Re: [oi-dev] Contribution: How to install Oracle Database 11 R2 on OpenIndiana

[Michael Kruger]

Hi Franklin,

Rewriting your nicely written article for the Wiki sounds like an awful 
lot of work and you would lose all that pretty (presumably done with 
Latex) formatting.


It would be far easier for me to add a new tab on the OI-DOCS website 
for user contributed articles. Here we can simply add the PDF to the 
OI-DOCS github repository, write a nice little intro summary, and then 
link to the PDF. I've another article on installing a driver which I 
should do this for as well.


In my opinion, quality articles such as yours would be ideal to help 
bring attention to our MKDOCS based documentation site.


Michael

[oi-dev] Volunteer needed to take over the Twitter feed

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hi,
I have managed the Twitter feed:

https://twitter.com/OpenIndiana

in the past months but I will not have time to do so anymore.

We need a volunteer to handle this task, at least for a few weeks/months.
This news feed is important to update people on the activity of the project
and advertise security updates.
Kind regards

Aurélien

Yes we are always happy to welcome new contributors. :)

There are different areas of contribution:
1) Documentation
2) Packaging
3) Development

I wrote a Community page to describe this briefly:
https://www.openindiana.org/community/

Depending on your interests you can contribute in any of these areas.
I have a personal TODO list when it comes to Xorg and compilers (they are
mainly packaging and porting bits), and there are other tasks on the menu
(to be completed):

https://www.openindiana.org/overview/roadmap/

Depending on what is your focus (desktop, server) we can certainly make
suggestions.

When it comes to development in C, I think Alexander had ideas for
improving the Installer, ... there is also better integration of the ZFS
snapshot browser in Caja, better integration of Pulseaudio with the OSS4
implementation found in illumos, resurrecting the package manager GUI
(Python/C) ...
I am also in contact with an Enlightenment developer who is interested in
having better support on illumos. I do not have time to work on it myself
but this is also a possibility.

Feel free to discuss your ideas on the mailing list :)

Kind regards

Aurelien

Hi,

Since your fix is related to illumos-gate I suggest to read

https://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/How+To+Contribute
> http://illumos.org/books/dev/
>
> to get more info about contributing to illumos.

I submitted my first request to integrate very recently and I can confirm
that the steps described on the Wiki cover pretty much everything.

To summarize the steps:

1) Publish a webrev with your changes using the webrev or the review board
[1].

2) Ask for review by sending an email to the illumos developer mailing list
[2], describing the change and how it was tested.

3) When you have at least two reviewers validating the change, send an
email to the advocates mailing list [3]

The email to be sent for RTI has no strict format, so I looked at previous
message in the archives, like the following:

https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/advocates/discussions/Tdf240fa5ca857b39

as described in "5. Submitting A Patch": `git whatchanged`, `git pbchk`,
and the mail_msg file should be provided.

The only thing that could be clarified is that the review board seems the
preferred way to ask for review but its usage is not described much.

Nice that you fixed the memory leak, I noticed it when I tested the
Valgrind update to 3.12 but then forgot about it :S Thanks!
Kind regards

Aurelien

Citát David CARLIER :

Hello all I did my first modest contribution here which despite it s
illumos I did on openindiana ...

https://www.illumos.org/issues/8175

I was wondering if the patch was placed good enough (since I know github PR
are not accepted) or do I really need to send it somewhere for review ?


Since your fix is related to illumos-gate I suggest to read

https://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/How+To+Contribute
http://illumos.org/books/dev/

to get more info about contributing to illumos.


Thanks.

[oi-dev] OI Project

[Cezary Podbilski via oi-dev]

Hello Oi community


I was wondering if you guys are looking for contributors. I have been looking 
for a project to get involved into and I fell in love with Oi ever since I 
learned of it. Who am I? I am no developer as I am only learning C and would 
not dare call myself as one. But I am persistent and committed and I would love 
to get involved in some way, maybe some easy bite-size tasks which would help 
me along with learning C. Or some other way, something that needs addressing?


Let me know your thoughts.



Regards
