[opensuse-project] Planned Outage To Affect openSUSE Services This Weekend
by ddemaio 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hi all, A quick FYI. A network outage this weekend will effect openSUSE services that have a Direction Connection to Nuremberg host infrastructure on Saturday between the hours of 1 and 6 p.m. UTC. The outage will last about 30 minutes and take place between the above listed hours. The outage effects only external connections due to maintenance in the datacenter. All services will run without any downtime. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Same chameleon.

It's not actually the same, the chameleon logo is different than the SUSE one (it's changed quite a lot over time -- look at the feet and height for instance). It also doesn't include the tagline, and the colour palette is different. (Of course, this is pure pedantry.) All of that being said, I do agree that if all you didn't ask anyone and just looked at the name of the project and logo you might get that impression. And that is something that should be fixed -- with the caveat that badging everything with "this is not a SUSE product" is pretty extreme and not really rational. Someone who is a non-SUSE openSUSE contributor probably wouldn't appreciate having their work stamped with that label because "openSUSE is a confusing name". Not to mention that "this is not a SUSE product" would be an accurate label for *every* project not listed in <https://www.suse.com/products/>. > > But this argument also seems quite odd to me -- every Tom, Dick, and > > Harry uses Bootstrap for their websites but you don't instantly assume > > that every startup is a Twitter product. > > To be honest, I have never even heard of it. If you look at <https://getbootstrap.com/> I guarantee you'll start to notice that a lot of websites use it (and it looks like Twitter -- that's the point). > > The list of products sold by SUSE is available here at > > <https://www.suse.com/products/>. > > OpenSUSE is not sold. So why would it be there? Because if it's not on the list of *products* on the *SUSE* website, how can it be a *SUSE product*? I legitimately don't understand how this particular part is confusing (I understand some of the other confusion, but not this part). -- Aleksa Sarai Senior Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH <https://www.cyphar.com/>
