[opensuse-project] download stats?
by Peter Czanik 14 May '12

14 May '12

Hello, We try to estimate the number of syslog-ng users. We already know the number of source downloads, as that's downloaded from our servers. As one of our most popular platform is openSUSE / SLES (where syslog-ng is installed by default), I'd like to know, if it is possible to get any download statistics how many times syslog-ng binaries were downloaded. The syslog-ng package is part of all releases, Base:system, home:czanik:* and a couple more project under home:. A rough estimate of SLES users would also be useful, but I guess, that's not public data... Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

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] When is a mirror not a mirror?
by Basil Chupin 08 May '12

08 May '12

My ISP is iinet.net.au - and has been for some years now. iinet.net.au is listed as one of the mirrors for openSUSE files and is listed as able to provide all updates for the openSUSE distro. With the oS servers out of action (but now are about to come back online as per Stefan's post) I have been trying to upgrade KDE to 4.8.2 over the past couple of days but the widehate server has been rejecting my (and others) attempts to access it to do this upgrade. So I looked up the list of mirrors and found that my ISP is listed as being a source for my upgrade of KDE - which is very nice because downloading from iinet.net.au costs me nothing as I am it's customer and can downloading from what iinet call its "Freezone". The only problem is is that iinet is not a true mirror for openSUSE. I had to go to a Belgian site to be able to upgrade to KDE 4.8.2 on my new installation. I have written to iinet on several occasions in the past telling them/complaining to them that their file directories are NOT up-to-date nor do they contain all the files - and always received the response that "the information has been passed on to the [engineers] for action". Well, nothing has been done now for, what?, 3 years. May I therefore make a request to whoever maintains the list of mirrors handling the openSUSE distribution that s/he either writes to iinet,net.au and gets them to action this deficiency or removes iinet.net.au from the list of mirrors.

[opensuse-project] Creative Commons Records.
by Fekecs Attila 07 May '12

07 May '12

-- Eredeti üzenet -- Feladó: Fekecs Attila <gsmusic(a)citromail.hu> Címzett: <opensuse(a)opensuse.org>, <opensuse(a)opensuse.org> Elküldve: 2012. május 7. 11:25 Tárgy : Creative Commons Records. Dear Linux Company! We plan to establish soon a Creative Commons Publishing, which the authors work for the actual support, the distribution, and advertising. To do this we are looking for partners and sponsors who would support this open platform in some way. Of course, the first goal is to free, quality songs available for free, we advertise, advertise. Unfortunately, many authors have been my partner in a position to contract by the publishers of legal download sites sold for money, singing, and the authors did not receive money. Then walk only with difficulty or not at all possible. We would therefore like to support the authors in this way. I look forward to your opinion. Best regards, Attila Fekecs / Hungary / (This letter was translated by Google translator.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] SUSE Studio = Awesome!
by Chris Jones 06 May '12

06 May '12

I am working on a few projects at the moment. I am developing my own programming language called Simple Dictionary Language (or SDL). I am also tinkering around with Linux kernel 3.4-rc5. And I have also been working on and preparing my own Linux distribution for a few months. Today I finally completed my first build of 0.0.1. Although still in very early development stages and nowhere near ready for a public release, I just wanted to point out how awesome SUSE Studio is and how easy it has made the whole management of the whole project. So a very special thank you to all that make SUSE Studio possible and such an awesome service. It's an absolute pleasure to use. And I will always be leaving some sort of SUSE branding in my own distro as a big kudos to all you guys.

[opensuse-project] python update disappeared from update repo
by Cristian Morales Vega 05 May '12

05 May '12

I had python installed from the updates repository $ fgrep python-base /var/log/zypp/history 2011-11-10 16:13:02|install|python-base|2.7.2-7.1.2|x86_64|root@opensuse|InstallationImage|c25c9289c1f8b1f03c503dbdc75915ff367ae629e9a847e4f21d194bcea58889 2012-03-01 23:46:39|install|python-base|2.7.2-7.5.1|x86_64||update|86749eaab2f972e2be4df35e71ea833d61e1c40f6055e4cc81a7891043f9fa15 But that 2.7.2-7.5.1 is not in the repo anymore. It should have never been there and was retired or is this a bug related to the recent problems with the infrastructure? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Build Service Deployment Application
by Alexander Rössler 04 May '12

04 May '12

Hello OpenSUSE Developers and Community, Today I have watched a talk about Appstream at the Linuxwochen in Vienna. As I applied for Google Summer of Code for an Build Service Plugin for Kdevelop and was rejected, I will apply for Season of KDE. Im writing this e-mail because I want to develop and application, that simplifies the procedure of deploying applications to the build service. You can read my GSoC proposal if you are interested (http://www.google- melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/strahlex/1 ). My application was for Build Service Plugin for Kdevelop, but maybe a standalone application would be better. This application would perfectly fit to Appstream, it would be nice if someone could mentor me.
