[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. 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] 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

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

[opensuse-project] Gsoc interest in CloudStack/Eucalyptus setup
by Kaan Özdinçer 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi, I'm a graduate student on Computer Engineering/Network Security[0] degree at Gebze Institute of Technology(GIT)[1] at Turkey. I am very interested in "CloudStack/Eucalyptus setup " project at OpenSUSE. Why is the OpenSUSE' s this project and would like to explain that. First of all, I used to be a Pardus[3] developer until recently. After 2 years contribution, i also had the opportunity to work at TUBITAK/UEKAE [4][5] But after TUBITAK finished project's life, all Pardus developer resigned. Now pardus is available as debian fork and don't develop as public. Now, i'm working part-time on social-game company as Linux System Administrator. (3 days work, 2 days school) Maintain some servers on AWS with Chef and other tools. I'm a 6-7 years Debian user. But use openSUSE the last three months. I decided to be contributer/packager to openSUSE. I think GSOC is good start to be contributer to openSUSE in the future. I'm thinking thas is best project for me on GSOC ideas and will want to be accepted this project. Before applying with my proposal, i wanted to write to you and getting some advices in this proggress. I started to learn how is packaging at opensuse. What should i read? what should i work on? This[6] is my github account and these are my packages[7] at old pardus repository Thanks, Best regards.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC 2013] Questions regarding "Mobile app that syncs with ownCloud News app"
by Bhargav G 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hello Sorry for this late mail. I have mailed Alessandra and have been waiting for his reply. I finally found this mailing list and thought i could get some response here. I am Bhargav, a Computer Science undergraduate student from BITS-Pilani, India. I am an avid mobile app developer. I worked on Phonegap apps during GSoC 2012 with Apache Software Foundation and have developed many Windows Phone apps. I am also well versed with native android app development. I have developed an Android app[1] for Exotel Techcom Pvt. Ltd. and it is being used by its clientele of over 2000 firms. My github account[2] will provide much more details about my developer expertise. In my search to find an organization that has challenging problem statements in Mobile application areas, I found openSUSE and was very much interested in the this project which requires a mobile app that syncs with ownCloud News. While I was trying to come up with a feasible solution and plan to write a good proposal, I got a few questions. 1. Could I get a look at ownCloud News API documentation? 2. Why was a Phonegap app considered? It is known that Native apps are faster than Phonegap apps. But, phonegap provides us the ability of releasing multiple platforms at once. I am well versed with both native and Phonegap app development. Answering this question will help me in coming to a consensus regarding app's design. Also, building native app provides us with the ability of optimizing battery life of device without polling server for news. 3. I got this idea of a new notification when a user favourite topic gets a new article. How would that be? I would be very much obliged if I am provided with answers to these questions and whatever questions that may arise in future as they will help me in writing a good proposal and in turn get chosen to openSUSE.

I am really not worried about phonegap vs android sdk. One interesting point of concern I had can phonegap support multipl e languages, which I think should be necessary as planet.oo is written in many languages > 2. By "notifying users of new articles", do you mean the actual > notifications on Android/iPhone? Again this can be a configurable option, and the features are upto you to decide, one basic requirement that I have is that the rss feeds should be propoerly parsed and the complete article should be displayed on the app itself. > 3.

I have been using both C/C++ and Python for a while and hope to finish this project while learning more about open-source culture. The wonderful project proposed is a brain child of John Johansen and Christian Boltz. We believe its necessary to do rewrite of the profile management application from scratch to fix all the pending bugs and make it more maintainable. Looking forward to support and any ideas that maybe presented.

