http://wiki.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Help:Translation&curid=4820&diff=2… " + |[[Terms of site]] + |Please add the following header translated into your language: <nowiki>{{Info|This is an translation of the [[en:Terms_of_site|openSUSE Terms of site]] into '''LANGUAGE'''. It does not legally state terms for these pages—only the original English text of the Terms of site do that. However, we hope that this translation will help language speakers understand the Terms of site better.}}</nowiki>" As legal terms are not congruent in other languages and nether are the legal systems based on that languages - this is not a task for a person without an education in legal issues. And I doubt that such a person (if not very stupid and so not the best choice to do it at all) will do that without the security of a paid insurance and/or something that assures he/or she is free of liability according to the legal system he/she (and probably also the users and contributors of the wiki in that language) lives in. And maybe someone professional should also examine which terms of that standard form contract would be binding in the legal systems the contributors and the users would probably live in.

[opensuse-project] "Legal"/"General disclaimer" has been moved to "Terms of site"
by pistazienfresser (see profile) 03 Aug '10

Hello list, dear administrators of all the sub-projects of the openSUSE project, the content of the URL http://en.opensuse.org/Legal or http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:General_disclaimer has apparently been moved to http://en.opensuse.org/Terms_of_site . As Redirects get regularly deleted and content gets regularly moved from one namespace to an other or form one title to an other in the new wiki see: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Special:Log/delete http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&page=Legal the administrators of other openSUSE (sub-) projects which are still referring to one of those or another old URL for this terms/legal issues/standard form contract (e. g.: http://forums.opensuse.org/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_novellgen https://features.opensuse.org/ "Disclaimers" http://old-en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org "Disclaimers" http://software.opensuse.org/113/en "Legal information" ) may think of linking to the new URL or copy the content and use an URL in the according sub-project or make a page with new content in their sub-project. Greetings pistazienfresser P.S.: This is not meant as a comment that includes an opinion about the validity this terms in general... -- - openSUSE profile: https://users.opensuse.org/show/pistazienfresser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] The openSUSE Project welcomes Jos Poortvliet as new Community Manager
by Andreas Jaeger 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

We’re proud to announce today that Jos Poortvliet will join the openSUSE project and Novell as openSUSE Community Manager starting on August 1. With Jos we’ve found a leader with excellent community building experience combined with a very welcoming nature, many fresh, promising ideas and a strong drive to grow the openSUSE Project. Jos holds a degree in Organisational Psychology from the University of Utrecht and has gained valuable experience in several professional roles ranging from Project Manager at KPN to Service Level Manager at Royal Bank of Scotland. Last but not least, Jos is a leading member of the KDE Marketing Team and has helped Akademy and the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit attract a vibrant and collaborative audience. Jos commented, “The opportunity to become part of the international openSUSE community is very exciting. There are a great number of interesting developments going on in the free software world, and openSUSE plays a major role in many of them. I look forward to working with the community on these, helping it grow, finding new directions and ways of developing, and delivering its innovative technologies to users and developers around the world.” We enthusiastically welcome Jos and look forward to his working with the openSUSE community to shape the future of the openSUSE project. After his start he will be deeply involved in the openSUSE conference, other community events and activities, and of course he will have the pleasure of promoting openSUSE wherever possible.
