[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.

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

[opensuse-project] Board meeting minutes 2013-03-11
by Robert Schweikert 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, Please find below the meeting minutes for the board meeting this past Monday. As always the meeting minutes are also posted on the wiki https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting#Meeting_2013-03-25 Agenda 1.) Review Action items 2.) CLT issues brought to boards attention Minutes Present: Richard, Vincent, Will, Robert, Andrew Missing: Raymond, on a business trip 1.) Review Action Items No progress on board report, Vincent will work on this today No reply yet from events team on help request concerning Hackathon organization Announcement concerning Pascal's resignation completed 2.) CLT issues An issue regarding CLT has been brought to the boards attention. It appears that a few things went awry with respect to getting people energized to give talks, man the booth and have hardware available. One of the underlying issues appears to be a communication and expectation issue. After the reorg at SUSE from the Boosters team to the openSUSE team we have not done a great job in setting expectations and communicated the new channels of communication. The board needs to address this and provide better information to the community. The board will make this one of the topics to be discussed extensively at the face to face meeting in April. Robert to communicate with the CLT participants that raised the issue about the board discussion and next action items. We definitely want community members to pick up the ball for events such as CLT and somehow there was an issue in getting everything worked out. We have to improve on the process and make things easier for community members. If you have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to respond to this thread or contact the board directly on the board mailing list.

[opensuse-project] Fwd: [Reminder] GSoC Ideas on Ideas Page and Mentors
by Saurabh Sood 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hi, We have about 15 days to have a solid ideas page for Google Summer of Code this year. Applications start on the 17th of March. At the moment, I put up the projects from last year's ideas page on the wiki page, but they are open to be taken by mentors. Feel free to add your name to the mentors. There is a lot of interest among students about Google Summer of Code for openSUSE, and I have got many mails from prospective students about the ideas that we have on the ideas page. I think we should spend some effort into making our participation successful. Our Ideas Page: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GSOC_ideas Please put up your ideas / make yourself available for mentoring on the ideas that we already have on the page. -- Regards,. Saurabh Sood Have a lot of fun! -- Regards,.
