[opensuse-project] download.opensuse.org IPV6 address breaks updates
by Gerald Pfeifer 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

I am seeing this with an openSUSE 12.1 system at home, and also a Factory system at work: % host download.opensuse.org download.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?

With 8 candidates, the community definitely had a broad choice of qualified candidates to choose from. In the end, the two top vote-getters were Raymond Wooninck (tittiacoke) and Robert Schweikert, (robjo) respectively. They will join the openSUSE Board on January 9th during the transitional meeting of the regularly scheduled Project meeting heldon the Freenode IRC Channel at 17:00 UTC. The Election Officials would like to congratulate all of thecandidates for a great campaign season. These candidates included Matt Barringer, Richard Brown, Carl Fletcher, Manu Gupta, Chuck Payne and Stefan Seyfried. All of these candidates demonstrated a commitment to the Project and exemplified the Guiding Principles which the Project, as a whole, is founded upon. We join the rest of the community in looking forward to an exciting year to come as the new Board embarks on new initiatives and directions. And we thank the community for giving us the opportunity to serve as members of the election committee.

[opensuse-project] Cross-posting - why not?
by Greg Freemyer 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

All, The netiquette was updated in the last couple days to explicitely say cross-posting is wrong: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette#Cross_posting I very much disagree for the majority of the opensuse specialized lists. In particular I note there is currently a cross-posted discussion going on here with both -artwork and -project in the to: line. I think this is as it should be. I propose the netiquette be updated to say: ======= Cross posting That is when the same message is sent to two or more mail lists at once, like when we CC two or more people in a private message. Problem is if people reply and are not able to post to both lists. Then one of the replies is rejected and the conversation becomes disjointed. ie. Conversation becomes broken as the reader[s] can see only messages that are posted to their list, often stumbling on answers without previous questions. This is imposing a lot of additional work to follow conversation, like looking another list, or mail list archives, and try to locate missing messages. The opensuse lists come in 2 flavors: Closed lists that only allow subscriber postings and open lists which allow non-subscriber postings. The high volume end-user distro support lists are all closed. The lower volume specialized lists are typically open. Thus if you post to a end-user list like "opensuse(a)opensuse.org" do not cross-post to any other list. If you are posting to the more specialized open list, cross-posting is fine, but when replying to cross-posted messages, please continue to reply to both of the cross-posted lists. === FYI: The LKML (linux kernel mailing lists) familiy of mailing lists has been open for years and the cross-posting has been the norm there for years. This is a solution. FYI2: I first proposed on opensuse(a)opensuse.org converting it to an open list and allowing cross-posting, but got little buy-in. That's why I carved out the main user support lists from the rest.

[opensuse-project] Board report for October & November 2012
by Vincent Untz 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi all, Here is a report of what the openSUSE Board discussed in October and November 2012. Note: action items that have been completed are not mentioned here; some action items can belong to non-board members. We intend to have such reports on a regular basis. On a personal level, I'd like to encourage teams to write short reports too, to keep everyone aware of what's going on. Feedback on the content (as well as the form) is welcome :-) Cheers, Vincent ================================================================== Events ====== + openSUSE Conference 2013 One team applied to organize the Conference in 2013. After some discussion with the team, and an evaluation of other options that could be considered, it was agreed that the Conference would be organized in Greece in July 2013. + openSUSE Summit 2013 SUSE proposed to host an openSUSE Summit in Florida after SUSEcon, in November 2013. In concrete terms, SUSE would sponsor the venue and part of the organization, while the community would handle the content and some local organization. To make an informed decision, feedback on the idea has been requested from the community. + openSUSE Conference 2014 In the hope that we can have two events a year, and assuming that we would have a venue for the Summit sponsored by SUSE around November every year, the board believes it would be beneficial to have the Conference in spring. To enable this in 2014, we need to publish a call for hosting bids shortly after the openSUSE Conference 2013 announcement. AI: all to decide about openSUSE Summit 2013 AI: all to prepare a call for bids for the openSUSE Conference 2014 Hackathons ========== A long-time idea of organizing more hackfests/sprints/etc. was pushed with a proposal from SUSE to host three hackathons before openSUSE 12.3. The board supported the proposal. One goal is to learn from this experience so that the community can organize more hackathons all year long. Andrew agreed to monitor and help the coordination of the first hackathons for the board. Changes to Ambassadors Program ============================== Kostas sent a proposal about changes to the ambassador program (as proposed in his talk at the conference). On a general note, the board supports the changes. There were some comments / suggestions for changes from a non-board reviewer, that could be added to clarify a few things (such as the relation with our existing governance structure, ie the board). AI: Kostas to review latest comments, and then start implementing the changes. Legal entity for openSUSE ========================= An internal discussion about whether we need a legal entity or not resumed again, and what form it should take. Two of the goals would obviously be to be able to have direct access to some funds, and to receive donations. Two main approaches were being discussed: - creation of a Foundation - joining a non-profit organization like the Software Freedom Conservancy The two approaches are currently under evaluation (which includes discussing with the Software Freedom Conservancy). The goal is to have as much information as possible so that the board with newly-elected members can move fast next year. AI: Vincent to discuss further with Software Freedom Conservancy AI: Henne to fetch old documents about establishing a Foundation Organization of openSUSE Board elections ======================================== The board worked on setting up an election committee that will organize the elections. Izabel Valverde, Bryen Yunashko and Thomas Schmidt agreed to step up. Misc ==== There was short discussion on having openSUSE as an organization in Ohloh, with general agreement that it should be done. AI: Henne to create the organization in Ohloh -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
