[opensuse-project] Google Summer of Code 2012: Introducing myself
by Praful Johari 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi all, My name is Praful Johari. I am an undergraduate student at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati. I am interested in working on the project idea "Automated resizing of LVM filesystems" and have already submitted my proposal to melange. I am experienced in C/C++ programming languages, as I was interested in systems programming from the beginning of my college days. I am quite proficient in python and have developed many small utilities in it for fun. I am also an ardent openSUSE fan. I was looking for a chance to start hacking into its code and try to improve it or develop applications for it, and GSoC provided the perfect opportunity for me! I look forward to the day when the majority of the code in the OS will have atleast some contributions of mine. For this project, I have an idea to develop an application, which will aid in LVM extension and make life of users more easy. More details are on the melange site proposal : http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/praful/1 I have been in constant contact with my mentor, Petr Uzel, and with his help, have modified the original proposal idea greatly to reflect the ease of use for the users, a wider area of application, and the (possible) future integration into the OS itself. Looking forward to hearing from you all. Thanks! Cordially, Praful Johari openSUSE user nick: Neo_Optimus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Fwd: [GSoC] Advice on the studio API testing idea
by Kushagra Singh 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi ! I'm a 4th year B.E. student from India. I was looking forward to being involved in the Google Summer of Code 2012 . While going through the project ideas for OpenSUSE, I found the SUSE Studio: StudioCheck automated test framework project to be something I would really like to work on. I have worked on testing web applications and service based applications using gherkin. I was hoping to get some guidance on the following. - A student is already allotted to this project. So is it still possible to work on this project? - Also I would like to know how would you like to frame our proposal. - If there is a way to understand the current level of abstraction implemented for the tests. Thanks for your help! Kushagra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] KDE and openSUSE Announce Opening of CfP for Dedicated COSCUP Track
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

COSCUP, the largest FLOSS conference organized by local communities in Taiwan, will feature a special track dedicated to KDE and openSUSE, jointly organized by these communities. The CfP team is happy to announce today that we're ready to accept your session proposals! At COSCUP 2011, several KDE and openSUSE contributors gave talks and presented ‘cool stuff’ at their booths. This year, we'll do even more! KDE and openSUSE will collaboratively organize a full two-day track at the upcoming COSCUP conference in August 2012. A CfP committee has been set up and proposals can be send in starting today. June 15 is the deadline for proposals which can be send to cfp(a)opensuse.org. Call for Papers The program committee is looking for presentations about KDE and openSUSE. Please note that the talks do NOT have to be related to both KDE and openSUSE. KDE and openSUSE happily welcome talks about KDE on other distributions or other (non) desktop technologies like GNOME or OpenStack on openSUSE. The committee suggests the following topics: * desktop technologies (d-bus, gstreamer, etcetera) * embedded and mobile * distribution technologies (packaging tools, build systems, etcetera) * challenges in adapting software to local needs (L10N, I18N) * cross-desktop and cross-distribution collaboration * cloud computing and integration into the desktop * or anything else you think the world should hear about! The call for papers ends on June 15. Please send in a proposal of about 200 words, accompanied by a ~50 words biography, in either English or Chinese, to cfp(a)opensuse.org before that date. Program committee The Program Committee for the KDE/openSUSE track at COSCUP consists of the following people: * Franklin Weng (KDE) * Aaron J. Seigo (KDE) * Sakana (openSUSE) * Al Cho (openSUSE) * Bryen Yunashko (openSUSE) * Greg Kroah-Hartman (the Linux Foundation) About KDE KDE is an international technology team that creates free and open source software for desktop and portable computing.

[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.
