(That's >what happens in almost every election in the USA.) 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.

[opensuse-project] Voting for the board! Hard to choose!

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.

[opensuse-project] Do legal related bugs need to be private?
by Cristian Morales Vega 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

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? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Call for volunteers - Program Committee
by Robert Schweikert 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

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 -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU SUSE-IBM Software Integration Center LINUX Tech Lead rjschwei(a)suse.com rschweik(a)ca.ibm.com 781-464-8147 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] SCaLE 11x announcement
by Drew Adams 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

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! -- Drew Adams Member & Ambassador, openSUSE Project -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] E17 goes to openSUSE
by Tomas Cech 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

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. Portal on Wiki: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Enlightenment openSUSE Connect: https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/groups/42079/e17-users/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/openSUSE17 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/opensuse.e17 IRC: #opensuse-e @ FreeNode 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!
