[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 … [View More]

[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] Change YaST installation a bit and add a script about language setup
by Efstathios Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hello lizards, This might not be the right place to send this mail, but since I'm not subscribed to factory list (and I don't plan to suscribe), I would like to send here this idea. Please share it with factory or anyone else. For the past 3 releases we have language installation problem. If someone choose to install openSUSE, for example in Greek, the result will be half Greek and half English (picture: blue is in Greek and other is in English [1]). Although many people reported this … [View More]bug to bugzilla [2] and [3], nothing changed. openSUSE 11.4 was the last release that worked fine (even from the very first screen by pressing F2 button). A proposal would be to change the fist screen of YaST installation, where it prompts for language. Change it to ONLY English. When everything is set, I see 2 solutions. 1. PCLinuxOS has an icon on the desktop (adlocale) that prompts you to install your language settings. I guess it's an easy script. 2. GNOME has GNOME initial setup [4]. You can also read an article about it [5]. The idea is that after the installation, you get a prompt to setup online accounts, timezone, new user account, small tour about GNOME etc. By the way, although it says that we'll see it on GNOME 3.8, I didn't see it on Milestone 4. The language installation can be done via YaST after installation (that's the solution we propose here). But it's better to be done automatically after installation. Something should be done about it since it's major issue to promote openSUSE. Marketing cannot cover end users. End users also don't read release notes. Many of my friends (that I helped to install openSUSE), they turned it to Linux Mint or Ubuntu (I guess for the simplicity they provide). Fedora and Ubuntu work fine with the language thing. Please do something about it. Thanks for reading.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC2013] Progress on Git-Review
by Dong Xu 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Hi all, Here is a summary of the current progress of git-review. The biggest changes are, 1. Now git-review supports sending pull requests from a forked repo to its upstream. In order to do that, simply use `git-review create --upstream`. 2. Since Github's pull request is based on branch, if there already exists a pull request for the current branch, git-review will remind the user, instead of silently update the pull request and throw an mysterious error. 3.

Hi, I'm new in this list, I just subscribed here because I didn't like openSUSE's Bugzilla.
