Every election maybe, but not every race. So where I live if we have
15 races to vote on, typically one or more of the races won't get 50%
and there is a run-off election a few weeks later.
For openSUSE we can make up any rules we want.
eg.
A winner must have 40% of voters minimum in the first vote to be
declared a winner.
If only one candidate achieves 40%, then the candidates with the 2nd
and 3rd most votes will be in a runoff.
If no candidate achieves 40%, then the top 3 candidates go to a runoff.
fyi: i have no idea what good cutoff would be. Where I live it is 50%
for political elections, but it can be whatever works best for
openSUSE.

All,
Only 2 days left and looking at the platforms / backgrounds I must say it's
a fantastic selection of candidates.
I'm not sure we could go wrong with any of them.
My only wish is that we had a runoff option of some kind with this many great
candidates, I bet no one gets even 40%.
If I'm right and the votes are almost evenly split across numerous
candidates , I suggest the rules be updated for future elections to have a
quick runoff mechanism. Ideas of how to do that can wait until this
election is over.

libcdio 0.90 has been released. Right now we have a GIT snapshot
because of a legal problem that the .changes file summarizes as:
- libcdio-paranoia separated from libcdio due to license issues
see bnc#756564
I want to read the bug report to know how to do a proper update. But I
can't access to it.
Now that I have shown that making legal related bugs private causes
problems, there is any good reason to do that? And if it's actually
needed, what's the recommended workaround?

Hi,
As you may be aware (hopefully) oSC13 planning and organization is on
the way and we have little time to pull everything together. The
conference will take place in Greece in July. While there are numerous
tasks that can only be accomplished by local volunteers there are also a
plethora of tasks that can be accomplished from afar. One such task is
to create a schedule, decide on tracks etc. For this we need volunteers
to form the Program Committee. Being part of the committee is
independent of attendance, i.e. you may not be able to attend but you
can still help make oSC13 a great event.
We need at least one person that has experience with Indico or a similar
tool that we can use to accept papers. The team needs 5 to 8 people.
So far we have the following members on the committee:
Stella (differentreality) will lead the team and coordinate with the
rest of the oSC13 organization team, Henne, Luiz, Alberto, and myself.
Therefore it would be great if we can find 2 or 3 more people willing to
help with the progam for oSC13.
Everyone signing up is expected to participate in a few meetings to
discuss what tracks we should have, timing of call for papers etc. Also
everyone on the committee is expected to read all the submitted abstracts.
A rough list of tasks we have collected so far can be found here:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_todo_list#Program
(Note that other oSC13 tasks are being tracked in Trello and the program
comittee might also move to Trello if we end up with many more tasks
than anticipated)
So feel free to jump right in, and respond to this e-mail or send me an
e-mail directly if you are interested in helping with the program for
oSC13. Note there is no conflict of interest, i.e. you can be on the
committee and still submit proposals for a talk/BoF/hands on tutorial.
Later,
Robert

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 lizards fellows,
after years of development of E17, after years of E17 built for
openSUSE externally I'm glad I can say that E17 release is getting
near and it's way to openSUSE is getting to an end.
Release is scheduled to December 21th 2012 and all packages needed for
the E are already accepted or waiting in the openSUSE submit queue for
review.
E17 is not the ultimate goal, but first step in accepting this live
part of opensource world ecosystem. You can find our future steps in
Todo list on wiki (see URL bellow).
To coordinate further efforts we formed group and provide (in this
time) needed social media access too. You can there find basic
information and information about progress.

IRC:

We provide two repositories in OBS for E:
X11:Enlightenment:Factory
- this repository contains packages, which were released and packages
which are compiled against releases
- this is the devel project where the packages goes to Factory from
and is meant for users
X11:Enlightenment:Nightly
- this repository follows SVN commits strictly, contains much more
packages, but can from time to time be broken same way as upstream
- this is for EFL+E17 developers and testers
Have fun!
