The Icecast project is part of the Xiph.org foundation.
We publish among other things the Icecast multimedia streaming server, libSHOUT
and IceS.

To offer our users the option of obtaining ready to use binary and source
packages we started using the openSUSE OBS instance two years ago. Currently
the official icecast.org packages for the Icecast server are located in
"home:dm8tbr". This is not ideal, as it is my private home project and confuses
end users.

Thus we'd like to kindly request a project outside the home: namespace. I
couldn't find a documentation of openSUSE OBS namespaces, but it was suggested
on IRC that "isv:" might be suitable. Note though, that we are not an
commercial ISV, we're just an open source project.

Note: We don't maintain the openSUSE packaging of Icecast project software
packages, but if there is interest, we'd be happy to collaborate. We're already
reusing most of the openSUSE RPM spec in our Icecast server package.

If a project outside "home:" is not possible, then we might set up our own OBS.
If that should be necessary, please advise about the correct way to interface
with openSUSE OBS, as last time I did maintain an OBS instance it was OBS-links
and not very reliable.
