Hi all,
A quick FYI.
A network outage this weekend will effect openSUSE services that have a
Direction Connection to Nuremberg host infrastructure on Saturday
between the hours of 1 and 6 p.m. UTC.
The outage will last about 30 minutes and take place between the above
listed hours.
The outage effects only external connections due to maintenance in the
datacenter. All services will run without any downtime.
v/r
Doug

It's not actually the same, the chameleon logo is different than the
SUSE one (it's changed quite a lot over time -- look at the feet and
height for instance). It also doesn't include the tagline, and the
colour palette is different. (Of course, this is pure pedantry.)
All of that being said, I do agree that if all you didn't ask anyone and
just looked at the name of the project and logo you might get that
impression. And that is something that should be fixed -- with the
caveat that badging everything with "this is not a SUSE product" is
pretty extreme and not really rational. Someone who is a non-SUSE
openSUSE contributor probably wouldn't appreciate having their work
stamped with that label because "openSUSE is a confusing name". Not to
mention that "this is not a SUSE product" would be an accurate label for
*every* project not listed in <https://www.suse.com/products/>.

If you look at <https://getbootstrap.com/> I guarantee you'll start to
notice that a lot of websites use it (and it looks like Twitter --
that's the point).

Because if it's not on the list of *products* on the *SUSE* website, how
can it be a *SUSE product*? I legitimately don't understand how this
particular part is confusing (I understand some of the other confusion,
but not this part).
