[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] openSUSE 2014 Conference - may it happen in France ?
by Alexis "Agemen" 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Hi all, we, the french openSUSE community, are working on a location proposal for the openSUSE Conference 2014. The core team is complete while we're still working on the exact location. Candidate cities are currently Bordeaux, Nantes and Paris. The application is not full yet but we thought it was important to let you know we are working on it.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC2013-Hedgewars] New Campaign Adventure
by Periklis Ntanasis 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hi all, I am Periklis and this summer I'll be coding a new campaign for the hedgewars project. The campaign it's going to be about a space trip adventure, so if you like hedgewars and space trips stick around and check my progress :) At the moment I am working on adding more functionality (regarding the stats displayed to the players) to the hedgewars' lua api which is used by the campaign. I am also shaping the campaign's story line a little bit more. I am going to expose more details and discuss it further with hedgewars' community in a few days. You can check my latest progress in my hedgewars clone here: https://code.google.com/r/pntanasis-hedgewars/ You can reach me in the #hedgewars channel on freenode if you want to contact me. My nickname is Master_ex. I'll start sending more detailed reports as the coding period starts.

[opensuse-project] Forum registration has many data that a user doesn't want to give
by Efstathios Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hello, I got few complaints about forum registration form. The form has fields for address, phone number etc. Most of my friends used fake information. But I still got the complain that there are many personal information that the new user doesn't want to provide. Do you think that we can do something about it? #osc13, Stathis -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis Great leaders don't tell you what to do...

[opensuse-project] [GSOC2013] Progress Report on Git-Review
by Dong Xu 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi All, For those of you who are not familiar with Git-Review, it is a command-line utility for managing the review workflow for Github projects, developed by Dominik(@b4mboo). Over this summer, I will be working on this project to improve it, adding more functionality and possibly extending it to work with other git systems. The first part of the project is to refactor it, so that the structure is more modular and object-oriented. Simply put, it involves moving pieces of code into separate models where they actually belong. This not only benefits testing and maintenance, but also makes extending new features easier. As the refactoring requires quite some big changes (at ground level), I did all the work on a forked repo[1] of the original Git-Review. My plan is that when the refactoring is done, and more importantly all tests are passed, I will merge it back to the upstream repo. From then on, together with Dominik, I will work as a co-contributor to carry out the next phase of the project. Currently, the refactoring is about 80% done. The "ground-level" changes are pretty much completed, what's left is changes to (mostly) tests, and clean-up of code. I will keep you updated on the progress of this project. Cheers, Xu --- [1] https://github.com/xystushi/git-review/tree/refactor_internals -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] TIdeSDK not working on openSUSE 12.3 64bit
by Ish Sookun 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hello folks, I installed TideSDK as explained on its site : http://tidesdk.multipart.net/docs/user-dev/generated/#!/guide/getting_start… Upon running, a dialog box appears with the User agreement. When I accept and click run, the dialog vanishes. I ran the same from command line and got the following : >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ish@inote:~/.tidesdk> ./TideSDK\ Developer /home/ish/.tidesdk/installer/installer: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /home/ish/.tidesdk/installer/installer) (process:1715): GLib-WARNING **: goption.c:2175: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (32) on option of arg-type 4 in entry (null):updatefile (process:1715): GLib-WARNING **: goption.c:2175: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (32) on option of arg-type 1 in entry (null):type (process:1715): GLib-WARNING **: goption.c:2175: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (32) on option of arg-type 0 in entry (null):sudo (process:1715): GLib-WARNING **: goption.c:2175: ignoring no-arg, optional-arg or filename flags (32) on option of arg-type 5 in entry (null): (installer:1715): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple: assertion `dest_width > 0' failed >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I can confirm you that libcurl.so.4 is present. I came across TideSDK while looking for one on which I could develop HTML5 apps for both desktop & mobile (Android). My search led to TideSDK. Their source is available at https://github.com/TideSDK/TideSDK. I'm not a professional coder but I know some HTML, SQL and PHP and a little bit of Perl scripting. So, I felt this tool could do the trick. The packages on the website contains only the binary and some libraries. So, you can just extract and run it. There is a Code Challenge being organized in Mauritius. Some friends and I are participating to build an HTML5 app. Since this event will be viewed by many we thought why not building on top of openSUSE. We could push & promote openSUSE there. I've ran the TideSDK application on Linux Mint 15 though, the only library that was missing was libjpeg62. Once installed it ran fine. I am now trying to figure out what's missing in openSUSE so that I can run it properly. We're just 2 weeks away from the Code Challenge. I've posted the same question on the forums & facebook groups. Due to the short notice we have, grateful if someone can help in getting the SDK run on openSUSE. Thank you. Regards, Ish Sookun - Geek by birth ...
