Deploy software.o.o with updated spanish traslation

by victorhck

Hello. The site software.o.o shows a very bad and uncomplete spanish translation. The translation was made via weblate, and updated 100%. Can someone deploy the new spanish translation? I'm not sure who to ask. Thanks in advance. Greetings. PS: BTW not sure if there's a typo here: https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/blob/master/app/views/distribution… between Tested and Tumbleweed words there's an "I" -- ------------------- GPG Key: 0xcc742e8dc9b7e22a Aprende a proteger la privacidad de tu correo: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/es/ Mi blog sobre openSUSE, GNU/Linux y software libre: https://victorhckinthefreeworld.com/

Accessibility of official documentation from homepage

by Karl Cheng

At the moment, accessing the official documentation is quite difficult to find from the openSUSE homepage. Let's take a look at the typical user flow. ------- 1. Types "opensuse" into their browser's address bar, then clicks first link on Google. We are now at the opensuse.org homepage. 2. After failing to find any form of documentation or support link, the user takes a stab in the dark and tries clicking the tiny "wiki" link at the bottom of the page. We are now on the openSUSE wiki homepage. 3. The user looks for a moment to see if there is a documentation link, then resorts to clicking the support link on the top left sidebar. We are now on Portal:Support. 4. A documentation link! Let's click that. We are now on Portal:Documentation. 5. Oh, another page. Then /finally/ there is the actual link to the official documentation. ------- Now while the user could probably have searched specifically for it, I don't think using Google as the main form of navigation for your website is the most intuitive thing to do. Should there be some direct link added to the homepage? (As an aside, I think opensuse-web should be merged with opensuse-project or something like that.) -- - Karl Cheng (Qantas94Heavy) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

To start working on the right direction, we would love to hear your thoughts, so Ania Bui (our student) and Cynthia Sanchez (co-mentor) have kindly crafted a survey for you[2] :) So please, if you have time, try to fill it out. Your participation will be really appreciated! Thanks in advance!

openSUSE Tumbleweed now full of PIE

by Marcus Meissner

Hi, It might not have been obvious, but if you read Dominiques E-Mails, you will notice that the transition to GCC 7 we also did another transition. Tumbleweed is now built with PIE (Position Independend Executables) as default. This is achieved by a gcc defaults override in the "gcc-PIE" package. This allows full ASLR (address space randomization) for all binaries without specific need to change your actual package, making attacks much harder. While I am still fixing some stragglers where the default did not trigger, and subtracting the packages where PIE was too tricky currently (emacs, qemu, small number of others), I would estimate a 97% coverage at this time. An rpmlint check will be added. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

My feedback on 'membership' request page & 'geekos' group

by Amey Abhyankar

Hello All, 'openSUSE Conference 2017 Annual Meeting With the openSUSE Board' session left very good impressions. Particularly 'Membership reform' slide encouraged me to apply for the 'membership' . I am referring to following recorded session = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fatboA5q7QI&index=14&list=PL_AMhvchzBacOM0D… [Pls move over to 05:03 minutes] I logged in at connect.opensuse.org, wrote about my contribution & submitted the form. While doing this process, I was asked to join 'Geekos' group & to read 'Guiding Principles'. To my finding, respective 'Geekos' group is almost dead & the last post done in the group discussion is 214 days ago. Also, the group has over 5000+ members. Most seems non member. With this regards, I have suggestion to do modification/renovate to the page or, Redirect user to 'Guiding Principles' page itself to click and accept the 'Guiding Principles'. :-) & remove inactive users from this group if possible. Regards, Amey. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Looking for rails hacker with l10n skills

by Ludwig Nussel

Hi, So software.opensuse.org was finally deployed with a new layout that also allows to download Tumbleweed. Unfortunately the way strings are sent to gettext breaks sentences¹ in some if not most languages that are not English. Any rails hackers around who speak some other language than English to fix that up? cu Ludwig [1] e.g https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/blob/master/app/views/distribution… -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
