[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] Suggestions and critiques from a little group of desktop users
by G G 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi All, I'm hawake, i work to the Italian translation of the wiki, and I'm writing here just to share some thoughts about openSUSE assuming the point of view of a desktop user. In the following list i've collected not just my suggestions and critics but also those of all my friends that I converted to openSUSE 13.1 (after a migration from Ubuntu 13.10, which was unstable... :S ). I hope to be useful to all of you guys contributing to make openSUSE better day by day. I've distinguished 6 main categories. Communication. First of all, as pointed out in other discussions, the communication between developers and community is fundamental. I don't want to reopen this discussion here, i just want to tell you that many non-expert users perceive this lack of communication because they found ambiguous posts around the web and obviously in particular on social networks. BTW I think that the lesson has been learned and we (as a Community of supporters + Developers) are improving. ;) Installation. Installing openSUSE is not a difficult task for someone who can manage installation of a Windows OS but during the partitioning phase there are too many advanced options that are useless and scary for most part of our desktop users [0]. For example, you could hide some of these advanced options (like RAID, tmpfs, NFS, LVM and "Use Btrfs as default filesystem") under an "Advanced options" entry, or redesign that part of the installer so that the basic partition screen has a simpler layout. Software installation. Software.opensuse.org is very nice, I think it could be useful to have it accessible from the desktop because not all users know that it exists (and they use untrusted RPMs found through Google...). In fact it should be an important part of our marketing strategy. System configuration. There is a bit of confusing redundancy between some settings available through YaST and through the settings manager of a DE (for instance printer installation/configuration). We should modify the settings manager of supported DE to tell to the user when are needed root privileges, so that when it's necessary to open YaST. For instance the installation of proprietary stuff for HP printers. Help. I think that the openSUSE Activedoc Start Up guide should be accessible offline as default and in a simple way from desktop. For example, take a look at Ubuntu, you go to the shutdown menu (top-right of the screen) and you have an entry that opens a new window with the common questions about desktop usage (Unity in this case, [1] [2] ): video drivers, printers, information about the desktop environment and how to use it etc.. We still have shortcuts for KDE4, GNOME3 and so on, but they don't bring to Activedoc (which is well written) and is a little bit confusing because they bring to the SDB or HCL (not to an index of ready to use and problem-oriented guides). "Online help" links yet to the Novell documentation for openSUSE 11.0 which is translated only in german [3] and very... very outdated. So here, in the Italian wiki, we are discussing about how we should modify that SDB pages to allow the user to easily find solutions to common problems but we can't modify help.opensuse.org. So it's up to you. Interestingly the Gentoo documentation it's much more problem-solving oriented with an index very complete, see for example [4]. I know that pages like that one are very scary, but they collect a set of useful key questions right at the beginning of the page. I think that layouts like that one should be further studied (obviously not blindly applied!) to improve the usability and accessibility of our wiki. Other. Last but not least, I also report here two annoying issues: SUSE ImageWriter it is not automatically setup to use the file filter *.* (so the unexpert user is unable to see ISO images -> read all of my friends asked me how to use it); after the installation from the 4 GB ISO image, YaST does not automatically disable the DVD local repository, so the user have to handle with YaST's repository manager. In conclusion, all of my friends are enjoying openSUSE and they are using it both for work or study because of its stability, all DE equally supported, YaST, Zypper and someone (like me) really appreciate that is pure FOSS without privacy issues. Although it needs some little refinements to the user-experience as I said before but nothing impossible to do. Thank you and keep up the good work! :) Best regards, hawake [0] http://www.mediafire.com/view/jocz56r29yude8d/screenshot25modificata.png# [1] http://www.mediafire.com/view/bzrrpdgxejvxy9w/screenshot21.png# [2] http://www.mediafire.com/view/92n6youe70rmxxn/screenshot24.png# [3] http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse110/ [4] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMD64/FAQ -- Linux user number 433087 Linux registered machine number 351448 http://linuxcounter.net/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] github vs. gitorious
by Adam Spiers 29 Mar '14

29 Mar '14

