[opensuse-project] Election Committee Set to Open Vote on Project Name
by Ish Sookun 16 Oct '19

16 Oct '19

Dear members, Following discussions about the “openSUSE Project logo & name change” that started in June on the openSUSE Project mailing list [1], the Election Committee received a request from the Board to conduct a vote whereby openSUSE members can indicate whether they are for or against the project name change. The voting will start on Oct 10 and end on Oct 31, which will provide three weeks for members to vote. The result will be announced on Nov 1. The voting exercise is limited to openSUSE members only. The voting procedure will be similar to the board elections. Members will receive a voting link on their membership email alias, i.e @opensuse.org. Members should verify that their openSUSE email alias is working and redirecting to the correct email address. If you experience troubles with your email alias, please email admin(a)opensuse.org to resolve the issue. Members who wish to change the target address of their email alias can do so by sending the change request to admin(a)opensuse.org. Those who wish to become an openSUSE member they can apply for membership by following the instructions specified on the openSUSE Wiki page [2]. The Election Committee can be reached through election-officials(a)opensuse.org.

[opensuse-project] doc.opensuse.org
by Jason Evans 15 Oct '19

15 Oct '19

Hi all, I've been trying to catch up on this thread but it's getting a bit unwieldy. So, I want to ask a question. Currently doc.opensuse.org only contains SUSE contributed work. What needs to happen for a dedicated section to be added for user contributed work? I don't think the answer should automatically be, "put it in the wiki". The wiki is fantastic for some things but it is also chaotic and some things are hard to find. I think it would be best if we had a dedicated set of user contributed docs that can be edited in asciidoc. The source code would live in github and then regularly updated with daps to update the online versions of the docs. There really is no reason to write any user contributed docs in docbook unless someone really really wants to learn it. (see https://opensuse.github.io/daps/doc/daps-asciidoc.html). Jason

[opensuse-project] openSUSE documentation
by Ish Sookun 11 Oct '19

11 Oct '19

Folks, During the openSUSE Asia Summit's community meeting we discussed things that should be & can be done. One of those was about the openSUSE documentation. I checked doc.opensuse.org. I notice that all the documentation are currently copyrighted [1] by SUSE. Although the docs are granted GNU Free Documentation License it sounds proper to have the content ownership under openSUSE. Such a thing should not wait for the creation of a foundation. It also appears that the documentation workload is currently on the shoulders of the SUSE documentation team (only). I would like to help, more specifically collaborating with Kubic/MicroOS team to have a Container documentation. How should I proceed?

There is already a #docs channel on openSUSE's Discord group adding the others wouldn't be hard. I'd also be happy to help, probably less from a writing documentation side and more on the everything else that needs to go with it. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-project] Changing the Chair of the Board

> After six years on the openSUSE Board and five as its Chairperson, I have decided to step down as Chair of the openSUSE Board effective today, August 19. Richard, thank you so much for everything you've done for the openSUSE project(s), the community, the people (incl. sense of humour and really stretched jokes like well the... brexit one :)), and for SUSE too. You'll be deeply missed in your chair role, even though still involved and contributing from a variety of angles. > Gerald has been a regular source of advice & support during my tenure as Chairperson. In particular, I will always remember my first visit to FOSDEM as openSUSE Chair. Let's see how Gerald will dress up now, for his first live appearance as chair :) Really happy and excited that Gerald has accepted the challenge and together with the board, the community and SUSE folks, looking forward to keeping the good collaboration between openSUSE and SUSE and also to bringing improvements as much as we can. Best, ThomasN��r��y隊Z)z{.��k�7��맲��r��z�^�ˬz��N�(�֜��^� ޭ隊Z)z{.��k�7��0��Ǩ�
