13th conference FOSSCOMM 2020
November 21–22, 2020
The University of Western Macedonia, Kastoria
The Free and Open Source Software Communities Meeting or otherwise
FOSSCOMM aims at all Free and Open Source Software enthusiasts,
regardless of the knowledge level that they own at this field. From
the first conference held in 2008 at the National Technical University
of Athens until today, the conference’s aspiration is to showcase the
usefulness and the necessity of using Free and Open Source Software
and to point out new trends in it thus attracting new members to the
communities, aiming at the contribution of more and more free software
for all.
Due to the recent health crisis because of COVID-19, this year’s
FOSSCOMM 2020, will take place via Web and will be organizationally
supported by the IEEE Student Branch of the University of Western
Macedonia.
The organizational committee of the conference invites all interested
parties to submit their proposals, talk or laboratory presentation, in
the Greek or English language at

Hi all,
I was approached by a few people about a recently published article (1)
on news.o.o with regard to people publishing articles on it. Those who
were concerned felt that news.o.o. was not a place where people should
be posting articles about non-official packages and "random home repos"
(2). The thought was that it wasn't a good idea for several reasons, but
if someone did want to promote packages, it should be packages that pass
QA, license reviews and are accepted into the official repo.
The author updated the article after this topic was brought to his
attention, which now includes "As a member of the openSUSE community, I
am working to add a new package to Factory and all help from the
openSUSE community is welcome. The packages
<https://software.opensuse.org/package/ritchie-cli> are currently in my
OBS home project available to all openSUSE users interested in testing."
This addition shows the intention of the author to bring the package to
the official repos, inform the community of the efforts and provides a
call to action asking for community help.
Part of the intention to moving to the new format on news.o.o was to get
more contributions and also move aware from https://lizards.opensuse.org/
Are we as a project and marketing ok with people posting info on
news.o.o. as long as it's community related?
Should we come up with some basic standards to put in the README.md on
https://github.com/openSUSE/news-o-o?
What are the thoughts about this?
Should we bring this topic up to opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org?
v/r
Doug
