[opensuse-project] openSUSE Theme for Jekyll Blogs
by Richard Brown 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Hi all, A few weeks ago I finally got rid of my old wordpress blogs and replaced it with something more 2016, the Jekyll static site generator https://jekyllrb.com/ I've put together an openSUSE theme for Jekyll https://github.com/sysrich/beautiful-jekyll-opensuse For people who don't want to bother setting anything up, Jekyll can be used directly with github pages - The README covers how to fork the theme and set it up on minutes. Jekyll isn't quite as easy as wordpress to live with, but it is a lot more secure, a lot faster, and I'm using it as an opportunity to practice my 'git' skills, which are becoming increasingly important for contributing to lots of different parts of our project, not just developer ones. You can see the theme in action on http://rootco.de Credit to Dean Attali for the original theme, and our own awesome Cynthia & Zvesdana for their work on www.opensuse.org which was surprisingly easy to merge into this theme. Remember, if you have a personal blog, please make sure it's aggregated on http://planet.opensuse.org - the openSUSE community is interested in whatever crazy (or not crazy) stuff you are up to. All you need to do is add it to https://github.com/openSUSE/planet.opensuse.org/blob/master/planetsuse/feeds which you can do via a github pull request, or email admin(a)opensuse.org Regards, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] On @opensuse.org email
by Matwey V. Kornilov 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, I would like to highlight two issues with @opensuse.org emails. Currently, email is implemented via simple redirection to the specified user email address. It complicates email sending and replying. Currently, GMail doesn't permit attaching new custom 'From:' email address without providing corresponding SMTP server credentials and address. The second is that when @opensuse.org email is sent, neither DKIM nor SPF are available for obvious reasons. This sometimes makes SPAM filters unhappy. It is not a complaint. It would be great to know what can be done to fix @opensuse.org email in the modern world. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
