[opensuse-project] "What Can I Do For OpenSUSE?"

by Uzair Shamim

Hi, I attended an interesting presentation today regarding how to get new contributors involved in open source projects. One link that I thought was really interesting was this site run by mozilla: http://whatcanidoformozilla.org/ To summarize, this site asks the user a bunch of questions and tries to help them find an area of the project where they could have an immediate impact. Would anyone be interested in starting a similar webpage for openSUSE? Does something like this already exist for the project? I don’t think it would be that difficult to setup, we would just need to make/improve wiki pages for sections that don’t already have a well documented process. I will try and have a POC on github sometimes next week if possible as I am pretty swamped right now. Please let me know what you think, I feel like this would be really useful but I would like feedback from the community :) -- Regards, Uzair Shamim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Where is the "suggestion box" for packages?

by Greg Jung

I've spent some time reading about the factory process, etc. - but I couldn't find a simple way to get two issues in (I'm sure I'll know more later). This year I've done a lot of testing of a single package, PLPLOT (https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/) , on three distinct platforms (MSYS2-mingw-w64, Cygwin, OpenSuse 13.2), each hosted on my computer, for compatibility with the officially installed packages. Two simple issues I'm pretty confident deserve advancement are: 1. Update libharu - its version is 2.2.1 from the Suse repository. This version produces an error in the plplot test usage (cause unknown, but error no longer there when I use libharu 2.3.0, as is, compiled out of the box). https://github.com/libharu/libharu/archive/RELEASE_2_3_0.zip 2. bring in the D language compiler gdc in place of the "dmd" version. GDC has been successfully incorporated into the Debian and Fedora packages. When it grows up it should be a regular part of the GCC suite. http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/GDC_and_Fedora_20_22046… Regards, Greg Jung -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Leap development model

by Alex Naumov

Hello, I'm looking for a picture of the "Leap development model". Something like this [1], but for Leap (there is Factory => Tumbleweed). Does anybody know where I can find one? Ok, "desktop" stuff come from Tumbleweed. What's about "core" stuff? Will it be correct just to change Factory to SLE? Thank you, Alex [1] https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory_development_model https://en.opensuse.org/images/3/3f/Factory_workflow_2014.png -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Announcement concerning my openSUSE board position

by Robert Schweikert

Hi all, I have come to the conclusion that I am no longer able to provide the enthusiasm and time to the openSUSE Board and the project that I believe both deserve. Therefore I am making my seat available for election during the upcoming openSUSE Board Elections. This was a very difficult decision for me. I would like to thank all those who voted for me during the last election and apologize at the same time that I have chosen not to complete the 2 year term. I believe my decision is in the best interest of the project. Thank you for your trust. I will remain on the board until the new board is formed. Later, Robert -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU Public Cloud Architect LINUX rjschwei(a)suse.com IRC: robjo

[opensuse-project] Fwd: [FOSDEM] Distributions Devroom CFP

by Bruno Friedmann

Seem they forgot to warn us. Don't hesitate to reshare to your friends and relatives. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [FOSDEM] Distributions Devroom CFP Date: Monday 02 November 2015, 15.46:23 From: Brian Stinson <brian(a)bstinson.com> To: distributions-devroom(a)lists.fosdem.org CC: devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, centos-devel(a)centos.org, devroom-managers(a)lists.fosdem.org, fosdem(a)lists.fosdem.org FOSDEM 2016 - Distributions Devroom Call for Participation The Distributions devroom will take place 30 & 31 January, 2016 at FOSDEM, in room K.4.201 at Université Libre de Bruxelles, in Brussels, Belgium. As Linux distributions converge on similar tools, the problem space overlapping different distributions is growing. This standardization across the distributions presents an opportunity to develop generic solutions to the problems of aggregating, building, and maintaining the pieces that go into a distribution. We welcome submissions targeted at developers interested in issues unique to distributions, especially in the following topics: - Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues, eg: content distribution and documentation - Working with vendor relationships (eg. cloud providers, non-commodity hardware vendors etc ) - The future of distributions, emerging trends and evolving user demands from the idea of a platform - User experience management ( onboarding new users, facilitating technical growth, user to contribution transitions etc ) - Building trust and code relationships with the upstream components of a distribution - Solving traditional problems like package management, and content management (eg. rpm/dpkg/ostree/coreos ) - Contributor resource management, centralised trust management, key trust etc - Integration technologies like installers, deployment facilitation ( eg. cloud contextualisation ) Submissions may be in the form of 30-55 minute talks, panel sessions, round-table discussions, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions or lightning talks. Dates ------ Submission Deadline: 10th Dec 2015 Acceptance Notification: 15th Dec 2015 Final Schedule Posted: 17th Dec 2015 How to submit -------------- Visit https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM16 1.) If you do not have an account, create one here 2.) Click 'Create Event' 3.) Enter your presentation details 4.) Be sure to select the Distributions Devroom track! 5.) Submit What to include --------------- - The title of your submission - A 1-paragraph Abstract - A longer description including the benefit of your talk to your target audience - Approximate length / type of submission (talk, BoF, ...) - Links to related websites/blogs/talk material (if any) If you have any questions, feel free to contact the devroom organizers: distributions-devroom(a)lists.fosdem.org (https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/distributions-devroom) Cheers!

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Leap 42.1 is RELEASED

by Richard Brown

The wait is over and a new era begins for openSUSE releases. Contributors, friends and fans can now download the first Linux hybrid distro openSUSE Leap 42.1. Since the last release, exactly one year ago, openSUSE transformed its development process to create an entirely new type of hybrid Linux distribution called openSUSE Leap. Version 42.1 is the first version of openSUSE Leap that uses source from SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) providing a level of stability that will prove to be unmatched by other Linux distributions. Bonding community development and enterprise reliability provides more cohesion for the project and its contributor’s maintenance updates. openSUSE Leap will benefit from the enterprise maintenance effort and will have some of the same packages and updates as SLE, which is different from previous openSUSE versions that created separate maintenance streams. Community developers provide an equal level of contribution to Leap and upstream projects to the release, which bridges a gap between matured packages and newer packages found in openSUSE’s other distribution Tumbleweed. Since the move was such a shift from previous versions, a new version number and version naming strategy was adapted to reflect the change. The SLE sources come from SUSE’s soon to be released SLE 12 Service Pack 1 (SP1). The naming strategy is SLE 12 SP1 or 12.1 + 30 = openSUSE Leap 42.1. Many have asked why 42, but SUSE and openSUSE have a tradition of starting big ideas with a four and two, a reference to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Every minor version of openSUSE Leap users can expect a new KDE and GNOME, but today is all about openSUSE Leap 42.1, so if you are tired of a brown desktop, try a green one. Thank You to everyone who helped make this big Leap a success Have a lot of fun, and get thinking about how we can make Leap 42.2 even better :) Regards, Richard Brown openSUSE Board Chairman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Call for adoption and/or erase warning Bacula related package in Archiving:Backup

by Bruno Friedmann

Since sometimes, bacula project has released two main major version. (7.0 and 7.2). Nobody has taken care of the packages available on obs Archiving:Backup [1] Those packages have never been submitted to Factory, and from the last upstream announcement the project will deliver directly prebuild package for major distribution. Moreover, since at least 3 years I'm using another tool called Bareos, and have no more interest nor time to maintain the software. So if you're interested to take ownership of those, raise your hands now. I will let a grace period of one or two months before sending a delete request.
