[opensuse-project] RFC: Is this right way to call for contributors?
by Rajko 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

I stumbled over the article: https://en.opensuse.org/Tutorial_how_to_participate and marked it for deletion. What do I need is a community opinion what to do in similar cases: 1) Fix technical errors (move to right namespace, fix categories, formatting) and leave alone, 2) Delete, 3) Something else? IMHO, it is not right way to call for contributors, as it is asking for more or less personal information in direct mail, excluding explicitly community communication channels, which opens can of worms that I (we) don't want to deal with. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] wanna help?
by Jos Poortvliet 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Heya, If you feel like helping out with the release marketing, there is someting simple yet very helpful to do: Improve https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Upcoming_features with the information about new features described in these Milestone articles: * https://news.opensuse.org/2012/12/18/opensuse-12-3-milestone-2-released/ * https://news.opensuse.org/2012/11/08/opensuse-12-3-milestone-1-is-ready- for-you/ Just copying-pasting the stuff that's not mentioned yet is already a big help, cleaning up the text is just a bonus! I already added some of the things which will be in the announcement of Beta 1 tomorrow, but keeping an eye on that and adding what I forgot is again worth bonus points ;-) Have fun, Jos

Guys, What mailing list does the question about features go to for openSUSE 12.3? I was trying to install by vnc, it came up and asked for my passwd, but I could never connect. Is that not working?

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Summit - call for volunteers
by Robert Schweikert 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

All, We will have the 2nd openSUSE Summit this year on the weekend of November 16 & 17 immediately following SUSECon 13. Thus, the event will be somewhat similar to last year's event. While oSC13 preparations are already well underway we need to get started to form a team of people to organize the openSUSE Summit. Last year Bryen did a lot of the heavy lifting and I am hoping that for this year's event we can have a larger team to share the load. I am also hoping that Bryen will volunteer again such that lessons learned last year will not get lost. The event will take place at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Volunteers are needed for everything: - Wiki pages - Artwork - Planning - Program committee to name just a few areas. Many hands make light work, please step up and help to make the 2nd openSUSE Summit just as successful as the first one.
