Enjoy reading! ;)
= Attendees =
Complete
= openSUSE.Asia Summit retrospective =
Simon and Ana attended openSUSE.Asia Summit two weeks ago and they
provided their impressions about the conference to the other board
members. The conference was really successfully, incredibly well
organized and a community event with lots of volunteers. There were
some concerns about the summit being co-hosted with COSCUP and
GNOME.Asia, but the fact that this was done keeping the three parts in
the same level, made it working pretty well. The openSUSE conference
was still well defined, but there was also the chance to interact with
the other communities and to get the attention of more new people.
We also spoke about the concerns from the openSUSE Asia community
shared during the session with the board the day previous to the
conference: Mentoring, translations, etc.
= TSP openSUSE.Asia =
The Board decided to try to improve openSUSE.Asia Summit travel
support budget to ensure more people can benefit from it and that
students get 100% reimbursement instead of 80%.
There are concerns if there is a procedure for requesting materials
and if it is widely known.
ACTION: Ana will double check if the process for that works properly,
is documented and will share it
= GSoC =
We discussed how openSUSE will receive the money from GSoC. SUSE will
receive it and pay mentors travels for the mentor summit.
= Sponsorships =
== Football team discussion in the last minutes thread ==
We discussed if was appropriated to explain personal points of views
on the topic.
== TH Nürnberg ==
openSUSE will sponsor the food of the Linux course for new students in
the TH Nürnberg university.
== DevFest'18- VIT Vellore ==
ACTION: Knurpht will write back asking more details
= Update membership information =
ACTION: Richard and Knurpht will try to update the information in the next month

To the openSUSE community,
There are so many wonderful, inspiring projects and communities in the
broader Free Software world -- that it makes little sense for me to
remain a member of one where the leadership personally attacks those who
suggest simple notions such as "let's be more transparent" (an implied
criticism that is as much about my own failings, as a past Board Member,
as anyone).
The responses received from some openSUSE Board members were profane,
rude, slanderous... and just plain not nice.
I have many friends in this community -- a community that has done some
truly exceptional work. Many of you have *much* to be proud of. And I
will do my best to not let the words and actions of some of the Board
impact my views of the good work that you have done and, I hope, will do
in the future. For the technology you have produced -- and the
friendship you have shared -- I will always be in your debt.
That said, the Board has created a negative, cruel atmosphere that I do
not want any part of. Perhaps one day that will change but, for now, it
is time to separate myself entirely and to focus on the communities with
much less hate; To surround myself with love, instead.
I do not expect any other people to take this action -- nor do I wish
this to cause any additional unhappiness or conflict among the
community. It is simply an action I must take, and I want my thoughts
(whether any agree with them or not) to be stated.
I request that I be removed from the openSUSE membership list. I will
unsubscribe myself from the various mailing lists this evening.
I wish you all (and I do mean *all*) the very best.
-Bryan Lunduke

Guys,
So I am trying to get better stats on Nginx. I want to use ngxtop, so I did the install
pip install nginx
But when I try to run the following command
ngxtop -l /var/log/nginx/access.log
I get the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ngxtop", line 7, in <module>
from ngxtop.ngxtop import main
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ngxtop/ngxtop.py", line 77, in <module>
from config_parser import detect_log_config, detect_config_path, extract_variables, build_pattern
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'config_parser'
I did a search and I found a package that says it should help with that module
python-configparser
I installed that package, but I am still getting that error. I am on the latest Tumbleweed with Python 3.6. Any clue what I need to install to get this working?

