Hi all, This is the first year that I've done this so please excuse the ignorance. I submitted a conference proposal back in January but I never heard anything back. When will we be notified if our proposal is approved, rejected, etc.? Thanks, Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Intention to run for board
by Fraser_Bell 10 Mar '18

10 Mar '18

Hello, fellow openSUSE enthusiasts: After some gentle prodding from one of my friends, and encouragement from another, I have decided to run for election to the Board. I am a long time openSUSE enthusiast and, in my world, find it is the best OS going. This is not to say that I do not respect other distros. On the contrary, I respect most other Operating Systems and think they all have a beneficial purpose. But, for me, and the many things I do, openSUSE fits me the best. It has been -- and is -- powerfull, robust, and mostly solid as a rock. Along with that, it has one of the best Communities I have ever dealt with: Great group of Users, new and long-time; The best Forum on the planet, in my opinion, friendly and supportive to veterans and newcomers alike; Super Developers who deliver mostly painless operation; and an overall Great Mindset. I am a firm believer in the openSUSE Guiding Principles: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Guiding_principles I refer back to it every now and then, because I think it expresses an ideal that is worth Striving for and Upholding, an ideal that helps make openSUSE the inclusive and robust Operating System that it is. And, I especially like helping people. I value the input and point of view of the Users, whether new or veteran, and I value the amazing depth and breadth of the Technical Knowledge and all-inclusive Wisdom among the many impressive people I have been interacting with in the openSUSE Community. Everyone's thoughts and opinions are valuable in deciding the direction of the OS and the Community. I realize I am up against some very stiff and Fully Qualified competition, but if I do manage to gain a seat on the Board, I would be humbly Honoured to have the privilege to serve the Community. I promise, if so elected, that I would look seriously at any ideas or concerns brought forward by any of the members of the openSUSE Community with a fully open mind. To be part of the direction of such a praiseworthy Community would be an exhilarating experience, one of the highlights of my life. I am open to any questions, concerns, or suggestions. If you have any, you will find me on the openSUSE Forums as Fraser_Bell, in multiple IRCs, the mailing lists, and direct e-mail. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely: -- -Gerry Makaro openSUSE Member openSUSE Forum Moderator openSUSE Contributor aka Fraser_Bell on the Forums, OBS, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org Fraser-Bell on Github -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Intention to run for board.
by Simon Lees 09 Mar '18

Hi All, For those of you who don't know me my name is Simon Lees and I am announcing my intention to run for the board. About me: As you can guess from my email address I now work for SUSE, I have done so for 2 years but I have been involved in the openSUSE community for around 7 years, mostly packaging the enlightenment desktop and a few other things. I am also part of the factory review team and have contributed to a bunch of other areas including patterns etc. Vision for the project: The reasons I started using openSUSE were 1. It treated all software particularly desktops equally, 2. The reasons I started contributing to openSUSE 7ish years back were 1. basically any contribution is welcome and 2. contributing is easy. I don't have any radical new plans for the vision of the project I think its in a really good place, mostly I just want to keep helping to make the reasons I joined the project reasons for other people to join and keep working on the project. Why Vote for me: * When I see something that needs fixing i'll probably just go and fix it. * I have decent people skills and am reasonably good at helping people work through problems. * I have a good technical understanding of may parts of the project. I might have a bit more to say in coming weeks, but if you have questions feel free to bug me via email or as simotek on the freenode irc network.