[opensuse-project] Introducing myself for GSoC 2013 Project : openSUSE News/Planet on Android
by Lasitha Wattaladeniya 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Hi all, I am Lasitha Wattaladeniya, final year undergraduate from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Moratuwa. I am really interested to take part in this year's GSOC program and I think "openSUSE News/Planet on Android" is an interesting project that I'm willing to contribute. High Level behaviour of the application "openSUSE News/Planet on Android" application will bring you news related to OpenSUSE with Flipboard [1] like experience. It also capable of bringing you activities happening on Social networks related to openSUSE. Why me? I have competent in Android Development, Java, C# .Net and also related web technologies like HTML, XML, JavaScript and JQuery. I am really a Open Source enthusiastic and I have dig into various other open source technologies like Mono [2] as well. I also have done nearly 8 months of industrial training at Virtusa pvt [3], therefore I believe that I am capable of taking up the responsibility of "openSUSE News/Planet on Android" project and complete it within the given time period. You can also have a look at my blog [4]. I was working on this project, understanding requirements and searching for information sources, in past weeks. Sorry for the late introduction. I really appreciate if anyone can give me feedbacks and comments regarding my idea. I am looking forward to submit the project proposal within this week. Thank you Lasitha Wattaladeniya http://about.me/wattale [1]. http://flipboard.com/ [2]. http://mono-project.com/Main_Page [3]. http://www.virtusa.com/ [4]. http://techreadme.blogspot.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] netcdf static libraries opensuse
by S. Gimeno Garcia 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hi, in my institute and many others around the world the libraries "libnetcdf" and "libnetcdff" are used in a regular basis. Since release 12.2, the static libraries are not included in the devel packages any more. It would be very helpful for the weather, climate and space community (among others) if you could provide the netcdf-devel-static package. Do you plan to include it in the future? It would be nice and practical to have the netcdf-devel-static package in an official repository. In the case of the close related "hdf5" package, it seems not to be any problem to provide the hdf5-devel-static in the Science repository. Could you please consider the possibility of providing a netcdf-devel-static package (including libnetcdf.a and libnetcdff.a) in a similar way (e.g. in Science repository)? It would make things much easier for us ... .

