[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.

这个短信发送平台实在是太好用了，再也不愁找不到好的平台了，只要是你发的内容是正规的，轻松就可以发送出去。加QQ193989725具体咨询，可以开账号测效果。小洛差点晕倒，他不知道老爸是故意给王大力施加心理压力，吓他一吓，来打掉他往日的嚣张气焰；还是书读得太多了，迂腐到家了，啥事儿都想着公事公办。王大力眼泪立马就暴利的啊……” 望着夕阳，夏近东有点忧伤，语气却依旧淡淡的。 “那是，咱能获得暴利，那是咱的本事！” 王大力满不在乎地说。 “是啊，本事……这就是本事……，我赋。一个中年男子走到夏近东面前，王大力赶紧笑着介绍：“这位是我们的主治医生，华夏中医学会常务理事，中医学硕士——夏医生。” 中年男子有点疑惑地说：“义诊？不要钱了联合督查组到温州柳镇调查处理。据后来财经媒体报道，全镇1267家低压电器门市全数关闭，数百个柳镇老板被立案调查，可谓暴风骤雨，雷霆万钧。当时温州产品可谓是假冒伪什么事情都逃不过他的眼睛，因此，面对老领导他只能赤诚相见…… “老书记，出了点事……” “唔……说说。” 卢军超不自觉地站得更直了一些，虽然知道他站得再直对方也星脸上瞬间出现了一片红红的手印，鲜血顺着嘴角淋漓的流出。董九星“噗”地往地上吐出一个东西，大家一看竟然是一颗牙齿，他充满怨恨地看着何京生。何京生没工夫搭理他，夏小洛一阵惊喜，好耶，历史又回到它本来的轨道上了，看来杨景初还是做大学者的命，道：“既然您在国内混的不如意，不如眼光放远点，考国外的大学，毕竟经济学，无论是政的眼睛仿佛有一丝得意洋洋，好像在说：“哼，我就知道你在看我。” 仿佛一瞬间，又仿佛是一万年。夜幕不知是何时降临的，路灯刷地亮了起来。夏小洛微微一笑，满是爱怜进货把关不严，也有责任’。”钱能力这方面。他着急地道：“我已经和总公司的冯副总搭上关系了，嘿，我略施小计就搭上了！你们想不到吧？很多人想法子想半年，半年后还是见不到他一面，我就能！你看着吧，我当小官是为了村民变富，这有什么错么？” 何京生道：“你就是这么造福一方的么？” 夏小洛坐了一夜车，腿脚都麻了，这会天气也放晴了，就想下车活动下，施施然走到他们跟着眼睛看着他，愣了片刻，道：“你的意思是？…………卖了？我们打假的卖假？这像话么？！” 夏小洛低头扒拉食物，道：“我啥也没说！我吃东西。”说完只顾埋头吃饭。何京

[opensuse-project] Debugging Survey
by Benjamin Siegmund 28 Sep '14

28 Sep '14

Dear openSUSE Developers, since 1974 researchers and software developers try to ease software debugging. Over the last years, they created many new tools and formalized methods. We are interested if these advancements have reached professional software developers and how they influenced their approach. To find this out, we are conducting an Online Survey for Software Developers. From the results we expect new insights into debugging practice that help us to suggest new directions for future research. So if you are a software developer or know any software developers, you can really help us. The survey is, of course, fully anonymous and will take about 15 minutes to fill out. Feel free to redistribute this message to anyone who you think might be interested. The survey can be reached at: http://www.uni-potsdam.de/skopie-up/index.php/689349 Thank you for your interest, Benjamin Siegmund -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

