[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] [Announcement] SUSE Release SLE Sources to openSUSE Project
by Richard Brown 02 May '15

02 May '15

Dear Community, SUSE is preparing to pro-actively release a significant portion of the SUSE Linux Enterprise source code, including a regular stream of maintenance updates, to the openSUSE Project. These packages will give the community an enduring, stable, and maintained base, upon which exciting community led offerings could be built. An openSUSE community distribution built upon this base can plan for a sustainable stream of packages, as we intend to continue releasing and updating this platform in line with the cadence of SUSE Linux Enterprise and it's service packs. We at SUSE are going to be using this opportunity to focus more engineering efforts on the common elements between SLE and openSUSE, by directly increasing contributions to openSUSE and sharing sources, tools and processes to optimize collaboration for the mutual benefits. As members of the openSUSE community, we at SUSE invite everyone else in the community to collaborate on this base and to consider leveraging it for future openSUSE releases. We're keen to hear your feedback and talk about involvement in this project. For more details, I will be presenting about this concept in detail and how we propose it could be adopted by openSUSE at the openSUSE Conference on Friday, at 10:15 in the Main Hall. Have a lot of fun, 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

The significant portion of SLE code is from openSUSE and/or other open projects anyway, so that may not be all that exciting. >An openSUSE community distribution built upon this base can plan for >a sustainable stream of packages, as we intend to continue releasing >and updating this platform in line with the cadence of SUSE Linux >Enterprise and it's [sic] service packs. Reads to me like "The openSUSE distribution converges with SLE and the two become the new SUSE Linux (open, this time)".

[opensuse-project] Want to be part of openFATE Screening Team
by Akash Vishwakarma 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Hey, Just a few weeks ago I came to know about openFATE and got so in love with it. So, I decided to be part of openFATE Screening Team. For that I've tried to contact on #opensuse-project on freenode. From there I got reference to spyhawk. On contacting him I found out that he is not doing screening. Then I've mailed everyone listed on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Openfate_screening. Only Andreas Jaeger replied. And he too is not doing the screening. So, some questions now. Is anyone doing openFATE screening? If anyone is doing. Then, I also want to start screening. Tell me how can I start?

[opensuse-project] oSC15 Social events: Friday
by Hans de Raad 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hi all! At any conference, the hallway track is at least as important as the "formal" talks and workshops, and for openSUSE Conference and Kolab Summit we think we have an excellent selection of social activities to engage in and get to know your fellow conference attendees! For Friday we don't have an "official" social event planned, how ever we won't leave you hanging in midair! At the conference venue we'll have the pretty great AwesomeRetro gameconsoles to improve your Duckhunting skills and suchlike and there will be simple food like fries and suchlike. Beer: However, we also arranged a room at what has officially been awarded as "The Netherlands Best Beer Restaurant" which is Rootz slap bang in The Hagues' great city center near the Grote Markt! Here is the English version of their website http://www.rootz.nl/best-beer-restaurant Info about the Saturday and Sunday will follow asap (hint, it will involve BBQ's and beer)! Enjoy!

[opensuse-project] [osc-15] what is open, what public transports
by jdd 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello, The first day of osc-15 is may 1. This is labor day everywhere. in some countries (US, England), stores are open nearly always, incuding sunday, but in some others (France, Germany) theyt are closed ons sunday, and on may 1st can you explain what stores will be openned/closed on this day, and what public transports (buses, trams) will be affected - and what the schedule will be this week end. I noticed there is a 3 days public transport pass at a pretty cheap price (16.50) - dayly 6.50. is it easy/possible to use OV-fiets seems to be approx €10 + 3 a day but it's not clear how it works for example between den haag center and westvliet thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] sleepover
by jdd 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello, I have seen what you call a sleepover in the photo of OSEM, and think it's a bit hard for me (69 years old), so I will keep my hostel the haag and rent a bike to make the approx 5km from hostel to osc-15 :-) not a big deal. I'm dropped to Amsterdam schiphool in thursday April 30 around 16:10 (at least it's what my reservation says :-), so I may be in den haag around 17 and at my hostel around 18 (on bike). I can be at osc-15 around 18:30 if you needs me, but if you don't I will only come early on friday. I have two talks to do I don't know when... and I want to take part of the talks about openSUSE community management. I plan to make photo/video reports during the osc-15, but of course only from time to time. For the rest of the time I'm yours... specially for lunchs and probably most of the dinners, and also to clean things on sunday afternoon, as I only go away on monday. see you soon jdd (and by the way I know how much work is all this, and I thank you much! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] register static UID/GID on openSUSE?
by Tim Serong 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

