[opensuse-project] What's the best way to nudge a bug?
by Jim Henderson 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

It's a newly reported bug (reported earlier today), but there are implications to threading in the forums for users who upgrade to 13.1 and use NNTP to access the forums. There's a bug in libgmime 2.6.16 through 2.6.18 (2.6.18 is what comes with 13.1) that incorrectly wraps the References: header, causing misthreading of posts on the server. libgmime 2.6.19 is reported to have the fix. I've built this on obs and am testing it now, but the issue was found on the bsd platform several months ago, and it is fixed upstream - so all we need is an official build of 2.6.19 in the update channel. The bug number on bnc (including links to relevant discussion on the pan- users mailing list, the RFC that the build violates, and the bug on the GNOME bug tracker) is 855023: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855023 I realize that I just opened the bug today so it probably just hasn't been reviewed yet, but I wanted to raise awareness since we use NNTP in our forum community, and this has the potential to create confusion in those discussions (indeed, it already has with posts I've made using the broken library). Thanks, Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Getting S... Done.
by Klaas Freitag 10 Dec '13

10 Dec '13

Hi, since it is right now possible to take a breath between the waves of planning I like to share a thought. In the last mails we read a couple of good ideas especially around the distro which are worth to think about and act upon. We also seem to widely agree that a bit more "innovation" would be cool. Topic examples: - Gaming on openSUSE - Clouding with openSUSE - Free Communication, as in "No, thanks, I don't use M$ Skype, but connect my using XYZ on openSUSE". - Documentation ideas - more All of these ideas would now require more investigation and _work_ to get it into Factory etc. pp. We need experts for each of the topics, which we seem to have, and people who want to learn, help and finally contribute. I often think that the missing link seems to be that somebody says: "Hey, I wonna work on 'Gaming on openSUSE', this is the rough idea, how about you help me and we have fun on this?" and people who do not feel able to start such a "big" topic themselves but are interested can say: "Well, yes, sure, if there would be a task for me..." That is what worked in the past. So I wonder if there is anything how we could help this process to work better in our community. These let's call them 'interest-groups' exist, sometimes as one-man shows, but are they visible enough? Can, for example, somebody who would like to spent a little bit of time helping somewhere, find the spots where help is needed? Has ever somebody called for help in openSUSE? How would one do that? I wonder if this can somehow be improved. What do you think? Klaas -- ...und freier Mut gebiert die Tat!

Including atwork ml in the loop ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Carlos Ribeiro <carlosribeiro(a)opensuse.org> Date: 2013/12/10 Subject: Re: [opensuse-marketing] Marketing and Artwork, who's around? To: openSUSE Marketing <opensuse-marketing(a)opensuse.org> Dear Izabel, +1 As I imagine and planning, next year I will handle other openSUSE activities and responsibilities that will make me a little bit out of the artwork team in general. But as I believe and you had previoulsly mentioned artwork must be very closer with the marketing activities so I realized that beeing part of this new Marketing generation (as I could say like that) will be a great opportunity to me to keep contributing with the artwork but again not in general artwork but more focused on the Marketing field. So, In case you guys (marketing ppl) need someone from artwork focused on marketing, I'm stepping and I also voltunteer myself to be part of this new marketing structure contributing with my artwork skills and experiences around the openSUSE "identity" and marketing area Goo luck for this new initiative and congratulations for have being rising some good topics and points like you did. 2013/12/10 Jimmy PIERRE <jimmypierre.rouen.france(a)gmail.com>: > I am in! > Jimmy Pierre (NUI) > Best, > > On 10 December 2013 12:39, jdd <jdd(a)dodin.org> wrote: >> Le 10/12/2013 11:59, Agustin Benito Bethencourt a écrit : >> >> >> >>> The merchandising program is unblocked since a few days ago. >> >> >> great. >> >> one of the work of the maketting people is to make it the more effective as >> possible >> >> >> thanks >> jdd >> >> >> -- >> http://www.dodin.org >> -- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org >> To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org >> > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org > To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

I have to STRONGLY disagree with this, when we had the program, we had people sending in reports, you had a good sense of what was going on. So the Ambassador was doing a great job. We welcome them, gave them support, explain how to market. I haven't see any of that lately. It would be nice to have the group so that we can again go out spread the word, get people involve, help them out. Hell, we don't really have a CM to be honest. I thought Jos was, but I don't see him doing that much, if you have a strong Community Manager, then you will have a strong community.

[opensuse-project] Evergeen 11.2 is EoL

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear openSUSE users, on http://lists.rosenauer.org/pipermail/evergreen/2013-November/001333.html Stefan Lijewski of the Evergreen team announced that he will no longer prepare patches for openSUSE 11.2, to better focus on 11.4 and the upcoming 13.1-Evergreen. This is after releasing 600 Evergreen security patches, which extended the life of 11.2 to 4 years. I think, this is quite impressive and want to thank Stefan for his efforts.
