by Jos Poortvliet 10 May '12

10 May '12

Heya all, See below an invite for an openSUSE talk at Akademy-es! the CfP is wrong (they are fixing it) The event is from May, Friday 19 to Sunday 20th. Anyone able/willing to go? Email abenito at the KDE.org servers or talk to me! Cheers, Jos ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: openSUSE in Akademy-es Date: Wednesday 21 March 2012, 17:50:04 From: Agustin Benito (toscalix) <abenito@xxxxxxx> To: Jos Poortvliet (you know) CC: Other people Hi Jos, it would be great to have somebody from openSUSE giving a talk in [1]Akademy-es on May 20th in Saragossa. Its municipality uses openSUSE + GNOME so the person you send can also open a channel with them. It is the most advance migration project in small public administrations in spain (municipalities). On May 18th we will have some talks for wide audience. Since openSUSE does a great job with KDE, maybe talking about the news related with the destop and other services could be a good one. [2]Call for papers is open until April 23th. We expect about 80 people there.

[opensuse-project] Suse Studio Command Line Client (ssc) @ GSoC 2012
by Andrei Petre 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hello everybody, I take Cristian Mircea Messel's advice[1], and introduce myself. My name is Andrei Petre, I currently am in my second Bachelor year, studying in the field of Computer Science at Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania. I enjoy getting to know new people, and learning new things, to help improve my knowledge and myself, in general. I've read the ideas page from OpenSuse's GSoC and I searched mainly for projects containing languages that I already know, but I stopped at ssc[1], although I don't really know ruby; I recently started coding in it a bit (a very basic HTTP server in ruby[3], my very first ruby code, actually). I am familiar with python, java, c (strongest), c++ (some, not much), android (currently developing sth), so I think I could learn it, documenting myself for ~1week. Is this a problem, not being familiar with ruby? I would like to express my interest towards ssc project, as I liked the project's description and its idea. I too am a CLI kind of guy, and I use git[2], more locally than with github, though. Sorry, I am not an opensuse user (don't yell :P), I mainly use ubuntu, but I've been thinking of changing to arch / opensuse / fedora / deb. Anyway, sorry for long email and hopefully someone was patient enought to read it. Thanks!

[opensuse-project] Popularity contest for RPM (popcorn) : GSoC 2012
by Akshit Khurana 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Hi, I am Akshit Khurana, third year Computer Science student at IIT Roorkee. I would like to work on the Popularity contest for RPM (popcorn) project.[0] I am a part of Information Management Group, in IIT Roorkee, which is a student body responsible for developing and managing all Internet and Intranet applications in IIT Roorkee, including the institute website and registration & placement portals.[1] One of the projects I have worked at IMG is Softwares application.[2][3] I have some experience in web development in python and django, so I would be fairly comfortable with Flask framework and SQLAlchemy. I've started reading about RPM from the links mentioned on the ideas page. I have got in touch with the project mentor Ionuț Arțăriși to know more about the project. He helped me to set up popcorn on my system to get started.

[opensuse-project] Razor-qt instead of LXDE to our 12.2 DVD
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hello friends, I see that Razor-qt is inside our Factory repository for 12.2. I also see on the razor-qt mailing list that there's a huge progress with it. Since I'm not familiar with creating the DVD, I was wondering if it's possible to change LXDE with Razor-qt or if not, then add it as extra environment to the list.

We (de-Wiki) watched the same issues. For examble. If I search in the German Wiki for "Paketbau" I get no result, nothing, zero... But there are a lot of pages. I translate them currently. Only if I know the exact name of the page, than i will get a result. Is there anyone who can improve this tool?

[opensuse-project] GSOC 2012 - Introducing myself and ideas I am interested in
by Stathis Agrapidis 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hello everybody, My name is Efstathios Agrapidis (efagra) and I am a final year undergraduate student at the University of Macedonia [1] in Greece, where I study Applied Information Technology. I am currently an openSUSE user for the last two years and linux user since almost a decade (hoping from one distro to another), but really new to the beauty of the community behind such projects (one and a half year). I have mostly contributed to the greek part of the community by mentoring in this year's GCI, partitipating in events, translating software/weekly news/wiki, making presentations and I think this would be the best oportunity for me to start contributing in the software part of the distribution. >From computer languages I currently speak (I may say fluently) c/c++ and java. I am interested in software optimisation and parallelization and have worked with CUDA, opencl, MPI, and RMI. I have also studied a little about perl and python in the past that are required by some of the ideas, so I think I can catch up easily. As far as database languages is concerned I also know SQL and have worked with sqlite and MySQL. I should notice that I have a large learning apetite so any new knowledge that can and will come by partitipating in such an event is more than welcome and desired. I am not interested only in one specific project but in many and I need guidance on how to proceed, as I have different reasons for each idea. Below I am listing all of them line by line: SUSE Studio Java Client SDK Gtk Front End to Oyranos Redesign fdisk to be more extensible and implement GPT support On-demand Symbolic Memory Concolic Symbolic Execution LTP:Fix/Implement automated kernel/glibc tests Automatic resizing of LVM volumes and filesystems I am really excited about this.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Summit website up and CfP started!
by Jos Poortvliet 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

The openSUSE community is happy to announce that starting March 29 the openSUSE Summit team will accept session proposals for the openSUSE Summit. The openSUSE Summit will take place from September 21-23, 2012 in Orlando Florida at the Caribe Royale Hotel. The proposal submission period ends on June 15, 2012 at midnight EDT. Final announcement of the program will occur on or before July 23, 2012. Starting today our website on summmit.opensuse.org is online and ready to inform you about our summit! The Summit aims to continue the tradition of fun and exciting gatherings for openSUSE in the Americas. We will deliver a bi-lingual event with some sessions offered in English and some in Spanish. In good openSUSE spirit we also want to make this event as welcoming as possible by inviting other projects to participate in the Summit. =Paper submissions= We hereby invite the openSUSE and wider Free Software community to submit session proposals for the openSUSE summit. The openSUSE Summit will have 3 tracks as outlined below. Presentations, BoF (Birds of a Feather) sessions and work shops are expected to align with the track topic. * openSUSE Community The openSUSE Community track provides information and discussion around the openSUSE community. Topics include but are not limited to Project governance and organization, ambassadorship and getting involved. * openSUSE Tech The openSUSE Tech track provides information, discussion, and hands on experience with the technology that makes openSUSE tick. Topics in this track include, but are not limited to the openSUSE development model, Packaging workshops, the Open Build Service, KIWI and more. * open World The open World track provides a platform to present your project, or listen to the interesting things our sponsors want to share. Topics in this track may cover demos and HowTos, FOSS project introductions, or other interesting topics from areas such as the "Maker movement". This is also the platform for cross-community collaboration with upstream or other Linux distributions. =Fun= The openSUSE Summit, by virtue of being an openSUSE event, has fun high on the agenda. Therefore, proposals that are "outside the box" of a "regular" software focused conference are encouraged. Collaboratively Building a Giant Paper Mache Geeko has already been proposed and rejected due to environmental concerns. =How to submit session proposals= Submit proposals for the openSUSE Summit using the registration and submission website at [1]. If you have not spoken at a previous openSUSE event, please create a new account to submit an abstract. The abstract submission should contain at least a 200 word description of the topic you plan to discuss, as well as a short (~ 50 word) description of yourself. *Please note:* All openSUSE events are governed by the openSUSE Code of Conduct [2]. The speaker guidelines [3] outline requirements for the submission of proposals and provide other valuable information for speakers.