[opensuse-project] GSOC 2013: OpenSuSE proposal software for tasks
by Panos Georgiadis 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hello there, My name is Panos and I am an undergraduate student of Control System engineering in Greece. I would like to participate in GSOC 2013 for OpenSUSE and this is my idea. More information about my knowledge in Computer Science, programming and Linux can be found here. btw I have no experience in Qt 5 but Ispeak C++ fluently. So, learning QML and Qt is not a problem for me. (link: panosgeorgiadis.com/about-me/ ) The problem: I am using Linux for the past 10 years (or 9) and all I see in forums are the same old questions. How to install that, How to install this, etc. Even in 2013, with Google search engine, one-click installers, a web full of tutorials,guides and how-to videos, people still keep asking for trivial stuff, like how to install graphics drivers, codecs, etc. Sometimes they make it, sometimes they don't and then they try a different distro with out-of-the box features, like Ubuntu. Real life scenario: When my sister installed OpenSuSE 12.3 last week, she couldn't play media (video) files. Thus, she downloaded VLC from OBS, but again she couldn't play the video due to the missing codecs. But she doesn't know what a codec is, so she downloaded all the possible media players through OBS and yet she couldn't play the video file. Another example, many friends of mine are gamers and they use Windows 7. Now, they want to test Steam in Linux and they go for Ubuntu installation. Why ? Let's say about nvidia and amd drivers, more and more people are trying Steam in Linux and they need proprietary drivers for their GPUs. Most of them are afraid to mess with driver-related stuff and finally they go with Ubuntu or Windows. Others, they don't even know what GPU they have or if their Radeon HD2000/3000/4000 is Legacy supported and even more if the new xorg is supported by the new driver etc etc. X broken situations. OpenSuSE needs to provide easy and modern way of handling with such trivial tasks. Don't get me wrong, OBS and one-click installers are great, excellent, magic tools but to use them you need to know what software you need in the first place. So, new Linux users, users that migrate from Windows 8 to Linux and don't know what software they need. They never heard of k3b, but Nero burning rom and such stuff. All they know is their task (eg burn a DVD), and OpenSUSE needs to provide them with the necessary tools to do the job in the most lazy and convenient way. Idea: Develop a program like Fedora's easylife (google it) exclusively for OpenSuSE that allows you to install must-have application based in tasks (like "Play Steam games") just by clicking. Imagine a program that is built only for OpenSuSE and allows you to mess with such trivial must-have applications. But this program will be useful for everyone, not just the "newbies". eg let's say I want to install all the programs I need to program in C++ with OpenCV and CUDA or OpenCL. I don't have the time to search into forums, I don't have the time to look for tutorials. But even providing me with an one-click installer, I have to know which programs I need in order to search for them and install them. Clicking is not the problem. But "where" to click ;) I am talking you about the most laziest and most boring user has ever been. - He wants to watch video. Click and install all the necessary stuff. - He wants to play Steam. Click and install all the necessary stuff. - He wants to record a song with his guitar using Line6 POD HD. Click and install. - He wants to develop an Android app. Click and install all the necessary stuff. - He wants to make a Youtube video. Click and install all the necessary stuff for screencasting, video editing etc. - He wants to setup phpmyadmin in localhost. Click and install all the necessary stuff. Whatever he wants, OpenSuSE provides him in most easy way. Just click the "task" he wants, not the "programs" and make it optimized and pre-configured for OpenSuSE distro. Many people use their scripts and let's face it, when you install a distro for the first time we all look for 10-things you have to do first after install OpenSUSe/Ubuntu/Fedora etc. So, why not, make a community software that is controlled by the community and not individuals personal opinions -- Jim's, Panos's, Andrew's, Maria's (randomly picked names). So, instead of developing a Software Center, develop a Task Center for anyone who wants to do a simple task. I think that the "recipe" is more important the "ingredients". Let me know your ideas and if this is good enough for GSOC project :) Have a nice day all of you :) -- Best Regards, Panos Georgiadis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] GSoC project ideas: zypper improvements and better grub
by okordy 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Hello, I'm a student from Poland and I'd like to take part in Google Summer of Code this year. I'm missing some features in opensuse distribution, so I wanted to work on one of them during the summer. Please rate these ideas and comment about chances of accepting them. Idea #1: external boot selection sources for Grub2 (windows; serial port) This one is rather cross-distribution topic, but may require creating distribution-specific tools (which could be incorporated to grub project, if they wants to). Problem scenario #1: I'm working (at the moment) on Windows, installed an system update and want to reboot. So, I click "reboot" and go to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. When I come back, linux is started, because it was default selection and grub booted into it. Problem scenario #2: My PC is shut down and I want to boot into Windows. I press "power" and wait for system to boot. BIOS takes some time to check the hardware, grub waits 3 seconds for OS selection and... I'm late for selecting Windows, because I was disturbed for a moment by something else. Problem scenario #3: I want to boot my PC remotely to Windows, using Ethernet card boot feature. I have to boot into default system (linux) first, then reboot into Windows. Common problem: I have to stare at monitor during boot process, to not overlook Grub menu - if I miss it, I waste lots of time to wait for reboot to correct OS. Suggested solution: I wanted to implement simple-to-use tools to make it possible to: - select "reboot to" OS directly from Windows (like it's currently done in opensuse) - this would include preparing configuration tool for linux (to setup grub, or windows app, if needed), patching grub itself (also, if needed) and implementing Windows application, which would let select next boot-once OS for Grub and reboot PC. Such Windows tool would be splitted into at least two components: pure command-line tool just to set boot-once setting and GUI app to easily use it. - (optional) make it possible to control grub via physical device (connected, for example, via serial port). It would make it possible for user to build a simple-as-possible switch, which would let him select OS *before* powering on or rebooting PC - (optional, I'm not sure if it's possible to do it during GSoC, or won't require too much dependencies) make it possible to select OS when booting from Ethernet card Idea #2: zypper and yast2 improvements to make them more comfortable I've found some areas, where zypper could be improved a bit: - "zypper ref" (and also, yast) could (maybe optionally) refresh multiple repositories at once - this would really speed up refresh process. It's not as trivial as it may look like - there have to be handled UI requests (for example, about inability to download some file) in correct order, progress bars handled correctly and so on. But it's definitely possible. - ability to search directly in http://software.opensuse.org/search (with option to omit "home:" directories) - this includes (optional) yast interface and automatic repository adding (after prompt, of course) - complete uninstall feature: zypper should remember, which packages were automatically installed when user wanted to install other package. If he wanted just A package, and it required B and C, zypper would remember it. When user wants to *completely uninstall* A, then B and C would be removed also (but only, if other packages, installed after A, doesn't depend on them). There are some pitfalls, that have to be handled: D was installed few days after A and it depends on C; user uninstalla A, so B is uninstalled also (but not C); at last, user uninstalls D and C is no longer needed. Please, rate those ideas and tell me, how high are the chances for GSoC with these two.

