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.

Hi all,
Since the current NNTP gateway by MicoFocus is being shutdown from Wed 19th of
June, there will temporarily be none. Meanwhile some of our community members
are working on replacing it, announcements about this will follow a.s.a.p.

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.
Regards,
Ish Sookun

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.
Cheers
MH

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?
Cheers,
Dan

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