Hi all, Last October I saw on opensuse-factory that gitorious is deprecated in favour of github: http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-factory/2013-08/msg00183.html Personally I think I agree with this move[1], but it seems that there is still quite a bit of activity at https://gitorious.org/opensuse/ - so please can someone confirm that this really is the general consensus? Either way, IMHO it would be very helpful to have an official policy on git hosting, and the only effective way to do that is to publically document it (on the wiki) and then announce it. I see a few options for what this policy page could say: 1. "Please move from gitorious to github; here's how to do it, and make sure you [leave behind a redirect|delete the gitorious project]." 2. "We recommend that new projects should be started on github and that existing projects on gitorious be moved but it's also OK to keep them at gitorious." 3. "Host projects wherever you want. Here are steps for how to host on gitorious and github." Of course it should also clarify what makes a project "officially openSUSE" vs. someone's personal hack. Sorry if this is already covered somewhere and I missed it. For example there's nothing obvious linked from https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Development Cheers, Adam [1] github is clearly technically superior, although there is a debate about the suitability of using a hosting service based on closed technology, even when export/migration isn't too problematic. I wonder what the FSF thinks about GitHub, but that's another discussion ... -- 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] Adding ePub file support
by Suyu Yang 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hi, all, I am a student and I like to involve in gsoc 2014. Here is my proposal . Project goals My goal is to add ePub format support in Atril(MATE), so that ePub files information can be get. and the file can be easily read. Implementation I will divide the goal into following steps. 1. Get familiar with current Atril package, read source code and konw how the whole thing works. And also the coding format will be studied. 2. Get familiar with ePub format by reading offical documents or read other open source codes. 3. Integrate the ePub translator in to the Atril package. In this period the code will be write and basic test will be performed. 4. Do test and submitting pathches, and fix bugs. I think the most important thing is to make a good model of the ePub files, as this can be regarded as a plug-in and the whole framework should better not be effected too much. So I think both Atril and popular ePub reader codes need to be read carefully. Timeline To be frank, I want to start this project as soon as possible. I don't know if things will change during this summer. By now I know that I have 1 project from my lab to be contuinue all the time, the final exam will be at 5.15 or so, so there will be 2 week break. and I will take 1 week travel from 6.20-6-27. I don't want to make promises to move mountains. Here is a detailed plan. 3.20-3.30, Set up the openSUSE env stable, with necessary packages and tools ready. 4.1-4.3, Find proper open source ePub reader software, make a list in order to compare. 4.5 - 4.20 +/- 10, read Atril source code, find out how the things work and list all the interfaces that deals with different kinds of file formats (I guess there must be some commonly used interface for different kinds of file formats) 5.1 - 5.7 , 5.15 - 5.30, get familiar with ePub format and write some small codes to get basic ePub file informations. (This will be the midterm evaluation check point for me) and make the 1st patch. 6.1 - 6.20, porting some other source code if possible, and if not then try to write own codes on the ePub implementation. and test these basic functions. 6.28 - 7.15 integrate the source code together. Do system test and make the 2nd patch. 7.17 - 8.5 Test the program and make final patches to solve potential bugs. 8.5 - end. Prepare for the final evaluation. About me Hi, all. I'm suyu, a graduate student in Missouri, US and my major is EE. I used to be a GSoC student in 2011 and worked for tianocore, in that program I modified a text-editor and fixed some existing bugs. I've been using C for 4 years and I like programming though I'm studying EE not CS. Hope to do something this year for GSoC. To be frank, I'm not very confidence with myself and I am alway worrying about that I may not having enough time to do this. But andway I will try to do it well. Thanks for your time and wish I can see your response. P.S: Sorry to submit the proposal so late, I wantted to submit a patch before submit the proposal, but after I installed openSUSE for half a day my grub got a mess and can only enter ubuntu(I got openSUSE, ubuntu, and windows 7 ...), I will figure it out as soon as possible. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] help promote oSC14
by Jos Poortvliet 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hi all! Many of you have not yet booked for oSC14. I hope that is because you can't come due to work or other things, not because of money (the TSP will do another round) or because you didn't know... To make sure that that last point won't limit others to come, help us promote the event, talk about it! https://news.opensuse.org/2014/03/21/help-promote-osc14/ oSC is THE place where you get to meet fellow openSUSE contributors, where you can discuss difficult technical or social issues - or of course FUN technical and social things. New ideas have emerged at openSUSE conferences before - including Tumbleweed and, well, pretty much every major change in our development process has been discussed at an oSC. If you want to make a difference or just have fun - this really is the place to be. And you should REALLY hurry up registering, booking, sending in session proposals if you have some and making sure you are there because flights are getting more expensive and so are hotel bookings. Have fun! /Jos

[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 proposal for Events Splash Page in OSEM for Visitors.
