Hi!
One of the first things that the openSUSE board have been working on
is getting some clear acknowledgment through for all good openSUSE
contributors. The result of this can be seen through what we think of
as "openSUSE Members"[0].
We are glad to announce that the process for becoming a member has
just been approved by the board, and that we are now happy to take any
applications. Please have a look at the wiki page for instructions on
doing so.
We hope that this will further distinguish active and helpful
contributors to openSUSE, and in doing so bring the openSUSE community
closer together.
Have a lot of fun!

Hi,
Thanks for the effort put into making opensuse available.
I'm a 1 year old linux user/hobbyist and have really enjoyed
'working/playing' with linux, I adopted linux because of a colleagues
recommendation that it was a better distribution for moderately IT
skilled users with reasonably sophisticated needs, computing, etc.
As far as I can tell there is just one opensuse based AMI that is
publicly available for Amazon's EC2 service.
Of course such efforts are up to the community, I was wondering though
if there was any thoughts of distributing 'official' opensuse based
LAMP/LAMR images. It also seems natural to make a Condor
'installed/configured' image for compute uses cases. Here I'm not
thinking of anything as complicated as RedHat's efforts on messaging,
though the seem like they will use Condor. Amyone aware of
thoughts/efforts/moves in this direction?
Appreciate any thoughts/insights.
Regards
Mark

Hello,
Thanks to everyone who showed support for the proposed Code of Conduct!
http://en.opensuse.org/Code_of_Conduct
The idea is to follow some common-sense rules of politeness when
communicating in the various openSUSE forums: mailing lists, IRC
channels, web forums, Bugzilla, etc. These places have seen very rude
behavior in the past; what we want to do is to make openSUSE actually a
nice project in which to participate.
* "But newbies get annoying!"
That's because they are not used to asking questions appropriately. We
were all newbies at some point: we just saw that we had a problem with
our computer, and didn't really know what to ask or whom to contact.
We simply need to guide newbies so that they can ask the right
questions. This may involve making it easier to *find a way to ask the
right questions* --- do we need a basic "how to ask" guide for mailing
lists / etc? Maybe there already is one and it needs to be better
publicized :)
* "Experienced people have a right to get annoyed!"
Have you ever been walking down the street when somebody stops you to
ask, "excuse me, where's the post office?", and it's in front of them?
What did you do? You told them, "why, it's right there". You *didn't*
punch them in the face and tell them how dumb they are. openSUSE needs
to be polite in the same way.
Thanks to everyone who showed their support :)
Federico on behalf of the openSUSE Board

Sorry for jumping the gun on sending out the announcement. I guess I
rationalized the mails in the discussion as "there is rough agreement
and some concerns which fortunately just need some simple
clarifications". That turned out to be not the case :(
You know when you are so excited about an idea that you thing everything
must be fine and you should go ahead with it? That's exactly what
happened to me yesterday. Sorry again.
Let's discuss this tomorrow in the project meeting. In the meantime,
I've changed the wiki page to acknowledge the moderators (big oops on my
part for forgetting about that!) and to mention the board only as a
last-resort thing.
Federico

Hi Aj,
Well, I've read this over OpenSUSE News, Planet SUSE, mailing list and
another resources, so, I believe that this is a big news to OpenSUSE
community :-)
"The openSUSE community manager will act as community advocate and
ombudsman thus relaying openSUSE community and users needs back to
Novell."
So, is this means that Joe Zonker will be act as our gateway to the Novell ?
Is this possible to invite him to traveling around the World ? Maybe
we need to invite him to our events in a few next months.
Congratulation to Joe Zonker. Warm regards from Indonesian OpenSUSE fans.

Hi everybody.
I want to raise your attention on a project I'm currently working on
with Adrian: the implementation of a trust/rating system for the OBS.
We'd appreciate if everyone interested could communicate his
opinions/thoughts/impressions on this. We are very interested to get
some input from the whole openSUSE community.
Adrian has already posted a wiki entry which gives further information
on the subject here... http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Concepts/Trust
Feel free to comment on this - input is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rupert

Hello all,
What exactly does this mean, "not supported?" (reference
http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_SUSE_Linux )
Let me give some background on my question. I ran RH Linux from
version 5.0 through 9.0 and upgraded in this sequence (I can include
mkLinux here, but I didn't upgrade there):
5.0->5.2->6.0->6.2->7.2 (I reinstalled 9.0 because I had the Ximian
Gnome disk on top of 7.2 and that did some weird stuff.)
I had problems, one which lost my PPP Internet connection (a real fun
one), one where my old printing system went away and I fought to print
again to a "special" HP printer, etc. but generally everything ran.
So besides the possibility of minor inconveniences such as what I saw
with Red Hat, what exactly is so terrible about upgrading Suse to make
it not recommended and not supported? If I do a full system backup
prior, can't I just do a tar to restore my system back (as I did
before when my HD crashed)? Are lawyers making you say this or
something?
Thanks,
Henry.
