in the next time. I cc´ed opensuse-project and if anyone is interesting in interviewing some students, just goahead and do your interviews! If it´s necessary, I will help you coordinating it on this thread. ;) I published the questions here: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE_question_sheet and can make a cross to my to-do-list now, because I wanted to do it so many times before but ever forget it...