by Gopesh Tulsyan 16 Mar '14

16 Mar '14

Proposal for Idea of Event Splash Page for Visitors in OSEM Introduction: The Open Source Event Manager lacks a events specific page, that is a unique page for every event. Due to this all the visitors who come to the site(like https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/) cannot gain proper knowledge about the whereabouts of the specific event they want to go, like schedule, countdown-timer, location, google maps for “getting here”,no. of participants enrolled for the event and other issues mentioned in https://github.com/openSUSE/osem/issues/21.I wish to build a page that would be different for every event. This would do two things: first all the data or statistics related to the event are gathered in one single page and the other, the url can be used as reference to tell other people about this particular event, because now all the conferences are listed in one single page which might not be important for the user. I want to add relevant features like Find Events feature to find events around based on filtering this would give visitors the convenience of choosing the events to go.Also some social integration with Facebook and Twitter for publicity of the events across social media. Project Goals: Now this page would be a template whose color and background images could be changed.Like for instance http://summit.opensuse.org/ is divided into sections.This will divided into sections such as main headings like Program,Location,Tickets,Registration,Press,List of Sponsors,Counter for No. of Visitors and a countdown saying these days-hours-mins left for the event. My main focus would be to give options and feature set to the organizer so that the splash page could more and more customizable.This would involve building a template using jQuery,CSS5(box-model layout) , SASS,HTML5. Next focus would be to write a controller for the events which will contain actions for different sections There would be page in admin panel, where the organizer can send emails related to an event. For example if the event is cancelled, the organizer can write an email in this template(basically a form) and then this would will be propagated to every registrant so that they might not turn-up unnecessarily.This could be in many other ways by the organiser, according to the needs and depending upon the situation. Then there are various design bugs and validations bugs which I am currently working on and will try to remove in the future developments of the project. I will also integrate metrics using google analytics to find out no. of visitors visiting the event page, tracking no. of clicks on various links etc.(plugin) I will also integrate a timer using JavaScript which will show how much time is left for the event to occur. I want to send email notifications to users who registered for the event whenever the organizer of the event changes anything (that is updates the event).This would keep the participant always updated about the event. Also I could maintain a feed in the events page for the same saying that these things got updated recently. There would be a separate page Find Events Around You.This will contain a google map and every event which is about to occur will be mapped according to the place(using geolocation api of Gmaps).And there will be a filter so that the user can filter the events displaying on the map by dates, time, location(that is how far is the event), this would be unique feature as people can choose to go for events they like according to their wish and necessity. Using Twitter integration I will display the tweets that are related to the event,that is the tweets marked with # tag of the event will be displayed in the event page,so that it will give the live stream of what is going on in the arena. Using facebook open graph integration we can post open graph stories to users timeline saying that this person is going to an event, this will be a great deal of publicity, also using the invite plugin the user can invite his/her friends. These are some goals which I wish to achieve this summers.These are goals are not such that it cannot be met in a span of three months, because whatever I have written above I have already implemented in live projects and in my own pet project. Implementation: I will create a partial which would be one section of the page.This would be customizable depending upon the parameters it receives from the main view,that is event.html.haml.This partial would be a box and will rendered throughout the splash page. First section will a carousel which is essentially the gallery from past years events.Then there will a section for describing the event and the schedule with daywise in nav tabs.Then in the subheadings there will be listing and description of major events of the program. Then in the next section the page will display the availability of the tickets(pricing,website,contact person etc.).In the next section Location is described in details,travel and lodging for outside participants. The next sections will be focused on Press, Sponsors, Number of Visitors, Countdown Timer. The last section will be Organisers contact details and other person involved with him/her.And the footer will contain the Google Map. The options to customize the splash will be added in the settings tab named “Splash Page”.This would contain all the features such as color selection for every section that the organiser create,font select, option for background image.These all are view level things and can be taken care by Frontend Stack like jQuery,CSS.Also, I’ll take help from bootstrap framework wherever necessary.The backend will require few extra migrations in the events model for adding additional images to the view. I will have to create EventSplash model that would contain necessary details about the splash page with event_id as foreign key. Association would a event :has_one => event_splash and the reverse event_splash belongs_to event.This is required, so that all settings