[opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money
by Vincent Untz 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hi, (let's see how a public discussion about money goes :-)) The Google Summer of Code brings us great students, but also means that the openSUSE project will get $8000 (if I'm not mistaken) at the end of the summer. That's $500 per student. A while ago, I requested comments on my blog about what to do with the money, but didn't get any feedback. So I take this as "do what you feel is best", and this mail is about the plan. As a reminder, the main issue is that we will likely not have the openSUSE Foundation created in time for this. For instance, Google would like us to get some form filled before the end of June; this is not a mandatory timeline, but I think it shows that we won't be ready with the Foundation for that. The current plan is to give that money to another organization we feel close to, and I have two candidates in mind: - the Software Freedom Conservancy (http://sfconservancy.org/) it's a really nice org that provides a home for various cool projects (see http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/) and those projects help make openSUSE a great project. - the Desktop Summit (https://www.desktopsummit.org/) it's one of the biggest event this year, and this would help us have some more visibility (since we'd be sponsors, I guess). I'm sure they would welcome this to secure their budget. Note that an alternative solution would be to leave the money to Google for a future GSoC or similar program, but I feel it's better to use the money where it can make a difference today. Now, it's not too late to change the plan. If you have a better suggestion, please tell us. There's no need to argue forever about it, just explain why you think it's good. Keep in mind that if we cannot receive the money ourselves, this also means that we cannot use it to buy stuff for openSUSE. Pavol and I will take the final decision since we are the GSoC admins for openSUSE.

[opensuse-project] opensuse-user not on gmane any more?
by Jim Henderson 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

I just noticed today that the gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.user group is missing from gmane.org - did the project request the list be removed from gmane? Just wondering if it was intentional or if something went wrong somewhere.

[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] Board meeting minutes - Board call 2013-03-25
by Robert Schweikert 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hi, Here are the meeting minutes from the board call this past Monday. As always you can find the minutes in the wiki (https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting#Meeting_2013-03-25) and if you have questions, or concerns you may raise them on this list or contact the board directly on the board list. Regrads, Your openSUSE Board Board Meeting 2013-25-03 Present: Richard, Andrew, Robert Excused: Raymond - Company Meeting Vincent - Customer call Will - MIA 1.) Review Action Items - No board report :( - CLT issues followed up 2.) Face to Face Meeting Agenda - Items collected, ready to post first draft of the agenda to the wiki 3.) Accessibility issue - The proposal raised on the board list is to add a new category to our Bugzilla to clearly mark accessibility issues as such. There are two main concerns, one is that this is a technical issue and thus the board should keep its fingers out of this issue. The second concern is that creating a specific category may make it easier for people to "pass the buck" by expecting someone in the non existent accessibility team to fix the problem. Having a separate category for accessibility (a11y) on the other hand will send a clear message that we as the openSUSE community care about people with disabilities. While we have no specific resources to address a11y issues it is important to acknowledge that an a11y issues can easily make the system unusable for a handicapped person. While adding to the bug category list is definitely a technical issue, the a11y topic has a very large community component and thus the board thinks it is appropriate to act in this area. We can certainly not dictate any action, however a message will be sent to the -factory mailing list asking for consideration of the topic by the developers. The argument was made that a11y bugs should fit into the categories we already have and that we might easier fall into a "pass the buck" situation with a new category. It is the consensus that we should be able to address the "pass the buck" issue with a policy/procedure. As far as using existing categories is concerned the problem might be that we get into a priority flip flop situation if we do not have a separate category. A person with a disability might mark a bug as Critical, but a developer not fully understanding the consequences might relabel it as category 2 or 3. Having an a11y category would address such priority flip/flop issues. The board will, after additional discussion on the board list, send a proposal to the -factory list for consideration by the developer community. The proposal will recommend the addition of an a11y category to Bugzilla and a proposal on how to handle the bugs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] LinuxTag - Call for Volenteers
by Richard Brown 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hi all, Thanks to the response of my urgent call for volunteers, we've been able to go ahead and arrange a booth for LinuxTag, which this year is happening May 22-25. We could still do with more volunteers to help with the booth. Anyone who volunteers to commit a significant amount of their time helping at our booth is eligible for a FREE pass to the conference (a saving of €50 for a 4 day ticket) I have to be the one to book the Exhibitor pass for you, so please *email me* if you're able to attend and in need of an Exhibitor pass. I intend to book the first round of tickets for volunteers on Friday 12th April - if you do not volunteer by this date, I cant be sure if I'll be able to arrange an Exhibitors pass. Once you've let me know you're volunteering please update the wiki page here https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:LinuxTag This page is where we're keeping all the event information together so everyone can be sure what's going on. For those community members who might need additional financial support in order to attend, I suggest you consider applying to the Travel Support Programme: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program Please make sure you get an answer from the team before booking any travel or hotel, but don't delay in letting me know you're willing to help :) Many thanks, and here's hoping for a typically great openSUSE presence at LinuxTag in just under 2 months! :) - Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Anybody in the Louisville, Kentucky area? I won't be able to make it, but I was in Louisville last year. A fun city to visit, and since this is a new event, a great opportunity to evangelize openSUSE awesomeness to a new audience.