Hi All, A long time ago, there was a thread regarding UID/GID registration (see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2009-05/msg00221.html) AFAICT the question "how can one register a static UID/GID in the 0-99 range" wasn't answered. Does anyone know if there are still any spare UIDs in the range 0-99? Someone told me there weren't but I thought I'd better raise this here, just in case there are. And if there are any available, how do I reserve one? Context: the ceph project wants to reserve a UID/GID - being a distributed storage cluster, it's best if the UID/GIDs remain static across the whole cluster, and the most straightforward way to do this is to hardcode a UID/GID in a useradd/groupadd invocation in the rpm %pre script. (Pardon the cross-post, I picked what I hope are the two most suitable lists - happy to drop one or the other, or ask elsewhere as appropriate) Regards, Tim -- Tim Serong Senior Clustering Engineer SUSE tserong(a)suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Packaging workshop on OSC 2015
by Tomáš Chvátal 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Hello everybody, as openSUSE Conference 2015 drives closer we started checking up our schedule [1] and noticed there are quite few packaging things. To not overlap each other and to provide better content we would join our efforts and do coherent session with all possible stuff planned in [2][3]. Anyway apart from being happy about nice presentations/workshop we would also like to know how many people would probably attend to this fancy tetrapack training day. If you are interested about hearing how you can do things correctly with pretty examples (and even prettier presenters :P) we would like to ask you to register on the talk [4] to determine the presence size we would have to keep on the event (for 50 people it is quite different amount of people helping compared to 10 :)). TIA Tom [1] https://events.opensuse.org/conference/osc15/schedule [2] https://github.com/openSUSE/packaging-workshop-2015 [3] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2015-03/msg00068.html [4] https://events.opensuse.org/conference/osc15/proposal/564

