[opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money
by Vincent Untz 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

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 … [View More]

[opensuse-project] Call for sessions: FOSDEM cross-distributions devroom
by Henne Vogelsang 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

Hey, please note the Call for Papers from the FOSDEM Distro Mini Conf. You have until December 20th to submit your talk/BoF/round table. Make use of this awesome mini conf and hold talks before a room full of other distribution developers. Henne -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Distributions] Call for sessions: cross-distributions devroom Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2012 09:05:03 +0100 From: Wouter Verhelst <wouter(a)debian.org> Organization: The Debian Project, http://www.debian.… [View More]org/ To: distributions(a)lists.fosdem.org CC: fosdem(a)lists.fosdem.org Hello World, This is the official call for sessions for the FOSDEM 2013 cross-distributions devroom. As in previous years, any session relating to distributions development is welcome. Since this is an opportunity for different distributions to cooperate, we're specifically looking for sessions that are of interest to people from multiple distributions; however, if you have something interesting to talk about that is of more interest to just one particular distribution, that is certainly welcome too. Sessions can be things like talks, roundtables, or BoFs; anything is welcome. However, please note that for roundtables or BoFs, I'd still like one or more people to step up as moderator, who'll be listed as 'speaker' on the schedule. If you want to hold a session in the distributions devroom, please send an email to the distributions(a)lists.fosdem.org mailinglist, containing the following information: - Your name - A (short) bio - (optionally) a picture - A title for the talk - A description of the talk (just a paragraph or two will do) - Your desired timeslot duration (30 or 60 minutes) - If you already have that information, your availability during the FOSDEM weekend to help us schedule the sessions. And this no later than december 20th, 2012, which is two months less one week from now. That isn't a lot of time, so please don't hesitate too long in proposing a session. Please also forward this call for sessions to your appropriate distribution-specific mailinglist(s), so we can actually get some sessions to appear. Thanks, -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage. _______________________________________________ Distributions mailing list Distributions(a)lists.fosdem.org https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/distributions -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org [View Less]

[opensuse-project] Welcome to our Election Committee
by Vincent Untz 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hi, After the call for volunteers for the Election Committee, three people agreed to step up: Izabel Valverde, Thomas Schmidt and Bryen Yunashko. They will work on organizing the elections, and will publish a timeline to explain when the different steps will occur. This will take a few days since Izabel and Thomas were both at the openSUSE Conference and Bryen was at the GSoC mentor summit. So they all need a few days to settle back at home, I guess :-) Thanks to them! And keep in mind: you … [View More]

[opensuse-project] BoF results?
by Jos Poortvliet 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Heya all, So, while recovering from the conference, it's a good idea to make sure what was decided actually happens. Tip: it helps to not just write it down but put it in a news article - that forms a nice public whip ;-) So how about it, can I get some 'stuff' about what was decided send to me for the final day/conference conclusions article?? :D Hugs, Jos
