[opensuse-web] New ADC in Provo
by Matthew Ehle 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

I have been working on installing and configuring a new application delivery controller for Provo. We are now ready for some testing and would like your help. To test the new load balancer for those sites, you can add the following entries to your hosts file (/etc/hosts in *nix and C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in Windows): 130.57.66.2 login.novell.com 130.57.66.3 esp.novell.com 130.57.66.6 www.opensuse.org en.opensuse.org de.opensuse.org forums.opensuse.org news.opensuse.org lizards.opensuse.org I only included two of the wikis, but you can add your favorite wiki(s) to the last line. After you save your hosts file entries, just use the sites as you normally would. When we are ready to cut over, these are the addresses we will be using. Here are some of the fixes and features that we will get with this new load balancer: Some people have reported TCP level connection issues which shows as a page "spinning" indefinitely, often needing a refresh to make it load. So far, those who have tested through the new load balancer have reported the issue as being resolved. IPv6 redundancy (the current IPv6 setup is not HA) HTTPS support TLS 1.2, hardware encryption, TLS session reuse, false start support Later, I will add logic to enforce SSL for authenticated users to prevent session hijacking SYN cookies and other DDoS mitigations Connection multiplexing, which reduces demand on the web servers We are also investigating future enhancements, such as SPDY and application firewalls. Thank you all for your support, and happy testing! -Matt

[opensuse-web] Results of the landing page BoF
by Henne Vogelsang 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hey, here are the results of the landing page BoF we just held at osc12. Participants were Christian, Tom, Gábor and me. We compared our own landing page (www.opensuse.org) with a lot of "competitors" pages, talked about the content we would like to see on it and came up with a first idea of what and how. I took some notes on https://trello.com/board/landing-page/50850ac9fe4ddd101b003b04 The next step is comming up with a first prototype and agree on which technology to use. Everybody is more than welcome to help :-) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang http://www.opensuse.org Everybody has a plan, until they get hit. - Mike Tyson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] Resources for Novell login?
by Marguerite Su 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Hi, guys. I'm working on theming question2answer, which is basically a Q&A application (http://question2answer.org) that is translation/plugin/theme ready. It's developed using php & mysql instead of ruby on rails that stackoverflow and ask.ubuntu.com use. It means everyone interested can join development without any limits, eg, to learn rails. I was about to add translations to OBS, oh my, I'm still learning rails half a year later. I'm coding here: https://github.com/marguerite/help.o.o (welcome to fork!) I hope one day we can make help.o.o no longer a static page. that's the background. (I didn't promise that I can finish it alone in a timely manner...I just code when I want to) So here I need some resources which I can refer to integrate Novell account. I know there're some in the internet, like news/lizards.o.o and wiki. but they're either no source code or mask the post-method destination(seems, because I didn't find such things on gitorious and github). So can someone give more hints? In short...I need some API doc...

[opensuse-web] Conference: BoF about openSUSE.org infrastructure (including wiki)
by Christian Boltz 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Hello, as discussed before, I scheduled a BoF at the conference (Monday 12:00-13:00). The wiki will be one of the topics, but not the only one. Today's project meeting showed that more areas of our infrastructure need some discussion (responsiveness of admin@, planet.o.o, wiki, CSS etc.) Therefore I named the BoF "admin@ - technical issues/discussion about opensuse.org infrastructure" I don't have a fixed list of topics for the BoF - we'll see which areas are the most important to discuss. If we need some more time, I'm sure we'll find a place to continue even if we have to leave the room ;-) Note that there's a separate BoF about the www.o.o landing page with Henne an hour before (11:00-12:00) Regards, Christian Boltz -- ist eine recht interessante rechnung: 3,5kg linux + bücher für €79,90 180g windows xp home ohne bücher €229,- kennt jemand den feinunzenpreis von gold? er müßte kanpp unter dem von windows liegen ....

[opensuse-web] Deletion request fort DFIR article on the wiki.
by Rajko 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

http://en.opensuse.org/DFIR_-_Audit_Tools It is not wiki contributing editor fault to have problems deciphering our structure that requires hours of study before anything can be written. Current structure is not a low threshold for potential contributors, nor for new wiki editors. DFIR can look better, but it is up to wiki team to give advice, and help editing. Wiki maintainers have to find time for easy and educational approach. Deletion request for article that was obviously created with limited knowledge of wiki editing is far from that. In particular Greg is one of people that are trying to help openSUSE with his expertise in Digital forensics and incident response (DFIR), which can attract more experts from that field to openSUSE and most likely SUSE. They will find article, even in its rudimentary form as useful. This another article he wrote: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Digital_forensics_and_incident_response Obviously it needs rework, ie. to put some content in other articles, but curretly abused openSUSE namespace is probably not right answer for such articles. SDB, probably, not too. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] openSUSE wiki - status 2012-10
by Rajko 07 Oct '12

07 Oct '12

After some 2.5 years in production it would be time to review wiki status and what we achieved with reconstruction. It is possible to Problem is that wiki does not offer time based statistical overview, so short post to web mail list should offer this kind of time line. __________________________________________________________________ Page statistics: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Content pages 1,770 Pages [1] 6,954 Uploaded files 2,359 __________________________________________________________________ Edit statistics: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Page edits since set up 53,731 Average edits per page 7.73 __________________________________________________________________ User statistics ------------------------------------------------------------------ Registered users 15,875 Active users [2] 128 Bots 0 Administrators 33 Bureaucrats 11 Editors 46 Reviewers 44 __________________________________________________________________ View statistics ------------------------------------------------------------------ Views total [3] 31,615,500 Views per edit 588.40 __________________________________________________________________ Most viewed pages ------------------------------------------------------------------ Main Page 2,799,721 Portal:Distribution 955,834 SDB:Live USB stick 903,989 Package repositories 808,147 Additional package repositories 804,647 Derivatives 786,872 Portal:12.1 453,791 SDB:Download help 422,775 openSUSE:Roadmap 391,187 Portal:Documentation 347,277 More at: http://en.opensuse.org/Special:PopularPages _________________________________________________________________ [1] All pages in the wiki, including talk pages, redirects, etc. [2] Users who have performed an action in the last 30 days.
