Hi all, We had our Week 3 meeting for the openSUSE Conference 2019. You can find the meeting minutes at http://community.opensuse.org/meetings/opensuse-project/2018/opensuse-proje…. There are 60 days left to submit a talk for oSC19. Things seem to be looking good with planning so far. I want to thank all the people who contacted me about sending them some fliers to help advertise oSC19. I especially want to thank TUXEDO Computers for offering to include an oSC19 flier with every laptop they sell. 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] openSUSE, FATE and Bugzilla
by Jan Ritzerfeld 04 Dec '18

Hey, recently, several bug reports were filled for an internal FATE feature request and assigned to the respective maintainer or bug owner of the affected packages. So, since when Bugzilla is used for feature requests - especially for internal ones that weren't discussed in the openSUSE community? I'm an external package maintainer and I'm utterly confused that someone internal tells me to implement internal features requests without asking me first whether I'm willing to do so!

[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.
