[opensuse-project] New members running for board
by Vinzenz Vietzke 06 Dec '18

06 Dec '18

Hi all, as far as I can see the "new" membership process is still under rework. As there are three board seats open and people needed to fill them (and do the work included) I wanted to know: Is joining openSUSE and directly running for board something totally inappropriate? Or would it be worth the work stepping up and writing some words of intentions and plans? Would be great to hear you thoughts.

[opensuse-project] Leaving the board
by Ana Martínez 02 Dec '18

02 Dec '18

Hi! Since I am in the Board I have met many people and made many good friends, as well as gotten a better overview of how things in openSUSE work. However, because of personal reasons, I do not have the time anymore to carry out the tasks of the openSUSE Board with the dedication they deserve to be done properly. Consequently, I think that it is fair that I step down and allow someone else to take my place. It seems to me that the best moment to do this is in the next elections, so that the person who substitutes me is elected by the community. That means that there will be 3 seats to be elected instead of 2 in the next elections. I hope that there are plenty of people running for the elections! :) To motivate those who may be considering running for the board, here is a list of things that the board could do / continue doing / help with that I personally found important in the last months: - Transparency on how the Board works: Continue writing the meeting minutes, keep documentation about the board in the Wiki updated, making votes public, etc. - Transparency on how openSUSE works: economical transparency, ensure that the documentation about openSUSE in the Wiki is updated (for example the membership rules and the information about communication channels), etc. - Continue supporting our communities all around the world with events like the openSUSE.Asia Summit (this includes but is not restricted to economical support). - Promote and facilitate that openSUSE encourages and helps newcomers: support mentoring programs, keep documented and accessible the places to ask for help, etc. Last but not least, I would like to thank everyone who supported me during this time.

[opensuse-project] oSC19 Meeting Minutes Week 2
by ddemaio 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Hi all, We had our Week 2 meeting for the openSUSE Conference 2019. You can find the meeting minutes at https://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proj…. A couple points that came up in the meeting were the following: 1. I received some fliers to help advertise oSC19. If you want me to mail you some fliers to bring to a hackerspace or university, let me know. Send me your address and I will send you about 20. If you want more, please let me know. 2. If you are interested in volunteering to help with oSC19, please let me know. It would be great to have someone volunteer to lead the volunteers. Please let me know if you are interested in being the lead for the volunteers. 3. We would like to have a competition to design a poster and a t-shirt for the conference. I will come up with some rules for the t-shirt design as t-shirts designs have some production constraints. More info will follow on this topic. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Distro Devroom at FOSDEM
by ddemaio 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

Hi all, I was asked me to pass this info along for the distro devroom at FOSDEM. If you plan on going to FOSDEM and are interested in the distro devroom, please let me know and I'll communicate your interest along to the organizer/s. v/r Doug The Distributions devroom will take place Sunday 3 February 2019 at FOSDEM, in Brussels, Belgium at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. As more and more workloads are being considered for containerization in the future and are finally landing in virtualized environments today, distributions remain a critical success factor and are more important than ever. Containers, like virtual machines, are not magical and rely on piles of software being assembled in a way that is repeatable, reliable, and functional. This is at the very heart of the problem that distributions have always solved. Each distribution is responsible for building, testing, and releasing software as well as managing the lifecycle of each application in the collection. Additionally, distributions do very important work in ensuring that various versions of upstream software work well together and can co-exist. Distributions are also, often responsible, for "de-vendoring" upstream software so that security fixes can be applied more quickly. We welcome submissions targeted at contributors interested in issues unique to distributions, especially in the following topics: # Topics and Areas of Focus ## Focus Areas - The ways that distribution technologies can be leveraged to allow for easier creation of a multi-verse of artifacts from single source trees. This includes the increasing move toward self-contained applications and providing multiple non-parallel installed versions of software. - Efforts being made in shared environments around Build/Test/Release cycles. - Topics related to the delivery problem as it impacts updates in terms of both size and rollback/reliability are expected to be featured. ## Additional Topic Ideas - Distribution and Community collaborations, eg: how does code flow from developers to end users across communities, ensuring trust and code audibility - Automating building software for redistribution to minimize human involvement, eg: bots that branch and build software, bots that participate as team members extending human involvement - Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues, eg: content distribution, infrastructure, and documentation - Growing distribution communities, eg: onboarding new users, helping new contributors learn community values and technology, increasing contributor technical skills, recognizing and rewarding contribution - Principals of Rolling Releases, Long Term Supported Releases (LTS), Feature gated releases, and calendar releases - Distribution construction, installation, deployment, packaging and content management - Balancing new code and active upstreams verus security updates, back porting and minimization of user breaking changes - Delivering architecture independent software universally across architectures within the confines of distribution systems - Effectively communicating the difference in experience across architectures for developers, packagers, and users - Working with vendors and including them in the community - The future of distributions, emerging trends and evolving user demands from the idea of a platform Ideal submissions are actionable and opinionated. Submissions may be in the form of 25 or 50 minute talks, panel sessions, round-table discussions, or Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions. Dates ------ Submission Deadline: 02-Dec-2018 @ 2359 GMT Acceptance Notification: 7-Dec-2018 Final Schedule Posted: 14-Dec-2018 How to submit -------------- Visithttps://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM19 1.)
