Dear all,

for a position in the openSUSE Board.

Hello everybody,
After checking the progress of the board aplications I've decided to join the
fun and try to get in the race.
Now people might ask quite obvious questions:
Q: Why the heck would you do this?
A: As the board is non-technical leading body I want to join to help and make
our community nice place to make everyone enjoy, at least a bit ;-), being
part of it.
Q: And what are your plans?
A: World domination! But seriously to keep up the good work current board did
and try to improve where possible. Apart from this I will try to check up and
help on the board projects, like beat up Miska with dead trout until he
provides the scripts to detect inactivity... :)
Cheers
Tom

Hi
I hope I am not late (I was travelling and had limited access). I will
like to stand up for the openSUSE Board elections this year.
I will post my platform later.
Thank you so much for accepting my candidacy.

Hi everyone,
I'd just like to give a shout out to the openSUSE team to thank and
congratulate them for providing SuseStudio. I've gotten to know it quite
well during the course of the creation of my custom openSUSE Leap
appliance for myself and many other new Linux users I support.
SuseStudio really is an incredibly powerful and generous offering,
allowing even dolts like myself to put together a really slick custom
distribution that is still backed by the maturity of the fantastic
openSUSE infrastructure.
I'd also like to express my thanks to the SuseStudio team for continuing
to offer the creation of **live** images on SuseStudio, together with
the live installer. I know that openSUSE is now more concentrated on the
net installer and the DVD installer images, but for me and **many
others** a live installable ISO continues to be the preferred option.
Please continue to support this option via SuseStudio.
Thanks again!

Guys,
I am sorry this is a week late but we did have that holiday last weekend.
I first want to thank Douglas for getting me Shirts and other swag way
head of time. I was ready. The only down side was I didn't have any
printed media, but I did buy two hundred blank dvd's and burnt them
with openSUSE Leap 42.1. I would like to thank Ricard Brown/Douglas
for letting know they wanted me to go and letting me.
Beside the local user group that I help with, this was the first event
in over four years for me to go as for openSUSE. So I was very please
when I was asked to go.
FOSSETCON was small, rumor has it been two hundred to three people. I
rented a car so that I could carry down the two Dell Optiplex 755
Small forum pc I bought just of this. I also took a Raspberry Pi2 with
the latest image running on it. My work Performance Matters donated a
monitor to me for these events. I came a day early to see if I could
help out. Which I did, I helped set up projectors, sound systems and
other things the events needed.
Thursday, was classes so expo hall so again I helped the event as much
as I could. Because, I was able to help out in that matter they asked
if I would help check in Richard Stallman into the hotel, he was the
key speaker this year. I told that not a problem. I did. I also made
sure that RSM got lunch and was at the speaker Dinner. I was nice to
meet him.
Friday and Saturday was the expo hall, I had the table set up
Thursday, after which I again helped the event setup up. We were near
the front door behind us was Red Hat. There were only three Distro
there, Fedora/Red Hat, Ubuntu, and us.
I have to say this event was awesome. I don't mean that because it
been while, but the fact that I had people hangout the both asking
questions. I have about 5 people stay about two hours, since I had the
two computers, I had came with Tumbleweed on it, but I reinstall Leap
on with the Gnome Desk so that people can see both in action.
I burnt only 150 DVD all were taking away. I only put a few shirts out
at time gave them to people that were really asking question about the
bistro or would let me example why were are an awesome distro to use.
The most popular thing we were giving way were the books ( by the way
awesome job ) and the geeko windows replacement sticker. I only came
home with a hand few of stickers.
I did have someone ask if I would install Leap for them. I did, with
the understanding that if anything happen it was ok not openSUSE or
the events. I also created a few USB sticks for people while I was
there too.
One very cool thing there was a voip company there what builds there
app on top of SUSE, I seem to misplace their card.
Again, thank you for letting do the whole Ambassador/Advocate stuff
again. I was a blast. I am as always willing to go where need, who
knows maybe one day I will make it across the pond.
Your Truly your humble Ambassador/Advocate for openSUSE.

Dear community members,
we have some 4 weeks to go until openSUSE 13.1 will run out of support.
Already now repositories start to disappear!
13.1 should go to Evergreen, and I feel it will be the most important release
ever in Evergreen: It will be the last stable 32bit openSUSE Version!
Dont get me wrong, TW is considered as stable, but there are reasons why one
running a 32bit environment will not switch to TW.....
13.1 as Evergreen will only be half way useable if only the Basis-Distribution
is maintained: Many software is in other repositories, which now start to
disappear.
In previous version (11.4) users have found worarounds (e.g. local copies with
rsync) to overcome this limitation. I dont feel this is the way to go, esp. if
you plan to keep some 13.1 Appliances alive in SUSE Studio.
The idea to have a build-target openSUSE:Evergreen in OBS, against which repos
can build, sounds more like a reliable answer to the problem.
This was discussed in the Evergreen-list, but the discussion came to a stop
w/o conclusion/agreement.
Thats why I would like to bring it into the project list.
How can we get this process started?
At least I would be happy to build against openSUSE:Evergreen for the repos
and packages I maintain.
Looking forward for your opinions
Axel
I am the relatively new maintainer for VirtualBox with limited knowledge of the
RPM build process. My predecessors had made the decision to keep the version of
VB in openSUSE 13.2 to VB 4.3.x and that 13.1 be kept to VB 4.2.x. I support
that decision, thus the builds for 5.0.x are never submitted to the
openSUSE:13.y:Update branches. Despite that, I just received a build failure
notice from OBS with the subject "Build failure of Virtualization/virtualbox in
openSUSE_13.1/x86_64". The detailed log shows that a build of VB 5.0.10 that
ran out of disk space. As far as I am concerned, attempting that build was a
waste of OBS resources.
What changes should I make in the .spec file to prevent these useless builds for
13.1 and 13.2?
In case a build that is important runs out of space, what is the default disk
space assigned to builds.
Thanks,
Larry
