[opensuse-project] oSC19 date collision with EU elections
by Jan Engelhardt 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

As it currently stands, oSC19 is scheduled for May 24–26 2019. However, as circulated sometime last year (indications as early as April 2018), EU elections are to be held from May 23–26; in Germany specifically May 26. This is going to be an issue for those serving as recurring election judges in their local community (occupied more or less half a day on Saturday and most of the day on Sunday). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Indeed. In furtherance of that point, I am currently helping a colleague investigating an issue with their very new laptop that is struggling to boot with Leap/SLE in certain conditions. We have figured out that this failure to boot is _nothing to do_ with the kernel, mesa, Xorg, or almost all of the usual suspects that people request updates for in the name of hardware enablement. Therefore, we're currently having to experiment with changing _everything_ (ie. using Tumbleweed) and working back from there before filing the appropriate bug that we can at least scope to realise where the problem is. And when we get there, the appropriate maintainer(s) will find themselves having an appropriate bug report(s). And things will almost certainly be fixed. Such is life.. all software sucks in some way, things need to move forward to get better, openSUSE has the luxury of having multiple approaches to solving that conundrum. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Board Meeting Minutes 20181211
by Knurpht-openSUSE 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Please find below the meeting minutes as per title. Present: All == Lizards == The Board shortly discussed the future of lizards.opensuse.org, will be further discussed in the next meeting. == Members retired == The intention of the new membership rules is to let members retired keep the perks they get when becoming an openSUSE member. This needs some investigation whether that is technically possible. ACTION: Christian will find out. == GSoC == We briefly discussed the Google Summer of Code money, but need further info on which options we have. This will be rediscussed in the next meeting == oSC19 == The Board made a suggestions list in its retrospective of the oSC19. We are not sure if the conference organizers received that list. ACTION: Richard will (re)send it == Travel Support for oSC19 == After a brief conversation the Board agrees that TSP is the responsibility of the Treasurer, and that it would be good to have Andrew join ( one of ) the first Board Meetings in 2019 ACTION: Ana will invite Andrew for one of the next meetings. == openSUSE Asia Conference 2019 == Given the high estimates for TSP for the Asia Conference 2019, it was brought up whether it would be possible for the organising committee to find more local sponsors, then consolidate openSUSE's sponsorship money and TSP budget and spend those two amounts entirely on TSP ACTION: Simon will write to the Asia Conference committee == planet.opensuse.org == We discussed limiting the number of posts on planet.opensuse.org to one per day, main reason a user is posting quite a lot, mostly unrelated to openSUSE, could be considered spamming. Board considers removing the spamming feed. ACTION: Christian will find out whether this is even possible. == Merging Election and Membership rules == This proposal was on our table for a while, but given the fact that the elections season has started, the Board agrees it's better to wait until after the current elections. ACTION: Richard will look into this matter in the new year. == Ancient Board tickets == Progress.o.o still holds some old open tickets from previous boards, that need cleaning up. ACTION: Richard will take care of the old tickets and close them. And, as a last line of this year's Board Meeting minutes: The Board wishes all of you a Happy New Year. ======================================== -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a.
