[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] marketing materials for Leap
by Peter Czanik 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hi, We will have a conference in Hungary a few days before the Leap release. I wonder if there are any flyers which describe the features of Leap. Or any flyers which we could print locally, and don't sound completely outdated knowing that Leap is around the corner. Also: are there any graphics which could be printed on a roll-up?

by Chuck Payne 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

I had questions related to SUSE Studioat the Install Fest I helped with this weekend I couldn't answer. I was asked since there doesn't look to be a 13.3 that 42 will because coming in Novermber, will it be on SUSE Studio? Can you upgrade projects from 13.2 to 42? How is 42 going to impact SUSE Studio? -- Terror PUP a.k.a Chuck "PUP" Payne ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

[opensuse-project] openSUSE at Alternatiba Toulouse
by jdd 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

"Alternatiba" ("Alternatives" in occitania local language), is a large show that took place in the center of Toulouse last week end I was there with a local free software association (Toulibre: http://toulibre.org/) there I couldn't flag openSUSE too much, the booth being the Toulibre one, but I could wear the openSUSR Tshirts, the openSUSE fluo gilet and use the openSUSE tablecloth that was very appreciated (the second day, when I come, a bit late, the tablecloth was used by an other table, but still showing proudly "openSUSE" :-) http://dodin.info/piwigo/index.php?/category/5911 My guess is that we could see for the hole show around 10.000 people on the week end pretty tiring, but pretty pleasant also, the public is not random, it's made of people very concerned by privacy (TOR was a high interest subject) and free software is right into the scope. Public come from the hole region, some people as far as 100 km away, may be more. jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Leap banner
by Jim Henderson 09 Sep '15

Do we have a banner-formatted leap counter? Probably a good idea to get it on the forums if we do (I can coordinate that, just need to know where the image is). :) Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello, Recently I noticed, "openSUSE Conference crossing borders between communities" i.e. column related to oSC15 is still flashing at main page of opensuse.org Can we update that column with 'openSUSE Asia Summit 2015/Taiwan" content/write up? Adding Asia summit 2015 local people/organizers in cc just to make sure they don't miss this e-mail. :-) Thanks & Regards, Amey. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