[opensuse-project] Apply for GSOC 2013 under "Code review for projects on GitHub"
by Benoît Legat 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

Hi, I am a Belgian student in Engineering at the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve (UCL). I am 20 and currently in my second year of bachelor and I have token applied mathematics and computer science as options. I am familiar with Ruby on Rails, C/C++, Java, Android, Python and Oz. I am developing 2 websites in Ruby on Rails, one for managing vocabulary lists (https://github.com/blegat/openvoc) and one for training for mathematical olympiads (http://www.imo-official.org/) (https://github.com/blegat/ombtraining). For these 2 projects, I use RSpec, git and github. So I would say that I have a quite good experience with Ruby, Git and RSpec. I would love to contribute to git-review under the openSUSE umbrella. git-review is currently able to create a pull request from the CLI, list all pull requests, show it in the terminal, open it in a browser, get a local copy of the code, approve it, close it and merge it. According to the github issues of the project and the openSUSE idea's page, here a some improvements that could be done * Enable git-review to work on different forks of a project (it was on the idea's page, I don't really understand what it means, perhaps a summary of the issues about the tool being too upstream/master specific); * Use the latest GitHub API (v3); * Add support for Prophet which is a tool that "Loops through open pull requests on a GitHub hosted repository and runs your code (i.e. tests) on the merged branch. After the run has finished, Prophet will post a comment to the pull request stating whether the execution succeeded or failed."; * Continue the work being done to fully test git-review with rspec (https://github.com/b4mboo/git-review/issues/1); * Create requests to other repos and branches than upstream/master (https://github.com/b4mboo/git-review/issues/4); * The diffs are currently displayed against the local master, it would be nice to display it against master on github (https://github.com/b4mboo/git-review/issues/6); * Reviews are currently against master only except if the TARGET_BRANCH environment variable is set. I would be nice to find a more comfortable way to do this (https://github.com/b4mboo/git-review/issues/14); * Create pull request off from existing issue to avoid duplicate (https://github.com/b4mboo/git-review/issues/27). I find this tool very interesting and while its current state looks quite good, it still requires some work to be feature complete. However I don't think each of these feature would take so long to implement and I'm convinced that I will be able to implement all the items I've mentioned above during GSoC. Do you have any ideas of features I could add to/remove from the list ? I have found a similar tool for gerrit written in Python (https://github.com/openstack-infra/git-review), do you think that could be a good idea to make this tool compatible with both github and gerrit ? That way, it would be the same tool for both services for the developers. Do you think it is worth it or useless duplication of effort ?

[opensuse-project] Fwd: GSoC 2013 openSUSE Android app
by Prathamesh Karve 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi, I am a third year BTech student from VJTI, Mumbai. Would love to contribute to the community through the Android app. I have been working on Android for almost a more than a year now and have worked on a number of innovative apps. Two of them published on the Play Store can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=R-on-Droid#?t=W251bGwsbnVsb….. A bit late to post here, but from my discussions till now with my mentor Manu Gupta, I intend to implement the following: The Planets, News and Lizards sections with RSS reader and WebViews. Notifications to users about recent posts as and when they get posted. I have the experience of implementing both of the above in an app I developed. Have begun work on bringing these and other functionalities of the website to the app. Any suggestions are welcome, Thanks and regards, Prathamesh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Interested in GSOC 2013
by Umang Kedia 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi Manu, This email is in reference to GSOC 2013 idea mentioned on your page. I am 4th year Computer Science student from BITS Pilani, India. I am proficient in Java and I have experience with building Android applications. I developed an Android app for my college fest which was a simple RSS reader to notify people about the events during college fest. Apart from that I have great interest in Algorithms, computer networks and operating systems. I constantly take part in online coding competitions. I am also proficient in C, PHP, JavaScript and MySQL. I developed a quizzing website for my college's annual fest which was based on PHP and JavaScript. Regarding the app, how can we access the data from openSuse planet. Means is there any RSS feed generated for each activity or do I have to get the data directly from the server. Also, it would be better if we use Phonegap and jQuery UI for developing the app since it would be cumbersome to include web data in Native android app. Please contact me for further details. Also, I am applying to GSOC for the first time, so kindly mail me if I am missing anything. I am really interested to work on this project. If needed I will contact you on IRC. EDIT: I discussed with Manu regarding Phonegap and jQuery UI. Phonegap is good option but webView can also be used as other Android apps like Quora and Facebook use them very nicely. Both will be able to interact with Native android sdk. I will research more about them. Thank you. -- Umang Kedia Student, BITS Pilani-Hyderabad Campus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] interest in contributing to the opensuse news android app
by Shivam Bhalla 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

