[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. Thanks, Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] SUSE capitalization
by Adam Spiers 27 May '14

27 May '14

Of course we still see people getting this wrong on a regular basis, but googling for "SUSE capitalization" doesn't reveal anything helpful. IMHO we need a wiki page covering the One Absolute Truth, and also a bit of the history behind it. I found this thread from 2005: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2005-08/msg00377.html but it didn't provide the full story. Additionally, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuSE are (somewhat depressingly) two entirely different articles, neither of which gives any real detail over the renaming from SuSE to SUSE. Shouldn't there be a page https://en.opensuse.org/Capitalization or something? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [GSoC-2014] Introducing Myself
by Varad Gautam 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi! I'm a student from India interested in participating in Google Summer of Code-2014 with openSUSE. I am interested in working on on the "Integrate Windows NTFS shadow volume browsing into openSUSE GUI tools" [1] idea. I've downloaded and used libvshadow through the command line. I got in touch with Greg Freemyer and packaged libewf through osc, as suggested by him to get a hang of how openSUSE development process works [2]. Can the idea of integrating Snapper Snapshot browsing into openSUSE Desktop [3] be integrated with the same idea? There could be a snapshot handling framework built into the desktop tool that could take care of both Snapper snapshots and Shadow Volumes. What else can I look into to get more acquainted with the community / development process? -My background- I have programmed with C, Perl, Python, Processing and Shell Scripts. I built a game for the Intel Perceptual Computing Challenge-2013 [4] and have experience with development for the Beagleboard and Pandaboard. I have also been able to write simple character device drivers for Linux, using Greg K-H's Linux Device Drivers as a guide. I have been an open source user for a long time, and have a commit integrated into GNOME's Anjuta IDE [5] I recently worked on testing the effectiveness of random number generators on a virtual machine with qemu.[6] I also have a fair know-how of git.

[opensuse-project] GSoC 2014 Project : TSP(Travel Support Program) Application
by karthik senthil 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hello everyone, I am Karthik.S pursuing Information Technology and Engineering from National Institute of Technology,Karnataka,India. I am interested in working on the Travel Support Program(TSP) project of open-SUSE. I have contacted the mentor, Ancor González Sosa and have already started contributing for the project. I have experience in application development using Ruby on Rails, and have worked with the development team of a couple of websites based on RoR. I have always been an avid follower of Open Source development, and in turn very passionate about contributing back to the community(very eager to send my first open source pull request!). I feel that working with a prestigious and a well-established organization like open-SUSE will be an excellent opportunity to achieve the same and fulfill my motto. It always gives a great feeling to be a part of a community/family that dedicates the use of technology and science to simplify millions of lives all over the globe. Looking forward to the experience of working with the open-SUSE community.

[opensuse-project] GSoC Project : ePub format support in Atril (MATE)
by Achal Aggarwal 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Hello everyone, I am Achal Aggarwal and I am posting this here to discuss about the project of adding support for ePub files in Atril. First of all I like to introduce myself. I'm a Computer Science and Engineering student in BVCOE, New Delhi, India and currently in the 4th year. For a better understanding of me I am linking my resume https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3rA3UKTXpVsU2N2N3JQMl9fZEk/edit?usp=shari… I did GSoC '13 under Joomla! for the project "Improve Form Fields" and currently volunteering as a Bug Sqad member. I don't know anything about Atril but that doesn't matter because I have already started using it and trying to understand its code base. I am familiar with ePub files and its reading system so IMO I can pursue this project and complete it on time with support of my mentor(s) and openSUSE community.

[opensuse-project] Project: Git-Review Project
by Sushant Dinesh 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hey! I am a Sushant Dinesh studying Computer Engineering in National Institute of Technology Karnataka,Surathkal. I am interested in working on the git-review project mentored by Dominik Bamberger. I have experience in working with ruby,RSpec and git. I have also contacted the mentor to get to know more about the project. On his suggestion, to get to know the code base better I went ahead and solved a bug in the repository(my first open source contribution! :) ). I have always wanted to contribute to open source projects but I never knew where and when to start. I think this would be perfect opportunity to start contributing to open source projects and it would be an awesome experience to work with an organization as experienced as openSUSE. I think I can learn a lot and also contribute back to the open source community :) -- Thank You, Sushant -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] At long last
by Robert Schweikert 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hi all, At long last the meeting minutes from the Board Face to Face meeting in Nuremberg are up on the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting#Face_to_Face_Meeting_2014-02-… Thanks to SUSE for hosting the meeting and thanks to those meeting with the board over the weekend for taking the time. There are plenty of opportunities to help the project. The booth boxes are right around the corner and with this a reboot of the advocate and local coordinator effort. We have also reach agreement to re-instate the reimbursement of locally produced materials. We'll create some guidelines and a new team needs to be formed. We hope that with some modification to the TSP app both reimbursement streams can be handled in a similar way. We all feel we got a lot of stuff sorted out and ready to roll. As always if you have questions or concerns please feel free to send a message to board at o.o or follow up in this thread. Have a great weekend, The openSUSE Board -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] oSC 2014 Travel Support Requests Period Open
by Efstathios Iosifidis 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Today the openSUSE Travel Support Team opened the Travel Support Request Submission tool for requests related to the openSUSE Conference 2014 in Dubrovnic, Croatia. The goal is to help everybody in and around openSUSE to be able to come to the openSUSE Conference! You don't have to be one of the top 10 packagers to apply - if you're translating, building a local community or helping out at the forums, we might still be able to offer you support, so apply! When and how The application period starts today February 20th and closes on February 28th. All requests will be managed through our application at http://connect.opensuse.org/travel-support. You will need an openSUSE Connect account in order to log in the application and apply for sponsorship. A few reminders - Please, read the Travel Support wiki page http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program carefully before you apply. We want everybody to be there! Even if you think you would not qualify for travel support, just submit a request! If you don't ask we can't help you! - The Travel Committee can reimburse up to 80% of travel and lodging costs. That includes plane ticket, train and bus tickets (no taxi), even car gas on some occasions, and hotel or hostel costs. Food and all local expenses are on you! - The Travel Team won't be able to book or pay anything in advance, reimbursement comes after the event is over, based on receipts you keep of your expenses. - Again: no receipts = no money - it's the rules! - Those sponsored by the Travel Team have to write a blog or report on the event and are expected to be available for helping with tasks at the event where needed! - Sponsorship decisions are influenced by the openSUSE history of the requester. Your involvement with openSUSE is really relevant! - Having an abstract submitted for presentation at the conference is relevant as well. Note that the CfP ends on February 28th so there is still time (https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/) - If you got support before and complied with all the requirements, this gets you bonus points too. - The amount requested must be detailed according to your request, like the airport you will be departing from, sharing hotel/hostel rooms, costs associated with your trip. - Try to get the best fares for tickets and lodging. Remember if approved at least 20% (and sometimes more) will be paid by you. Hurry up! Our goal is to support as many people as possible. If you need support to make it to the event, PLEASE SEND IN A REQUEST https://connect.opensuse.org/travel-support/users/sign_in ! We will attempt to send the approvals before March 5th, 2014 so you can start booking. Book quickly, as we don't cover anything over the previously agreed amount so higher prices are on you! The conference is getting close and the deadline for travel support is tight so start searching for flights right now! Set up your openSUSE Connect account and send in a request as soon as possible! Hope to see you there. Your Travel Support Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [OSC 14] : just a (n open) question
by Françoise Wybrecht 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

