[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Weekly Update - Git-Review

by Xystushi

Hi, I spent a good part of this week reading documentations of BitBucket REST APIs, in order to extend git-review to work with BitBucket. It occurred to me that the BitBucket community is much smaller and less active than Github’s. I’ve spotted quite a few errors in their API specification after trying everything out in the console; and there isn’t any existing gem that is being actively maintained and supports functionality such as get/send pull requests. Hence, a lot of low level stuff needs to be handled inside git-review itself. I managed to get pull requests retrieval working, and converted the json response into git-review’s internal representation of the pull request object. Next week, I will work on modifying the current Github pull request manipulation methods (such as displaying) so that they are compatible with BitBucket’s pull requests as well.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC report ]Project "Add snapshot support to libvirt xenlight driver

by David kiarie

Hi there, All is on track, that's all I can say. Well,..my networking patch did not pan out mostly because it is horribly broken and I did not spend time on it this week. Instead,..I was reading the qemu QMP commands implementation. Qemu provides a method of communicating with a running qemu domain by applications.This is done through a JSON like implementation for sending commands. At the moment alot of discussion is going on the xen-devel mailing list on how the snapshot API could be implemented in libxl.Due to the nature of the project, this might take some time but as this goes on I get to dig more dipper and dipper into libvirt and the xen code base but I dont mind because the more conversant I am with the codebase the more easily I will write the code when the time comes.Infact, project will entail a lot of discussion because it involves two gigantic projects.I could strain very much and get the code written but getting it into xen.git and libvirt master is another this so I ditch the latter :) Cheers, David. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] week 18 - MATE caja extension project - alexandervdm

by Alexander van der Meij

Hi, For my GSoC project, I will be working on caja, the file manager for the MATE desktop. My primary goal is to extend its extensions functionality to allow runtime (de-)activation of individual plugins, and to create an extension management system to allow more complex extensions. As for my status, I don't have much to report yet. I familiarised myself somewhat with the source code, but overall the last courses of my degree and its subsequent exams have kept me pretty busy. I've talked to one of my mentors, and he agreed with my proposal to get started next Wednesday on the 7th. My apologies for this lackluster update, and I'll do my best to make the next one more exciting :) With kind regards, Alexander -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello everyone, This is my second weekly report in the community bonding period. I have started active work on the project from today, having planned out the sections of code to explore first, and some new ruby gems to be well versed with.I also updated my Github fork and synced it with the main repo. I am constantly corresponding with my mentor on these points and gearing up to start the coding period. Looking forward to an amazing summer !

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] [Cool Live Flash] Weekly report #1

by zsoltpeterbasak

Hello everyone! So, the first report will be a bit content-less, as there is not much to report. (It's due to uni.) But hey, it's a start! This is / will be my first GSoC. And I'm really happy that I managed to get into the openSUSE team. My project goes by the name "Cool Live Flash". Well, the base idea is from my mentor, I will "just" help to make this idea take a form. And now for the progress. Since the beginning, I've been spamming Michal with all sorts of questions, since I had no idea how this all works. He also had a 'homework' for candidates. It was a great warmup, and by solving it, I was able to take a peek at how openSUSE is built. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Linux enthuasist - to a healthy degree - and I did/do use openSUSE, but I never dissected it's liveCD before. It was fun, and thought me a couple of things. Since then, he gave me a couple of tasks to start with, like dissecting other live systems, check out filesystems, and such. Again, the list and the tasks are not forgotten, I really take GSoC seriously. But you have to prioritize. You are forced to. So that list is not done yet (not all of it), but not for long! Once I get busy, I will post about my progress on my blog. (Will include the link in my next report for posts.) See you next week!

[opensuse-project] Re: Weekly Reports [GSoC 2014]

by Gopesh Tulsyan

I started contributing to https://github.com/openSUSE/osem right before the gsoc results were announced so that I could get familiarized with the codebase.I pushed one commit this week which tells developers to generate secret for devise so that the error for "fixnum to string" is resolved. I am looking forward to further developments right after my examinations end on 5th May. Got introduced to my mentor James Mason and Cornelius and the openSUSE community over emails.Also was asked to setup the trello board to keep track of developments by James.

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] LBaaS report

by Péter Vörös

Hello, I am Peter. I'm working on the project Load Balancer as a Service for Zorp. I've started to know Zorp more, reading the manuals, and I'm also working on creating the Zorp GPL RPM packages. I also keep continuous contact with my mentors. Unfortunately I'm doing my MA thesis now, so until 15th May, I don't have really much time, but I really want to finish the packaging as soon as possible.

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Snapper Desktop Integration Weekly Report

by Oguz Kayral

Hi everyone, My name is Oguz and I will be working on integrating snapper with openSUSE desktop tools with Ismail as my mentor. Our first goal was to build a library that communicates with snapper over dbus (to replace libsnapper which is now deprecated), I already implemented a prototype with limited functionality during the proposal phase. Last week I added the functions that were left out back then and signal handling support. I have also started working on the second goal, which is building the GUI client for snapper. I am using Qt Designer and pyuic for the interface. Currently, snapper-gui looks exactly like yast_snapper but it will change in the coming weeks as we add some features that yast_snapper lacks. Next week I will add support for config actions and snapshot listing to snapper-gui.

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] Weekly status report - MATE gstreamer project

by Michal Ratajsky

Hi everyone, this is an exciting time for me being an accepted GSoC student! My project aims to modify the MATE desktop in order to replace the use of a deprecated GStreamer 0.10 library. The project will probably not have a great impact on the users of MATE desktop, but it will make MATE not depend on the deprecated functionality which is an important step forward for MATE developers and maintainers. As for my progress update: 1) I have introduced myself to Stefano Karapetsas and Martin Wimpress, who are my mentors for this project and I have found my way to the development IRC channel where I will discuss the development and receive guidance. 2) I have been working on preparing my work environment in order to be able to compile and run development versions of MATE. 3) I have began investigating gobject and several existing gobject based libraries as for my project I will be building a gobject-based library. During the next week I intend to continue my gobject research and I'd like to start getting more familiar with the gstreamer and libpulse libraries I will also be using.