corresponding to splash page is stored properly Regarding the backend side of things,I need to write a controller, that would fetch data from the database store them in form of arrays or arrays of objects,hashes which would be available in the corresponding views to use.I will have queries that are optimized following the models that are already built like “event.registrations will give array of objects which are users those are registered for the event.This way following the databse schema and associations I will write queries that are efficient and optimized using Rails Object Related Models(Active Record guidelines http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html). I will also create RESTful routes so that depending upon the id of the event the event page is rendered.Like events/:id/:event_name(parameterized format).In the controller I will use params[:id] to query the event from the model and perform necessary queries to fetch data. Now whenever the organizers update a conference it would happen in the conference model, so in the same function I will use ActionMailer class to write functions for sending mails.In the mailbot.rb I’ll add a function send_mail_on_conference_update which would send mails to every registrant of the conference.The necessary updates are fetched from the conference model which would a call to this class with necessary parameters to deliver the mail.Also for the feeds I would generate seperate model call feeds and would use has_many :through relationship to generate notifications for updates about the conference which would be visible in the event splash page. This requires GMaps API and this in turn requires geocoder and gmaps4rails.Now this requires a separate controller say find_events_controller.This would aggregate all latitude & longitude of all events.Now these latitude and longitude can be found by geocoder gem which takes the location name as input.Now the hash of all long & lat is passed to build_markers function of GMaps4Rails class and this would create an hash of markers which is available in the view(using instance variable).Now this hash is parsed as json and passed to a js function of Gmaps call addmarkers, this would map all events by lat&long on the map. This thing is simple we just need to create a twitter application and use twitter gem to make api calls to twitter open graph to get tweets based on hash tags. This thing is implemented the same way, we need to make Facebook application and ask read write permissions from the user.With the access token we receive from Facebook endpoint we use that with Koala gem to api calls like put_connections to post to users’ friends timeline. Timeline: For the frontend template of event splash page, I would require at least 2 weeks.I would divide these 2 weeks in a manner so that I create the partial first and then the main view which will be rendered in the events page.This will be completed by June 5-6. Then I would concentrate on the model and controller to write queries, create hashes, arrays and array of objects that will be available in the view.This will be completed by 1 week like around June 12. Then I would build the routes and work on the view and controllers to make the event splash page complete.Proper synchronisation with backend and frontend without any errors.This would take around five days,so around June 17 this will be complete. Setting up Facebook and Twitter integration is implemented in the past so I would complete this by july 7-9 (approx).This will be over by June 28. Then I would work on admin side of things to give the admin option to modify the splash page as mentioned above.This is the Splash Page option in the Settings tab.Building the frontend using Bootstrap(HTML,CSS,SASS,jQuery).Also the backend portion for adding images and storing the settings of the splash page in the model.This would require a week and will completed by July 5. Then I would go on implement Gmaps for the footer of the splash page and the find events feature for the visitors.This will require familiarisation with Google Maps API.I know the rudimentary, so around 7-10 days.This will be completed by July 15. The last 2-3 weeks I would want to polish things of what i have done.Test every feature rigorously before it rolls out to be used by users. About Me: Currently, I am pursuing B.Tech in Information Technology,from National Institute of Technology, Durgapur. I love web development and the new emerging technologies. I am an efficient learner, I may not know things about a new technology but if need be I would learn and deploy it in no time.I have a 1.5 years of experience in Ruby on Rails framework.I started working for a startup in my 4th semester Flixstreet(https://www.flixsreet.in/about).I also worked as an intern for Getechoed(http://www.getechoed.com), both the startups are in ROR.Recently, I started working for my own pet project and has come to stage where the web application has a sharing piece like that of Diaspora, a chat engine(built in node,redis and ruby) http://www.67street.in which is also in ROR. When I saw the GSOC idea for adding features to OSEM, I really liked it and decided that it’s my only chance to contribute to open source community by learning one thing properly.I am solving issues and reporting bugs also solving them to make OSEM even more better and usable by more people. email_id: gopesh.7500(a)gmail.com irc_nick: gopesh_ contact_no: 9051800354 github: github.com/gopesht Gopesh Tulsyan ROR Enthusiast, 3rd Year Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] GSoC proposal forthe idea of OSEM Event Spalsh Page
