[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] Introducing the Freight Train
by Jos Poortvliet 20 May '12

20 May '12

Hey all! As SUSE is gearing up for SLE 12, SUSE is doing more in openSUSE. Features like systemd and grub2 are examples and more will follow. That is good for openSUSE, but it can also lead to conflicts. Most of our engineers are involved in other upstream projects and know the drill of working with communities, but even then there's a risk that all this 'tramples' a bit over what we've been doing in openSUSE. That's called the 'Freight Train' effect, see [1] for a bit more background. … [View More]

[opensuse-project] Question about openSUSE Summit
by andi robert 07 May '12

07 May '12

Since there is already a committee formed for this venue, I noticed on the page some items that might require some artwork done for it Materials Badges (Will be provided by SUSECon) Bag Program Guide T-Shirts Geeko Plushies Other Giveaways I am wondering if any of these will require the artwork team to create anything to display at the summit. Think also of possible branding for slideshows, door signs, stickers, etc. Please let us know. Thank you Andy (anditosan) -- … [View More]

[opensuse-project] bad news: download.opensuse.org lost its filesystem
by Stephan Kulow 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi, We face at the moment a rather critical problem - in download.opensuse.org's RAID 2 discs died at the same time, which means we can't restore the filesystem at all. Most stuff is copied somewhere else, but restoring it from scratch can take easily a day - we're talking about several TB. For now I redirect download.o.o to widehat.opensuse.org, which won't be able to hold the load for long - but it's better than spitting errors.

[opensuse-project] Has openSUSE as a project approached Valve re the possible upcoming Steam for Linux?
by C 02 May '12

02 May '12

Steam for Linux has been floated a few times starting int 2010. A few days ago Phoronix posted some information about how far Valve has come with producing a Steam client for Linux, including showing a port of Left for Dead 2 running natively on Ubuntu. Today I spotted this: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/04/canonical-in-touch-with-valve-to-ensure.… and this made me wonder... are we (as a project) also approaching Valve in some official capacity to ensure that this Steam for Linux client … [View More]

Is there a static list of US mirrors for the openSUSE Build Service repositories? I've got the Oregon State University mirror for the regular 12.1 repositories, but I have a bunch of OBS repositories I'm using for my current project. I don't want to hit "widehat" if there's a way I can find the files closer to home. -- Twitter: http://twitter.com/znmeb Computational Journalism Server http://j.mp/compjournoserver Data is the new coal - abundant, dirty and difficult to mine. -- To … [View More]

[opensuse-project] Bringing more scientific software to openSUSE
by Luca Beltrame 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

(please CC me, I'm not subscribed) Hello people, I've started talking to Alin to see whether more scientific software would be nice to have in openSUSE. In particular, one of the cool new features of the day (TM) in the life science sector is the so-called "Next generation sequencing"[1], and a lot of software has been developed to deal with such data. Most of these are command-line tools and some have... "exotic" build systems, so having them packaged would be definitely a plus for any … [View More]
