[opensuse-project] download.opensuse.org IPV6 address breaks updates
by Gerald Pfeifer 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

I am seeing this with an openSUSE 12.1 system at home, and also a Factory system at work: % host download.opensuse.org download.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.134 download.opensuse.org has IPv6 address 2001:67c:2178:8::13 And then, when running zypper patch or zypper up, I see Retrieving: repomd.xml [error] Download (curl) error for 'http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Connection failed Error message: Failed to connect to 2001:67c:2178:8::13: Network is unreachable Alas, my provider nor that network at work support IPv6. Still, my system has IPv6 enabled since roaming around on different networks, IPv6 may be present, or even necessary there. (This does not happen all the time, sometimes if I retry a bit later the system uses IPv4 and everything works.) Now, is this just a setup problem and I should simply and unconditionally disable IPv6? Or are some parts of our update or network stack in need of some adjustments? For the time being, unless this is just me running into this, should we disable IPv6 on download.opensuse.org?

[opensuse-project] openSUSE 12.3 doesn't support any video types
by Alexey Eromenko 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Sadly out-of-the-box, openSUSE 12.3 doesn't support any kind of video at all, not even WebM. I have opened a bug on it "Bug 802980 - WebM Video fails to play in KDE desktop", but as release draws near the chances of it being looked at appears slim. Anyway, Red Hat's RHEL6 does WebM just fine, and it is super-important for all Open-Source software to standardize on something, and WebM video (VP8) is the best we have for now. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Board meeting minutes
by Robert Schweikert 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi, Please find below the meeting minutes from this weeks board call. As always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to respond to this thread or send a message directly to the board mailing list. The minutes are also posted on the wiki https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting#Meeting_2013-02-25 Enjoy You openSUSE Board Board meeting 2013-02-25 Present: Vincent, Raymond, Robert, Will Andrew is participating in a seminar and could not call in 1.) Review Action items - Board report, no progress yet. Vincent will try to get this done ASAP - Hackathon organization + openSUSE team will help with local organization + message from Robert to -project did not result in any volunteers - Summit + Andy is working on Artwork + Robert asked Bryan to manage summit.opensuse.org, waiting for response + Robert asked Peter Linnell to manage local outreach program, waiting for response + Robert will ask Chuck about running keynote speaker search and organize the keynote 2.) Board Face to Face meeting Everyone is still OK with the dates (April 6 & 7), funds have been approved by SUSE. Everyone should make their travel arrangements. Meeting will be held in the SUSE Nuremberg offices. 3.) Events - oSC13 + looks as if everything is on track + CfP was announced last week - Summit + the wheels are starting to roll, see AI review above - oSC14 + we have a draft for a location search announcement everyone needs to review and chime in + should go out next Tuesday 4.) Lack of volunteers The call for volunteers to organize Hackathons has resulted in no response. The call for volunteers to help with the Summit had a low response and it appears that it is difficult to get people to step up and be more engaged with non technical issues. - Should we try to broadcast searches for volunteers to a wider audience then just sending things to the -project list. It appears that we always go back to the same group and always the same people step up (or not). + Broadcasting these searches on news.o.o is definitely worth a shot. + We should reach out to Universities and advertise the organization of a Hackathon as a course project to business students. - How can we get more people trained/enthusiastic in organizing events such as a Hackathon? - All Ambasadors should have a list of things where the openSUSE project is looking for help and show the list at events openSUSE ambassadors participate in. - Can we find a good place on the wiki or front page to show advertise a "Help wanted" list Next meeting: 2013-03-11 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Feature guide
by Jos Poortvliet 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

Good news, everyone*! The first full draft of our 12.3 feature list is online: https://en.opensuse.org/Features_12.3 I could really use some help with fact checking, categorization (some stuff ain't in the right place yet), adding of screenshots and general improvements... Please, if you can - help by removing/fixing factually incorrect things, adding what's missing etc. Comments mailed to me work too but, as it's a wiki, I prefer if you just edit away... Note that this feature list will be the base for our announcement, our top features on the Portal page and so on. So it should at the very least be correct! Hugs, Jos * http://bit.ly/ZgsVy1

[opensuse-project] 12.3 countdown
by Michael Catanzaro 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hi, Our 12.3 countdown on the homepage links to the 12.2 portal... this doesn't really look good. =( See http://counter.opensuse.org/link/ There is not really a 12.3 page to link to instead (probably a problem in itself), but at least we could point the counter to Jos's newspost or something at least somewhat 12.3-related in the meantime?

[opensuse-project] mailing list subscriptions
by Felix Miata 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Is there any easy way to see which lists I've subscribed to? Which is the most appropriate list to ask this question, which I don't see an answer to on http://lists.opensuse.org/ or its progeny. Other lists send monthly reminders, which I use easily enough for the purpose, but filtering for suse in the folder I keep them in results in 0 found. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
