[opensuse-project] talk at or visit Linux Open Administration Days

by Jos Poortvliet

Hi all, April 16-17 in Antwerp, Belgium, the Linux Open Administration Days will take place. This free event offers a chance for LPI certification as well as meeting and talking to linux sysadmins. There is a call for presentations here: http://www.loadays.org/content/call-presentations If you want to go and give a talk there about openSUSE tech - that's be awesome. If you can't afford to go there due to travel or hotel costs, let me know, we might be able to work something out ;-) cheers, Jos

[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] GsoC Weekly Report - "Separating libYUI"

by N.B.Prashanth

Hi, I would like to summarize my progress so far. I am working on the libYUI project as mentioned above. 1. libYUI and all three UI plugins (Qt, ncurses and GTK) have been ported to target systems (Fedora and Ubuntu). 2. The git repository at gitorious.org/libyui/libyui has been removed. This will be replaced with the official YUI svn repo once the conversion is complete. The old repo can be found at gitorious.org/libyui/gsoc2011 and will contain files related to my project. 3. Builds now make use of OBS. The download repository can be found at : http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/nbprashanth/ . Currently build targets are Ubuntu (10.10 & 11.04), Fedora (14 & 15) and Debian 6. 4. GTK plugin no longer has libzypp as a dependency and can hence be ported. 5. Due to CMake issues on Ubuntu 11.04 with the GTK CMake module (Bug report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cmake/+bug/751940 ), builds using CMake have failed. Moreover, the default install location for gdk-pixbuf on F14 and F15 are different which caused the GTK plugin build to fail on F14 as well. 6. I have converted the GTK plugin to use autotools as opposed to CMake. This has made it compile successfully in Ubuntu 11.04 using pkg-config and I hope, it will compile of F14 as well. I will be updating the GTK package on OBS this week. 7. Documentation for libyui is now online and can be found at :http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/libyui/HEAD/ . This is an initial version and improvements may be expected in near future. The absolute path issue is now fixed. 8. Examples, update for YUI and full GsoC reports are also updated on my blog which can be found at : http://nbprashanth.wordpress.com/ . My last weeks GsoC report (GsoC Report - 3) can be found at : http://nbprashanth.wordpress.com/2011/06/27/gsoc-report-%E2%80%93-3/ 9. Patches for minor bugs such as "long long warnings" have been made. Not integrated upstream yet. 10. If anyone happens to test any of the YUI packages at OBS and finds a bug, please send me an email or leave a comment on the blog. -- Regards, N.B.Prashanth -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Strategy voting reminder!

by Jos Poortvliet

Hi all! In 3 days, the voting for the openSUSE strategy has to be done. We've had only about 1/5th of our members vote and that's not a lot. Now I know we don't have any way to check if members are still very active so maybe most are not. But if you are, please, vote! Find the last article from news.o.o here: http://bit.ly/iB2Dzh And a direct link to voting: http://bit.ly/kZaAC2 You just have to log in with your connect account and VOTE! For 2 years people have been asking 'what does openSUSE want'. We tried to put that in the strategy. Ok, it is not perfect, but that is because we didn't appoint someone to tell us what we want but because we *asked*. And then, yes, you get compromise. Anything bad in there is there either because you didn't speak up (tssss bad bad) or the majority disagreed with you. And that is how it SHOULD work. It is what sets us apart from the other major distributions - we have no dictator or 'steering group'. But democracy also comes with responsibilities - voting! Now, enact your democratic duty, here: http://bit.ly/kZaAC2 Cheers, Jos