hi, my name is Shivam Bhalla and i am a second year student of computer science. i am very passionate about mobile app development for android and am interested in participating in gsoc 2013 with opensuse as my organisation of preference. i am interested in working on the opensuse news app on android. some of the ideas that i propose for this app are 1. an rss feed where the user can swipe using view pager between various news such as recent topics , top rated topics etc 2. the topics will be presented in an interactive list with users being able to expand every item to a full view on touching 3. on opening a particular item, i intend to integrate the app with facebook like and share as well as tweet functionality among others. this can be presented in two ways-: a. using a sliding drawer at the bottom for sharing across various platforms b. using contextual action bar switching on long press with options to share.(using actionbar sherlock library) 4. i also plan to include an elaborate login and settings view by which, the user can create an account and also, using settings, decide how often the feed is to be updated etc. 5. another feature which this app could have is opensuse info, by which, newbies to the opensuse world and students can know about various suites available on the OS and how it is analogous to something that they have used before. 6. other UI features which i could possibly include are daydreams screensaver for posts display in sleep mode, or homescreen/lockscreen widgets etc. s please let me know your opinion on these ideas as well as any suggestions that you may have regarding them. many thanks Shivam Bhalla -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Interested in GSOC 2013
by Umang Kedia 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi Manu, This email is in reference to GSOC 2013 idea mentioned on your page. I am 4th year Computer Science student from BITS Pilani, India. I am proficient in Java and I have experience with building Android applications. I developed an Android app for my college fest which was a simple RSS reader to notify people about the events during college fest. Apart from that I have great interest in Algorithms, computer networks and operating systems. I constantly take part in online coding competitions. I am also proficient in C, PHP, JavaScript and MySQL. I had also developed a quizzing website for my college's annual fest which was based on PHP and JavaScript. Regarding the app, how can we access the data from openSuse planet. Means is there any RSS feed generated for each activity or do I have to get the data directly from the server. Also, it would be better if we use Phonegap and jQuery UI for developing the app since it would be cumbersome to include web data in Native android app. Please contact me for further details. Also, I am applying to GSOC for the first time, so kindly mail me if I am missing anything. I am really interested to work on this project. If needed I will contact you on IRC. I discussed with Manu regarding Phonegap and jQuery UI. Phonegap is good option but webView can also be used as other Android apps like Quora and Facebook use them very nicely. Both will be able to interact with Native android sdk. I will research more about them. -- Umang Kedia Student, BITS Pilani-Hyderabad Campus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Introducing myself for GSoC 2013. Idea - Discussion System for the Open Build Service
by Shayon Mukherjee 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hello All, I am Shayon Mukherjee. I am an openSUSE member and have been contributing to openSUSE on and off mostly. I started with openSUSE when I was 16 and have been a FOSS and an opeSUSE boy for a long time now. Whether its school, college or a bar I try to spread the word as much as I can. And if I can, I try to contribute some code to openSUSE as well. My recent contributions to openSUSE has been towards the openSUSE summit and conference websites (although they are much better now from what i started :). Feel free to look up the openSUSE github repos. Moving on to GSoC 2013. I am really interested in contributing and hacking on the openSUSE's GSOC 2013 Idea - Discussion System for the Open Build Service. I share the same belief as my mentors, that having a commenting or a feedback system implemented to the roots of OBS will very much help with people working with OBS. Now a little about me- Age - 20 School - California State University Majors - B.S Computer Science Year - Junior (3rd year) Languages and Frameworks I work with but are not limited to - Ruby, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, PostgreSQL ,SQLite, Jquery, JS, Git, HTLM5 and CSS3. Also, I hold the ability and passion to learn new things. Since one of the major requirements of the GSoC idea is Ruby on Rails, thats what I will talk about now. I have been coding for a long time and have moved to Ruby and Ruby on rails recently. I have created custom content management systems from scratch with Rails, have had experience developing real time apps with rails, plus I have helped couple of startups built their MVP with rails as well. One of my recent projects on rails is http://tagport.herokuapp.com. Feel free to check it out, it helps user monitor hashtags from twitter and Instagram under one hood. On a side note, I have had experience working with MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite along side the apps I mentioned as well. As for my work experience goes, I have worked as a student technology assistant at the Learning Technology Center of University of Wisconsin Green Bay (October 2010 - December 2012). I have also interned as a Web Application Developer at the Richard Mauthe Centre, USA. That is all for my introduction if the mentors or anyone else have any questions or queries please feel free to get in touch with me. P.S This is just an introduction. Proposal, comes a little later ;). Cheers! Shayon Mukherjee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Google Summer Of Code 2013- Request From Anurag
by Anurag 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

BACKGROUND OF PROJECT I m Anurag , BE First Year Student Of CSE at Bangalore. I m currently working on an android app of mine and I m looking for some opportunity to work for open source community. I can design the UI of opens SUSE News/Planet on Android in such a way that it will be highly responsive , fluid and attractive of course. I can also do the coding for the app as I can use Intents,Services,BroadcastReceivers,Handler ,thread,Fragments,etc . IDEA (DEVELOPER CONSOLE):- I came up with an idea that this app must have a separate column for the suse developers where they can login with their username and password and post some thread or they can discuss some ideas with other developers on the go as android device is common tool of any developer. IDEA (COMMON USER LOOKOUT):- I would also like to add login support for common user of suse.They can login with their own unique username and password synced with their suse pc. After they are logged in they could be able to see all the packages installed in their system, any update available for any package or not .This android app should also show the top, most downloaded package on suse. IDEA (BRINGING NEW USERS):- There must be another column that reflects the brightness of suse to a person who haven’t used suse till now. This app will demonstrate the remarkable features of suse who are unknown to suse and it will surely attract them towards suse. MY WORKS As I mentioned above I am currently working on my own android app , I would like to show you the glimpse of my app .Since my coding is still going on ,it have some bugs and lacks some function but it is a matter of time I will make it complete. My app is a FileManager type app which is capable of taking backup of installed apps and can perform some basic file operations like deletion,etc.The whole app of mine is being coded on FragmentActivity And Fragments. My app can run on Android 1.6 to Android 4.1.2. I have also used the external library for my current project. ** For Best results Use android device having screen size 4 inch and resolution 480x800. I have included my apk link , if you wish you can see my work. http://hotfile.com/links/202179406/ab7d94e/UltimateTasker.apk BENEFIT If I get a chance to work with suse community ,definitely I am gonna to be benefited as suse is open source community and they are always ready to share knowledge with others. I will try my best even if it takes the eternity to benefit suse community with my work somehow.About 2 years back I started to work on Ubuntu and then onwards I totally migrated from windows to Linux OS. TECHNICAL DETAILS The person should have knowledge about Android API’s,Java,XML. If suse is impressed with my idea of “Developer Console” and “Common User Lookout” , then to implement them in an android app ,suse needs to provide their own API for android or any External Library , that’s what I believe. WHY ME i) If I am having a mentor guiding me throughout this course of 3 months I will surely complete this app . ii) I am great fan of open source terminology and I always wanted to work with them anyhow and I will myself make my app open to all. iii) Whatever project is proposed by your side ,it is within my limits of coding . iv) If get a chance to work with you I will gain something and again I future I will come up with more ideas and more programming skills. LONG TERM PLAN I am really excited to work on long term basis with suse of any other open source community if I get a chance. After the GSOC 2013 I would like to continue this project own my own for suse until it becomes the ace . Even though if GSOC ends I will continue working on android and if I work on an android app of suse for long term basis I will definitely get the support for your side and will boost my skill as well as I will be able to contribute more.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Team at SUSE update
by Agustin Benito Bethencourt 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hi, 12.3 is out! For most of the people out there this is "just another Release". For us in the openSUSE Team it has been an extraordinary one for several reasons. What we understand as Release is fact formed by two different phases: * Development phase (integration) * Release phase During 12.2, openSUSE Team at SUSE documented and executed the last few milestones of the Release process[1]. This effort allowed us, together with the work done in the Development phase done by coolo and the one done by the formed Release Team (coolo + ismail) and your continuous effort, get a Release with good acceptance. Even though 12.3 was a shorter Release, we were better prepared for assuming the responsibility. we improved and extended the documentation of the Release process[2], we reinforced the management effort, lead by Ludwig, we introduced the Hackathons in the process, we introduced the content/communication tasks earlier in the process and we added a significant amount of effort in designing and introducing QA as a relevant action of the Release process. These actions allowed us to improve the engagement with community members in several areas, increase the impact and the quality of our communication, include complex features like Secure Boot in the distribution, increase our efficiency significantly despite we have integrated new members in the team, improve several new features introduced in 12.2 (translations, social media campaign) and correct several weak points detected during the previous release. In general, from our point of view, we improved as a team and we improved the Release process. It will take time before this internal improvements have a clear impact in the quality of the distribution but those of you who are close to this effort might confirm or not this internal conclusion. Now that the Release is over, the team goes back to other tasks and the Release Team focus on factory. As you know Ismail is no longer in the team and we expect during this year many SUSE employees helping us in the openSUSE development so we are now studying new approaches to the Release Team. we expect to have a solution soon so factory goes back to a normal state. A consequence of our new approach related with QA has been the detection of several limitations in the main tool we use, openQA. Together with upstream developers, we are currently dedicating most of team resources to this tasks[3]. There are some other tasks that we are currently working on (April): * Event organization: openSUSE Board Meeting, Joint Desktop Meeting, Plasma Frameworks 5 Sprint. Now that the Release is over, we will also put energy in openSUSE Conference. * Travel Support Program Management application[4]: as you know, the involvement of SUSE in the TSP program committee is now zero, which means that is the community who now run the program. Our support is focused on the administrative, financial area. In order to increase the relevance of the Program, we have detected a need for a tool that allow the TSP, the Board and SUSE to coordinate better to become more efficient. * At SUSE, we have been preparing several proposals for the Board that we are presenting this weekend to better coordinate the following areas: ** Event/Merchandising area ** Infrastructure ** Financial * SUSE strategy and Action plan in openSUSE. we are currently discussing what are we going to do in openSUSE the following years as part of the community. In a few weeks we expect to count with a new artist for the team and, during summer, a new hacker will join the team. As you know, we are also looking for a senior KDE developer since Will Stephenson has moved to another department (thanks Will for your work in openSUSE, see you around). In order to follow our activity please check our management tool[4]. I think it kind provide a good overview of the complexity of the Release process.

