[opensuse-project] openSUSE Board candidacy
by Richard Brown 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hello fellow Geekos! After 10 months serving on the Board, my current tenure on the Board is due to end this year. It's been a busy 10 months, during which time I've been involved in progressing the reform of the Ambassador/Advocate & Local Coordinator Programmes, monitoring the improvements to the Travel support programme, countless copyright requests and much more besides, all while maintaining my contributions to other parts of the project as a regular Geeko (GNOME & Branding in particular). With all that said, there is lots more work that remains to be done, which is why I'm announcing my intention to stand for (re)election to the openSUSE Board If you choose to re-elect me, my priority will be to continue to represent you all, our community of contributors, and to address the issues of greatest concern to you and our Project. I hope to encourage further empowerment of both the Board and the wider Community to take on responsibilities 'traditionally' held only by SUSE employees. I also wish to improve the working relationship between the Board and the openSUSE Team. As you may already know, as of last week I have become a SUSE employee. As I am working in QA, my 'day job' will continue to have relatively little to do with openSUSE, but given that openSUSE has been my hobby and my passion for something like 7 years, I am not intending to let my new employment change how I serve this community; Though obviously being surrounded by so many of our contributors in Nuremberg will hopefully make it easier for me to hear what's of interest to you :) I hope you trust me with your votes in a few weeks time. Thanks for all the fun, Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Board candidacy
by Sascha Peilicke 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hello fellow geekos, Let's start with a little introduction. I've been involved in the openSUSE project for more than 3 years by now while being amongst the top ten contributors to Factory for most of the time. I mainly develop the Python and Go stacks as well as OpenStack. Since I was part of the OBS team in the past, I still contribute from time to time to source services, OBS and osc. But I guess most contributors know me for my involvement in the reviewing process of Factory submissions and maintenance updates. After taking over this responsibility from darix and doing it alone for quite a while, I helped shaping up the review team we have today. As a result, the review process that was solely done by SUSE employees in the past shifted to a team that consists of both SUSE employees and community members. I also created and maintain openSUSE's Continuous Integration infrastructure that allowed to move formerly internal-only testing processes into the hands of the community. There, we're currently testing the OBS, our OpenStack packages and Yast. As a board member, I would like to continue on that route and help others opening up more of the processes and tools and transition them into the wider openSUSE community. I don't have an easy answer nor the authority to address challenging topics such as the foundation, but I believe in small, steady step. So if you choose to vote for me, you shouldn't expect just a talker or a regular meeting attendee, rather you would get our practical issues addressed. Uhm, that was a little longer than intended, so without further ado, I hereby would like to announce my candidacy for the openSUSE Board. -- With kind regards, Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)

[opensuse-project] openSUSE13.1/Wayland
by Ikey Doherty 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

Hello all, My name is Ikey Doherty, and this is me swiftly introducing myself to the mailing lists. TL;DR(re:life) Software engineer, made LMDE, ran SolusOS, killed it, creates software. Done. Checking through openSUSE 13.1 I can see that Wayland seems partially supported, however not through the GTK (and related libs) stack. Notably I can see that the following packages do not have wayland enabled (--enable-wayland-backend) * gtk3 * cogl * clutter As far as I can tell the only stopping point in this chain was enabling Wayland support in GTK3, due to an old patch (from gtk3.7) being used in the gtk3 package. I've pushed to Factory [1] in the hopes this will then allow the rest of the packages to have the Wayland backend support enabled. My reasons are entirely selfish, I need the Wayland backend active to test Budgie [2] via Weston on openSUSE13.1, but that aside, I cannot see any particular reason to not have the backend enabled, especially once you consider the fact that the GTK3 libraries are already dynamically linked to the wayland libraries. Happy to do this work myself, hit a bit of a roadblock in terms of "where do I push?" as there seems to be no pattern in what repository is used (gtk3 I had to use GNOME:Factory, clutter required openSUSE:Factory but indeed thats a lot of build deps I do not want to test on openSUSE13.1 as its about to become stable. Can't seem to submit cogl anywhere) Any help on quickly implementing Wayland support in openSUSE would be much appreciated!

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Board Candidacy
by Andres Silva 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

Hello, Many of you know me as “anditosan” and I have participated of the openSUSE project for a few years. I believe it is a good time for me to stand up for candidacy for the openSUSE Board. I have used SUSE and later openSUSE since 2000 and I still consider myself a novice knowing that openSUSE is ever evolving and our community is ever vibrant. New things for us are always around the corner. Believing that changes happen all the time and that being part of a coordinating body like the board will help my passion for innovation and Linux further itself into our wonderful community. I have participated mostly of the Artwork team creating promotional designs to further our brand, also to promote our releases, to change looks on our distribution and making our name a visual memory for our users. I have also recently joined the News team in making sure that our communications to the press and users is clear and attractive. But I would like to do more than this. I have also been a teacher, publisher, historian and an artist. I believe in communication as a means to making our project better. My intentions as a member of the board are to contribute with the communication of the board to the rest of the project. Helping in difficult situations that our members face and coordinating efforts to have our community aligned with clear objectives. I believe in openSUSE’s commitment to inclusion and I intend to take that further. I respectfully present my candidacy and rely on your votes to put my people experience to the test as part of the openSUSE Board.
