Hi, Christian:
> <Fraser_Bell> Thanks. BTW: I would join Heroes and work on the Connect.o.o replacements, if I had any idea what I was doing. But, not till elections are over.
> <cboltz> :-)
> <cboltz> the important part of connect.o.o is handling the membership and maybe being a "phonebook" for openSUSE
> <cboltz> the other parts (groups, polls etc.) are more or less useless and can easily be dropped
<snip>
> <cboltz> Fraser_Bell: I also like the https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/$USERNAME pages so if you work on a replacement and keep them, I'll be more than happy ;-)
> <Fraser_Bell> Yes.
<snip>
> cboltz> oh, I'm quite sure someone will happily upgrade you if you promise to do the work ;-)
> <Fraser_Bell> cboltz: Wait until after the Elections, please, I am now down to 20 pounds soaking wet and red, bleary eyes!!!!
Elections are over. Let's get started.

Hello,
here are the meeting minutes of the 2019-04-02 board meeting.
If you prefer the wiki formatting, you can also read them on
https://en.opensuse.org/Archive:Board_meeting_2019-04-02
There are some items with a "feedback welcome" - if you want to comment
on them (or the other things), feel free to answer here or to board@
== Foundation/Independence ==
* we need to decide which way (e.V., joining an umbrella foundation)
makes sense - topic for the face to face meeting, feedback on
opensuse-project@ is of course welcome
* Simon will write up a summary of the options of umbrella foundations
* in general feedback from SUSE about becoming independent is positive,
but we've also heard a concern that independence could be driven by
fundamental things, not practical reasons
* if ever needed, we could ignore whatever SUSE does and go our own way
* a foundation / independence would make legal stuff like GDPR our
business
* Simon will talk to Ciaran how we could handle GDPR and other legal
stuff
== mail hosting using mailbox.org ==
We have an offer from Heinlein / mailbox org to make @opensuse.org mail
addresses real mailboxes.
Do our members want this? (Feedback on opensuse-project and @oSC
welcome)
== GDPR request ==
openSUSE received a GDPR request which now gets handled by the
responsible people.
== Cloudfest in Rust ==
We've seen the discussion on the opensuse-project mailinglist why
openSUSE wasn't at Cloudfest.
* base requirement (as always) is to have volunteers
* commercial booth prices are insane, we'd have to find out if they
offer free community booths
Regards,
Christian Boltz

Es ist halt nur nicht eine einzige zentrale Filterdatei. Vorteil ist,
dass die Anwender ihre eigenen Scripte verwalten (und sich dabei in den
Fuss schiessen können). Nachteil ist genau das gleiche. (^-^)

Hi all,
I need a little help to putting some content on the wiki page for
openSUSE Leap 15.1. I have started an outline template for Leap 15.1.
I'll have more time to work on it after SUSECON and the openSUSE Summit
in Nashville, but will still need some help generating content for it on
https://en.opensuse.org/Features_15.1
The screenshots page has also been created at
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.1/Screenshots The current images on it
are of Leap 15. Please feel free to add screenshots of 15.1. Just upload
the new image and update the text and links to the image.
The portal is created and the navigation bar will be updated closer to
the release.

Board meeting 16 April 2019, 2200 CEST
Attendees:
Richard, Gertjan, Marina, Christian, Simon, Axel
Guest: Doug deMaio
openSUSE Conference & sponsorships (Doug)
Doug reported on the ongoing preparation of openSUSE Conference 2019 in
Nürnberg. As we are not a legal entity it is difficult to collect sponsor
money. Doug working on a workaround
Shirts and Bags are about to be ordered
Doug has raised already the point that at least a separate Account would be
beneficial for the collection of donations
Board should narrow down the options on an organization and have an open
discussion during the public board meeting at oSC
Joining organization like SPI despite the x% charge? Still the issue that
there is basically nobody from openSUSE to sign a contragt with SPI - it would
be SUSE management
oSC 2020 Conference
There is a sound proposal from a team in Albania who organized already other
openSource meetings like LibreOffice conference. The community is young and
motivated in Albania.
Ideally we have new location decided by September.
Foundation model
A foundation (like the LibreOffice/Document foundation) needs at least 50k€ to
start-up, e.V. does not need this amount of money. Both models require a legal
registration, changes to statutes require court approval, basic settings, like
being a non-profit organization may even not be changed at all
LibreOffice/Document foundation started just from donations, and collected
this 50k in a short amount of time.
Discussion is ongoing, but looks like the e.V. is more empowering to the
community.
We will try to invite an insider from Document foundation for next meeting to
learn about pros/cons of foundation model
IRC/Discord/Telegram/Matrix/Chat structures
Most services are interfaced between each other in between (e.g. project
channel on discord and IRC).
Different types of users are preferring different channels - in general the
bridging of different chat technologies was accepted by the community
Some more volunteers are needed as IRC admins. Simon to raise call on openSUSE
News
Proposal/decision for writing minutes
Christian initiated the proposal: We should go round robin, with one
exception: Those who did not send out minutes in time has to write next
minutes. Accepted by all particiants
Meeting ended at 2330 CEST
For the minutes: Axel

Hi all,
We are a little less than a month away from the release of openSUSE Leap
15.1. I've put together some posts that we can put on social media. If
you would like to help translate or publish some of them, it would be
highly appreciated. You can find the plan in the English section on
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_launch_plan
Please post to whatever social media you might be using whether that is
fosstodon, Twitter, diaspora, facebook, etc.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
v/r

Hello,
== Foundation/Independence ==
* I would say to focus on resolving current issues with SUSE and do not look for changing this relationship dramatically. If there is problem with funds going to Project through SUSE - set up backup way to do this. Analogicaly with hardware donations. For other problems there could be other solutions. If joining some umbrella foundation solves current problems without generating pack of new then why not.
== mail hosting using mailbox.org ==
I do not want this, but I'm not against it.
I'm very lucky (as it seems) person to have no problems with spam filtering (as my e-mail provider does it) and sending from alias (as my provider allows it).
thank you very much and regards,
Patryk „Sanchez” Zera

Dear Geeko's fellows.
Last saturday's night April 6th, tigerfoot's main program had a serious segv that brought down my whole system.
To make it short, I've been extremely lucky about the fact that it happen at home, the swiss health care emergency team,
the rega ( https//rega.ch ) and all people during that night were all involved at a such great level.
Now a few day has passed, and even if the path will not be that short, I'm mainly out of danger.
Of course, some "details" have to change, and also rework about priorities in life.
First, I need to drastically minimize the in flow and as such I will unsubscribe most of the mailing list.
I also have to retire for an unknown time as maintainer of some packages, and of course my involvment in some repository will decrease to zero.
So if someone want to take the maintainer's role of one of my package, don't hesitate, try, ask for help to other mentors, send the SR
If it's not me directly, I trust my fellow repository maintainer to allow you to pick the role.
( You can find most of them here https://build.opensuse.org/user/show/bruno_friedmann )
I wish you all a perfect funny OSC19, a damn good Leap 15.1 release and all the best.

Dear all!
After upgrading to Leap 15 I always get the following errors when starting uü smbd (or nmbd).
Apr 01 14:31:29 herkules smbd[10591]: [2019/04/01 14:31:29.723286, 0] ../lib/util/pidfile.c:111(pidfile_create)
Apr 01 14:31:29 herkules smbd[10591]: ERROR: can't open /run/samba/smbd.pid: Error was Permission denied

Apr 01 14:31:29 herkules systemd[1]: Failed to start Samba SMB Daemon.
Disabling the profiles in apparmor solves the issue for me, but isn't there a better solution?
