[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 … [View More]

[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 … [View More]

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] [Cool Live Flash] Weekly report
by zsoltpeterbasak 08 Jul '14

Hello everyone! This week I spent my time with crafting my scripts and making the boot pretty. Pretty as in, work normally. Because so far I used a trick (rd.break, anyone?) to get things up. Taming Dracut is not the easiest thing, if you have no former experience doing so. But I managed to dig through all the modules scripts now (literally, all of them), and now I'm working on the correct way of injecting our system into it. A bulleted list with a somewhat accurate timeline: - Made a … [View More]

Good morning, not sure if this is the right group to ask, but is there a plan to upgrade the current openSUSE 13.1 to KDE 4.13.3 (or later)? I'm asking for the Official openSUSE build, not the respective KDE Project in Buildservice. Thanks Axel

Open pull request in a browser window 4. Checkout a pull request’s changes to local repo The next step is to enable git-review to create, approve/decline, and merge pull requests.

[opensuse-project] Re: Weekly Report [OSEM][Week 6] [GSoC]Event Splash Page for Visitors
by Gopesh Tulsyan 28 Jun '14

Hello Community, I happy to say that I passed my mid-term evaluations, thank you for the support and guidance so far. This week I integrated a theme inspired by onassis of http://www.blacktie.co(license http://www.blacktie.co/about-themes/) I also integrated FontAwesome(license http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/license/) and smoothscroll for better effects and animation for the splash.Although I am open any kind of addition to view level be it animations, assets, layouts.My mentor said … [View More]that theme would be generally changed by the admins using OSEM, so I wrote only one css file for the time being, if time is left I can write one more theme for the splash. So I am left with three components(Press, Footer and Gallery) which I will finish and push next week and as per my proposal I would be working on Email Notifications. The email notifications needs attention because whenever a conference is updated there is no check which part is updated and the participants are not informed about the update which is very essential. This is the link to the folder Week 6, which contains some snaps with theme implemented. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8TQsfyoffN5cWNPaUU1OE1UWms&usp=sha… Happy Hacking :) Gopesh Tulsyan ROR Enthusiast, Final Year Information Technology, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur On Sat, Jun 21, 2014 at 4:41 PM, Gopesh Tulsyan <gopesh.7500(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Community, > This week I completed the Location component with lodgings and added a > banner component to the splash.This banner component is in place of > carousel, it contains a background image, conference title, start-end > dates and description. > > I also added the checkboxes for each component in admin dashboard as > decided previous week, so that admins/organizer now can enable the > component on the splash when they think it's completed.On a different > note, we locked down on the carousel to be implemented as gallery in a > lightbox.This enabled me to use the carousel code that I have written > for taking photos for carousel.