[opensuse-project] providing packages issues
by Alin M Elena 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Dear All, this week two projects dear to me and I hope a lot of other users and devs got releases out: kde 4.10.2 and kde telepathy. both provided in community maintained repos KDE:Release:410 and KDE:Extra. Unfortunately if some curious, tester or old time user wants to try the packages he/she will not find them... why? simple.. obs was not really usable. I see two issues with the situation... 1. Users get frustrated cause they cannot find the latest announced versions... We fail to capitalise on the wave of interests that usually gets created when a new version is released. 2. packagers/testers get frustrated... The community did the work for these packages to be ready on time for the release... just to discover we did not have enough steam to build the official tar balls. Shall we understand that the community work is not really important for opensuse? To make things ever more annoying... my home projects build and published faster that packages in KDE:Extra... so I can conclude it is simple an issue of policies and priorities on obs... Can we have a discussion on this please? Let us try, as a community, to establish and implement a set of rules on using obs build power in such a way that gives the community repos some advantage over home and branch projects in order to make opensuse shine.

[opensuse-project] Pro-tips
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Apr '13

Heya, A while ago we published an article about 'openSUSE for non-geekos' with tips for those transitioning from other distro's to Green: https://news.opensuse.org/2013/03/22/opensuse-for-new-geekos/ Again, thanks to all who contributed to it and spread it around! This was a rather popular article but some people commented to me that current users are left out a bit. So, how about doing an article with some 'pro' geeko tips? I'd need tips for that, however. Anyone having ideas can dump them in this piratepad: http://piratepad.net/opensuse-for-ubuntu-refugees Thanks, Jos
