[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 … [View More]

[opensuse-project] All openSUSE wikis updated and moved home
by Christian Boltz 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Dear openSUSE Community, sometimes plans change while you are working on them ;-) The plan for yesterday evening was to move and update some of the localized wikis. Things worked better and faster than expected, and in the end we moved *all 18 localized wikis* from Provo to Nuremberg and updated them to MediaWiki 1.27 :-) This means *all* openSUSE wikis are now running on MediaWiki 1.27 and support the features announced for the english wiki last week [1]. I didn't have time to change … [View More]

Dear openSUSE Community, the MediaWiki instance hosted behind en.opensuse.org has been moved from the old Provo cluster to the new Nuremberg opensuse network. Together with the move, the wiki also got an update from MediaWiki 1.22 to 1.27, and the VM hosting it from an old SLE version to openSUSE Leap 42.3 (yes, we are eating our own dogfood!) ‎ New features are: - including files directly from github -> https://en.opensuse.org/Help:GitHub_inclusion - namespace-specific boilerplates … [View More]

by Christian Boltz 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Hello, [cross-post - please reply only on one of the mailinglists] A month after the first call for testing the updated wiki, here is another one ;-) Compared to the "old" test wiki [1], there were a few changes: - the test wiki is now running on the final VMs that will also be used for the production wiki - login is now done with the Auth_remoteuser extension (which means we can continue to use the "nice" login form) - the test wiki is now based on a (nearly) up-to-date snapshot of … [View More]