hi geekos ;-) calm & quiet weather ? ;-) I would bet on : too stressed to talk lol I was just wondering if there is a page, or a somewhere, telling concretely: what contribution (todo or ppl profile or ...) are needed ? (before - during or while - after) I'm not talking about design or "call for paper" - but for those of us who have planed to come (I met a few at fosdem), and are ready to help all the time, or part of their time that was an general question, and specific for me : for OSC14 organization team, Ive planed to come and can help 80 % of my time (as anything you need and I can do lol, as welcoming ppl, or moving tables, or selling beers - but not singing, neither guiding somebody from 1 place to another .. except if you wish to loose the somebody). thanks for ready double thanks for an answer ;-) Françoise -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] OSC14-Fosdem or any conf. : question of "level"
by Françoise Wybrecht 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

hi again, (I'll stop after that one, I promise lol) Let's imagine (2 minuts) a conference program with 3 levels ... green for basic, orange for medium, and red for hard lol (high level) (as most training center do - linguistic ou LPI) ok I know the community doesnt like very much a hierarchy ... but let me a few second explain the idea : when new ppl, users or contributors or Mrs Smith (who came in because she saw light) ... arrived at OSC (talking about own experience lol) it's quite difficult (ok I agree, some of us or of you lol are masochist or dont like easy ways) to choose a conference ... ( and it can be a good strategy too ... to do the way harder, so that most get lost ) so at the end, you find noobs lost in technical conf. (slowing down with stupid question ... and I belong sometimes to that category, depending on the subject) and you find technicians-ingeniors talking together or reading their mails in low-level-conf because they get bored ... so ... my idea or suggestion (?) : was to add 3 level or geekos (green, orange, red), or stars on the program, and if ppl can print the conf. planning green, orange, red, it would simplify the decision strategy lol (less ppl late, less running in corridors, and less talkers wondering why ppl are not intered by his talk ... ;-) caricature ok) A message in a bottle ... for anybody ? tc all Françoise -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Maintainers wanted for Dracut and Plymouth
by Raymond Wooninck 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

Hi, I have come to the point where I can no longer maintain the two packages Dracut and Plymouth. It has already been quite some time that I did anything with the two packages and I found myself lucky that some other people made some updates and fixes to it. The reason why I am looking for new maintainers is simply due to: 1) Lack of time on my side 2) Specific required knowledge I hope that somebody will step up to take the maintenance of these two packages, otherwise according to the Factory rules unmaintained packages should be removed.

[opensuse-project] Timeline and roadmap V2
by Michal Hrusecky 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

Hi all, As you know we had a week-long meeting in Nuremberg. Quite a few of the things we've been working on (openQA, OBS workflow etc) were shared by now. Besides discussing features, we scheduled our work. In the previous thread on $SUBJECT, Simon noted that going for a release in November seemed a far smarter compromise between the benefits of releasing and getting some improvements in our tool chain than skipping a release. Most of the team agreed on this right away and we'd like to go for that. However. This does not mean the initial idea of doing a more 'relaxed' release is off the table. Planning software development is hard, planning experimentation (like the staging projects we are toying with) is impossible so we can not predict when we will be done. This means that we still intend to take those of you who stepped forward to help out with the release up on their offer. The exact nature of what we release is still to be determined and we'd like to make a more final decision on how much effort we can and will put in in August. So far it is sure that we would need some volunteer to keep eye on Factory and release milestones at least till then. So, for now, this will be a 'community release'. This might mean less QA but also no security updates provided by SUSE! Especially if it comes to the latter case we should communicate this carefully to our users as it will be more like a slightly more stabilized milestone than a successor to openSUSE 13.1. How to call it, how to communicate and what exactly it will look like - August. When exactly we will be fully back to working on Factory, releasing milestones, and working on the release we will hopefully be able to determine in August as well. Thoughts?
