I made my proposal already and I stand the point: shut down an insecure system! what does "drive forward a solution" mean? Can we integrate the functions of connect.o.o into other services at openSUSE which are allready maintained like the openSUSE wiki? A form for travel support for example? An application for membership could be done by e-mail to an e-mail address of the membership officials. Elections could be done with an eVote software like https://github.com/mdipierro/evote for example, but probably there are better tools. What did I miss? I think Lars is right an we should shutdown this insecure system as soon as possible.

Hi, Christian: > <Fraser_Bell> Thanks. BTW: I would join Heroes and work on the Connect.o.o replacements, if I had any idea what I was doing.

[opensuse-project] huge amount of SPAM on opensuse-connect
by Alex Christoph Bihlmaier 02 Mar '19

02 Mar '19

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 -- ** Jabber thalunil(a)kallisti.at **

[opensuse-project] oSC19 Meeting Week 8
by ddemaio 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hi all, We will have the Week 8 meeting for the openSUSE Conference 2019 tomorrow on Feb. 26 at 18:00 UTC on the opensuse-project channel on freenode IRC. We are in Phase 1 of accepting talks. Speakers have been notified of their accepted talks. Most talks have been confirmed. However, there are currently 6 speakers who have not confirmed their talks. If by March 1, these talks are not confirmed, we will move into Phase 2 for accepting talks. This means that the talks that are not confirmed (currently 6) by March 1 will be withdrawn and the next highest rated talks will be accepted. I have sent each person that has not confirmed their talk a personal email reminding them to confirm their talk by March 1 or that is will be withdrawn. Reminders: There is an event in Nuremberg happening at the same time as oSC19 that will be highly attended by opticians. The optician event was organized after we already had the contracted dates for the location of oSC19. The amount of opticians attending their event may cause the price of the hotel to increase. Please consider booking your hotel for oSC19 ASAP. The prices of hotels in Furth and Erlangen (cities nearby) don't appear to have an increase in price; same with airbnb prices. Below are the meeting notes from previous weeks. v/r Doug Links: Trello board - https://trello.com/b/xhSviOKO Week 1 - https://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proj… Week 2 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proje… Week 3 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proje… Week 4 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proje… Week 5 - https://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2019/opensuse-proj… Week 6 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2019/opensuse-proje… Week 7 - http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2019/opensuse-proje… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Access to a connect platform to test delete spam
by Carlos E. R. 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hello, Heroes team You may know (or not), that opensuse-project mailing list is heavily discussing the shutdown of connect and the replacement by something else. As temporary measure, some of us want to try remove the spam on the <https://connect.opensuse.org/>, while others discuss and try a replacement. We would need some kind of access to the platform. any hint appreciated -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Hi Edwin, On 2/22/19 12:17 PM, medwinz wrote: > > I also volunteer for this. What can i help? > Glad to hear that. So, while the ramblings go on, let's ponder on the course of action. I find that the Nextcloud + Spreadsheet alternative can be a good *temporary* start. However, it does not address some points that Richard raised, like people being able to apply for membership and provide an easy interface for the membership officials to evaluate the application. That being said we could explore existing open source software that address such issues already. I think Admidio [1] and Tendenci [2] are worth investigating. Your thoughts?
