Hello openSUSE! The openSUSE Release team has over time received quite some requests to provide regular refreshes of install media. Some of these 15.X requests date back to the 15.2 development cycle. The most recent request* is from openSUSE Board on behalf of DocB. The idea is to incorporate released updates into "refreshed" install images. Having Quarterly Update (QU) setup* done early and doing this regularly will ensure that we will react timely to various issues affecting bootable media. **Identification** Images will have 15.3-N in the filename to distinguish from the original GA images. N is the incremental number currently set to 2. **QU Schedule and Availability** Leap 15.3 Quarterly Update 1 File (*15.3-2*) are already available at download-o-o and is ready to be mirrored. See our roadmap* for more information about the schedule. get.opensuse.org uses -Current symlinks which already point a the 15.3- 2 content. The idea is that the user would always download the latest openSUSE Leap 15.X image available to the date. I'd like to also inform the community that a request to provide a self- update repository for the installer in 15.4 was declined on a regular feature review meeting, as we believe that the QU approach provides a sufficient way to regularly update the installer in openSUSE Leap.

05 Nov '21

Hi all, We have two community meetings this week. The time for the meetings have shifted due to daylight savings. Meeting 1 is today (on Tuesdays) at 14:30 UTC (60 minutes). Meeting 1 doesn't have a specific topic this week. Meeting 2 is on Thursdays at 19:00 UTC. Meeting 2 will focus more on marketing as this was agreed upon as the topic that will be discussed at every first Thursday meeting of the month. Regular community meetings are an option to create change for the project and we encourage members to attend. Meetings take place on https://meet.opensuse.org/meeting and notes are available at https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting
