[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

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

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Conference
by Agustin Benito Bethencourt 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Hi, I want to give you a general overview of the openSUSE Conference. Basic tasks done Most of topic that needed to be cover in advance are already closed: * Keynote speakers flight tickets and accommodation * Attendees accommodation * Venues * Social program venues * Schedule except the "Business Friendly track" that will be closed today. * Basic Merchandising * Registration (please register if you haven done it) * Pre-event press articles * Place where to have lunch * Many others... SUSE … [View More]involvement SUSE office in Prague is very involved. You probably will have the chance to meet many of them during the event, since they will be doing work on the field as volunteers, together with community volunteers. About 80 SUSE employees are coming from different locations, like Nuremberg, US, Taiwan, Beijing.... They will also help the core team and volunteers on the field. Today the openSUSE Team arrives to Prague to organize, together with the Prague office team, most of the work on the field, so when volunteers arrive they know what to do, who is coordinating what, etc. So a lot of Geeko followers coming..... It will be August for Beer places. Prague and Nuremberg SUSE people together....Oh dear. :-) Venue 1 to Venue 2 and other tasks On Sunday afternoon we have to move from one venue to another, so we will need many hands to help, not just in this process, but also during the weekend, since part of the core team will be preparing Venue 2. Both venue are 200 m apart. It is going to be challenging, but we will make it with your help. We still need volunteers that help in things like social media, Chair(wo)men, registration/help desk, network/video recording team, etc. If you are coming and are willing to help for a few hours before or during the event, please add yourself to the wiki page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_volunteers Lunch The cafeteria from campus will be open for us at lunch time (specially the weekend) so you can go there and have different good options at a cheap price. It is a semi-self service so it will be fast. You will only be able to pay with Czech Korones. Make sure you have change available. Euros or credit cards won't be allowed in the Cafeteria (from what I understand). Registration - Welcome party This Friday, as it has been published, we will have a welcome party in front of venue 1. Please make sure that you come to the venue to register and receive your badge before going to the party. We want to avoid long lines on Saturday morning. Be aware that you will need your badge to enter the rooms and going to the party on Saturday night. Further information with all the details will be sent to attendees. Please check the news section and the conference website for further information. Other small details * Check that you r computer charger is compatible with the standard in Czech republic. * Change some money before coming or in the airport. There are Cash Machines but just in case.... * Check the expected weather before coming. It looks like we will have good weather (well, what they call good weather at this time of the year in Central Europe). * If you are arriving on Friday, go directly to the venue for helping a little or for registration (from 18 hours). Then join the Welcome Party. Booth We will have booths from different distributions there, since Linux Days brings them. I personally would like to see us being the coolest and more interesting booth of the event. We need to go wild with crazy ideas. If you are creative and want to help....this is your spot. Community BoFs All this effort is being done because we believe that an event is a key element for every community. Besides the talks, the parties.... we have to make sure that some work is done. This event should be the time for discussions, for decisions, for agreements, for common analysis.... We have provided space for this. Joint the proposed BoFs or create new ones. Disclaimer Please remember that organizing an event is a stressful task and most of the people involved in the organization are not "event managers" but engineers. So my apologies in advance for the mistakes we will make. If you have any urgency we have an emergency Phone number you can call at any time (check you badge). Somebody will be there help you. For non critical issues, please approach the staff at the help/registration desk and we will try to deal/solve your problem or question. Enjoy Prague is an awesome city. I recommend you to visit it...if you have time, because we have been working in creating a schedule interesting enough to make hard for you to leave the Conference. Enjoy the conference.... See you there. Personal note It will be my first openSUSE Conference and I don know most of you. Since I am fully involved in the organization of the event, I doubt I have much time left to talk, but I will do my best. Approach me and introduce yourself. I will appreciate it. I am excited about the Conference. saludos -- Agustin Benito Bethencourt openSUSE Team Lead at SUSE abebe(a)suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org [View Less]

When filing a bug, assuming that it's valid, the acceptable, desired outcome is a verified & deployable fix. In our distro terms, that's a package, made available in a repo -- arguably one of the repos that the system reporting the bug has enabled, and that the OP has verified -- by using/deploying the updated package -- works (within an acceptable response time frame ...). @ Opensuse bugzilla, it's frequently true that bugs are 'closed' when a developer has made changes to code -- … [View More]
