[opensuse-project] oSC19 Meeting Week 7
by ddemaio 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Hi all, We will have the Week 7 meeting for the openSUSE Conference 2019 tomorrow on Feb. 12 at 18:00 UTC on the opensuse-project channel on freenode IRC. The Call for Papers closed last week and now we are going through the process of reviewing the talks. Reminders: There is an event in Nuremberg happening at the same time as oSC19 that will be highly attended by opticians. The optician event was organized after we already had the contracted dates for the location of oSC19. The amount of opticians attending their event may cause the price of the hotel to increase. Please consider booking your hotel for oSC19 ASAP. The prices of hotels in Furth and Erlangen (cities nearby) don't appear to have an increase in price; same with airbnb prices. Below are the meeting notes from previous weeks. v/r Doug Links: Trello board - https://trello.com/b/xhSviOKO Week 1 - https://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proj… Week 2 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proje… Week 3 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proje… Week 4 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proje… Week 5 - https://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2019/opensuse-proj… Week 6 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2019/opensuse-proje… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE not participating in GSoC
by Ana Martínez 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Hi, We would like to let you know that due to the lack of mentors and org admins, openSUSE won't participate in Google Summer of Code (GSoC)[1] this year. In the last time, some people have claimed that participating in GSoC is not worthwhile and that we don't get anything out of it. We strongly disagree with this statement. Many motivated students have got to know and joined openSUSE thanks to GSoC (such as both of us). In our view, mentoring is one of the most important parts of an open source project. Welcoming new contributors and investing some of our free time to help them makes openSUSE much more than just some software, whose code is available online. It is not only about hacking and the number of students that stay in our community, but also about sharing our culture of working openly and creating awareness of the open source movement in the next generation of developers. GSoC gives us the chance to reach students all around the world that most likely wouldn't hear about openSUSE in another way. In addition, it allows students to work full time in open source projects by supporting them economically. Because of that, we hope to see openSUSE again in GSoC. This is the work that have been done in the last years and that may be useful in case someone wants to bring openSUSE to GSoC in the future: - Mentoring page[2] - Mentoring page code[3] - Application[4] - Blog posts in news.opensuse.org[5] - Twitter mentoring account[6] Lastly, we would like to thank again all our passionate mentors and org admins and everybody else who made possible that openSUSE participated in GSoC.

The contact mail used by this account is very rarely used and I just noticed I never setup this mail after my last server move. so I may have missed the mail (the setup is now done), is it possible to have it sent again? thanks jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
