[opensuse-project] [GSoC 2012] Introducing myself and the MongoDB driver project
by Eun Kyung 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

Greetings, all. I am a graduate student studying Information Technology in Ireland, and I'm applying for this year's GSoC to work with the openSUSE community. I would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself and the project. The project I hope to work on is "Improving the MongoDB Destination Driver for syslog-ng." As you know, syslog-ng, the leading logging platform for log collection and management, has been storing logs in MongoDB for quite a while, but due to a lack of thorough technical documentation on the implementation details, it's been challenging to improve the driver's functionality and speed. The goal of this project is to enhance the MongoDB destination driver for syslog-ng, to make it more robust, scalable and performant. One of the major tasks is to convert 'upserts' to 'inserts', which would make it possible to introduce support for inserting messages in bulk, further reducing the load on the database, and slightly reducing network traffic too. My application on melange is here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/ekyung/1 Comments and feedback are always welcome. I'm confident that I will complete this project successfully and push my technical skills to the next level. I look forward to joining the awesome openSUSE community!

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.

One can simplify the problem by assuming the user is one-click installing apps from existing repos in his system. I think the focus of this project should be a usable and elegant tool, and trying to solve all trust/safety issues is out of place here. Will

[opensuse-project] Open Build Service Brings Website Integration
by Jos Poortvliet 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

We're proud to announce that the Open Build Service, a system to collaboratively build and easily distribute packages for a wide variety of operating systems and platforms, has introduced the ability to integrate the intelligent OBS 'download package' page into websites. This is useful for projects who want to offer their users easy access to downloads for a wide variety of Linux (and non-linux) systems. Moreover, the Open Build Service 2.3 Release Candidate is out and the final release is near. Integration in Websites The Open Build Service installation provided by openSUSE keeps growing. The number of packages is now well over 170.000, with more than 32.000 developers using build.opensuse.org either for personal use, to provide packages for one or more Linux distributions publicly or to contribute to openSUSE. Many projects depend on the public OBS or their own, internal Open Build Service to get software to their users. Right now, developers need to move the packages from OBS to a place where they are easy to download, or point users to the repository. The project page on OBS usually provides a 'download' button but this page is clearly not designed for end users. We decided to do better and now provide a download page which can be properly integrated in any website. It offers several layers of integration, starting with a convenient multi-distribution download page one can link to or an iframe which can be included in a web page; to PHP and html objects one can use to really offer deep integration. New is also the option to also provide Appliances this way so those building OS images on OBS can provide access to them directly via the same interface. In Action The full functionality including the downloading of Appliances can be seen on the openbuildservice.org website which got a major redesign. David Rosca from the Qupzilla project, who was the first external developer to integrate OBS into his website, noted that it took only minutes to implement and told us: "It saves interested users an extra click to install the application and looks better at the same time." Upcoming OBS 2.3 release Besides this new functionality which is already available on build.opensuse.org, the upcoming OBS 2.3 release comes with many new features. The 2.3 release candidate was recently made available and the final release is expected within 2-3 weeks. The main features for the 2.3 release of the Open Build Service are the introduction of full product maintenance handling in OBS, offering all the tools required for the maintanance of a full Linux distribution. A second major feature is the ability to set projects upon creation to be private, closing off source and binary access from anyone not part of the project. The 2.3 release also fixes a vulnerability for XSS attacks. Other new features including tracking of bugzilla or CVE issues, web interface improvements, API improvements and a new dispatcher improving the build times for crucial projects. About the Open Build Service The Open Build Service (OBS) is a generic system to build and distribute binary packages from sources in an automatic, consistent and reproducible way. It can release packages as well as updates, add-ons, appliances and entire distributions for a wide range of operating systems and hardware architectures. The OBS, through it’s project model, has collaboration build in and will help users to harness the power of the open source development model.