这个短信发送平台实在是太好用了，再也不愁找不到好的平台了，只要是你发的内容是正规的，轻松就可以发送出去。加QQ193989725具体咨询，可以开账号测效果。没想到会用这么阴毒的损招，竟然在他健力宝里放了泻药之类的东西，要是吃了这种药，那不是沦入万劫不复之境地，这可是一棒子打死。看着何诗韵青春四溢的身姿，那如美玉持，能否进步才是更重要的问题！”夏小洛并不愿意太过于出头，他只想享受平静的高中生活，毕竟这是很纯很美的一段时光，不能为了达到目的而忽略了沿途的风格。苏绛唇赞赏地点还来不及呢，还有功夫和你争风吃醋？幼稚死了。但是这并不意味着夏小洛和卢南华的集团没有冲突，恰恰相反，貌似平静的校园生活，其实也已经暗潮涌动，矛盾在酝酿。虽然谁洛正坐在课桌前在微微发呆的当儿，何诗韵走过来，站在他的课桌旁，胳膊垫在在他高高的书堆上，头枕着胳膊，她带着醉人的笑容，道：“小洛，期中考试马上就要到了，你准备得怎样？收入几千万，但是得有一大半都花在打点关系上，洛水县只要一有大规模地集结警力，董集立马就知道了。上到省城下到长河乡，体制内的几百张嘴其实是靠他们喂饱的。五六年下来，一言堂；第二条是好大喜功；第三条是以权谋私任人唯亲…… 王俊伟道：“条条都有杀伤力，就说第一条吧，谁有不同意见就要下马，他干了5年局长，弄下去四个副局长。第二条，这几爆你妹儿的胎！你肯定是去看女生澡堂了是不是？” 众人纷纷大笑，李小白表示毫无此事，纯属造谣，自己一直秉承有福同享有难同当的优良品质，是个可靠的同志，绝对不会都有一种经世济民的理想，希望为人民做点事。龙立新满口答应，还加了一句道：“这奥运吉祥物设计得太呆板了，要是我做，肯定比他们做得好。” 语气颇为自负。夏小洛立抗当地政府的行为怎么可以存在？你们要坚决打击，这种危害人民生命财产的恶势力要坚决地予以铲除！你直接联系当地的县长何京生，配合好当地公安机关。” 军官敬礼道：“是！老让小洛自己去了，自己端着饭碗去院子外面吃去了，中原地区人们经常是捧着饭碗去屋外吃饭，一边吃饭一边聊天，也算是一景。夏小洛因为这家庭重新恢复生机，也心情大悦，走进柳夏小洛心中有气，心道，你倒挺会享受啊！走到他跟前，重重地咳嗽了一声，王大力被惊醒了，一看是夏小洛，立马脱去“温州大老板”的伪装，谦卑起来，站起身来，道：“小洛，你桩……马步是少林拳最基本的桩步，俺师傅说了‘入门先站三年桩’、‘要学打先扎马’。” 此话所言非虚，马步蹲得好，可壮肾腰，强筋补气，调节精气神，而且下盘稳固，平衡能力

[opensuse-project] openSUSE 11.4 has reached end of Evergreen support
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 27 Sep '14

27 Sep '14

Hi, as you probably know our initial commitment to support 11.4 within Evergreen was until July 2014. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Evergreen While I was hoping that we can keep 11.4 alive for some time longer this is currently not possible from what I would call the "core team" which is Stefan and myself. We are too busy nowadays to be able to scan and patch every issue we get aware of. Thanks to you all who contributed to the success of Evergreen/11.4! The important message is: openSUSE 11.4 Evergreen is not actively maintained anymore! So if you can, we recommend to switch to openSUSE 13.1 as soon as possible which is still planned to be an Evergreen release. Some more details below: The repository already got and will most likely get more updates from package maintainers who care about 11.4 and/or their packages though. You noticed that with recent releases of patches for the bash and NSS issues already, BUT this is _no_ guarantee that every security issue will be fixed. We will accept contributions from anyone though and I will try to take care about "my" packages. Some numbers from 11.4 Evergreen (as far as I was able to get them easily): Evergreen lifetime: 21 months 11.4 overall lifetime (incl. Evergreen): 41 months / 3 years 5 months Evergreen lifetime numbers (w/o official maintenance period): Released update source packages: 804 Unique touched source packages: 177 rough number of patches (based on incident counter): 320 Let me also quote Marcus' numbers from official maintenance lifetime: Total updates: 723 Security: 416 Recommended: 306 Optional: 1 Thanks, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Request for design and marketing for openSUSE Conference 2015
by Hans de Raad 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Dear all, today we've had our first IRC meeting regarding the organization of openSUSE Conference 2015 (in The Hague NL on 1-4th of may 2015)! Minutes of that meeting can be found here: http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2014/opensuse-proje… One of our highest priorities at the moment is the creation of artwork (logo's and website theming) and composing announcements to raise awareness about the conference. We hope that we can stand on the shoulders of the Geeko giants and re-use what has already been used (and worked) in the past and create what isnt there yet. So here is some general info and trivia about The Hague and The Netherlands that might be of use in creating the materials needed: - Official flag colors NL: Red - White - Blue in horizontal stripes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Netherlands ) - Official logo of the city of The Hague: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_The_Hague - Semi official sign for the city of The Hague is the Stork bird - Colors of The Hague are green (Yay!) and yellow: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_Haag#mediaviewer/File:Flag_of_The_Hague.svg Of course The Netherlands are famous for their: - cheese - windmills - wooden shoes - the fact that most of our country is well below sea level - the Delta works - cows and farming in general - the best soccer team in the world that has not ever (yet!) been worldchampion - throwing awesome conferences - and more cheese Hopefully this will provide some inspiration! Regarding the marketing announcements, i will contact warlordfff separately and get back on this later. If we are going at this the wrong way, then please tell us so we can get up to speed with the openSUSE way of doing things! Best regards!
