by Martin Lasarsch 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi another event mail ... Some of the openSUSE team will be at CeBIT 2008, the world biggest computer exhibition (i hope it's still true). We will be on the Novell booth, this time Hall 2 with 2 Demopoints. This is another chance to meet some openSUSE guys, but also to learn more about what else Novell is doing, there are lot of interesting presentations every day. We also have openSUSE presentations on Saturday and Sunday, both at the Novell booth and in the Linuxpark (Hall 5). So if you are in Hannover next week, don't miss openSUSE! This is also a rare chance to see me in a suit :-) http://www.cebit.de/ -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch(a)suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-announce] Unassigned bugreports
by Magnus Boman 23 Feb '08

23 Feb '08

Hello! I just did a quick bugzilla query of all unassigned GNOME bug reports and found 270 of them. Some of these reports are very old, and some are new, but instinct tells me that unless someone keeps going through these reports over and over, they might fall between the chairs. I'd like to suggest that we all have a look at http://tinyurl.com/2c8ksy and assign bugs as appropriate. By having all bugs assigned, at least we have someone in charge. To find out who could be assigned to certain bugs, have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Directory. I would hope that if someone gets a bug assigned to them and it's not their cup of tea, they might be able to figure out who the proper person would be, or simply assign it back to bnc-team-gnome(a)forge.provo.novell.com. If someone objects to this, please let me know. Meanwhile (ie, while people object) I'd appreciate if you could all start working on this :-) Thanks, Magnus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org
