Brief update
by Per Jessen 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

I will most likely not be able to take part in our meeting tonight, at the very least I will be late. Here is a brief summary from me: I don't think I have really worked on much openSUSE related in February - only minor maintenance stuff and some tickets. * I tried getting the indexing to work on mailman3, Lars allocated some more memory which meant the process ran a lot longer - until it ran out of disk space. When someone has a moment, /dev/vdb on mailman3 could probably do with twice as much space. progress.o.o #88903 * there is a recent ticket from the KDE admin about failing DKIM checks for reports from bugzilla.suse.com - as well as new one about 'suse.com' users being unsubscribed from factory which could be due to DKIM validations failing. I have not yet looked at it in any detail. progress.o.o #89332, #89227 * to amuse myself, I have added some caching (Expires: header) on forum.o.o, to see if caching the most requested static objects would reduce the traffic. Sofar not much effect, not sure why. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.4°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes

Hello, here are the minutes of today's heroes meeting: status reports: * FreeIPA replica set up * does the new version allow _not_ to add itsself to NS records?

Hello, we'll do a hands-on meeting next Tuesday (2021-03-09) at 20:00 CET / 19:00 UTC with the goal to switch the firewall on scar.i.o.o from SUSEfirewall2 to nftables.

What is this?
by Carlos E. R. 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I got the email included below out of the blue. I don't know what it is, who sends it to me direct (not to a list), or why. I don't understand, either, what it is talking about. Etherpad? What is that? It says: List-Id: <redmine.opensuse.org> but there are no unsubscribe headers. No "To:" header either. I don't remember having subscribed to it, and it doesn't come from the openSUSE mail list server. It also says to write to admin(a)opensuse.org for more info - but that address is for opening tickets. An email to that will open a new ticket. What gives? - -- Baffled, Carlos E. R.

To get some impressions about the usage of our Etherpad instance, we also enabled the [ether-o-meter](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ep_ether-o-meter) plugin now, which is now producing some nice live graphs and statistics here: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/metrics We also enabled some additional styles now and hope this makes the usage of Etherpad even more fun and productive for you.

Email archives and the GDPR
by Per Jessen 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

Because I am a little fed up with these dreary GDPR requests for removing stuff from our list archives (which is not easy), I took a closer look at the GDPR wrt email archiving. Take a look at chapter 2, article 5, section 1, paragraph (b) of the GDPR: -------------------- Personal data shall be: - processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’); collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes; further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes shall, in accordance with Article 89(1), not be considered to be incompatible with the initial purposes (‘purpose limitation’); ------------------------ In my layman's view, our mailing list archives are in full compliance with the above, specifically the last sentence beginning "further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest ..." I don't know if we have an issue of "pseudonymisation" for "data minimisation" purposes, which I guess could mean replacing a name with "GDPR redacted". I just have trouble seeing how my name in a text is an example of keeping my "personal data". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
