I am seeing this with an openSUSE 12.1 system at home, and also a
Factory system at work:
% host download.opensuse.orgdownload.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.134
download.opensuse.org has IPv6 address 2001:67c:2178:8::13
And then, when running zypper patch or zypper up, I see
Retrieving: repomd.xml [error]
Download (curl) error for
'http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/repodata/repomd.xml':
Error code: Connection failed
Error message: Failed to connect to 2001:67c:2178:8::13: Network is unreachable
Alas, my provider nor that network at work support IPv6. Still, my
system has IPv6 enabled since roaming around on different networks,
IPv6 may be present, or even necessary there.
(This does not happen all the time, sometimes if I retry a bit later
the system uses IPv4 and everything works.)
Now, is this just a setup problem and I should simply and
unconditionally disable IPv6?
Or are some parts of our update or network stack in need of
some adjustments?
For the time being, unless this is just me running into this,
should we disable IPv6 on download.opensuse.org?

Hey everyone,
The 11th annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE 11x), is just around
the corner. I have already been in contact with the fine people at SCaLE
and secured our booth. They will be getting us our Exhibitor=92s Kit soon
enough. I would like to put some feelers out in the community for
interested community members that would like to help work the booth. I have
informally spoken to a few local people who have expressed a desire to
help, but I would like to formalize those discussions by bringing them
on-list.
Also, I know there has been some ideas tossed about... Ideas like, getting
a custom "openSUSE Project" banner, and having some videos looping showing
off the different desktops running on 12.2. If we are serious about doing
ideas like these, we need to start planning and, more importantly, acting
in preparation for SCaLE.
SCaLE is going to be on February 22-24, 2013 at the Hilton Los Angeles
International Airport Hotel. I am looking forward to working the booth
again... I hope we get some new faces working the booth this year too. Join
us, we always have a lot of fun!

Hi All
I would like to stand up for the board elections this year.
My Primary Goals during this time :
1. Organizing Programs like GSoC and other programs that encourage new
contributors to come-in
2. Knowing where all the funds come from and into. Pretty much all
that comes to us is from SUSE. But there are donations from the
community during oSC's which are totally unaccounted for. I believe
before a foundation comes into place, the Board should be able to keep
a track of whatever little funds that come from other sources should
be accountable to the community.
3. Correspondence - The Board should have good correspondence with the
community. So if the community asks something, the board should
respond to it

As we're discussing this, I realise that the current Election page doesn't mention anyone's employer besides Roberts
Should us candidates go ahead and list our employers on this page to properly reflect the policy, rather than just highlighting the SUSE candidates? (which I think we've got wrong on the current list anyhow, isn't Matt also working for SUSE?)

Hi,
today, as it has been announced, is the last day for presenting your
candidacy for the openSUSE Board.
After closing the 2012 summer/autumn agenda (12.2 Release, openSUSE Summit and
openSUSE Conference), the openSUSE Team is able to concentrate on the future.
We are beginning to plan our future actions in openSUSE. This is a process in
which obviously you will have a lot to say.
In any possible scenario we are thinking of, the Board will play a key
role. It is not that it hasn't played it until now, don't get me wrong, it is
just that we will need it more than ever.
For SUSE, it will be simpler to help openSUSE if we have a strong Board. It is
up to the community to decide what "strong Board" means, but at least, it
might be:
* Fully supported by the community.
* Representative of what the community is and want.
Having a voting system to select the Board members helps to achieve the above,
but is not enough. It needs help from every community member, from the Board
members itself and from SUSE, of course.
At SUSE, we have the commitment to help the Board to achieve their goals, the
community goals.
Please think carefully about presenting your candidacy for the Board.
Interesting times are ahead of you.
I also like to encourage you to have a vibrant debate about what the Board
should do, how to support it, what it should look like in a couple of years,
what needs improvements, how SUSE should help the Board.... This is the right
time for such a debate.
Saludos

Hey All
In my stand for the board
"2. Knowing where all the funds come from and into. Pretty much all
that comes to us is from SUSE. But there are donations from the
community during oSC's which are totally unaccounted for. I believe
before a foundation comes into place, the Board should be able to keep
a track of whatever little funds that come from other sources should
be accountable to the community. "
Henne asked me
"I believe when you throw around an accusation like this you should back
them up with facts. So please, would you go into details? "
When I said, WE as in the board in my reply. And I agree, its my fault
entirely, that I had not taken this up with the board immediately, but
I have tried to push Alan's proposal to it and so far I have not
received any positive response to it. Alan's proposal was a way to
account for funds both incoming and outgoing while working along with
the SUSE finance department. Vincent's proposal for sfconservancy is
undergoing discussions and I applaud the board for taking such
positive steps.
I had also asked Izabel, for a link of the talk that she gave at oSC
so that I could prepare the report I promised to do so long ago, but
this I got a reply today only.
Agustin had recently mailed the board that he is coming up with a
report on openSUSE Conference 2013 and I am waiting for it, but I
believe them to come up with the report.
Recently, I have mailed the board again, the mail that was sent by
Izabel to the board after I was selected. I would like one of the
Board members to clarify it.
There are no accusations here, what I am trying to say here WE as in
the community is looking for a foundation but we are not entirely
prepared for it. One large part of creating a foundation means
administrative overhead, and the board along with the community should
be forthcoming to take these administrative responsibilities. A
community should ask questions but also help to answer those.
WE as in the community as has so far neglected important questions like
1. Where is the GSoC Money going?
2. What about the donations that are taken during oSC?
Because of our huge dependence on SUSE. But as we move towards a
foundation, we will also be moving towards a more independent entity.
The result of a more independent entity would give us a lot of
opportunities like
1. more sponsors
2. more control over our infrastructure
3. A legal entity
But with such a lot of things coming up, we will have more work too, like
1. Taxation
2. Copyright protection
3. A transparent accounting system
etc etc
These all tasks are difficult for a highly developer community like
ours and nobody likes to do the accounting work too. I am not entirely
sure whether we will have a foundation or not, but I do believe it is
the time to ask the right questions to the board and ourselves as a
community. I will be really happy to answer any questions the
community has.
I have still a lot to learn I believe and apologies again if anyone
felt insulted during my stand.
