Hello dear fellow opensuse-enthusiasts!
I am wondering about openSUSE connect - there is a huge amount of spam on it and it really is not a shiny & bright representation of the openSUSE project.
Who is in charge of it? I think we should deal with it.
cheers Alex
Nobody is willing to take charge of it: Short answer, complaints are made -- especially on the mailing lists -- but nobody will step up to do the job. It has long been known that the openSUSE Board and other overworked Contributors have agreed that Connect should be closed, but there is a catch: The only system for managing the openSUSE Membership and the list of openSUSE Members is Connect. A replacement setup needs to be created, not on Connect, and without the Social Media notion. It will require a secure database of the Members, so it can be checked for who qualifies for voting privileges, for example, plus a way for Contributors to apply for Membership, and a way for those who are permitted to check Memberships to be able to do so. Until someone steps up to take on that task, we are stuck with it the way it is. -- -Gerry Makaro openSUSE Board Elections Committee (election-officials **at** openSUSE.org) openSUSE Member openSUSE Global Moderator openSUSE Contributor YaST 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@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