[opensuse-project] was: XBMC Tutorial - Kiosk Mode + openSUSE 12.3
by Nelson Marques 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

A few things: 1) I've put effort in using Portuguese that would be easy to translate; if you pass through Google translate you will notice that it's easily translated to english in a clear way, except in one sentence. Sure some minor fixes are needed, but for the most, it works fairly nice. Do the same with other pages and see the differences. Now I understand why I had to learn the language for 12 years. 2) I have also a few scripts that I use for some tasks (ex: scanning directories for media files and create NFO files for with 'mediainfo' (already on the distro) for easy library and artwork downloads on XBMC). I have also a few other scripts for cron to integrate with transmission-daemon, but those are custom made for my own use case... but I can share. I've submitted a few time ago an update to run transmission-daemon as system service. So it's just a matter of editing the script and changing one or two path's. 3) I haven't mentioned on the article, but people can also enable the HTTP server on XBMC and use the an Android App as remote control for the laptop. 4) I have the xml files to make a bootable iso with XBMC, I can share those if needed, but in that case a few packages need to go to OBS since I create the iso based on a local repo with a few packages I made (ex: XBMC plymouth theme, which integrates nice) and a few addons I've built RPM packages. If any of this is wanted, let me know I can share them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] XBMC Tutorial - Kiosk Mode + openSUSE 12.3
by Nelson Marques 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

In recent discussions on a foreign forum I participate there were some references for running XBMC in Kiosk Mode; I've written a tutorial (very minimalist) to run XBMC in Kiosk mode using openSUSE 12.3 in an old laptop (as discussed in the original thread in the foreign forum). The tutorial is here: https://pt.opensuse.org/SDB:Tutorial_XBMC Any translators willing to translate it to other languages, feel free to do it; it's currently written in European Portuguese (the language spoken in Portugal and all former colonies except Brazil). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] mentors needed
by Ayush Agrawal 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

hi everyone, i am looking forward to applying for gsoc 2013. There are two ideas that i am interested in that do not have any mentors. 1.Interactive Tutorial 2.MirrorBrain: buffer-cache-friendly mirror selection I think an interactive tutorial would be great as most of the people new to opensuse are reluctant to go through the documentation and an interactive tutorial on it would help them to explore this beautiful OS. I went through the mirror brain concept and would really like to try and optimise the existing framework. If anyone is interested to mentor these two ideas, please add yourself as a mentor in the respective idea. Regards.

[opensuse-project] Packaging Kolab.org Groupware
by Torsten Grote 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Dear all, you might have heard that the truly Free Software Groupware Kolab has been released recently in version 3 and has undergone a major rewrite. It supports several native clients and now also mobile phones with ActiveSync. Soon there will also be CalDAV and CardDAV support. So you'll have all freedom to synchronize your personal data across all your devices without relying on big 'cloud' providers. The old Kolab 2 had been packaged for OpenSUSE, but is totally outdated now. Aeneas Jaißle restarted the packaging efforts for Kolab 3 and has made amazing progress. Everything is packaged and can be installed right away. Thanks Aeneas! You can read more about the progress and the current state of the packages in Aeneas' blog [1]. We are still looking for more people who could test the packages and provide feedback. If somebody wants to help with packaging that would even be more awesome. Some little help can already have a big impact and take some weight off of Aeneas' shoulders. You'll find the packages at the OpenSUSE Build Service [2] [3]. Some more outdated information is in the OpenSUSE wiki [4]. If somebody could help bring this up to date, this would be very much appreciated. If you like to get in touch with Aeneas, you'll find him at OBS [5]. And if you haven't tried out Kolab yet, you probably should. There is a public demo [6] if you just want to take a quick look. Kind Regards, Torsten [1] https://kolab.org/blogs/aeneas-jai%C3%9Fle [2] https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=server%3AKolab%3AUNSTABLE [3] https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=server%3AKolab%3AExtras [4] https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Kolab [5] https://build.opensuse.org/home?user=aeneas_jaissle [6] https://MyKolab.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] ownCloud/openSUSE collaboration for GSoC 2013
by Alessandro Cosentino 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi, I am happy to announce a collaboration between openSUSE and ownCloud to participate in GSoC 2013. As most of you know, in the last year we have participated under KDE. This is no longer possible, so this year our projects will be hosted under openSUSE. I created a section for ownCloud projects on the openSUSE wiki: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas#ownCloud If you are interested in mentoring a project (and you should!), please list it there. Some students have already shown interest for some projects, namely: - an app for Prey - integration with Shiva See related emails in the mailing list. It would be awesome if you could stand up and volunteer to mentor these projects.

[opensuse-project] Urgent - Call for Volunteers openSUSE@LinuxTag May 22-25
by Richard Brown 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Apologies for the cross posting, but given the deadline only being a few days away I want to make sure this reaches as many potential volunteers as possible. As you may already be aware, LinuxTag 2013 is happening this year during May 22 to 25 in Berlin, Germany. Currently, it appears the openSUSE project has not organised a booth for the conference, which I and the rest of the Board think is a great shame, given LinuxTag is one of Europes largest Open Source events. We're looking for at least 1 volunteer from the community to help co-ordinate the openSUSE presence at LinuxTag, and ideally several more to help staff the booth. If you think you can help out, please contact me on email at RBrownCCB(a)opensuse.org as soon as possible, and I'll do what I can to help put the proposal together. The deadline to apply for a booth at LinuxTag is March 22, so we really need to get a move on if we're going to have openSUSE on the showroom floor. Further details of the process can be found here: http://wiki.linuxtag.org/w/fp:Call_for_Projects Many Thanks and Have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-project] GSoC Idea: Wayland Input method protocol support for Fcitx
by Weng Xuetian 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi all, I'm the main developer of Fcitx. For those who might not know about fcitx, it's a input method framework that helps people type different languages under Linux, and it is now the default IMF for Simplified Chinese under openSUSE. As we also work close with openSUSE people for packaging and testing, someone in openSUSE suggests me to apply for GSoC within openSUSE projects. So there it is, :) https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas#Wayland_Input_method_protocol_s… And I have already found a student to work with. Is there anything else I should do? Thanks in advance!

[opensuse-project] openSUSE 12.3 Release
by Agustin Benito Bethencourt 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi, the last few months/weeks the openSUSE Team, together with many of you, has been focused on the openSUSE 12.3 Release. This week we are on the process of analyzing the work done the last few months in this area. Thanks to all of you who have contributed to this effort. There are some key activities that SUSE has been doing (or heavily involved) in the past that we think the community can take over, following the examples of the openSUSE Conference and the TSP. One example that is on the table right now are Hackathons. The Board has recently made a call for volunteers to help in organization tasks. It is very important that a group of community members take this responsibility. Hackathons have been very useful and we would like to support more in the future. Is up to the community to decide which ones, when, what for, etc. SUSE will take care of booking the accommodation, preparing the facilities, etc. Please consider contributing in this area. Connected to the above, we are developing a tool for managing the TSP that will help to reduce the workload impact on the TSP committee due to the increasing relevance of the Program. We plan to have it on production for the openSUSE Conference.

[opensuse-project] GSoC Idea : Porting bento to Twitter Bootstrap
by Raghu Nayyar 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi Guys, I am Raghu Nayyar, a third year undergraduate from BITS Pilani University, India. I was going through the list of ideas for Google Summer of Code 2013 by openSUSE and found interest with *Porting bento to twitter bootstrap*. I have been a regular contributor as an Interaction Designer and Developer to ownCloud[1] since quite some time now and have a proficiency in HTML, CSS, Git and JavaScript along with a sound knowledge about Interface and Interaction Design. I have forked the GitHub repository[2] for openSUSE-themes and I am ready to contribute. Please help me getting started with it and also redirect me to the right person. Thanks a lot in advance!

Yes. Thanks from me too. Please note that this is a huge amount of work if we want to do this on our own. So as long as we can work with friendly projects like openSUSE I prefer to do that.

[opensuse-project] Fwd: opensuse-community.org wiki

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jan Papež (honyczek) <honyczek-mailing(a)email.cz> Date: 2013/3/15 Subject: opensuse-community.org wiki To: opensuse-web(a)opensuse.org Hi, recently I've encountered opensuse-community.org wiki, but I don't understand, which role it has? It's content seem to be rather duplicating, eg.: https://en.opensuse.org/Restricted_formats http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats I've noticed that openSUSE Project teams use openSUSE Wiki to manage themselves. Is somebody using opensuse-community Wiki to manage himself? What's purpose of opensuse-community Wiki? Should be translated? Thanks.

[opensuse-project] Geeko Pumping Iron Session - openSUSE ARM Hackathon 08-12Apr
by Andrew Wafaa 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Now that openSUSE 12.3 is out, the openSUSE ARM Team[0] want to step up a gear. As the cycle was shorter than normal, there are a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out and also a whole heap of new things that can be added. After some discussion at FOSDEM, it was decided to hold a Hackathon to address these items. The Hackathon will take place on 08 to 12 April, both at the SUSE offices in Nuremberg as well as online for those that can't attend in person. We have a TODO list which comprises the following: * AArch64 fixes for 12.3 & Factory * Resolve outstanding 12.3 package issues * Test and release 12.3 images * Create OpenStack images for ARM * Get KVM and Xen on Chromebook & Arndale running * OBS improvements There will also be the opportunity for new device bring up for those that want to, but our intention is to work through and complete as much of the above TODO list as possible first. For those interested in joining in the fun, please either join us in Nuremberg and/or join the opensuse-arm mailing list[1], the #opensuse-arm IRC channel on Freenode[2] and also keep an eye on the openSUSE on ARM Trello board[3]. If you have any questions please let us know on the mailing list or on IRC. 0 - https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:ARM 1 - http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm 2 - irc://freenode.net/#opensuse-arm 3 - https://trello.com/board/opensuse-on-arm/5007cfc12cf0ae352e21d8dc -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
