[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?

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.

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.

by Shayon Mukherjee 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hello folks, So, here is my GSoC 2013 update for the week ending on 26/07/2013 1. What have I done last week? Last week I was at oSC13. So couldnt get a lot of coding done but I got a great opportunity to meet with my mentor (Henne) and other members of OBS (Adrian) face-2-face to discuss my pull request in detail and hash out a couple of other things. 2. What am I'm doing this week By the end of the week, midterm evaluations need to be submitted so I will prepare my report. I want to merge to the upstream repo to be able to push to the production server and lastly try to write some more test suites for both [api] and [webui].

[opensuse-project] Big thank you!
by Andy Silva 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello my good friends of the community! Let me be the first one to give a BIG THANK YOU! to all those who participated of the first community-organized openSUSE Conference. Watching the videos I saw a presentation by Kostas and Stella detailing some of the challenges and also the positive things that they experienced as they organized this event and boy... that was a lot to do! So a big thank you hug to them two and also Carlos Ribeiro. He did a splendid job with artwork for the venue. I believe it is important for the rest of our community to know that working like this, with no pay whatsoever, with hours off regular jobs, leaving family and friends, just to do work for fun in our community is a tough thing and can go unrecognized. For all of those who sacrificed a little to make the conference possible clap, clap, clap. -- Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, Tomas Chvatal has joined the openSUSE Team. He comes from another SUSE department and has been involved in openSUSE for some time now. Those of you more familiar with the openSUSE Release process probably know him already. He is located in our Prague office. He is joining Coolo and Michal Hrusecky as Release Team member. Michal will gradually work on other tasks from now on within the openSUSE Team at SUSE. The Release Team is the group of people that coordinates Factory development.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC 2013] Progress Report for Git-Review
by Dong Xu 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Hi everyone, Here's a summary of current work progress on my GSoC 2013 project Git-Review. Over the past few weeks, I have completed refactoring Git-Review. Now the code is shorter and less complex. Instead of adding more classes as original planned, I've got rid of them, as well as the other mixins. For Git-Review, we use Octokit to interact with Github, and Octokit's made an excellent choice to use Hashie::Mash for all the returned objects. Hashie::Mash has very useful features that can replace all the mixins we used to have in Git-Review. Simply put, whatever comes out of Octokit is ready to be used by Git-Review already. As a result of leveraging the power of these two gems, Git-Review itself is shortened, and became more structural and robust. I've squashed over 70+ commits into a single pull request to the upstream. While Dominik, the original author, is reviewing the code and trying to merge the request, I will start working on new features of Git-Review. I look forward to the next big update and release of Git-Review. Cheers, Xu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [GSoc 2013] My late self introduction on gsoc2013

Hello everyone: I am a student of gsoc2013, this is my late self introduction, sorry about the delay. Due to my healthy problem, I stayed in hospital for one month. My project is "IaaS Cloud Framework Software Packaging and Documentation on openSUSE", mainly packaging for Eucalyptus and Cloudstack to catch up the upstream. I checked the mailing-list, many students already did a lot of great job. My progress falls behind much, I am trying my best to catch up. Thanks for understanding of my unlucky experience from my mentor Robert. I will post my work progress to mailing-list from this week. Thank you everyone.

[opensuse-project] Team reports during the openSUSE Conference
by Vincent Untz 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi all, On Friday end of afternoon, we have a slot for team reports at the conference. I think it's a pretty good opportunity to tell the community everything that's going on in several parts of the project. I'd love to know which team can participate to prepare this a bit! I'm thinking we would have 5 minutes per team, so only a couple of slides, and it's really about saying what the team did in the last few months and what are the plans. So far, this is the list of team I have, and the people from the teams who would be there to participate (I didn't chat with everyone, so this list could change): artwork: Andy or Victor? Or Richard? cloud: Vincent (or anybody else who wants to do that :-)) gnome: Dominique gsoc: Manu kde: Luca? marketing: (?) obs: Adrian or Henne? release team: coolo? factory review team: (?) travel support program: Izabel xfce: not sure if Guido is coming? yast: (?) Let's move forward with this: - if your team is on the list and you would confirm you'll participate, just tell me! - if your team is on the list, with no confirmed person, please help me find somebody who could participate - if you don't see your team and would like to participate, you're welcome :-) We don't necessarily need slides, but if you want to use slides, it's probably best to send them to me before Friday 4pm.

[opensuse-project] GSoC 2013 update for the week ending on 12/07/2013
by Shayon Mukherjee 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hello folks, So, here is my GSoC 2013 update for the week ending on 12/07/2013 1. What have I done last week? Fixed the minor bugs and styling mistakes. Made the code in [webui] more DRY. Also, previous test suites were failing which didnt allow me from making my first pull-request, so a lot of time was spent fixing the existing test suite and make sure all of them are passing now. Routing was also updated and lot of restructuring was done too. Users now have the ability to expand and collapse the comments. 2. What am I'm doing this week This week, I am out travelling for oSC (Yayy!), so I don't expect a lot of work to be done. But I still plan on writing some test suites and permission checks as much as possible. Plus, my mentor (henne) will be at oSC so we will be discussing the app in much more detail during the conference and work piece-by-piece on the feedback received for the existing pull-request.