How one can make informed decision to vote on any candidate who wasn't already on Board and don't have history of voting?
>From my point of view, to this day, members voted on other members basing on their contributions, opinions and what they like in candidates. No matter if candidate was running for first election, re-election or n-th time election. And I see this as a good thing because all candidates are equal in this model.
In my humble opinion, public Board voting will encourage hate of Board members which have other opinion than yours and feeling of betrayal when your trusted member (elected after informed decision) make a vote other than yours opinion.
We vote for members who we like mostly because they go with values we also appreciate. And I believe they stick to this values during their Board voting. If Board decides differently than I would then I assume that doing the same voting in community would bring roughly the same results, because those people are representing community and my opinion is opinion of minority.
Using example of football team sponsorship. I don't need to know who voted how. More people voted 'yes' than 'no'. It was looking weird to me, so explanation from Board (not individual Board members) was more than helpful to understand their intentions behind this decision and it was all I needed to cope with it. Now, Board members who shared their votes are exposed to unnecessary abuse because of different point of view. It's toxic and unhealthy.
Best wishes,
Patryk
P.S. I apologize for my English, it's not my native language (many times I need to correct from Beard to Board ;) )

Simply make the votes public. That's
all. Every vote taken by the openSUSE
Board -- on *every* issue --
should be made
public. That way, when the next election occurs, the
openSUSE membership can make an informed
decision on who to elect (or
re-elect) to
best represent us.

For days I have been trying to find certain software packages via the
website https://software.opensuse.org/, but I keep getting the following
error message: failed to allocate memory.
Also the status page of OpenSuse is anything but good. Many services
have not been updated since 2017.
Why doesn't anyone care about the website? I installed Leap 15 and need
some packages and wanted to see where I could find them. I can't get my
computer running for days! I'm really upset and I'm thinking about
switching to another Distro.

# Board Meeting Minutes Jul 31 2018
# Attendees

# Minutes
## Board Meeting Minutes
After an accidental disclosure of our Board minutes after the last
meeting, Board agreed to only publish its minutes after the draft has
been agreed upon by the Board
## Conflict
Gertjan gave an update on the conflict to date
Mediation so far has been therapeutic, solutions have been elusive
todate, but the conflicting contributors are now constructively
discussing with each other with the board mediators in CC.
Discussions ongoing
## Conflict 2
AI Ana to discuss as recorded in last meeting
## Bugshare
Bugzilla is not allowing SUSE-volunteers for bugshare to open bugs in
the way intended
AI Simon to email Richard about the problem to raise with SUSE mgmt
## Membership
AI Richard to update Membership pages on wiki
## Licensing News
news.opensuse.org need to fixed to show its license for the content (CC-BY)
AI Ana to talk to Doug about getting that fixed if she doesn't fix it already
## Sponsoring Football Club
Board had a request to sponsor a local kids football team in Bavaria.
The Board discussed the idea
We typically only sponsor conferences when there are openSUSE
contributors present to represent the Project and discuss with
interested parties
In this case even though this is not a conference, there will be
openSUSE Contributors present, so even though it isn't a conference
And the team has parents and supporters from local technical companies
in the area (eg. Siemens)
The Board decided to sponsor the team with a 5-1 vote
As it is unusual for us to sponsor such things, the Board decided to
consider such things only on a case by case basis, at the Board level
AI Ana to talk to Doug about updating the sponsorship page
## openSUSE Asia
Discussion about the logo, trademark, etc. Nothing to discuss,
although the logo doesn't comply with our usual colours and logo type,
it does fit in the parameters allowed in the Artwork guidelines
Ana and Simon will be doing the opening and closing sessions
Ralf Flaxa (SUSE President of Engineering) will now also be providing a keynote
## Foundation
Ongoing discussions with SPI - they are generally welcome at the idea
of providing a project of our size with thier service
SFConservancy - also seem to open to working with us
Discussions ongoing
# Next Meeting
21st August , after openSUSE Asia, due to Simon and Ana's inability to
join due to their return travel from the conference.
AI: Richard to violently persuade the bot to behave and remind us
about the correct time

Hello,
I was not able to attend openSUSE Asia summit 2018.
I shared my experience from this year's openSUSE conference at local
Linux user group last month. [1]
I also shared information about upcoming openSUSE Asia summit.
With that regard, I got update from fellow openSUSE contributor from
India about openSUSE Asia 2019 bid.
I would like to know if there was any session about the bids for 2019
& if yes how many bids we have at the moment.
'Call for host' submission proposal deadline is 10th September 2018 [2]
But still it'll be good to know about the bids we have so far.
Thanks & Regards,
Amey.
