[opensuse-project] IPv6 World Day 2011 Participation: help needed
by Lars Vogdt 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hi @ll You might already be aware of the fact that openSUSE participates at the world IPv6 day (if not: now you are ;-) at 8 June 2011. My team and others are currently working hard to bring _every_ service up and running starting with this day (some are already done, but others need to follow). To be listed on http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/, Phil Roberts from ISOC asks us if we can provide some webpage or a blog entry describing why IPv6 is important for us. It's optional, but I hope there's someone who can help us with this? A wiki page on http://en.opensuse.org would be absolutely ok. Thanks in advance and with kind regards, Lars I agree with #1 with DIptos's addition. Same goes for #2, I agree that we should have some kind of statement at the TAG level. Dave >>> Dipto Chakravarty 5/21/11 11:37 AM >>> Allen, 1. Also, netiq.com 2. Yes, an IPv6 statement from TAG level should work. Our sr staff and I can help create the IPv6 content if someone can provide the mkt PoC. FYI, I am in BLR this week but should be able to work with you to publish this statement. best, dipto Dipto Chakravarty --Sent from my BB-- -----Original Message----- From: Allen Frost Cc: Michael Deis <MDeis(a)novell.com> Cc: Christian Deckelmann <deckel(a)novell.com> To: Steve Carter <SRCARTER(a)novell.com> To: Bill Harris <BIHARRIS(a)novell.com> To: Dave Wilkes <Dave.Wilkes(a)novell.com> To: Dipto Chakravarty <Dipto(a)novell.com> To: Israel BenIshai <Israel.BenIshai(a)novell.com> Cc: Ed Brown <Ed.Brown(a)netiq.com> Cc: Richard Getteau <Richard.Getteau(a)netiq.com> To: Dohsung Yum <Dohsung.Yum(a)netiq.com> To: Lars Vogdt <lrupp(a)suse.de> Sent: 5/20/2011 2:34:26 PM Subject: Fwd: Re: IPv6 World Day 2011 Participation Hi All, I need to reply back to Phil from ISOC and the questions below. Thoughts? 1. How should I list you? Novell Inc. (suse.org; novell.com) 2. Do we want to put something on WWW sites with a statement about IPv6? Thanks, Allen >>> Phil Roberts <roberts(a)isoc.org> 4/6/2011 10:53 AM >>> Hi Allen, This is great! I'll need a little additional info. How should I list you? Novell Inc. (suse.org; novell.com) I'll need contact info for a network engineer as a point of contact for any issues that come up and to send any reminders to leading up to the event. Also, many participants are creating a page on their website or a blog entry describing why IPv6 is important to their business. It's optional, but if you do, I'd like to link to it from your name on the list of participants. Regards, Phil Allen Frost wrote: > Hi, > > Novell is making an effort to participate in IPv6 Day.

Re: [opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money
by Alan Clark 17 May '11

17 May '11

Looks like we have 3 very good proposals on the table: 1) purchasing SSDs for OBS 2) a Packman server. 3) use the money to sponsor our mentors to come to the openSUSE conference... > Then put the proposals up and have a members only vote. (I do think > this should be members only.) I'd like the Mentors to weigh in with their preferences since the money will be a result of their efforts.

[opensuse-project] Need Lizards for FrosCon 2011
by Jan Krings 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hey Lizards, on August 20th/21th, there is the "Free and Open Source Software Conference" in St. Augustin near Cologne (Germany). Until now, without openSUSE. I have no problem to organize the booth, but atm. I'm the only person from the openSUSE Community, who want to go to the FrosCon. And alone, it makes no sense. The deadline for the Call of Projects is the 23th May 2011. So we have not much time to decided if there is a openSUSE booth or not. If there is another person who wants to helps me I'm happy. More are of course better. http://www.froscon.de/index.php?id=41&mid=154&ret=15&L=1&L=1 Greets Jan Krings -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Conference 2011 CfP open!
by Jos Poortvliet 16 May '11

16 May '11

Dear friends, On Sunday the 11th of September it will be that time again: the openSUSE Conference starts. And of course we want an exciting program. Today, the proposal submission time starts and you have until July 11th to let us know what you want to discuss at the conference! The openSUSE Conference 2011 will happen from Sunday 11th to Wednesday 14th of September in Nuremberg, Germany. This date shouldn’t conflict with too many other conferences. We’ll be open for registration and a pre-party on Saturday night! The website on conference.opensuse.org is being updated still and we’ll let you know once you can register. We expect about 500 visitors this year and hence had to find a new location. A perfect spot was found in a previous industrial complex from AEG named ‘Zentrifuge‘. This cultural center might not be the ‘usual’ space for an IT conference but offers a very creative and open space, currently used for art and music. Exactly right for the openSUSE Free Software gathering! The committee is looking for a wide range of talks and sessions from Free Software contributors, however openSUSE related topics are obviously our focus. To simplify the wide range of activities one could plan, we have created three different sessions following the Read/Write/Execute theme. For Read-Only there are talks with the traditional slides and 5-10 minutes Q&A at the end. For Write there are the BOF sessions where discussions can take place. Finally, in Workshops the Execute bit can be set! Each session will last 40 minutes but for complicated subjects it is perfectly OK to ask for 2 consecutive or non-consecutive discussion or workshop slots! For more information about the format and how to give a talk, organize a Discussion/BOF or give a workshop, please refer to our guidelines for speakers[1]. Authors are also advised to consult the code of conduct[2] before submitting their paper. [1]http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_Planning_2011_guidelines_for_s… [2]http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Code_of_Conduct The proposals can be submitted to cfp(a)opensuse.org Deadline for the submission is July 11th 2011. We look forward to your proposals! Cheers, The oSC 2011 Paper Committee
