[opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money
by Vincent Untz 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hi, (let's see how a public discussion about money goes :-)) The Google Summer of Code brings us great students, but also means that the openSUSE project will get $8000 (if I'm not mistaken) at the end of the summer. That's $500 per student. A while ago, I requested comments on my blog about what to do with the money, but didn't get any feedback. So I take this as "do what you feel is best", and this mail is about the plan. As a reminder, the main issue is that we will likely not have the openSUSE Foundation created in time for this. For instance, Google would like us to get some form filled before the end of June; this is not a mandatory timeline, but I think it shows that we won't be ready with the Foundation for that. The current plan is to give that money to another organization we feel close to, and I have two candidates in mind: - the Software Freedom Conservancy (http://sfconservancy.org/) it's a really nice org that provides a home for various cool projects (see http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/) and those projects help make openSUSE a great project. - the Desktop Summit (https://www.desktopsummit.org/) it's one of the biggest event this year, and this would help us have some more visibility (since we'd be sponsors, I guess). I'm sure they would welcome this to secure their budget. Note that an alternative solution would be to leave the money to Google for a future GSoC or similar program, but I feel it's better to use the money where it can make a difference today. Now, it's not too late to change the plan. If you have a better suggestion, please tell us. There's no need to argue forever about it, just explain why you think it's good. Keep in mind that if we cannot receive the money ourselves, this also means that we cannot use it to buy stuff for openSUSE. Pavol and I will take the final decision since we are the GSoC admins for openSUSE.

[opensuse-project] Asking for delaying the elections
by Ana Martínez 31 Mar '18

31 Mar '18

Hi, According to our Wiki[1], during the campaign-phase there should be: 1 - plenty of blog entries on the upcoming election by the candidates 2 - interviews with all candidates by the openSUSE news team 3 - a moderated Q&A session on IRC possibly during one of the regular Project meetings or a separate meeting All the candidates have written a platform, so we could consider 1 as done. But 2 and 3 haven't been done. Taking into account that the elections starts on Monday and that tomorrow is public holiday in many part of the world, I think this is not acceptable and that we can not consider the campaign-phase as done. How is people going to decide who to vote if they don't know who we are? Because of that I would like to ask for delaying the elections. You may wonder why 2 and 3 haven't been done. I think that their organisation have started too late and we didn't manage to do it on time. The openSUSE news team is already working on the interviews (2) and they will be published as soon as they received the answers from all the candidates. It could even be that it is published before the voting period starts. In the case of the moderated Q&A session on IRC (3) it was maybe not sure who should organised it. I have expected the elections team to do it, but there is actually no reason why we (the candidates) can not organise it alone. I have already send them a Doodle and I hope we can announce a date rather sooner than later. I know that this is not optimal and I am really sorry if someone doesn't like my email. But I personally do not feel well if, after saying in my platform[2] that I want the board to work transparent, the first thing I do is skipping our own rules without any explanation. I really do not pretend to blame anybody with this email. I just want that we have some more time to make a good campaign, so that openSUSE members have the chance to choose the people who better represent what they think openSUSE should be.
