Hi all,
I wanted to let you all know that openSUSE will have a lounge at this
year's Chaos Communication Congress. Please consider stopping by and
relaxing with the openSUSE members that will be in attendance. If you
have any questions, please reply to this thread.

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.
Regards,
vinz.

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.
Regards,
Ana

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.

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.

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.
