We do have a community server paid for by several people which hosts planet suse, software portal, webpin and other things. Unfortunately these things have to be organised informally, since there is no openSUSE organisation or even a ringfenced openSUSE fund that people can contribute to towards hosting costs etc.
Nod. We discussed this a bit on #opensuse-gnome. The lack of legal entity for openSUSE makes things difficult for funding. A good solution that I'd like the board to consider is to have the project join something like the Software Freedom Conservancy [1] or SPI [2]. [1] http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/ [2] http://www.spi-inc.org/
Another problem is that the opensuse.org domain is controlled by Novell not the openSUSE project, so we can't use it for things like planet suse, software portal, community wiki et al without Novell endorsing the content therein, which we've been told is not possible for things that might link to patent infringing software for instance.
So, hrm, how can we change this? :-) I guess we can't change this easily in the short term, but does it make sense in the long term to have the opensuse.org domain controlled by, say, the board?
