[opensuse-project] membership policy
by jdd 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

Hello, I'm in the way of trying to makes more live the membership process. This mail should have been sent to the "membership_official" list only, but most of his members are probably also on -projet, and this number is not now large enough to have a normal functioning. normally, we should accept or decline a submission if it reach *4* votes in the good direction. Problem is some submissions are pretty old and I think very bad to have people waiting an answer. two kind of people do not give any problem: * ones having no contribution at all and not listing any or asking to make contributions in the future. I think these submission should be declined by the first member of the team that sees them, with a kind message (anyway all the submission results a e-mailed on the m_o list, so anybody knows) * some peoples have a large contribution (like people making the OSC-15 happen) and could be accepted may be with only two positive advices. Should be on this category people who's contribution is confirmed by one of the team, even if it's not too much visible on the net (I think for example Nicolas that held the openSUSE booth during a hole week at RMLL!!) for the people having some plus and some minus, the m_o list is there for discussion. What do you think? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Leap 42.1 - consistent naming
by Jay 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Now that the first milestone for Leap 42.1 is imminent (or is it out already?) I'd like to suggest that we no longer use just "42" as a name (not even for download-links) but "Leap 42.1" or "Leap" in order to penetrate the name early and consistently. Otherwise me might end up with two competing names (= confusion). The project-page should be updated accordingly, too. BTW: - Is it "official" now that Leap 42.1 uses the 4.1-LTS-kernel? I've read that somewhere. - And has a decision been made already with respect to support-time: 3 or x years? Greetings!

[opensuse-project] Windows 10: A window of opportunity
by Jay 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

As Windows 10 is being launched, details emerge what comes along with it. Just read (1). You will have an opinion on that. But as nightmarish as this may seem, it also opens a huge "Window" of opportunity for openSUSE and OpenSource in general. What came to my mind here is a campaign to make potential users aware of major benefits of openSUSE / OpenSource: - we don't spy on you - we don't sell your privacy - we don't handcuff you Take that as a short sketch. This could be a campaign just for openSUSE - like a banner on openSUSE.org - or one that is conducted by and coordinated between the major distros and perhaps other organizations. Thoughts?

[opensuse-project] http://mirrors.kernel.org/ and http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=opensuse incorrectly describe openSUSE
by Felix Miata 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

1-openSUSE is not OpenSUSE 2-"Novell's "community project" Linux distribution" seems to be an obsolete description, but what description should replace it? 3-How best to see that corrections get made? Looks like maybe webmaster(a)linuxfoundation.org and distro(a)distrowatch.com need to be contacted by a project leader. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

What is the openSUSE policy with regard to Gmane.com? Does openSUSE.org automatically subscribe Gmane.com to a new mailing list? Does openSUSE.org provide archive files for storage on Gmane.com? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Leap: Graphic design
by Jay 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

In my experience it takes time to develop a good graphic design (here: log-in screen / default wallpaper). So just in case this has not been done already, briefing the designers now would not be wrong. There's enough information available now to give them an idea of what Leap is about. That way they would have enough time to come up with a good draft. And a better one if the first one goes up in flames. ;) Rainer Fiebig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Implementing SLED-type graphics for the installer for openSUSE 42.1
by Roman Bysh 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody, I found the SLED type graphics for the installer quite pleasing in earlier versions of openSUSE. Has anyone considered reintroducing it for openSUSE 42.1? It would look very nice together with some fresh graphics. Cheers!
