[opensuse-project] HP Servers with OpenSUSE or SLES? Which ones?
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hello, I am putting together a Demo for OpenSUSE and SLES for a Var meeting in April. HP is providing the Hardware. They have requested for me to give them info on the server's. They have requested part numbers. A quick search of the HP site, did not give me which server's were know to work with SUSE Linux or OpenSUSE. Does anyone know which Server's are the best for Showing of Novell's version of Linux?

[opensuse-project] mailing list for cross-distributions collaboration
by Lucas Nussbaum 01 Mar '08

01 Mar '08

Hi, A few months ago, I asked a set of questions on development mailing lists of a few GNU/Linux distributions. This resulted in very interesting discussions. As promised back then, all the answers from all distros I contacted can be read at [0] (on the web) or [1] (as an mbox file). [0] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/distributions/ [1] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/distributions/distributions.mbox.gz Also, Freedesktop.org kindly agreed to host a mailing list to ease discussions between distributions, and act as a central point of contact. You can subscribe on [2], and post to distributions(a)lists.freedesktop.org. [2] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/distributions This mailing list is for people involved (or interested) in the development of distributions. Questions that are on-topic are both technical and social/organizational issues, like: - How do you achieve graphical boot in your distro? Do you use some kind of dependancy-based or events-based boot? - How do you package both ruby 1.8, ruby 1.9 and jruby, or handle KDE vs KDE4? - Do you use a system that gives a limited set of rights to new contributors? Off-topic stuff obviously include trolling about which distribution is the best one, or user support. Don't hesitate to forward this mail to all interested parties. Let's make this mailing list something useful together! -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas(a)lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas(a)nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

Collapse is great for techies (and I appreciate the main audience for the Planet is techies but not the only one) so I've changed it to "Hide" and "Show" > The second suggestion I have, the tool button itself is very tiny.

What I've done is made it a tooltip which is a good compromise I think. -- James Ogley, openSUSE Member: GNOME Team and Planet SUSE. riggwelter(a)opensuse.org http://opensuse.org/GNOME http://planetsuse.org openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Announce: Block feeds in Planet SUSE
by James Ogley 01 Mar '08

01 Mar '08

As of the 12:00GMT update on Planet SUSE today, readers of the web-browser editions (i.e. those who access it directly, not via RSS feeds) will be able to block feeds which do not interest them. The blocked feeds will still be visible in both the blog list and the main body but their content will not be visible - allowing the reading of individual entries that look interesting. I think this functionality in this form is unique to Planet SUSE among the planet sites and, once the template work used has been tidied up, it will be fed upstream to the main Planet project. -- James Ogley, openSUSE Member: GNOME Team and Planet SUSE. riggwelter(a)opensuse.org http://opensuse.org/GNOME http://planetsuse.org openSUSE: Get It, Discover It, Create It at http://www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] How should we inform packagers about new upstream versions?
by Christian Morales Vega 29 Feb '08

29 Feb '08

Sometimes do you find packages in the OBS that are outdated. You never know why, perhaps the packager doesn't knows about the new upstream version and perhaps he knows but is just busy. Up to now when I found such a case I reported it like an "Enhancement" bug in bugzilla. But some packagers think bugzilla isn't the correct place for such a thing. If the packager doesn't knows about the new version he can leave the package outdated for a long time. So would be good that, at some time, if an user finds the problem he reports it. But, how should be reported? There is any feature planned in the OBS to help with this? What other distros do? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Update on the Code of Conduct
by Federico Mena Quintero 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Hi, everyone, Sorry for not sending this out before... I had it sitting forever in my to-do list :) A couple of project meetings ago, we discussed and clarified the proposed Code of Conduct [1]. Thanks to the comments of people, we decided that it was not necessary to have a separate set of rules other than what we have in the Guiding Princples. Also, I was a total idiot and had forgotten about our existing moderation structure; the updated version acknowledges them, and puts the Board only as a last resort way of resolving conflicts. In the end, the Code of Conduct is simply a quote from a paragraph in the Guiding Principles: http://en.opensuse.org/Code_of_Conduct That page means to have links to the relevant sub-guides for each communications medium (mailing lists, IRC, etc.), but I haven't found all of those links. I'd like to ask people to put them in as appropriate; just look for FIXMEs in the page :) Again, thanks to everyone who made this possible, and thanks for the constructive comments.

[opensuse-project] Translating OpenSUSE Weekly News
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Hi Folks, I've send this personally to Francis Giannaros last week but maybe it never reached him for one or any reason. I send this to the opensuse-project list because I think it would be applied to another language. I've seen the openSUSE Weekly News both in English & Germany (I can't read it in Germany but I know it's a similar version with an English :-) ) How if I want to help the openSUSE Weekly News to translated into my mother language, Bahasa Indonesia ? We are here, Indonesian openSUSE community, tried to translated as much as we can. We started the project translation with the latest news and then will try to translating the wiki of openSUSE. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id Email : vavai(a)vavai.com /************************************************************/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] What happened with the texlive update?
by Christian Morales Vega 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

In http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3-test we have texlive-2007-69.4.noarch.rpm with date 12-Dec-2007 that isn't in http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3 . I don't know the policy about movng from update-test to update, but moodle (01-Feb-2008) is already in the official update repository. But the strange thing isn't that texlive-2007-69.4 is not in update. The strange thing is that texlive-2007-69.2 disappeared from update some days ago without any replace. Is this normal? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Getting Local User Groups off the ground
by Kevin Dupuy 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hello everyone. So I've been working on a new project, the openSUSE Local User Groups. The idea is to have local groups of openSUSE to help each other, and help introduce openSUSE to their area. http://en.opensuse.org/Local_User_Groups So what I'd like to do is that I know we do have openSUSE user communities already in some areas, so I'd like to hear from them about this project. Also I definitely want some help with this. What I'd like for this to come to is a place where people can meet face to face, and promote the 11.0 release, get 11.0 release parties organized and other things. Thanks and let's make this awesome! -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy | Public Mail: <kevin(a)kevinsword.com> Hope for America: Ron Paul for President <RonPaul2008.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
