[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 in press
by Boris Manojlovic 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

Dear all, I have came across interesting article[1] about school that switched to Linux. What is interesting is interaction with community that in moment was not too flattering, but again not too bad. :) Anyway i would propose some kind of article for first page of opensuse.org or i do not know exactly how/where - "How to help you switch / how to get volunteers to help you". I think that we have a lot of people who are willing to help even going on site and do consulting or even working with them. 1) https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/elibrary/case/british-school-switches-students-… Boris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Technical details: http://blog.wrkb.in/post/62022570851/part-1-of-3-technical-details-of-the-g… 2. Lessons learnt: http://blog.wrkb.in/post/62329077937/part-2-of-3-lessons-learned-from-my-gs… 3. GSoC Experience: To come later (once gsoc ends). I hope people enjoyed the work we did as part of the GSoC project. Bye for now. Have a great year ahead.

by Tihamér Petrovics 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hello, I updated my blog with the following post: http://tichygsoc.blogspot.hu/2013/09/the-road-so-far.html I wrote a tutorial about using syslog-ng with redis, attached some sample config file and finally a complex one, that could be a case from everyday. Stay tuned, I intend to maintain the code after gsoc too!

[opensuse-project] oSC15 Location
by Robert Schweikert 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hi, It is time to think a bit ahead into the year 2015, time flies when you are having fun. While we are all looking forward to the openSUSE Summit in November in Florida, and the openSUSE Conference 2014 (oSC14) at the end of April 2014 in Dubrovnik it is time to get the location search for oSC15 started. The openSUSE board invites you to consider organizing and hosting the openSUSE conference in 2015. The openSUSE Conference (oSC) is the primary yearly gathering of Geekos from around the world. The conference venue requirements can be found on the openSUSE wiki (https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_venue_requirements .) This is your chance to show the world of Geekos the hospitality and culture of your country. One member of the organizing team will be invited to attend oSC14 at the end of April, 2014 in Dubrovnik and present the location of oSC15. Please submit your proposals to either opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org or board(a)opensuse.org. We are happy to consider proposals from teams that would like to organize the event but are currently not actively involved with the openSUSE community. Proposals are accepted starting now until the end of the year (2013). The board will make a decision about the 2015 location early in 2014 with an announcement to be made at oSC14. oSC15 should take place in the March-May time frame in 2015, roughly 1 year after oSC14. Your proposal should include a description of the location (city/town and venue) and provide information about your organization team and any experience you may have had organizing other events. Items to consider are cost of lodging around the venue, access to public transportation to and from the airport/train station and hotels to venue, and proximity to a venue for a party. Thanks you for considering to host oSC15, we are looking forward to receiving your proposal.

[opensuse-project] Call for volunteers for the Election Committee
by Robert Schweikert 23 Sep '13

23 Sep '13

Hi, openSUSE Board election time is approaching and we are looking for volunteers to form the Election Committee. Based on our interpretation of the rules 4 seats are up for grabs but this will have to be confirmed by the Election Committee. Obviously those considering running for a board position should not be part of the committee. The rules are documented here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules The responsibilities of the committee are as follows: + Defining how many seats are up for election + Define the mix of one and two year term seats + Create a schedule for the elections + Handling and verifying of candidate nominations + Work with candidates to get candidate information posted + Collaborating with the Membership Officials to ensure that membership applications are processed in time + Checking and testing of our voting setup before the real voting + Validating the election results + Resolving any post-results issues + Announce results and post them to the wiki We had a number of elections previously and thus you can piggy back on work that has been done in previous years. This is very important to the project, if you are not considering to be a candidate for the board please consider to volunteer on the committee. It is a limited time "position" (until shortly after the election results are posted), but is a great way to provide a valuable contribution. If you are interested in participating on the Election Committee please send a message to the board mailing list. Thanks, Your openSUSE Board -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
