[opensuse-project] Notice of intent to candidate for openSUSE Board elections
by Mark Stopka 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

Dear fellow members of openSUSE community, I hereby notify you of my intent to run for openSUSE board seat, I have been a member of this community since approximately 2006, till 2009 I have been very active in the Czech openSUSE community. My career path prevented me from being as active community member as I would like to be, however that has changed in 2018 when I gained more free time and resumed an active role in the community, focusing primarily on packaging efforts. Currently my focus is dedicated to making openSUSE the number 1 Linux platform for Haskell development, as well as to provide as much as possible support that we as software project can provide to the emerging industry of open-source hardware such as RISC-V. With a seat duration of two years, I would like to achieve two goals beyond ordinary duties of a openSUSE board member, first goal would be to make openSUSE the number 1 platform for Haskell development, and the second would be to make RISC-V open instruction set architecture a Tier 1 platform for openSUSE project alongside x86_64 platform. I will elaborate more on these strategic goals during Phase I which, I believe is the appropriate time to present individual vision for this project on a timescale of 2 - 5 years, in the meantime, please feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions you may have regarding myself, my vision, or my candidacy. -- Best regards / S pozdravem, BSc.

[opensuse-project] Mailing Lists Migration 10. Nov
by Stasiek Michalski 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hi, After a few months of preparation we will be switching mailing lists over to Mailman on 10. November. The current plan is as follows: 1. 9. Nov 10:00 CET E-Mail sent out to all of the current subscribers of all of our mailing lists to notify them of downtime the following day 2. 10. Nov 10:00 CET Mailing Lists are frozen and LCP runs all of the migration scripts ;) 3. When the mailing lists are back up, an E-Mail is sent out to all of the migrated subscribers notifying them of the migration being finished and begging them to report any bugs I expect the mailing lists to be down only for a couple of hours, but in case everything goes wrong, the mailing lists might only come back the next day There is a wiki page link to which will be included with both E-Mails explaining the differences between mlmmj and mailman3: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_Lists_Migration We have already migrated: * opensuse-test <test(a)lists.opensuse.org> * heroes <heroes(a)lists.opensuse.org> * uyuni-announce <announce(a)lists.uyuni-project.org> * uyuni-devel <devel(a)lists.uyuni-project.org> * uyuni-users <users(a)lists.uyuni-project.org> * uyuni-translate <translate(a)lists.uyuni-project.org> Feel free to play around with opensuse-test mailing list to test how it works as well ;) LCP [Stasiek] https://lcp.world -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Survey: Understanding ARM user base
by Lubos Kocman 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Hello openSUSE ARM users! ARMv7 architecture is currently being challenged by the new "Jump" development model of openSUSE Leap. This new "Jump" process will use pre-built binaries from the corresponding SUSE Linux Enterprise release. Previously openSUSE Leap was sharing the distribution package sources with SUSE Linux Enterprise, but built them separately. As SLE stopped supporting 32-bit distributions many years ago, we have the option of continuing to rebuild the packages for openSUSE Leap on those architectures from sources, or to stop supporting those. We would like to understand our openSUSE ARM contributors and openSUSE ARM user base before taking any further steps. We really value your time, we don't expect you to spend more than 10 minutes on this survey. The outcome of the survey will be that we either continue supporting openSUSE Leap on ARMv7 in future releases (15.3 and beyond) or that ARMv7 remains an openSUSE Tumbleweed only option. The survey ends on Nov 20th November 23:59. Thank you openSUSE release team N��r��y隊Z)z{.��k�7��맲��r��z�^�ˬz��N�(�֜��^� ޭ隊Z)z{.��k�7��0��Ǩ�

[opensuse-project] Update on Closing the Leap Gap and openSUSE Leap 15.3 kickoff
by Lubos Kocman 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Hello openSUSE, I'd like to announce that we have a final no-Go for Leap 15.2.1 after talking to stakeholders or engineers working on blocking issues. **What does that mean? ** It means that we have developed at least an Alpha quality distribution prototype (openSUSE Jump) with almost finished maintenance support. It's just that it's not going to be immediately released into production as an intermediate release openSUSE Leap 15.2.1 (original GA date November 4th, 2020). **What are next steps?** Instead of that, we are going to use Jump as a basis for openSUSE Leap 15.3. openSUSE Leap 15.3 is going to be based on top of the existing Jump prototype from the very beginning. The development phase of openSUSE Leap 15.3 starts tomorrow (November 4th, 2020). https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap With that said, I'd like to invite you all for our small virtual kickoff event tomorrow afternoon https://news.opensuse.org/2020/10/28/opensuse-community-to-kickoff-session-… **What's the the current state CtLG implemnetation in openSUSE 15.3?** * https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Jump:OBS:SRMirroring (IBS -> OBS sync) * handling of update-info metadata in the maintenance setup * seamless migration experience (no manual workarounds) * Improve Quality of aarch64 and ppc64le in openSUSE Backports * Filtering of NDA content (NDA liftoff is after SLE 15 SP3 Beta 1) - end of November * ARMv7 question, SLE core is not available for ARMv7. We've received recommendation from PM on Friday, to rebuild all packages for ARMv7 in Leap (was out of scope for 15.2.1). I believe that TODOs above will be addressed by the time we enter the Beta phase in February 2021 or sooner. -- Lubos Kocman, Release Manager openSUSE Leap SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg - Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer

[opensuse-project] DevConf CfP Deadline
by ddemaio 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

Hi all, I want to bring your attention to DevConf.CZ - https://www.devconf.info/cz/. Typically this conference is the week before our beloved FOSDEM. This year it will be happening in mid-February. The call for papers is open until Nov. 1. This is a great opportunity to get your tech talk in front of 1,000+ developers. Each year, this free conference has this amount of attendees and people always ask me about having more SUSE and openSUSE project talks at this event. Seeing that this year's event is virtual, it should be much easier than traveling to Brno. Please consider submitting a talk. I'm sure the organizers would appreciate it. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
