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
Hi,
I'm working on the command line client for Suse Studio(ssc) project as
part of GSOC 2011. I'll be posting weekly updates of the project on my
blog [1]. There isn't much to check out now but in the coming weeks
please do check in and leave feedback.
Thank You.

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!
Alex

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!

Hello Mates,
don't worry about this mail. I just would like to remind that our next
openSUSE Weekly News 181 comes out at Saturday evening (UTC +2).
Until Saturday 08:00:00 (CEST) +0200 UTC you can propose Articles, Links
and all such stuff for integrating into the Weekly News.
For people who don't want to write it in XML, you can use our Pad:
http://os-news.ietherpad.com/2.
I've planned to send this Mail each Wednesday to remind on the Weekly

Have a lot of fun :-)

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.

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
