[opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money
by Vincent Untz 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hi, (let's see how a public discussion about money goes :-)) The Google Summer of Code brings us great students, but also means that the openSUSE project will get $8000 (if I'm not mistaken) at the end of the summer. That's $500 per student. A while ago, I requested comments on my blog about what to do with the money, but didn't get any feedback. So I take this as "do what you feel is best", and this mail is about the plan. As a reminder, the main issue is that we will likely not have the openSUSE Foundation created in time for this. For instance, Google would like us to get some form filled before the end of June; this is not a mandatory timeline, but I think it shows that we won't be ready with the Foundation for that. The current plan is to give that money to another organization we feel close to, and I have two candidates in mind: - the Software Freedom Conservancy (http://sfconservancy.org/): it's a really nice org that provides a home for various cool projects (see http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/), and those projects help make openSUSE a great project. - the Desktop Summit (https://www.desktopsummit.org/): it's one of the biggest event this year, and this would help us have some more visibility (since we'd be sponsors, I guess). I'm sure they would welcome this to secure their budget. Note that an alternative solution would be to leave the money to Google for a future GSoC or similar program, but I feel it's better to use the money where it can make a difference today. Now, it's not too late to change the plan. If you have a better suggestion, please tell us. There's no need to argue forever about it, just explain why you think it's good. Keep in mind that if we cannot receive the money ourselves, this also means that we cannot use it to buy stuff for openSUSE. Pavol and I will take the final decision since we are the GSoC admins for openSUSE.

[opensuse-project] Seeking oSC16 Location
by Robert Schweikert 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, With the organization of oSC15 kicking into high gear (https://news.opensuse.org/2014/12/11/conference-at-bink36-kicks-into-high-g…) it is also time to start thinking ahead to oSC16. Therefore, the openSUSE board is seeking applications from people interested to lead the organization and host oSC16. For those with historical trivia knowledge about our project the year 2016 will ring a bell. 2016 marks the 10 year anniversary of our project, certainly a great reason to celebrate. The requirements for a venue location can be found here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Conference_venue_requirements and we are looking forward to many great applications to host the openSUSE conference in our ten year anniversary year of 2016. Please submit proposals to the board mailing list, board(a)o.o, by March 15, 2015. We will try to make a decision about the location as quickly as possible and invite one person from the organizational team to participate in oSC15 in The Hague in early May. If everything goes as planned we will announce the location for oSC16 at the upcoming oSC15.

The full logs are available at http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2014/opensuse-proje… . Meeting summary --------------- * Action Items Review * oSC 15 organisation is progressing, more details are available in the minutes of the last meeting http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2014/opensuse-proje… * More information about the current status of oSC 15 organisation is available on news.opensuse.org - https://news.opensuse.org/2014/12/11/conference-at-bink36-kicks-into-high-g… * Any other business * a few questions about 13.3's release schedule and 13.2's support lifetime * 13.2 will follow the same support formula as all openSUSE releases - 2 releases + 2 months. So it will depend on the (currently undecided) release schedule for 13.3, but assuming a release schedule of *at least* 8 months, then it should have a support lifecycle of *at least* 18 * a longer release cycle for 13.3 and beyond will increase the support lifecycle of 13.2 and subsequent releases * Also, remember to file your bugs on bugzilla.opensuse.org if you have issues with 13.2 or Tumbleweed :) * openSUSE Board Elections * Campaigning has started for the openSUSE Board Election 2014/2015 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2014-12/msg00026.html * the Candidates this year are Kostas Koudaras, Michal Hrusecky, Craig Gardner (*), Petter Linnel (*) and Robert Schweikert (*) - Candidates marked with * are SUSE employees * Ballots will open on Janurary 13 2015 * only openSUSE Members can vote, but there might still be time to apply for Membership * each openSUSE member will recieve 3 votes, one for each open Board Seat * Good luck to all the standing Board Candidates Next Meeting will be at 1500 UTC on Jan 7th 2015 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] [ANNOUNCE] openSUSE board election 2014/2015: Campaign begins
by Frederic Crozat 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

openSUSE election committee is glad to announce the beginning of election campaign for openSUSE board election 2014/2015. This campaign will be 4 weeks long (and will be able to continue until ballots close). As a reminder, ballots will open on January 13, 2015 and will close on January 26, 2015. The candidates running for an openSUSE board seat are (by alphabetical order): - Craig Gardner (*) - Kostas Koudaras - Michal Hrusecky (*) - Peter Linnell (*) - Robert Schweikert (*) Candidates marked with a (*) are SUSE employees. The candidates with the most votes will be elected for the board. 3 seats are open for vote. Note that no single organization or company can control more than 40 percent of the electable board seats (more than 2 seats). Since no seat is already occupied by a SUSE employee, only two additional SUSE employee, at most, may be elected. We'd like to ask each candidate to send (or send again, if they did already in their announcement as candidate), on opensuse-project mailing list, a short introduction of themselves and a short manifesto/platform/program that gives answers to these topics: Goal statement, Past work summary, Future plans. The election committee also needs the openSUSE username, irc nickname and a userpage in the wiki to reference the candidate. It is recommended that they blog about their candidacy as this will reach a much wider audience of voters. If their blog is not syndicated on Planet openSUSE, please advise the committee who will ensure it does get added. openSUSE 2014/2015 Election Committee Frederic "fcrozat" Crozat Marcus "darix" Rueckert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
