Nevertheless, I found some small bugs ;-) In the first paragraph, I'd mention Provo to avoid that the admins in Nürnberg, including you, also get blamed by people who don't read the full article. Second paragraph: ... and we_'d_ like to share some of the results here to inform everyone ____ and actively ask for help. (we -> we'd, and drop "about the results" because that repeats the first half of the sentence) If you first want to know more about the status, read on… Meeting minutes openSUSE Heroes, 2016-06-26 Participants: cboltz, orangecms, adalovelace, ganglia, wnereiz, mcaj, lrupp looks a bit too formal and might scare away readers. What about If you first want to know more about the status, read on what the openSUSE Heroes discussed in their first meeting on 2016-06-26 (Participants: cboltz, orangecms, adalovelace, ganglia, wnereiz, mcaj, lrupp) The "Topics:" overview looks superfluous to me - this is a blog post, not a book ;-) In the "lrupp offered the following" section, you should add a bullet point saying The new hardware will be hosted in the Provo data center because we have rack space and bandwidth available there. In the last item in the "Provo" section: a long term goal is to make the english openSUSE wiki usable as “commons” ___, so ... (drop the first "again" because we never had a "commons" before) Also, the headlines need some change. The easiest way is probably: - change "1. Provo" to "Current situation" or "Current situation with Provo admins" (something like that as long as it isn't only "Provo") - add another headline above "So the team wants". That headline could be "Plans, tasks and solutions" - the "Organization and Communication" headline looks good (but I'd drop the number in front of it) Oh, and you should include a direct link to the "Provo" project on progress.o.o. The tickets there are public and a nice way to show what we are doing and where help is welcome. > ...and yes: someone with more design talent can sent me an updated > heroes logo at any time ;-) Your design talent looks better than mine ;-) - but I noticed some slightly wrong green left of the geeko head. It looks like you painted over something with the wrong color. Can you send me the picture in the original format (I'd guess GIMP xcf)? I can make it scalable (by converting it to SVG) so that we can use it everywhere without loosing quality. I also tend to use the Fifth Leg font [1] instead of a "normal" sans serif, but that's something we can easily change once it is a SVG. (If you insist on keeping the font, please also tell me which font you used ;-) I won't object if someone comes up with a better logo, but until then, I want to have a bug-free version of Lars' logo ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] that's the font we use in the openSUSE logo -- It's too bad that the universities don't have the ability to teach common sense. :-) [Ken Schneider in opensuse-factory] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org

Fixed, thanks for spotting it! Glad to see that people review the changes :) By the way, let's use the heroes mailing list for such mails in the future, as this is exactly the purpose of that ml Theo

What we can't give is access to the SUSE MX server, but even there some configs are in git and we're willing to open more. > But if your team wants to take over and organize this differently and change > this, be my guest. Do you want to? Sure, I'm willing to help on the technical part but I don't want to be alone there, I'd appreciate if somebody from the community would step up to help as well :) I'm not interested on the social part though Theo

Regarding the ml admin, we can split the work into two parts, the social and the technical part. So a "social ml admin" can be pretty much everyone, without even any technical background. Regarding the "technical ml admin", I had a discussion about it today with my team, and it seems the need to be a SUSE employee is not needed any more. There are plenty of parts that are public, there are parts that can become public, and there are parts that will need to remain private. Thus, if a non-SUSE employee wants to help on this, is more than welcome and we'll be willing to collaborate to make more parts of this service public. Theo