[opensuse-project] Henne Vogelsang the Troll
by Sam M. 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi all, I have a problem with how Henne Vogelsang is moderating the email list. This week I got a rude and infantilizing message from him telling me to "stop insulting users" because I wrote the word "ass" in an email. This is an email list where people should be able to express themselves without fear of insulting others because of slang terms or harsh/brash exchanges. Free software email lists are known for flame wars with all types of different people saying different things. If it weren't for strong criticism or incongruent ways of thinking, free software would be insurmountably different than what it is today. My email never went through, but Henne still took it upon himself to write me an email that told me what to do (he didn't ask), and told me that if I do it again I'm going to have access removed. Obviously Henne is a very insecure person that only sees things in one manner, and leaves no dialogue open. Who the hell gave him complete access to the email list and why? I have to say that he's doing a crappy job managing it, and his socialization skills over the internet are dismal. It shouldn't be up to Henne to pick and choose what people say and which messages go through and which ones don't. If somebody has a problem, there needs to be a procedure in place which allows people to contact SUSE directly. There is no information on openSUSE's website that lists who's who, as far as who's managing email lists. I saw Henne wrote the rule set for the opensuse(a)opensuse.org wiki, yet it never mentioned forbidden language; it's also very poorly written. Is Henne the sole totalitarian controller of the wiki, rules, gatekeeper, etc.? Something else I found interesting is that Henne is a total hypocrite, as I found this on his website: "I’m chewing on something for a couple of weeks now and I think I need to tell you before my jaw turns into dust. It’s about the openSUSE Project and what’s happening with it. I’m heavily involved in the project. Since over 10 years I get paid by my employer to work in that project and I spend a lot of my spare time on it. It’s a huge part of my life, both personal and professional and I love it! I love the people, I love how the project is set up and I love all the cool results we produce together. But since a couple of weeks, I couldn’t really pin down if there was a single cause, what it was or when, I was in misery about it. It’s only yesterday that while talking to a fellow openSUSE Board member that I realized what really causes my grief. All of the sudden this project went from “Hey dude, let’s do cool things together” to “I have this and that opinion and I’m going to stick it to you!”. The whole project went from collaboration to politics in a blink. Now I’m sure all of you tin foil hat wearing people out there will start to spin this as result of some single event, whatever fits your agenda best, but I assure you it’s not. Sometime in the last couple of weeks this tipped over and we started to have discussions about all aspects of the theory of politics, we argue about human rights or quotes from Mahatma Gandhi, people put up motions for the powers that be, the structure and people are questioned to the last extent, alliances are forged, opportunities are seized to get even and a lot of distrust is spreading around. And there are two answers so far I have heard. One is that people say that this is normal. Because we as open source project always ask for equal rights, democracy and all these other crazy liberal ideas and that now we reap what we sow: politics. So however you are involved in this, like me for instance that stood up and took responsibility for nasty things nobody else wants to do, you have asked for this and now got what was coming to you. Don’t be a crybaby now, bitch! The other answer I see to this from the members of our project is to be passive. YAWN politics… I want to code, draw, write, fix, test. Politics are none of my interests and I don’t want to get involved. You idiots can fight this out, I just work on my stuff while you’re doing that. So however you are involved in this, like me for instance that stood up and took responsibility for nasty things nobody else wants to do, you have asked for this and now got what was coming to you. Don’t look at me, not interested! Both are equally destructive and neglect the reason all of us are here. We are here for one thing: FUN! Yes, remember please why you have come to the openSUSE Project. Because it’s fun to use the software for any purpose you want. Because it’s great to study how the software works, and change it to make it do what you wish. Because it’s cool to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor. Because it’s a great feeling to give the whole community a chance to benefit from your work. You know what’s wrong with us? We have forgot to Have a lot of fun! Can all of you who love openSUSE please go to a console, open an xterm, gnome-terminal or a konsole, do a cat /etc/motd and think about the output for a while? Then pull yourself together and stop doing what is robbing ALL OF US of the reason we are here! If you want to push through your agenda, don’t! If you want to stick it to the man, don’t! If you want to insist on all of your given rights, don’t! If you want to be pigheaded, don’t. If you want to be serious, don’t! Instead, remember to Have a lot of fun!" No only is the entire post a total troll post where he calls people bitches and idiots, but the entire post is written in a disgusting "I'm better and smarter than you attitude" and "I'm too smart and good to get into politics because I'm so special". I also found comments apparently from people Henne used to work with and they were disgruntled about his attitude, and you can find those on his blog. I obviously am concerned with the openSUSE project which is why I want to bring attention to this issue; Henne is not my boss, nor does he get to dictate what I say. Threatening to kill somebody on an email list is grounds for removal, but cuss words or tongue in cheek remarks aren't. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [ml-admin] Subscriber only posting is back on
by Henne Vogelsang 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hey, after experimenting a lot with non-subscriber posting and our spam filter we have come to the conclusion that we can't win that fight :-/ The wide range of HAM and SPAM that make it to our hundreds of lists make it virtually impossible to set up a spam filter with a good miss/false positive ratio. So we have turned on subscriber only posting for all lists again. Non subscriber posts are moderated. That moderation can take potentially a very long time, so better subscribe to the list you're posting to. If you receive mails by some other means (nntp or whatever) subscribe to the nomail version of the list[1] Have a lot of fun...

[opensuse-project] End of lifetime patches: openSUSE-release
by Lars Vogdt 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Hi Maintenance I'm currently checking how the end of lifetime for an openSUSE release is handled - and currently I just see "release-notes-openSUSE" as the only package which is released for this. But IMHO the following packages should see a update at the end of a product like openSUSE 13.1: 1) release-notes-opensuse 2) openSUSE-release 3) monitoring-plugins-zypper Reasons: for 1: the release notes should contain a chapter / note at the very beginning about the end of lifetime for a product. This helps customers to quickly note that they are trying to get outdated information for an outdated product. => done. for 2: openSUSE-release "owns" the file /etc/products.d/openSUSE.prod - here you can add a line like this: <endoflife>2015-01-01</endoflife> This line will trigger YaST to add a popup window telling the user that his product is no longer supported (tested with openSUSE 13.1) once he starts the update manager. for 3: the monitoring-plugins-zypper package - once installed on a client - currently also checks for outdated OS versions by parsing /etc/SuSE-release (resp. the successor). If we implement the "endoflife" Tag in the product file, this package can rely on this tag and does not need updates any longer for this. At the moment, this package allows administrators to check via remote monitoring if a system needs update or is out of lifetime. What do you think? Especially if the "openSUSE-release" package see's a patch like the suggested one in the future, this can also be used by other tools. Should I open a bug report for this? with kind regards, Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
