Help with Leap 15.4 wallpaper needed
by Lubos Kocman 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

Hello openSUSE marketing team I'd like to ask you for a help with refreshed Leap 15.4 wallpaper. Original plan that we've communicated on the community meeting was that SUSE Branding team will provide us wallpapers with SLES look and feel, but that idea seem to have faded, as team is not able to deliver it in our Beta timeframe. But that opens a new door to us. I'd like to ask you for a help to make a call for refreshed Leap 15.4 wallpapers. Ideally the wallpaper should reflect the transformation that has happened to Leap over past two years (Closing the Leap Gap), where Leap is now combination of SLES rpms and Community rpms. I personally like to refer to this as a bridge in between Community and Enterprise. But any ideas are welcome :-) Any ideas for campaign that could be driven by the openSUSE marketing team? Ideal deadline to have the wallpaper would be the Leap 15.4 Beta code submission deadline is February 16th which leaves is with bit more than a month. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap Let's collaborate in https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/issues/132 Thank you! -- Best regards Lubos Kocman openSUSE Leap Release Manager

announcement of new spanish forum
by victorhck 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Hello listmates! Since April 2021 the official Spanish forum for openSUSE (forosuse.org since was outside openSUSE infra) was offline due technichal issues (vBulletin version, PHP, hosting issues, etc) The current moderators were waiting since then for the Admin to fix this issues (also we provided help or support with that), but we didn't get news about the process. So we decided to ask help and a place in forums.o.o infra. Malcom Lewis and Jim Henderson have done the best and now, we have a spanish forum inside openSUSE infra, great!! :) (but still is not available for everyone) I want to ask if a text as anouncement (available in etherpad.o.o¹) of the new "release" of spanish forum inside forums.o.o written by mods can be published in news.o.o? But, we don't have a date which spanish forum will be open for everyone. If the text fits in news.o.o when we have the final date I can share here to publish the text... Kind regards.

openSUSE News Translations
by Marco Antonio Flores 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hello everyone. Following a little bit of this topic: https://news.opensuse.org/2021/03/10/a-message-to-the-opensuse-community/ There's already a Spanish translation team for the news being coordinated via Telegram, our goal is to give Spanish speakers a transparent way to get them. Currently we're trying to publish in external platforms, however our goal is to have a space inside the News portal kind of like the former openSUSE Weekly News; meaning having multiple language translations not just Spanish. So, I'm submitting this idea for everyone to consider it's viability, or whatever needs to be done to collaborate. Best regards. -- Marco "AlpVonKri" Flores openSUSE - The makers' choice for sysadmins, developers and desktop users. marco.flores(a)opensuse.org http://www.opensuse.org

Hacktoberfest
by ddemaio 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

Hi all, Last year we participated in Hacktoberfest, which is an event run by Digital Ocean and DEV that encourages people to make their first contributions to open source projects. The event is a month away and it would be ideal to have a few projects within openSUSE host an event. Whether it is an event to teach people about a project, teach someone how to maintain a package or just a class abou improving documentation, any contribution will help. There is a page about Hacktoberfest on https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/hacktoberfest2021 where you can list your ideas. I'll put the topic on the list for our community meetings so we can discuss it later today and next week. Get more info about Hacktoberfest at, https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com. v/r Doug

Hi all, We've been doing our sprints every first Thursday of the Month at 18:30 UTC. The community meetings conflict with that timeframe. I recommend we participate in the community meetings as some of the topics listed are similar to what we had been focusing on in our monthly meetings. Does that sound good? What do you all think? v/r Doug -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Regular Community Meeting Week 35 Date: 2021-08-31 10:35 From: Douglas DeMaio <ddemaio(a)suse.de> To: "opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org" <opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org> Hi all, I just wanted to send a reminder that we have two regular community meetings you can attend this week.

Well, that makes it even stronger of a message than I had initially wondered about. :-) Who can adjust the Lifecycle wiki accordingly? Thanks, Gerald

lifecycle wiki page
by ddemaio 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Hi all, There was a recent post on reddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/m1xl56/is_opensuse_leap_ready_to_be…) that made us take a look at how to present our lifecycle page (https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime) and info to be added to the marketing of Leap 15.3. There were several comments on reddit that can be summarized as there is a lack of clear information on how long the lifecycle of Leap 15.x will be going forward. When the info on https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime was originally written, there was some clarity on major versions lasting a minimum of 36 months. We know Leap 42 and 15 exceeded that lifecycle. It looks like we're at a point where we evolved and need to provide a bit more clarity for people based on the reddit comments I propose we change the lifecycle page to include the following sentences and include the info in the marketing of Leap 15.3 and beyond (for the foreseeable future): Leap *Major Release* (15.x) extends maintenance and support until a successor. At present, a successor has not been declared; Leap 15's lifecycle fully aligns with SUSE Linux Enterprise. There is a projection as of March 2021 that Leap 15 will extend to Leap 15.5. Both major versions of Leap 42 and 15 were supported more than 36 months. Any thoughts, changes, removals or additions to the above sentences. v/r Doug
