AW: [opensuse-project] Quick SLES question...

by Michael Kromer

Yes, since SLES 12. Everything before (Any SP-Level) does not use systemd, instead SysV-based init. - mike -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von:Mathias Homann <Mathias.Homann(a)opensuse.org> > Gesendet: Mon 22 Juni 2015 11:56 > An: opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org > Betreff: [opensuse-project] Quick SLES question... > > Hi, > > Does SLES use systemd, and if so since which release? > > Cheers > MH > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org > To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Isn't it possible to change the "just do it"

by Françoise Wybrecht

Isn't it possible to change the "just do it" ? (@Henné, of course) to find a new boosting sentence ? longer mail ... couldn't be avoid ;) OK a geek is used to work a lot alone ... but for sure most f us are here to share, collaborate, pair-program or brainstorm a new sorftware. But "Co is King". Coworking, coproduction, cocréation... (I read that a few weeks ago) and a community project (in theory for sure we all agree) depend on marketing and design too ... Marketing IS NOT just writing a blog or an article ... (!!) Sharing a new on linkedin can be part of marketing, but marketing is not just a "shit" todo boring list ... I deeply believe that any "shit todo" can become FUN as soon as we are a group having fun - co-acting ! So on this project mailing list ... we should be able to share ideas too, as : I have an idea of ... without being sure to get a : go and do it ... ALONE ! oh that's the fun ! this is a great way to bring all members/contributors to the silence. (kinda : do it or shut up) great meritocracy ;-) I'm sure it's not what you were wishing ... in 2011, an openSUSE team went for a marketing week in LA (travel and hotel paid) - and they did produce a lot (as well as articles, design, ideas and fun) - and each of them were very tired at the end but they (quite sure) all keep a great memory of that. Marketing & design IS not saying "just do it". It's a group work, team, fun ... or it's not, and nothing. We (as a community) have to change first our way of seing things before things will change ... or not. Isn't it possible to change the "just do it" ? and (by the way) "we never find contributors to do the shit ?" PS - Message to the elder (wise) members : In all group and community, a few people influence the community (and openSUSE is not an exception). You can easily do the list (= the 5 to 10 members/contributors that you decide to read when they talk on the mailing list like Henné, Kulow, Cornelius etc......). You, the "(wise) elder influenced openSUSE guys", even if you have very less time for that, have a responsability in the "project future", you (conscious or not) give the global mood on this mailing list ... we love to believe that we are an open community, but concretely, we just use very traditional human habits. When one wish to evolve (and we can prefer to regress) ... the "just do it" ... is like "leave us work" - "we have no time for abstract ideas with no future" - "do what you want, as long as we can go on our job" etc ... I say it ... I just do it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

May I suggest the turmoil is the result of the isolated communication that occurred. I'm fairly certain the Board knew nothing of the merger with MicroFocus any more than a day before Richard Brown published https://news.opensuse.org/2014/09/17/statement-on-the-recent-merger-announc… But from that time forward, anyone discussing something as tumultuous as the release of the SLE sources to the Factory should have been cross-posting broadly. The habit of the sub-community to talk among themselves about everything without examining whether the larger community might be interested misses the opportunity to lead the discussion. Please don't be afraid to publish your rough drafts of a wiki article as an effort to lead. Many folks in FLOSS have advocated Radical Transparency. I think such is ofttimes the appropriate bias. > In any case from the project perspective the principles are always the > same. Those that do the work get to decide, no matter what. Meaning no > one in the community is in a position to tell another contributor what > to do. My perception here is that some of the doers are working in an isolated communication environment and leaving out some other doers that are equally qualified to discuss the effects of any decisions that need be made. Besides, the work the excluded doers are doing is directly enabled/disabled by the decisions to take a certain path. Awareness of the needs of the FULL community is hard to maintain, but must be fostered. > The openSUSE board is only there to guide and facilitate > conversation and compromise if necessary.
