We had been using that in the past, if we are not going to use it any more it would be awesome if we could add [oSC16] or sth similar in the beginning of the subject so that we can quickly figure out which emails are related to oSC. I personally have a separate label for the emails concerning the opensuse conference and I would like to be able to filter conference-related emails.

[opensuse-project] spreading precious resources thin
by Felix Miata 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

The KDE Neon discussion lead me to wonder who's who among unfamiliar names in the discussion, so I went to opensuse.org looking, early on finding: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_team I clicked on the first name, leading me to: https://en.opensuse.org/User:Rwooninck That looked rather sketchy, rather less information than I remember seeing when I last similarly looked. Eventually I remembered where I had seen much more copious information, and found: https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/tittiatcoke This begs a question maybe best asked here: Why exists both connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/* and *.opensuse.org/User:*? Both are wiki, right? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

[opensuse-project] KDE Neon and opensuse
by Alin Marin Elena 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Dear All, Having in mind the discussions appeared lately about KDE Neon... I think we shall have an official postion since we still ship kde as default de. My main concern is that bugs reported from anything else than neon will be considered non-kde. Already had this experience working in a kde project with some of the supporters of neon... for background: this is Bryan article http://www.networkworld.com/article/3032063/opensource-subnet/kdes-new-linu… a more interesting because of comments version https://plus.google.com/+BryanLunduke/posts/XfLoyBaxeea the kde-promo mailing list (this got censored to prevent the best coming out from neon supporters) [kde-promo] KDE Neon and how to handle this? an interesting link on reedit... In which the is kde neon a distro question is answered... by one of the neon people... https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/43tp4i/ is_kde_neon_a_distribution_or_not/ ten days ago seems the answer is: yes, and is indeed a fork/continuation of some other distro three days ago the answer seems to be yes and no... Regards, Alin -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Dr. Alin Marin ELENA http://alin.elena.space/ ______________________________________________________________________

[opensuse-project] do we need some sort of non profit...
by jdd 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

Hello, During a discussion on openuse@ list, an idea come. I'm absolutely not sure that it's a good idea, but it may be for reasons I will develop below. Richard Brown summarized very well the situation right now on the other list, please read: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-02/msg00372.html but neither the list nor the thread subject was appropriate, so this post. Discussion: Object: create a non profit organization "Friends of openSUSE", possibly Switzerland based (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-02/msg00344.html) to promote openSUSE. History: Long time ago, a discussion was held on the subject: do we need an openSUSE Foundation (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-foundation/). It was discarded because we feel that the openSUSE/SUSE trademark was better protected by SUSE than by any non profit Foundation. Reason not to create the association: As said by Richard, openSUSE don't really need money, we don't use already all what we can have. Hiring a developer is extremely costly and anyway couldn't be achieved before a very large grow up, not to happen anytime soon. Reason to create the "Friends" (seen by jdd): The relation between openSUSE and it's main sponsor SUSE was never clear for openSUSE member (official or not). Whatever is true, almost everybody think that the orientation of openSUSE is very closely decided by SUSE. My idea is that it's partially true, but not by direct subordination, but by common interest. I'm largely convinced (without any proof, other than reading many posts) than many people are reluctant to engage more in openSUSE due to this perceived relationship. Think than developers can benefit directly of the SUSE infra-structure to help them develop, so have a direct interest to subscribe OBS, for example. But most non-developers volunteers do not get any direct benefit, other than glory and self satisfaction. They do not feels like having real direction on what openSUSE do. Building an "Friends..." non profit organization could (may be, you will have to comment!!) make this better. The goal of this organization would be non profit, that is the direction and members of the organization couldn't get any money from it. This do not mean the organization can't collect money, only it have to be used for the social object of the organization (promoting openSUSE). See it like some "supporters" of sports squads - cheerleaders ones :-)) Every member would have to pay a small fee (10€??) as membership, for each year, so we would know exactly how many people really support the "Friends". They could also donate and the money could be used to support openSUSE where it's not already done. I think of more local support (french or Vanuatu one...). More over, it could drive people to engage themselves a bit more. You know: you have more consideration for something you paid for than for something that was donated to you... May be all this is a dream. Before making anything, we need to know if YOU would subscribe such organization. In France creating such thing needs three peoples and around 40€ for the creation publication, really cheap, but is it worth the fuss? your time to write :-) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Censorship on openSUSE mailing list?
by Axel Braun 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Good morning, I sent a mail last monday to the project and packaging mailing list, and got the reply back: The message from <axel.braun(a)gmx.de> with subject "OBS Users - kindly verify your credentials!" was unable to be delivered to the list because of an access rule set up by the list administrator. Oops? As no moderator feedback was received in between, can anyone explain this 'access rule'?
