[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 openSUSE Foundation created in time for this. For instance, Google would like us to get some form filled before the end of June; this is not a mandatory timeline, but I think it shows that we won't be ready with the Foundation for that. The current plan is to give that money to another organization we feel close to, and I have two candidates in mind: - the Software Freedom Conservancy (http://sfconservancy.org/) it's a really nice org that provides a home for various cool projects (see http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/) and those projects help make openSUSE a great project. - the Desktop Summit (https://www.desktopsummit.org/) it's one of the biggest event this year, and this would help us have some more visibility (since we'd be sponsors, I guess). I'm sure they would welcome this to secure their budget. Note that an alternative solution would be to leave the money to Google for a future GSoC or similar program, but I feel it's better to use the money where it can make a difference today. Now, it's not too late to change the plan. If you have a better suggestion, please tell us. There's no need to argue forever about it, just explain why you think it's good. Keep in mind that if we cannot receive the money ourselves, this also means that we cannot use it to buy stuff for openSUSE. Pavol and I will take the final decision since we are the GSoC admins for openSUSE.

[opensuse-project] download.opensuse.org IPV6 address breaks updates
by Gerald Pfeifer 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

I am seeing this with an openSUSE 12.1 system at home, and also a Factory system at work: % host download.opensuse.org download.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.134 download.opensuse.org has IPv6 address 2001:67c:2178:8::13 And then, when running zypper patch or zypper up, I see Retrieving: repomd.xml [error] Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to 2001:67c:2178:8::13: Network is unreachable Alas, my provider nor that network at work support IPv6. Still, my system has IPv6 enabled since roaming around on different networks, IPv6 may be present, or even necessary there. (This does not happen all the time, sometimes if I retry a bit later the system uses IPv4 and everything works.) Now, is this just a setup problem and I should simply and unconditionally disable IPv6? Or are some parts of our update or network stack in need of some adjustments? For the time being, unless this is just me running into this, should we disable IPv6 on download.opensuse.org?

[opensuse-project] Fwd: verify download
by Stephan Kulow 06 Nov '12

Hi, Could someone please setup a wiki page (in case there isn't one yet), so we can add a link to software.o.o? That would be cool. Greetings, Stephan -------- Original Message -------- Subject: verify download Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 08:01:20 -0400 From: Tom Horsley <X(a)gmail.com> To: admin(a)opensuse.org On the web page http://software.opensuse.org/122/en there is a section on verifying the download. I just spent an hour trying to discover how the hell to actually use the dadgum .asc file, how to download the signing key with --recv-key, etc. Do you think you could link to some more detailed instructions there somewhere (cause I'm not gonna remember any of this by the time I want to verify the next release).

[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.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

[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 might want to run for a seat on the board ;-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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
