by avishkar gupta 24 May '14

24 May '14

hi, this is my weekly report for week 4 of GSoC (Saturday,May-17 to Saturday,May-24),I'm working on epub support in Atril ,the MATE document viewer . this week was the start of the coding period and to kick things off i started with this commit : https://github.com/rootAvish/atril/tree/28b2c08f60f54a78596746e204f4d009258… creating a directory structure and modifying the autoconf and automake scripts to get started with coding . i also wrote some functions to : 1)extarct the epub ,using zlib and minizip [2] 2)parse the associated XML metadata , using libxml [1] see: [1] https://github.com/rootAvish/atril/commit/0a4d3f34a8aee74019759ace24f84672a… [2] please check the tree for this [3], as i'm looking into something right now and will push changes once i am done. since i require a lot of xml parsing, i tried to keep the xmlparser as generalised as possible . However should the need arise i will have to modify this . i tested these programs separately however not as a part of the application . will do so in this week . Now i'm working on creating a webview , this will be my first priority for the next 2-3 days , so that we can have a basic reader ready by the mid of week 6 ,after which MathJax and other additional features can be worked out . For any future updates to the code please see : [3] https://github.com/rootAvish/atril/tree/epub ( the changes are not on the master branch currently ) As usual report will be available on the blog , as soon as the new one is up ( maybe by Monday ).

[opensuse-project] [GSoC 2014] TSP Application Weekly Update
by karthik senthil 24 May '14

24 May '14

Hello everyone, Last week, as planned in my proposal, I worked on designing the database to implement the customisation feature of states and events of the state_machines(requests and reimbursements). I decided to implement 2 models namely States and Transition_events which is accessible exclusively by super-admins. I worked with my mentor to cover all possible cases in the design, and also analyzed the current implementation in the app to set up the required ActiveRelations. Next week I plan to implement the above design and also test the same. Thank You Karthik.S 2nd Year,Information Technology NITK,Surathkal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Weekly Report [community bonding period]
by Gopesh Tulsyan 24 May '14

24 May '14

I recently pushed a commit to kick start my GSoC project.The commit consisted of a view displaying just the title of the conference.This is the result of clicking the event on the home page. I had also setup the trello board where James assigned tasks to me such as 1) Read the Ruby on Rails Guidelines for selected topics. 2) Asked me to see 20 splash pages and figure out the components to create a list for the OSEM splash page. Currently, I am done with the listing of the components and waiting for the review.I am continuing with the guides. Looking forward to a great summers ahead. Happy Hacking!

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] Weekly status report - MATE gstreamer project
by Michal Ratajsky 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi, this is my fourth weekly status report for my GSoc project. Last week I started preparing a library that will be used in MATE to handle volume controls and related functionality. This week I finally got to writing actual code. I have implemented some essential APIs and also an initial PulseAudio support. Building is fully functional and the library supports dynamic loading of backend modules. Right now the library is able to connect to a PulseAudio server and query a list of sound devices. Next week I plan to solve several problems in the library that I'm aware of and continue adding more features. I hope to have the library fully prepared within 2-3 weeks. Thank you, Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Re: [GSoC] Playlist Functionality for ownCloud Music App
by Volkan Gezer 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi all, This week, I needed to learn more about Music App to make the playlist functionalities working. The previous week, I was not thinking that this would be that hard, but now I understood that there are many things to learn even to make basic functionality work. For everything that I completed this week, I needed to read JSON basics, Restangular API documents and learn some OC API functions. As a short update to this week: - We now have a new template to show when a *hard-coded* playlist selected from the list - A new api function is written to get the raw song data - Committed the changes into repo. Can be followed from here: https://github.com/owncloud/music/pull/233 Next week: - When a list is selected, all user songs that belong to this list should be displayed in the template that we have. - And maybe getting hardcoded user playlist from database?