by Gopesh Tulsyan 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Proposal for Idea of Event Splash Page for Organisers & Visitors in OSEM Introduction: Currently, the Open Source Event Management application takes care of all possible details about the event such as schedule, registrants, volunteers, call-for-papers, rooms, tracks and many more.But these data are not displayed properly to the visitors.Clearly, more such features could be added for an event as per the need of the admin, but proper focus should be given to display the statistics of the event to the visitors.This is the key point which decides the success or failure of the event. So as per the idea there should be an event splash page showcasing all the details like no.of visitors, sponsors,venues details with map, speakers with their brief info, keynotes, schedule in the chronological order, a small box specifying updates related to the event. Also the proposals submitted so far by the registrants should be displayed. Project Goals: First I will aggregate all the event related data in events page, that is every event will have a separate page. All the details related to the event will listed in categorised manner, also the statistics will be maintained in the same page about the no.of visitors etc. deciding the how big or successful the event will be on the particular day. There will be an event splash page for organizers as well so that they can keep track of the events and events related activities. Then I will work on the HTML & CSS side of it mainly using bootstrap framework to make the event page look more presentable, the one on the openSUSE Summit page. Then there are various design bugs and validations bugs which I am currently working on and will try to remove in the future developments of the project. I will also to integrate metrics using google analytics to find out no. of visitors visiting the event page, tracking no. of clicks on various links etc.(plugin) I will implement real time notifications using socket.io(http web sockets),that is using Node.Js and Redis.This will have a admin panel of creating notification and the user will recieve notification in a real time manner just like in Google+ or Facebook without refreshing the page.There is this github repository which I will use as reference https://github.com/thoughtshop/rails-node-redis-pubsub. I will also integrate a timer using JavaScript which will show how much time is left for the event to occur. Since the application is using Devise, I will also integrate social login using Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.This can done easily because the gem has support for multiple carriers and there is only one single account for the person. Using Twitter integration I will display the tweets that are related to the event,that is the tweets marked with # tag of the event will be displayed in the event page,so that it will give the live stream of what is going on in the arena. Using facebook open graph integration we can post open graph stories to users timeline saying that this person is going to an event, this will be a great deal of publicity, also using the invite plugin the user can invite his/her friends. These are some goals which I wish to achieve this summers.These are goals are not such that it cannot be met in a span of three months, because whatever I have written above I have already implemented in live projects and in my own pet project. Implementation: For the first one which is most important, I will create a controller called Events which will be outside of admin,as this will be for visitors.Now I shall write actions for show(to display the details of the event), also an action called event_statistics(to calculate the no.of people going for the counter).In the routes.rb I will create a route which would be events/show/:event_name(event name in parameterized format)/:id .This is RESTful routes, in the controller I will query the DB with this event id and get data what ever is necessary, the rest is all ruby.And then like this other routes will be created respectively for other actions.In the view I shall use one single page which will be scrollable and will be divided in different sections.In the header there will be tabs to take the user to different parts of the page, http://summit.opensuse.org/#program. For the second one which is the event splash page for organizers, would be same as the but this would be simple in the frontend as this belongs to admin panel.Using bootstrap nav tabs there would be several tabs like Registrants,tickets,Volunteers,Events and so on.So in the backend there would be seperate page for everyone.In the Registrants page there would be no. of registrants and no. of attendees.Similarly, there will be events tab containing no. of events submitted,accepted.So I would query the Event and related models so as to get all required data in the instance variable(@variables) so that thy are available in the front end.Same goes for volunteers,tickets and social events tab. For implemetation of real time notifications I’ll use the above mentioned github repo.Basically, I will use Redis famous feature Publish/Subscribe service for sending and recieving notifications.So whenever a user registers for an event he/she will be subscribed to the Events_Name channel(say).Now whenever a admin needs to notify people, he will create a notification and that will be published in the Events_Name channel, so by this all the people subscribed to this channel will recieve the notification.This will be implemented via sockets using Node.Js, for this Node and Redis should be installed in the remote server. I can start with Google login.First a google application is needed, this generates a api_key and api_secret this is copied in devise.rb.Apart from User model we also need an Authorization model which will store the carrier details like provider,secret(generated by devise),token received by the OAuth and some other details.We would also need the omniauth_callbacks_controller which would be inherited from Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController and in this the authhash received is passed to the user model.Now first there will be a check in authorization.rb that auth.provider and auth.uid exists or not using first_or_initialize helper .If not then the details are entered in user model.Now if the details are incorrect, that is if the