The openSUSE Team at SUSE do not maintain openqa.opensuse.org. It is run under Bernhard's coordination with a remarkable effort, by the way.

We have developed some improvements in openQA in close communication with upstream (Bernhard). He is the one that will decides which improvements should be implemented and which don't in the openQA service.

We developed the openQA V2 in the open and improved the installation to make it easier than it was. There is room for improvements though. Meanwhile, the openSUSE Team have a V2 instance internally to test the distro and the improvements done. So what makes SUSE emplyees special to get this privilege?

Priviledge? Anybody can install an openQA V2 instance. We will provide help to those interested in doing so. Another option is to wait until upstream include some/all of the changes we made. You can also work on V2.1

I maintain a whole desktop in openSUSE and openQA has been an very important part of my workflow and I have contributed a bunch of tests suited to my needs. And I simply do not have the resources (i.e. bandwidth) to run an instance of my own. Given that, would you please either mirror the results page to a public server or provide those non-SUSE community members who have a need for it access to the new instance?

We do not touch openqa.opensuse.org so I have no info about why your workflow has changed. Maybe Bernhard is more qualified to provide you with a proper answer about this. Please ping him. Saludos -- Agustin Benito Bethencourt openSUSE Team Lead at SUSE abebe@suse.com
