Dear members,
Following discussions about the “openSUSE Project logo & name change”
that started in June on the openSUSE Project mailing list [1], the
Election Committee received a request from the Board to conduct a vote
whereby openSUSE members can indicate whether they are for or against
the project name change.
The voting will start on Oct 10 and end on Oct 31, which will provide
three weeks for members to vote. The result will be announced on Nov 1.
The voting exercise is limited to openSUSE members only.
The voting procedure will be similar to the board elections. Members
will receive a voting link on their membership email alias, i.e
@opensuse.org. Members should verify that their openSUSE email alias is
working and redirecting to the correct email address. If you experience
troubles with your email alias, please email admin(a)opensuse.org to
resolve the issue.
Members who wish to change the target address of their email alias can
do so by sending the change request to admin(a)opensuse.org.
Those who wish to become an openSUSE member they can apply for
membership by following the instructions specified on the openSUSE Wiki
page [2].
The Election Committee can be reached through
election-officials(a)opensuse.org.

Hi all,
I've been trying to catch up on this thread but it's getting a bit
unwieldy. So, I want to ask a question. Currently doc.opensuse.org only
contains SUSE contributed work. What needs to happen for a dedicated
section to be added for user contributed work?
I don't think the answer should automatically be, "put it in the wiki".
The wiki is fantastic for some things but it is also chaotic and some
things are hard to find.
I think it would be best if we had a dedicated set of user contributed
docs that can be edited in asciidoc. The source code would live in
github and then regularly updated with daps to update the online
versions of the docs. There really is no reason to write any user
contributed docs in docbook unless someone really really wants to learn
it. (see https://opensuse.github.io/daps/doc/daps-asciidoc.html).

Folks,
During the openSUSE Asia Summit's community meeting we discussed things
that should be & can be done. One of those was about the openSUSE
documentation.
I checked doc.opensuse.org.
I notice that all the documentation are currently copyrighted [1] by
SUSE. Although the docs are granted GNU Free Documentation License it
sounds proper to have the content ownership under openSUSE. Such a thing
should not wait for the creation of a foundation.
It also appears that the documentation workload is currently on the
shoulders of the SUSE documentation team (only). I would like to help,
more specifically collaborating with Kubic/MicroOS team to have a
Container documentation. How should I proceed?
Regards,
Ish Sookun

Currently we are experimenting in some openSUSE teams with a bridged
Matrix / Discord / IRC setup so that could be an option it seems to make
most people happy. There is already a #docs channel on openSUSE's
Discord group adding the others wouldn't be hard.
I'd also be happy to help, probably less from a writing documentation
side and more on the everything else that needs to go with it.

> After six years on the openSUSE Board and five as its Chairperson, I have decided to step down as Chair of the openSUSE Board effective today, August 19.
Richard, thank you so much for everything you've done for the openSUSE project(s), the community, the people (incl. sense of humour and really stretched jokes like well the... brexit one :)), and for SUSE too.
You'll be deeply missed in your chair role, even though still involved and contributing from a variety of angles.
> Gerald has been a regular source of advice & support during my tenure as Chairperson. In particular, I will always remember my first visit to FOSDEM as openSUSE Chair.
Let's see how Gerald will dress up now, for his first live appearance as chair :)
Really happy and excited that Gerald has accepted the challenge and together with the board, the community and SUSE folks, looking forward to keeping the good collaboration between openSUSE and SUSE and also to bringing improvements as much as we can.
Best,
