[opensuse-project] [gsoc] Weekly status report - MATE gstreamer project
by Michal Ratajsky 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi, this is my twelfth weekly status report for my GSoc project. This week I did a bit of everything. I did more work on the MATE volume control application, libmatemixer received a load of updates, mainly in the PulseAudio code and I did preparations to extend libmatemixer with OSS support in the means of research, a BSD virtual machine and there is an initial skeleton code and build support in libmatemixer. While there are still some open issues in the volume control app and … [View More]

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] Weekly Report - Zorp LBaaS driver for OpenStack
by Péter Vörös 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi all, This week I continued my work with the Zorp driver. I integrated it into neutron, and implemented the required driver functions. The driver cannot create the policy.py (which is like a configuration file for Zorp) yet, but it builds an XML, which I will generate the policy file from. In the next week I'd like to finalize the XML builder and start to write the policy generator. As before, you can always check my work at: https://github.com/VPetyaa/neutron Regards, Peter -- To … [View More]

[opensuse-project] News from the chairman
by Vincent Untz 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi fellow Geeko-lovers, I'm coming to you with some news: due to some changes in my life (pretty good news, you'll hear about that in a couple of months), I've decided to step down from the chairman position of the openSUSE board. I'm stepping down with regrets because these two years as chairman have been totally awesome, and I would love to keep contributing to the project that way. But I know I won't have enough time to dedicate to being a chairman in the months to come, and I'm a strong … [View More]

[opensuse-project] Conference archive
by Andrew Wafaa 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

Aloha, Is there a particular reason why we don't have an archive of previous conferences that is easily browse-able? As soon as a conference is over, the site is updated with the next event, which isn't unreasonable; the issue is that there is no way for someone to have a look at previous events and see topics etc, which may be of use for someone thinking of submitting a talk or even just attending. It also helps in getting sponsorship, as a prospective sponsor can see details of what their … [View More]

[opensuse-project] [GSoC 2014][MATE] Weekly report: ePub support in Atril
by avishkar-gupta 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

Hi community, Sorry for being a day late with the report, was feeling under the weather yesterday so didn't feel like writing one. So this week, now that I finally have depth knowledge of the large code base of Atril I re-factored the code to create an extended type with the WebKitWebView so that I may get rid of all the GTK errors. Must say it has been quite a learning experience. So as I was saying I re-factored the code so that now we have a new type to handle the webview and all its … [View More]

[opensuse-project] [GSoC] [Cool Live Flash project] (totally not a flash player) Weekly report
by zsoltpeterbasak 13 Jul '14

13 Jul '14

Hey everyone! So this week I worked on chain loading the scripts to make things working all good and proper. (Okay this sounds kinda short, but I started to pick apart all the scripts in charge of booting - Dracut. So after I tracked down which one to remove, which one to keep, I started re-writing my scripts, once again. Now I have three services, three scripts, in order to have the dialog displayed, do preparation, and boot the final system.) Uhm well, today is testing day. Wrote my … [View More]

[opensuse-project] Re: Weekly Report [OSEM][Week 8] [GSoC]Event Splash Page for Visitors
by Gopesh Tulsyan 13 Jul '14

13 Jul '14

Hello Community, This week I started with email notifications. James said the listed 5 notifications * Notify all participants when Conference dates/Registration dates are updated.Highlight dates. * Notify all participants when venue is changed.Highlight address and Venue name. * Notify all participants when a supporter level added.Also to notify, when the price of the supporter level in changed. * Notify all participants when Call for papers dates are added/updated. * Notify all … [View More]participants when the schedule is made public. are good to go.So I completed the first and the second, both are in pipeline and is not merged yet.The other thing I thought while implementing is that it takes lot of time to send email to participants in the middle of updating the conference for the first (say).So sending emails while updating data is a really bad idea, so I thought of putting these in the background jobs, well in layman terms Queue them to get processed later so that the UX is not hampered. I thought of using https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job . But using this didn't seem to worked well.The emails are getting delivered without using the gem and on using it is throwing errors. So major time went on fixing this and still I am not been to fix this issue.I worked with James and it figured out that for new emails I should first write tests and then reproduce the error that I got with delated_jobs on specs. So probably, I try to finish email notifications with the gem.Well, that's all this week.

