[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] [GSoC 2014] OSEM Organizer Dashboard weekly update
by Christian Bruckmayer 10 Aug '14

10 Aug '14

Hello Community, my name is Chris and I am one of the Google Summer of Code Students involved in the Open Source Event Manager (OSEM). I am a student currently in the 3 year of the Bachelor of Science course with information systems and management major at the university of applied science in Nuremberg, Germany. I would like to take the opportunity to give you a short update of my work during the last week: A few days ago Henne migrated OSEM from Rails 3.2 to Rails 4.1. Because of that this week I have tried to fix bugs caused by this migration! In Rails 4, now PATCH replaces PUT for partial updates. Hence it was necessary to rewrite some url routes and update most of the html forms. Artem Chernikov gave me some advices and supported me during this task (thanks again!). Another task was to replace the deprecated Active Record methods.

[opensuse-project][MATE][GSoC 2014]weekly report: ePub support in Atril
by avishkar gupta 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

hi all, This is my report for the week of May,26 to May,31 2014.I'm working on adding ePub support in Atril,the MATE document-viewer. This week i wrote the code that would be used to extract and parse the ePub archive. I am almost done with the helper functions, and now i am trying to get everything to build as a part of Atril compilation, which requires linking the Atril document and view librarieswith my backend. I am currently on top of that and hope to get a successful build by Tuesday. Here is the commit history for the week: 415b008....06 7f33c34....5d 070a26e....77 If you'd like to see these please see the tree. Here is the tree,if you would like to monitor my dev brach(which i hope you do, it's always nice to have random followers!): https://github.com/rootAvish/atril/tree/epub -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] "[GSoC]project : add snapshot support to libvrit xenlight driver"
by David kiarie 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

Hi there, This week I worked on helper functions which are needed by the major functions(API) which I am supposed to implement.This included 1)libxlsnapshotMetadataWrite This function should be called each time a snapshot is taken to update libvirt xml metadata to track the snapshot. 2)libxlSnapshotMetadataUpdate This function should be called on various occasions e.g to update the current domain xml config after taking or deleting a snapshot. 3)libxlSnapshotForEachQdisk This function is a wrapper function around xen libxl's disk_snapshot function.I takes care of all the disks on a domain.This is what should be called when taking the internal snapshot of an inactive domain. 4)libxlSnapshotObjFromSnapshot This function takes a snapshot and returns a snapshot obj representation.The difference between the two being that the "snapshot obj" structure has more information. Also because I am following the libvirt qemu driver(which I this has a lot of boiler plate code anyway) I was thinking about having functions to prepare the disks for snapshots.Here I am taking of checking the user commands for errors and maybe some operations which are not supported. All in all, I will continue working on this and should be done next week. *Ahem*,..sorry for writing sooo much detail.I just don't know how else to explain this.

[opensuse-project] [GSOC] OSEM Refactor user management model
by differentreality 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hey all, I will be working (too) on OSEM for this GSOC. My project is about refactoring the user/person model and implementing roles. My mentors are Ancor and Artem, and we are already in touch. If everything goes smoothly with these changes, there might be some time left for me to work on more stuff too. But let's see... As Christian mentioned, recently there were several changes implemented. Most related bugs are fixed, and we are still working on what's left. In addition, we are starting to write tests, and that hopefully will attract more contributors too. For the user/person model part of my project, I will be changing stuff that could affect the other two projects too, so I hope that all 3 students we can be in touch and coordinate efforts on that. I will be soon making public details about the implementation of my gsoc project. As a conference organizer I do have some concrete ideas regarding how we should change the user/person models and what kind of roles we would need, but I have had some very interesting ideas coming from other organizers, based on their needs for their conferences. OSEM is for everyone to use, not just for openSUSE Conference, but any other conference or other event (smaller or bigger). As such, we want to try and make OSEM a suitable tool for more people. So any valuable input is more than welcome! Feel free to contact me directly via email or ping me on IRC, create a new issue or comment on github, reply to this thread... Anything works really :) And stay tuned for more news!

by Oguz Kayral 31 May '14

31 May '14

Hi, Last week I finished config & snapshot list operations. I also did the rest of the ui work except snapshot diff. I started working on snapshot create & modify actions, I will continue working on them next week and also do the ui for snapshot diff action. Last week I said I was having some questions regarding the build system (mostly about code generation from qt designer files also dependency management), we resolved these problems in a meeting with my mentor. -- 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] Weekly Update for TSP application
by karthik senthil 31 May '14

31 May '14

Hello everyone, This is a brief summary of last week's progress. I added the 2 models State and TransitionEvent as planned in the DB design. I discussed with my mentor on the points like validations, and ActiveRelations between these 2 models and other existing models. After considering all points, I implemented the 2 models.I have tested them for the sample workflow of the existing request and reimbursement machines.I am now testing the models using RSpec and will be adding the required specs to the branch. My progress can be viewed here : https://github.com/karthiksenthil/travel-support-program/tree/gsoc2014 Next week I plan on designing the controllers for these 2 models.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Git-Review Weekly Update
by Xystushi 31 May '14

31 May '14

Hi, This is the summary of this week’s progress. I continued working on Bucketkit gem. The features needed for Git-Review (primarily getting/sending pull requests, comments, etc.) are near completion. During this week there was some school stuff so I didn’t spend too much time on the project. I will make it up over the weekend. I’m planning to focus on the development of Git-Review as soon as the necessary features are done, instead of completing Bucketkit as a full-fledged BitBucket API client. This is because Git-Review is the main project for the summer, and currently it only needs a small subset of the APIs offered by BitBucket. Nevertheless, if in the future more people find Bucketkit useful, we can go on adding new API supports for it.

[opensuse-project] Re: Weekly Report [OSEM][Week 2] Event Splash Page for Visitors
by Gopesh Tulsyan 31 May '14

31 May '14

Hello Community, This week my previously built components were reviewed by the OSEM maintainer Henne and my mentors James & Cornelius. James pointed out my mistakes I had done while coding those components.I had built these segments in a way that was hard to review, as well as my code was redundant as I was doing lot of compound work. So James thought me to do cherry-pick commits(for those pieces which I require in multiple components and which is not yet merged), so that my commits are more granular and atomic.Out of the five components Sponsors is still pending to reviewed, but the rest four(Header, Program, Registration, Cfp) are merged now. I did the components again in small patches which was easily reviewed and was merged. So I faced problems this week in understanding the procedure to code in a way that is accepted.My logic was clear, but I was not following the norms due to which I had to redo my work. I am still working on the coding style suggested by James. Since the larger chunks are over I plan to complete the remaining five segments the upcoming week, so the structure of the splash page with all the data is in place.And to test the splash page with test data so that it doesn't break in any possible case. That's all this week, my progress on OSEM can be found in https://github.com/gopesht/osem .Here's the link to drive folder OSEM Event Splash Page for Visitors Week 2 updates snaps -> https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8TQsfyoffN5emVsNzAzV1VVZFE&usp=sha… Happy Hacking!!
