[opensuse-project] [gsoc2011] PackageKit, AppStream and openSUSE integration for Software Center
by Alex Eftimie 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

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 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

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!

by Stathis Agrapidis 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hello to all, I will be attending the conference at Nyremberg and I would like to participate in the exams (if they happen) for the LPI certification. Where can I look for more information? Actually, will it be possible to be examed for the certification? If yes, what should I do? Should I study something? Any help and useful resources will be appreciated.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Entomologist UI Changes - Weekly Report #10
by David Williams 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hi everyone, You can find the report at either [0] or down below as always. ---- REPORT TEXT BELOW ----- This week isn't as feature packed as previous weeks as I've been trying to figure out where to go from the initial iteration of the ToDo Lists. I've added a blueprint at[ 1] which details what I plan to do in the coming weeks. I hope it doesn't end up taking me the remainder of the GSoC time as I would like to start looking at QML integration but I think it's a killer feature for Entomologist to have so if it does then that's not a loss to me as I would really like to have it implemented. I've been working on adding iCalendar Export to the ToDo Lists and this revealed a few issues with the design choices as iCalendar requires details such as e-mail addresses and recipients to be included in the VTODO format. This is why I had to outline the steps needed to get fully functional calendar export to work and I think a lot of new UI changes need to be brought in to supplement that and to enhance the configurability of the ToDo Lists. Initial testing of the iCalendar exporting appeared to work in iCal as it added the Reminder but it would not sync with any of my cloud calendars that I have included. I think that this is probably iCal itself not supporting the sync of ToDo Lists (or Reminders in iCal parlance) rather than an issue with the format used. I've also used iCalendar validators to check it and it seems that the .ics files produced are well formed which, in all honesty, is the only thing I can really do. Adding little hacks for different services is not the way I want this project to go as it would a) increase the amount of code b) increase the complexity and c) it would break if something changed in each individual service. I think the best way to move forward is to take inspiration from the way that Trackers are organised out and build objects that inherit from a base WebDAV/CalDAV client and add the functionality required for API compatibility with various services. This would mean that we support generic WebDAV servers that a user specifies and that we catch a lot of the various services that exist without wasting lots of code trying to figure it out. The primary services I want to target for this feature are: Remember the Milk Google Calendar Generic WebDAV/CalDAV External clients - Evolution/Thunderbird/iCal/Outlook. I think Outlook might be a problem as a target as I'm not 100% sure it supports the iCalendar format correctly. If it does then great, but I don't have a way to actually test it as I don't own Microsoft Office on either a Mac or a Windows PC and I'm not going to pay for it as I would never use it outside of the testing it would need. I'm also not sure what calendar applications are popular on Windows but I'm assuming that Thunderbird/Google Calendar based things are pretty common so I think it's safe to target those. So it's the 10th week and I've got a lot more work to do but it should all be really interesting stuff to add and will be well worth the time it takes :).

[opensuse-project] DesktopSummit planning
by Jos Poortvliet 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Hi everyone!!! As you might know, SUSE will sponsor the Desktop Summit Berlin, see: https://desktopsummit.org/press/sponsors-announced openSUSE will be there too, and visibly of course! We have people giving talks, bof's and all that, promoting a variety of technology and in general of course just participating in making the Desktop Summit great. As sponsor, SUSE not only is paying money for the DS but also provides some cool stuff: we have openSUSE beer and t-shirts for the Soccer Match on Sunday and we bring the SUSE Studio Kiosk with a number of USB sticks there so people can create their own OS-on-a-stick! Now the DS team is busy enough so we need to help out a bit. A few people need to help handling the beer - I'm sure we can get volunteers for that (yes, drinking allowed as long as you can still carry beer). And we need some help with baby-sitting the Studio Kiosk at the sponsor table! I'm sure if we all help out we can do this easily together. Please add your names to the wiki if you're coming and if you already know when you can help out, add your name there too: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:DesktopSummitBerlin Thanks in advance!!!!
