> I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the incredible

> Service, openQA, Snapper, and many others.

> I must also commend you on the exceptional feature of the status website,

> This level of transparency and dedication to user support is truly

> However, as someone who is deeply invested in the openSUSE community, I

> UI/UX design of our forum and main websites. I strongly believe that
> revamping the user experience by giving the entire openSUSE interface a
> modern and refreshing overhaul could open up exciting new possibilities. It
> would breathe new life into the distribution, giving it a contemporary look
> and feel that resonates with users. In this regard, I would like to suggest
> exploring the idea of migrating the project to GitLab for managing the
> UI/UX aspects. This would ensure continuous updates, maintenance, and a
> perpetually fresh and modern appearance. Furthermore, it would provide a
> fantastic opportunity for contributors to actively participate in shaping
> the new vibe of openSUSE.

> To that end, I would like to offer a few specific suggestions:
>
> 1. **Implement a modern and intuitive design**: The future of UX design lies
> in motion design and gestural interfaces. By incorporating visually
> appealing elements, intuitive gestures, and smooth animations, we can
> create a more engaging and user-friendly experience, particularly on mobile
> devices.
>
> 2. **Consider the use of VR and animated logos**: As digital services
> continue to evolve, there is a growing trend towards using Virtual Reality
> (VR) to deliver immersive experiences. Additionally, introducing motion
> designs, such as animated logos, can make a lasting impression and enhance
> brand awareness.
>
> 3. **Experiment with unorthodox designs**: By breaking away from
> conventional design grids and exploring unique layouts, we can make our
> websites truly stand out. Let's dare to be different by experimenting with
> various scrolling techniques and interactive elements that provide visitors
> with a distinctive and memorable user experience.
>
> 4. **Improve usability**: I noticed that some of our websites face usability
> challenges, while others remain static. It would greatly benefit the
> openSUSE community if we focus on enhancing the usability of all our
> websites, ensuring a consistent and user-friendly experience across the
> board.
>
> I want to express my utmost gratitude for your unwavering commitment to
> enhancing people's experience with open source software. Your tireless
> efforts are invaluable to the entire openSUSE community. I genuinely hope
> that these suggestions serve as valuable insights for future updates to our
> websites, and I eagerly look forward to witnessing the positive impact they
> will have.
>
> Thank you for your time and consideration.

> Warm regards,

So, now you're trying to have things your way in this manner. For those not understanding what I'm saying, trying to force admins/mods not to use pride colors, see here: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/message/44Z3OBR4XEI4ZMWEUVDXSOM7IPNOKLGO/
This first on reddit, and when they were banned there, on our mailing lists.
Dude, please don't play with us like this.
