[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] FOSDEM openSUSE party?
by Hans de Raad 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hi All, we recently touched the subject of having an openSUSE get-together at FOSDEM, let's make this a little more concrete! 2 years ago we had an excellent dinner at restaurant Le Delire Parisien near Avenue Louisa on the Saturday evening, but that might be a little above the financial profile we're looking for, so I'd like to propose a couple of locations in the neighborhood to see if we can get this setup! - Michael Collins Irish Pub - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Michael+Collins+Irish+Pub/@50.825709,4.36… I've been here before, It's quite a decent location to get some beers and enjoy a nice evening (although service can be a tad slowish, the beer definitely makes up for that). We shouldn't come here if the group exceeds 10/15 people because they don't have room for that. It's about 15 min walking from the ULB or <10 min by tram. - Cafe Belga - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Caf%C3%A9+Belga/@50.8258378,4.3675171,17z… An absolute institute in Brussels, they have live music/dj in the evening and a renowned Belgian fries stand around the corner (100 m - Frit Flagey). It's at walking distance from the ULB (5/10 minutes). They can easily handle large groups. - Sounds Jazz Club - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sounds+Jazz+Club/@50.8288196,4.358698,15z… Some call this the best Jazz club in Brussels, and you can get Italian food at a decent price here. This is also more suitable for a smaller group (between 10/20 people) It's about 15/20 min walking from the ULB or <10 min by tram. Does anyone have a preference or should we just roll a dice! See you at FOSDEM! Hans de Raad -- OpenNovations / DevHdR Van Sevenbergestraat 49 2274PK Voorburg Tel +31 6 83578847 www.hcderaad.nl

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Well obviously my thank you message proceeded the official announcement of the election results. This should not have happened. I made an assumption and got caught. After seeing a posting on G+ I made the assumption that the announcement of the election results was in my Inbox. After checking the results in connect I sent my e-mail without verifying that the election committee had officially confirmed the results with an announcement, my bad. Sorry for jumping the gun.
