[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?

Re: [opensuse-project] Gsoc interest in CloudStack/Eucalyptus setup
by Greg Freemyer 30 Apr '13

Kaan, It is great to see you going thru this exercise. I'm happy to advise/mentor you on basic packaging issues, but I just realized you may be expecting me to be the GSoC mentor. I'm afraid I don't have the time or knowledge of CloudStack to do that. Hopefully someone else will step up to the plate.

That is the basic process used with OBS by all of the devs. 80% of my packaging involves that basic set of steps. The hard part is knowing what to do in the edit phase, but you'll get the hang of it (if that is new to you.) The other 20% of the time, I need to create a patch. We use quilt for that. I wouldn't bother with that for now if I was you. The tutorial link I sent you originally walks thru the process of creating a patch. Anytime I need to do that I just pull up that tutorial and follow the same steps. I do use quilt setup *.spec a lot just to expand tarballs and take a look inside. Especially for figuring out the license, you have to look inside the tarball. The list of license tokens used by openSUSE is at: http://spdx.org/licenses/ I critiqued your SR in a private mail.

[opensuse-project] About CloudStack/Eucalyptus setup project, Google summer of code.
by Pengfei Hao 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi, I am very interested in CloudStack/Eucalyptus setup project, is there any student position of this year's gsoc? I used to working on OpenStack, and this is my undergraduate final project. I notice that on idealist you mentioned "The OpenStack packages are building and the framework has been tested, yet we lack documentation around setup and configuration." I think I can do this part. I used to setup a Eucalyptus IaaS cloud with 8 physical nodes. And a OpenStack cloud with 20 physical nodes. And try to optimize the network topology under a limited network environment and it works well, all of the procedure documented by myself, so I think I can do the document and setup configuration part. I am want to participate current project, my group now using sever big clusters based on openSUSE, but mainly the MPI/OpenMPI direction, we want to try the IaaS recently, this give me another reason to participate in this project, I think my work will benefit both community and our group. But I used to be a Archlinux one. Just start my journey on desktop openSUSE recently , still learning how to use obs and rpm packaging, but I think I can figure them out soon. Please give me some information , thank you! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