[opensuse-project] [gsoc] Weekly status report - MATE gstreamer project
by Michal Ratajsky 12 Jul '14

12 Jul '14

Hi, this is my eleventh weekly status report for my GSoc project. This week I continued working on MATE volume control application as well as libmatemixer. I have decided to dig a little deeper into the application, clean up the code, rewrite a few parts and fix problems related to an unfinished GTK3 port. This turns out to be a large amount of work, but I think the extra spent time is well worth. There have also been many fixes to both the application and libmatemixer and libmatemixer … [View More]

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

Hi there, As I said last time the goals of the project changed slightly because there was not a lot of enthusiasm by xen developers on snapshot support in xen so after the patch I wrote for libvirt I moved on and I am now writing a xen-xl parser for libvirt. This week I refactored the code in xen_xm.c as I want to reuse. Reading directly from the diff, here is what I have: For the function xenParseXM, I split it into xenParseXMGeneral; parse the general configs such as uuid, … [View More]

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.

Hello everyone! Been sick since last Sunday, and it only got worse from Monday. (But I am getting better!) So, this week I fiddled around with Dracut (surprise!), and Dialog. I ran into a little problem. Dialog is not too keen to run at early stages. It runs, but input is close to non-existent. So what I worked on: - Placed CLF into different hooks. (haven't tried to make it the very last thing) - Removing auto-mounts and adding CLF (this worked fine). - Trying out 'whiptail' - Debian's … [View More]

[opensuse-project] Re: Weekly Report [OSEM][Week 7] [GSoC]Event Splash Page for Visitors
by Gopesh Tulsyan 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Hello Community, This week I finished the remaining components: Gallery and Footer and added Markdown for description fields that are rendered in the splash.The gallery is designed such that the splash page load is not affected.When the user clicks the "Gallery" button for the first time, the photos are loaded in a modal with the carousel via AJAX.After that for preceding clicks only the modal is invoked, until the page is refreshed. I did this by keeping a countdown variable in Javascript. … [View More]For the footer I just made a up-arrow button which is displayed when the user scrolls down length of 100px.On clicking the button the user is taken to the topmost component, i,e the banner via smoothscroll.So the navigation and UX is built properly by using animation, tabs on the header and a button at the footer. I implemented markdown for only description fields that are rendered directly on to the splash.I did this using redcarpet gem and also added bootstrap-markdown(toopay) editor for description fields so that easily markdown tags are added by click without any hassle. Next week, I will start with email notifications.I have listed some notifications on my Trello board as suggested by James, to keep track of things.I still has to discuss what notifications are relevant to be sent. Well thats it!! for this week. Happy Hacking!!

There were some prerequisites for this like adding a new field to the state model to identify the unique initial state of the machine. So I added the same and also wrote a validation method validates_intial_state which ensures that only one initial state exists per machine. After this I changed the current static creation method of state_machine in request.rb to a dynamic one by … [View More]

The porting work has also discovered many bugs in libmatemixer which I have either fixed or have been working on. Also, I have ported the MATE Settings Daemon to libmatemixer, which was initially on the next week's todo list. … [View More]

I'm happy to announce that I ended up with mark 5 (or grade A), so I'm quite happy now! :) Back to the project, I passed the midterm, and consulted with … [View More]

Hallo openSUSE, gern würde ich mich im openSUSE-Forum anmelden. Dazu wollte ich mich registieren. Leider aber kann ich auf der Registierungs-Website das Recaptcha weder sehen noch hören (mit Firefox 30 unter Ubuntu Linux). Könnt Ihr mir da weiterhelfen?
