[opensuse-project] How to contribute into OpenSUSE News
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi all, Just want to ask about "How to contribute into OpenSUSE News" (http://news.opensuse.org) ? As I read in this link : http://news.opensuse.org/?page_id=7, I must submit the stories to the editor (news-submit(a)opensuse.org) I've submitted the story last week but there is no response or rejecting email . Is this related to the "voting note" as mentioned in every post in OpenSUSE news that means my story could not be accepted due to the voting ? I think it would be nice if the submitter get the response, accepted or no about the story. -- 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

New Action Items: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - none - Work in progress: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #267437 - @opensuse.org mail addresses The board has discussed some options and waits for some technical issues to be solved. Also delayed by AJ's vacation. The procedere who can get is still discussed, currently the plan is that the board decides who can get an @opensuse.org address. #223290 - better wishlist handling using FATE Everybody agreed in using FATE. #229213 - clarify bugzilla usage for packages in build service (ETA: November) blocked by not-so-responsive bugzilla team, AdrianS will try a classic telephone call. He will also try to create a forge mailinglist which is needed for the bugzilla component. The name of the mailinglist will be "community-screening" #173961 - openSUSE merchandising The EMEA/Asia shop will go live shop tomorrow (http://shop.opensuse.org) US shop will follow soon (this month). The announcement will be sent when all shops are online. See also the status mail ("shop.openSUSE.org - status update") in opensuse-project today. AIs without news: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #164761 - built service trust/rating system Blocked (no time and resources - ETA 2008) #343444 - bugzilla wizard to qualify bugreports no news #238355 - status of cn wiki no news - vacation notlocalhorst #238350 - unmaintained wikis (is, es, vi) no news - vacation notlocalhorst (.vi has an "unmaintained" warning, the other two should have new maintainers.

Oh, and Adrian also added a little fix to the Apache filetype config - you can now access index.html.it directly without having it offered for download. Question: Do we need a language switcher dropdown on help.opensuse.org? #328611 - Try out wishlist handling / feature tracking in the wiki Closed as duplicate of #223290 (better wishlist handling using FATE) after deciding to use FATE.

Please reply directly to the mailing list so that others can offer information as well. I do not think we send out DVD copies, but someone else here might know better. I do know that sometimes the community goes to conferences and events and hand out copies of DVDs that they have created themselves. Perhaps someone here can mention when there is an event coming to your area soon. -- ---Bryen--- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Weekly News
by Francis Giannaros 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi, I didn't think we could avoid having something like a weekly newsletter for much longer, so I've put together some stuff for the first one over at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE_Weekly_News/1 I'm hoping to publish it this Wednesday with a news.o.o post. How you can help! = Feedback. = I'd really appreciate any feedback on the newsletter. What you think will work/won't work. Suggestions, etc. = Help contributing to sections = * "Tips and Tricks" could be a nice section, but I can't think of anything to have in it for this week. * In the Press. Seen any decent stories about openSUSE in the press lately? Please add them th ere. * Forum news. I'd really like to get updates on the communities in the fora, so if you think you can help with this please let me know! * Help writing the next one :-) Note that the point of the weekly newsletter is to not undermine or lessen the amount of stories that we get on news.o.o. I think the amount we get there is great. The point is to cover all the extra details and have a single weekly digest for all extra things in-and-around openSUSE.

[opensuse-project] Status Action Items
by Christian Boltz 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Hello, here's the status of Action Items after this week's meeting. New Action Items: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #343444 - bugzilla wizard to qualify bugreports There are several not-so-good bugreports (something like "my computer doesn't work" - OK, this is exaggerated ;-) and the developers have to "waste" their time with asking for details and logs. The idea is to create a wizard (like kde.org does) for people new to bugreporting that guides them through the process, searches for duplicates, maybe it could even force to attach y2logs when reporting YaST bugs etc. Klaas got the AI to check if and how this is possible. Note that this wizard would be an alternative to the current bug reporting page, not a replacement. Work in progress: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #173 961 - openSUSE merchandising rlihm and coolo set up a shop @spreadshirt and are in the process of getting approval on the design by Novell's corporate marketing (ETA 2007-12-10) Coolo ordered the first test shirts. For those who want to see the beta ;-) shop: http://openshop.spreadshirt.net/en/DE/Shop (URL might change) #223290 - better wishlist handling using FATE klaas finally did a short presentation on fate in the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Proposals/openFate For comparison: the wiki way from Francis http://en.opensuse.org/Feature_Plan AI Coolo to start a discussion about what to use. #328611 - Try out wishlist handling / feature tracking in the wiki Basically a duplicate of #223290 (better wishlist handling). Some feedback from the GNOME team how it worked out would be interesting. See also http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/FeaturePlanning for pros and cons of different methods. #238350 - unmaintained wikis (is, es, vi) Only vi is in bad shape and there is a banner on the frontpage. is and es are maintained again. #238355 - status of cn wiki Notlocalhorst is working on it, should be ready next week #267437 - community comitee, @opensuse.org mail addresses etc. As you (should) know, the community comitee (aka board) was announced. Therefore the summary of this AI changed to #267437 - @opensuse.org mail addresses Mail addresses are still not available #339796 - graphical headline on help.opensuse.org rlihm is working on it (english is done, other languages will follow the next days) AIs without news: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #229213 - clarify bugzilla usage for packages in build service (ETA: November) AdrianS didn't attend the meeting. #164761 - built service trust/rating system Blocked (no time and resources ETA 2008) #293726 - Creation of Babel wiki Blocked (No time) Things that were done: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # - add something about sustainability to the translation howto While discussing about unmaintained wikis and how to avoid it, it was proposed to add a note that wiki translation is not a one-time job etc. to the translation howto. Martin did this instantly, therefore no bugzilla :-) #328613 - Prepare explanation of Fate features and processses in the wiki Klaas finally did a short presentation on fate in the wiki http://en.opensuse.org/Proposals/openFate - thanks! #328622 - help.opensuse.org translations help.opensuse.org is now translated into lots of languages. Thanks to everybody who helped with this! (If your language is missing, feel free to reopen the AI and attach it. Or contact AdrianS for a SVN account ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Lass es mich so sagen: GUIs? Wir haben keine. Davon aber zwei.
