[opensuse-project] Resigning from the Board, ceding my post to Stephen Shaw
by Federico Mena Quintero 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Dear fellow lizards, As you know, I have been part of the openSUSE Board for a few months now, thanks to your kind election. However, work and other duties have kept me too busy to be a useful part of the Board. I would like to step back from my duties in the Board, and cede my post to Stephen Shaw (known as decriptor on IRC). Stephen has been very active in the openSUSE community, and I am sure that he will be a much better Board member than myself. However, this does not mean that I will stop working on openSUSE! I am part of the openSUSE-GNOME team, and will keep working happily on the technical side of things there. Please welcome Stephen as the new Board member, and thanks for all, Federico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, I would like to know how I can cancel my Novell/openSUSE account, having all my data removed. I looked into the Novell website, but I could not find any information on how to do that. What is the procedure to follow? Thanks for your help.

On travel, since that comes up pretty often. The site says: A limited number of scholarships are available to cover speaker travel and will be awarded based on need. If you need assistance paying for travel, please include a request in your submission. If you have any other questions, please email the program committee at tpc-members(a)linuxplumbersconf.org.

[opensuse-project] Meeting Minutes openSUSE Board Meeting, May 20 2009
by Michael Loeffler 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Please see below the Meeting Minutes of the openSUSE Board. We welcome any feedback and recommend to use the opensuse-project mailing list so more people can participate. As always the openSUSE Board is reachable through board(a)openSUSE.org May 20, 7-9pm UTC Participants: Michael Löffler (michl) Bryen Yunashko (suseROCKs) Pascal Bleser (yaloki) List of topics: *Foundation We'll investigate more into the creation of an openSUSE foundation. We reached out already to Novell how they feel about and received positive feedback. The foundation at the beginning should be a more independent body then openSUSE is today and should make it easier to collect donations in a transparent way to use directly for community efforts. *Expanse spotlight.o.o to Board Members All openSUSE Board members will have access to spotlight.opensuse.org to post/blog there. *openSUSE Membership requests The membership requests still are a pretty manual process. We imported out of users.opensuse.org another bunch of requests and are in the process of evaluation. But we need to admit we could have been faster with that. *Status of "ambassador program" The Ambassador program will be announced soon by zonker (meanwhile happened *Add features to openFATE without being member? During community week the request was stated several times to make it possible to add new features for non-members as well. We had a discussion about it and the Board recommends to make this request happen as we think there are more up then down sides.

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Conference open day
by Klaas Freitag 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

Hi, I was wondering how the openSUSE open day should work (saturday of the conference). Who is the intended group of people to come? I assume it wil be nuernberg local people interested in Linux, either already using openSUSE or candidates to do so. Are talks on the open day in german? How do we want to advertise that special sub event 'open day'? I would suggest to print posters and place these at schools, universities in Nuernberg.

[opensuse-project] Fate question
by Carlos E. R. 06 Jun '09

06 Jun '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I don't know where to ask about FATE, so I do it here. I created one (my first) on behalf of somebody else who is not a member. I set the priority to "neutral", but it came out as "important". I can't change it. How do I do it? Also, I put the last line in "cursive", and I got the error: Error There were errors: * The description is not valid richtext: Error: No declaration for element i at :0. Do I open a bugzilla for this? What product? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse-project] Reminder: openSUSE Conference Call for Participation Deadline June 5
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

The deadline for the openSUSE Conference call for participation is coming up pretty rapidly -- Friday, June 5th is the last day to submit a proposal. We're looking for contributors to openSUSE, upstream projects, and members of the openSUSE community to participate[1]. The summit will be an opportunity to bring the openSUSE contributor community together to share ideas, experience, hack, and help guide the direction of the project. So we're looking to members of the community to give presentations, tutorials, and lead birds of a feather and panel sessions in several tracks: * Community: Marketing, translations, wiki, documentation, forums, and openSUSE governance. * Desktop: Topics related to the openSUSE desktop, including KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and applications. * Server: Use of openSUSE on the server or development of server applications. * Toolchain and System: The kernel, YaST, packaging, and openSUSE Build Service. * Open Day: Saturday will include a track for openSUSE users and people new to Linux. If you're interested in presenting at the openSUSE Summit, fill out the Call for Participation Form[2] with all of the details for your participation. We're accepting talks, tutorials, birds of a feather, and panel discussion submissions. (Birds of feather sessions will be scheduled after hours.) The summit will not be entirely composed of prepared presentations, so we will be accepting a limited number of proposals. Make 'em count!
