Hello mates, Since I started to create some wiki portals, I created one about Razor-qt here https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Razor-qt Unfortunately, I don't use Razor-qt and I don't know who maintains it etc. Can you please go and add your name and fill the TODO list. I guess this is the only part that needs maintain on this wiki.

[opensuse-project] [GSOC 2013] OSEM report 1
by differentreality 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

OSEM (Open Source Event Manager) Written in Ruby on Rails, OSEM offers overall organizing options for an event/conference. A quick overview of OSEM: -------------------------------------- In order to use OSEM one has to create an account (and become a user). Then information on the profile page can be added. A user can register to attend an event/conference, submit a proposal for a conference An admin can create new conferences and manage their options, see all people registered to attend a conference, see all proposals submitted and accept/reject them, create a schedule. -------------------------------------- Some of the features that I had planned for the first week were already implemented by the time that I was accepted, so I moved on down the initial list, as well as other issues that come up as I go. First week overview: - Onsite Registrations from admin panel - User page for volunteering to the conference - Minor changes in proposal submission - Some configs Pull requests: https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/pulls Next week’s plans: - Show stats in Events admin page - More stats in Registrations admin page, include dietary choices - Integrate volunteering in registration - Admin page to see all volunteers -------------------------------------- New features added this week: For users -> The ability to volunteer for a conference from a volunteer-form. For admins -> The ability to create new registrations In more details: Admins can now have an extra column in ‘Registrations’ page where they can check if a registered person actually attended the event. This is very helpful when organizers want to know how many people, from those registered, actually attended the event. Seeing the Registrations list, an admin can simply click on ‘false” in the attended column, to make it true, as in registered person attended. Admins can now create a registration (and a new person) in OSEM by using the new onsite registration form in admin panel (from Registrations page). This enables people at registration desk to quickly register people that arrive without having registered in advance. Again this helps organizers keep track of total attendees and it’s a fast and efficient way to get the name and email of the attendee. Overall stats are given on top of the page (Total No of people registered, Total No of people registered onsite, Total No of people attended, Total No of partners (this aims to the non-technical partners that accompany conference attendees so that org team could provision some side activities for them). People except for registering to the conference, can also volunteer through OSEM. Registration is however prerequisite in order to proceed with the volunteer form. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello folks, So, here is my GSoC 2013 update for the week ending on 24/06/2013 1. What have I done last week? I have set up the discussion system database, setup the controller method to fetch comments via project name (still lot of logic is pending) and finally routing to get the desired xml output. This is only a GET request, which is not yet fully implemented. 2. What am I'm doing this week? I will be working to finish the API calls as decided last week and I will have written functional and unit tests for the calls. Important links Trello: https://trello.com/board/discussion-system/51a5ede2db062a7e6f001b7c Github: https://github.com/shayonj/open-build-service Cheers!

[opensuse-project] Thank you Raymond
by Robert Schweikert 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

Hi, We as the board appreciate Raymond's commitment to the project and thank him for his work on the board and having the courage to step down when external influences no longer provide Raymond with the time he feels is necessary to effectively participate on the board. Within the board we've had a rather lengthy discussion about the way forward until the next election, which is just 5 months away. We have turned the election rules over a few times to get a good understanding of what can/may be done. The election rules clearly define that any person appointed to the board must stand down at the next election and the seat will be filled with an elected person. This rule has probably had the biggest influence on our decision to continue as a 5 member board until the next election. We feel that to appoint someone at this time would give the person very little time to make an impact. It does take a little bit of time to get a selected person going. More time would be lost if we had to select another person if the first choice would decline for whatever reason. With this in mind an appointed person may have only 4 months time on the board. Additionally a selection this close to the election may indicate a "favoritism" position of the board toward a given person and thus give this person an undue advantage in the upcoming election. In effect it would feel a bit as if the board would hand pick its members. A situation and impression we do not want to get into. Thus, we feel that at this point it is best to continue with a 5 member board until the next election. What is the effect on the next election and the election after that? At the election in November, 4 candidates will need to be elected. 3 of these seats will be filled with 2 year board members. The person with the fewest votes in the November election will occupy the 4th seat elected, but will only hold the seat for 1 year. This is based on the established election rules. In 2014, 2 seats will be up for election (the one year term seat from the 2013 election) and the 2 year term seat from the 2012 election. If you have any questions about the decision to operate as a 5 person board please feel free to send a message to the board mailing list or respond to this thread. Lets not discuss the election rules. We just added this topic here in the hopes to offer some clarification of the upcoming process for the 2013 election. Having turned the election rules over in our discussion about this decision a few times we feel very confident that the rules are set up in a fair manner that serve the project and the openSUSE members well.