validations fail we need to save the current_user attributes in a session variable, so that the user can re-enter the data missing and proceed accordingly.To do this we need to override a class method in user.rb call new_with_session(params,session).Now if the session exsists we create a new user with the same user attributes and validate this user object.If the session doesn’t exsists then we follow the normal devise procedure by writing super. This thing is simple we just need to create a twitter application and use twitter gem to make api calls to twitter open graph to get tweets based on hash tags. This thing is implemented the same way, we need to make Facebook application and ask read write permissions from the user.With the access token we receive from Facebook endpoint we use that with Koala gem to api calls like put_connections to post to users’ friends timeline. Timeline: For the first 2 features I will complete by June-5 that is around 2 weeks to completely wrap up everything related to models and views for event splash pages.I would take so much time to figure out and code the front end part. This thing(user notifications) is already done by me so I will complete this within a week around June 13 Setting up a perfect login without any glitches would consume time so I would take around 2 weeks to complete the login flow for all carriers July 1-2. Setting up Facebook and Twitter integration is implemented in the past so I would complete this by july 7-9 (approx) The last 2-3 weeks I would want to polish things of what i have done.Test every feature rigorously before it rolls out to be used by users. About Me: Currently, I am pursuing B.Tech in Information Technology,from National Institute of Technology, Durgapur. I love web development and the new emerging technologies. I am an efficient learner, I may not know things about a new technology but if need be I would learn and deploy it in no time.I have a 1.5 years of experience in Ruby on Rails framework.I started working for a startup in my 4th semester Flixstreet(https://www.flixsreet.in/about).I also worked as an intern for Getechoed(http://www.getechoed.com), both the startups are in ROR.Recently, I started working for my own pet project and has come to stage where the web application has a sharing piece like that of Diaspora, a chat engine(built in node,redis and ruby) http://www.67street.in which is also in ROR. When I saw the GSOC idea for adding features to OSEM, I really liked it and decided that it’s my only chance to contribute to opensource community by learning one thing properly.I am solving issues and reporting bugs also solving them to make OSEM even more better and usable by more people. email_id: gopesh.7500(a)gmail.com irc_nick: gopesh_ contact_no: 9051800354 github: github.com/gopesht Gopesh Tulsyan ROR Enthusiast, 3rd Year Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur -- 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 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. Thanking You Karthik.S GitHub Handle : karthiksenthil email : karthik.senthil94(a)gmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [LT-Pro-Veterans] Call for Projects officially started Date: Mon, 03 Mar 2014 02:04:21 +0100 From: Elke Moritz <moritz(a)linuxtag.org> Reply-To: projects(a)linuxtag.org To: projects-veterans(a)linuxtag.org, "projects(a)linuxtag.org" <projects(a)linuxtag.org>, projects-discussion(a)linuxtag.org CC: moritz(a)linuxtag.org Dear Projects! We are now officially starting the Call for Projects! If you want to apply for a free project booth, please do so in our vCC at https://vcc.linuxtag.org until March 22nd. We are also looking for hands-on workshops. Topics I could immediately think of are - crypto workshop - setting up Jenkins and building a small (Android) app from a git repository continuously, then running it automatically - writing a small collection of (shell) scripts that make your (admin) life easier - comparisons of similar tools like two backup solutions - workshop could also be done by two projects together - which window managers are there and which one is best for me You probably have many more ideas! Please enter them in our vCC as a talk proposal (add a comment that it shall be a project workshop and an estimate of how much time is needed) - preferably until March 5th, since we will be working on our conference program schedule next weekend. As you all probably know, Messe Berlin terminated our contract and we could not agree on terms that were acceptable for both sides, so the contract was not renewed. We had to find a new partner and think we found a great one in droidcon! So LinuxTag will take place together with droidcon at Station Berlin from May 8 - 10, 2013. droidcon and LinuxTag will share the location - lecture and exhibition halls - and will align on lots of things. But we are still separate entities. While this new situation gives us much more freedom, we (LinuxTag e.V.) now have to carry the complete financial risk for LinuxTag. Our main goal has not changed - it is still to be the place "where .com meets .org" and to promote free software. The conference during the daytime is more aimed at the professional Linux user, while the new evening slots allow us to also have some workshops for "newbies" - if you submit appropriate workshop proposals in our vCC that is. Wait a minute - droidcon? evening slots? Station Berlin? Yes, lots of things are new this year and we are still working on all the details. I have compiled some infos in our public wiki: Call for Projects: https://wiki.linuxtag.org/w/fp:Call_for_Projects Changes in 2014: https://wiki.linuxtag.org/w/fp:ChangesIn2014 Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. We will send out more infos as we get closer to the event. Let's make LinuxTag 2014 an awesome event! We rely on your help and your exciting booth and workshop proposals - so don't forget to visit https://vcc.linuxtag.org Cheers, Elke -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
