Re: [opensuse-project] huge amount of SPAM on opensuse-connect

I made my proposal already and I stand the point: shut down an insecure system! what does "drive forward a solution" mean? Can we integrate the functions of connect.o.o into other services at openSUSE which are allready maintained like the openSUSE wiki? A form for travel support for example? An application for membership could be done by e-mail to an e-mail address of the membership officials. Elections could be done with an eVote software like https://github.com/mdipierro/evote for example, but probably there are better tools. What did I miss? I think Lars is right an we should shutdown this insecure system as soon as possible.

[opensuse-project] "Abstain" an option for future votes

by Gerald Pfeifer

On the board meeting two hours ago we discussed adding an "abstain" option to future votes. We unanimously agreed. That is, future votings shall include "abstain" as a choice. Thank you to all who provided feedback! Gerald PS: We understand board elections allow a flexible number of choices, including choosing no candidate, so we do not see this as applicable there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Election Committee - Call for volunteers

by Ish Sookun

Dear Community, The openSUSE Board election is knocking at our door and we need to form the next Election Committee in order to plan and oversee the smooth running of this election. As the Board election rules [1] state, the Election Committee should consist of at least two openSUSE members. Gerry Makaro, volunteered greatly and dedicated much of his time in the planning of the Board election 2018 - 2019. However, he won't be available to help this time. His meticulous planning will be greatly missed. Currently, the Election Committee has two members, Edwin Zakaria and myself. This is the strict minimum that the Board election rules specify. It also means that there is a huge amount of work to be done in a short lapse of time. Therefore, we are calling for volunteers, who wish to join the Election Committee and help with the election planning. Note that by joining the Election Committee you won't be eligible to run as Board candidate.

[opensuse-project] postmaster@suse.de and spam on opensuse.org addresses

by Mathias Homann

Hi, I think I've already posted about this, but I think there really needs to be done something. About 75% or even more of the spam I'm getting arrives at my opensuse.org email, and on closer inspection has been directly delivered to the secondary MX for opensuse.org. I take that spam, and feed it through spamcop.net which results in a complaint being sent to postmaster(a)suse.de, and I am getting the feeling that no one reads mails to that address, because in I don't know how many years I have gotten not a SINGLE reaction. >From the behaviour of "the system I can draw two conclusions: 1. that MX has no spam filter capabilities what so ever, not even something as simple as dns based block lists 2. no one gives a shit. I have already posted on that suse internal tracker thing that was suggested to me last time I said anything - and also no real reaction other than someone answering in a truly noncommital way, see https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/55838 so ... can I have some numbers about the mail volume on the opensuse.org domains? do we have to deal with the mail servers for opensuse.org ourselves? I mean, there is so much that *can* be done, spamassassin *with* DNS blacklists, postgrey, you name it.

[opensuse-project] Dead project on github: openSUSE/vagrant

by Dan Cermak

Hi list, do we have a policy how to address dead upstream projects from the openSUSE project? I have submitted a pull request to the openSUSE/vagrant project 3 months ago to replace it's current state with a set of new build recipes that I've been working on and that are now used to build the official Tumbleweed Vagrant box on Vagrant Cloud. Unfortunately, the project appears to be dead properly (afaik the main maintainer does no longer work for SUSE) and my pull request has only been reviewed by external contributors. Can we do something about this? I'd be willing to (co-)maintain this project, so that the build recipes can finally be public. Or I'd request a new project to be created and archive openSUSE/vagrant instead?

[opensuse-project] openSUSE - quo vadis?

by Thorsten Bro | openSUSE Member

Hi list, after a lot of energy put into a voting and a lot of time spent in writing mails to fill up my opensuse-project folder, everyone of the super active participants in this discussion I would like to see a talk submission for next openSUSE Conference or Summit near you or getting any other task for the project done. On my to do list for this weekend: - Trying to find a sponsorship for rsync.o.o, as discussed in Heroes meeting on Tuesday. - Thinking about how we finally solve the rsync.o.o fun. Let the work speak for itself for some time now and let's reduce the flood of mails. openSUSE - Alles bleibt so wie es ist... - everything stays the same... Best regards -- Thorsten Bro <tbro(a)opensuse.org> - Member of openSUSE Heroes - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes - Member of openSUSE VideoTeam - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Video -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
