[opensuse-project] Board Meeting Minutes Oct 02 2018
by Richard Brown 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

# Board Meeting Minutes Oct 02 2018 # Apologies Ana (Reason Given) Simon (Reason Given) # Minutes ## Bugshare Discussion of Bugshare. Board is concerned that the Bugshare team is receiving a disproportionate amount of requests unrelated to unblocking contributions. Board agreed on the principle that the bugshare team should prioritise requests which have a clear need identified by the contributor. ## Copyright Board discussed a situation of a copyright request related to an established website/group. Board decided to give them permission on the conditions that this group should abide by the following principles - Guiding Principles - Forum rules - Logo use properly - Non profit operation Confirmation with our legal team is pending. ## Elections/Call for Volunteers The Organisation of the next Board Election is currently blocked pending volunteers for the election committee. Elections has only recieved 1 volunteer for the Election Committee, but need at least 2 and wish for more. The meetings attendees are collectively disappointed in the community, and find it puzzeling that topics about Board transparency can produce email threads involving dozens of contributors, but there appears to be little or no interest in running the elections that will replace the current Board. AI: The Board will be sending reminder announcements about the open call for volunteers for the Election Committee. ## openSUSE Foundation Limited discussions due to Simon (who is taking the lead on this topic) being absent. >From SUSE's point of view all of the draft ideas being bounced around so far carry no objections from thier side. The Board would like to see some draft ideas shared with the community before the next Election so the topic can be part of the Election campaigning. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Election Committee call for Volunteers.
by Simon Lees 23 Oct '18

23 Oct '18

Hi All, As was written in our last board minutes, to give plenty of time to organise our board elections as per the Board Election Rules[1], the board has decided to ask for volunteer's for the board election community a little earlier (now) Chuck has already proactively read our minutes and has put his name forward as a volunteer, so the remaining question is does anyone want to volunteer to help him? 1. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

[opensuse-project] Please add me to "openSUSE Committers" team
by Andreas Hasenkopf 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hi there, currently I'm working on an internal project that relies heavily on some of the openSUSE projects (e.g. osc2, suseapi). Unfortunately no one is working on the Python3 migration of those projects and the latter showed no feedback on issue reports or pull requests. So in order to migrate by project to Python3 I would like to drive especially the latter project as it appears to be abandoned and broken in it's current state in the master branch. Thanks for adding me (name of GitHub: crazyscientist) to the "openSUSE Committers" team :) Cheers, Andi -- Andreas Hasenkopf <ahasenkopf(a)suse.de> SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nürnberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0; Fax: +49-911-7417755; https://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg)

Just letting people know I didn't die (yet) in case the anyone wonders out loud on any of the lists, forums or in BOO. Hurricane Michael threatens flooding downstairs where my most used puter stations live. If current forecast holds, there will be storm surge in the house in around 4 hours. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
