[opensuse-project] Call for adoption and/or erase warning Bacula related package in Archiving:Backup
by Bruno Friedmann 08 Nov '15

08 Nov '15

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.

Would it be possible to make pages like https://yast.github.io/contributing.html for some of the more major projects? I find this new design looks better than the current wiki design. It would also be neat if we could theme the "What can I do for OpenSUSE" page to match this, it would give us a really consistent appearance. > In the old days we made a 24hour IRC hackathon > with 3 people around the globe(8 hours each, depending on reach persons > timeline) be in charge of giving tasks out of a list that we formed to > people who wanted to help, it was very successful and we made a great > amount of work (that would normally needed weeks of people contributing) > in just 24 hours. What do you think? That sounds like a great idea! I think we may be able to get more than 3 people if we ask in the forums + mailing list! I would be willing to help with this, assuming the topics are things I have knowledge about. > Again sorry but there is something wrong with my android device and I > can only answer to you and not the whole list, so... > Let me know your thoughts > Have fun > Kostas > It's not just you, Mathew Carrick seems to not be email the list either, and instead has to email me directly... some sort of weird IP ban/rejection issue? -- 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] Access to openSUSE project on github
by Stefan Dirsch 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Hi guys Just learned that SUSE project on github has been the wrong project for us - after Benjamin and me got access to it. :-( Anyway, I would like to request write access to the openSUSE project on github for our trainee "Benjamin Hertwig" <bhertwig(a)suse.com> github login: bhertwig since his task will be to give our existing Suspend/Hibernate stresstest tool an upstream repository. It should be publically visible. It would be helpful for me also to be in this group, since I'm acting as tutor for him. And so I still would have write access to this tool, after he has left our team. "Stefan Dirsch" <sndirsch(a)suse.com> github login: sndirsch Would this be possible? Thanks, Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

For the time being I have gone through the opensuse git repos and added what I thought was good to add to the lists. If anyone wants to know how to help with the site just follow the instructions on the README file here: https://github.com/alanbortu/asknot-ng/blob/develop/README.md To edit the questions, check the asknot-ng/questions directory. We would use the opensuse file and ignore/remove the others. The asknot-ng/questions/includes/openSUSE directory is where all the actual questions for each section are stored. Please feel free to send any PRs as I am not sure what kind of stuff we have for some of these items. -- Regards, Uzair Shamim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