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Zorp LBaaS
by Péter Vörös 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi all, This week, I continued creating a working OpenStack system. Keystone, Glance and Nova are installed up, and works fine, also Neutron is almost ready to use. Because some steps are still needed to make it work, I did not start coding phase yet, but I can say I've became quite familiar with the load balancer related source code of Zorp. Next week I plan to start the implementation of missing strategies.

by David kiarie 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi guys, The only thing I have to say is that I will not be working on xen libxl at least for now and will instead be focusing on libvirt as I wait for Bamvor Jian Zhang to submit his next version of the libxl snapshot patch . We have agreed on the API to be exposed and I will be moving on with the libvirt work.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Git-Review Weekly Update
by Xystushi 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi, Here’s a short update about this week’s progress. I’ve been focusing on developing Bucketkit, a BitBucket REST API client written in Ruby. It is heavily inspired by Octokit.rb, and it was my intention to make the internals and APIs similar to Octokit’s. The (bare minimum) foundation, including the handle of http requests, response, and authorizations, has been completed. On top of that, I’ve implemented the retrieval of pull request, and it worked fine. I’ve open-sourced the repo here https://github.com/xystushi/bucketkit. There isn’t much in the codebase yet, but I’m adding more stuff to it whenever the needs arise from the development of Git-Review. Cheers, Xystushi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-project] A few questions about You, OSC & contributions - ty if you do a reply

Sure.... On 05/04/2014 06:33 AM, Françoise Wybrecht wrote: 1-2-3 : Facts, ideas, actions ... Questions (simple & fast, not quick & dirty) : >1. did you go to OSC12-13-14 ? >2. When yes, where you volonteers, talkers ? >did you ask for tsp ? Yes I attended OSC12-13-14 In some ways yes [Volunteering] . I tend to upload live session updates,photos via various feeds like Twitter [ with hash-tags to include major open source communities/projects/cities in my country],openSUSE Facebook page & Google Plus. Yes I asked for TSP >3. Will you go to osc15 ? => when no, why => when perhaps : what makes your decision ? 99.99% Yes! [ I don't mean "SLA" way :-D . But yes I mean "Definitely". ] >4. Have you any ideas on how to increase ppl at OSC ? >(hoe to be VISIBLE, how to be more attractive .. héhé) Yes certainly. i) May be we can focus on relatively dense city which has many open source communities,technical Universities & a city where SUSE has office. ii) Such a location in Europe which is easy to reach to every1 by means of various parameters like time,money & feasibility. >5. What kinda talks would interest you (did interest you), yes YOU ? (examples) i)osc12 really had tremendous mixture of various talks which was delightful. ii)osc13 had more technical talks as per my observation which were simply amazing. In parallel, few brief sessions about SUSE & openSUSE were really interesting. Few talks from osc13 were very relevant to my domain i.e. Telecom. It was an good learning curve to me to gain knowledge from those sessions. iii)osc14 again had many fascinating sessions from various domains/projects/communities. Special thanks to Mr.Untz for talk about "openstack + openSUSE". I was looking forward for "openstack + opensuse" talk at osc14. It is good to know the progress of such integrations/developments to promote it back in local community & afterwards at work place. iv) at osc15, looking forward to attend technical talks & also business talks like for example "ARM based data centre" by Andrew then "SUSE Linux Enterprise & openSUSE" talk by Jan Weber in osc14. I definitely missed speakers from osc12 & osc13. Hoping to see them at osc15 with interesting technical sessions like before :-) >6. Have you any idea of WHO could be a great keynote speaker for next >year (and it would be better for openSUSE TSP when living in Europe ) Keynote by 1 of the board member followed by Town hall is a good option like we had in osc14. >7. Would you have time to contribuate more ? Yes I would have time to contribute more. >8. Last & option : for you, what is the best way to increase openSUSE contributors ? i) More presence in Central Asia & Middle East. ii) I came across interesting question by 1 of my friend who was trying to sign up at forums.opensuse.org & he found that his country name is not there in the list i.e. Iran. >9. free and open others ideas ? Just an idea from marketing point of view :- i) Free openSUSE media distribution in India & from India. [upon every new release] We can keep limit due to the density of region. I am pretty sure there are many out here in India who don't get latest release in short period of time [due to bandwidth issue] which results in lose/lag to them. Subsequently, they can not report/submit bugs or start building something on top of new release. [ That's a lose to our community in some ways. :-) ]. My analysis says if a new Linux user in India has FREE Linux media in his hand, he quickly adopts that road map. Classic example is Canonical Ltd. Thanks & Regards, Amey Abhyankar.
