Dear all,
The dates for oSC14 have been fixed today, and they are: 24th - 28th
April, 2014.
I would like to invite all who would kindly help with the organization
to an IRC meeting.
The proposed date for the meeting to take place is this Friday, November
29th, 17:00 hours CET.
The proposed channel is: #openSUSE-project -
irc://irc.opensuse.org/openSUSE-project.
I am sending the two lists below, which are the proposed table of
contents for the meeting.

community, are on the second list.

Dear community,
Here is my elections campaign platform details. I hope that they feel
like something that is important for you to see in the community. Our
current discussions on focusing our project are very important and I
feel they also need to move beyond code and software. They also need to
be about marketing, outreach programs, etc. It is in this regard where I
want to base my platform.
Please leave an endorsement if you feel so inclined.

Dear fellow's members, just a quick message to announce the publication of my platform.
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_platform_2013_tigerfoot
There's a nice place at the end of the page called "Endorsements" which shouldn't stay empty :-)
This is your place, I already thanks any of your support.
If there's questions, how does the election committee wish to handle them?
Any direct personal will get a personal answer from my side.
All the rest here in the mailing list?
We all know that any vote counts. Our community can send a strong signal how healthy it is if we have an awesome participation rate this year.
So ping your fellows community member friends to participate to the election.
Truly yours.
