Hi all,
after reading https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members, I understand that I can cancel my membership status with
immediate effect and forever.
To become a "Member Emeritus", with a "way back" into the community in case things might turn good again, I have to wait
for the status request and just not respond to it. But the last such request was almost 3 years ago. IIUC I need to stop
all actions on the mailing lists (might be a good idea ;-)) and packaging (not so good) for the bot to pick me up.
So is there a manual procedure to follow to become "Member Emeritus"?
Best regards,
Stefan

As such, maintaining 447 [1] openSUSE members should not depend on a
single tool. Especially not if the used tool has open, well known
security issues since years[2].

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.

Christian Imhorst

$SUBJECT, someone should share the memo with Stefan...
- https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/856976
- https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/856971
He apparently feels a sole gatekeeper of a project that has 74
packages in total, 9 failing, 7 unresolvable including 2 years old
verilator that is linked to Factory...
Good luck taking on CentOS with this attitude, EDA space is not where
openSUSE can shine if community members act like they need to protect
their tiny projects, I have requested a separate OBS project for ASIC
and FPGA EDA effort, and was told to use electronics, so make up your
mind...
The facepalm is intended for a person on a BCC... 🤦♂️
Question: What can SUSE help you with to grow the community? Not to
place roadblocks in my way... I'd Stefan is such a roadblock, so
perhaps board@ can start removing community roadblocks also, I am not
facing any roadblocks from SUSE at this point. He rejected a valid
version update of a package which is not even linked to Factory or any
upstream, yet provided 0 specific issues with the request...

Speed of resolution is not really a good argument. One of the reasons
the support list was created (a Board initiative btw) was to move
support questions away from the factory list. I personally doubt if it
has worked, and you also seem to prefer seeking support on the factory
list?

Done :-) (well, a new thread, sorry)

I think the idea is good, but because TW is a main openSUSE distro, I
would not expect the majority of TW users to be hanging out on the
factory list.
> Bugzilla is simply not responsive enough in these emergency cases.
I'm sure we can all agree on that, but does that make it alright to go
off-topic on the factory list which is specifically not for support?

Just another openSUSE user in favour of merging the support list back
into the users list.
Hi,
How can I get my profile pix fix. Someone named Nycticorax shows up on
my profile.

Hello,
Members who have not yet cast their vote in the openSUSE Board Election,
please note that the election [1] ends tomorrow.

Hi all!
As the openSUSE Board election is drawing closer, with the ballots
opening on December 15 already, we want to invite the openSUSE community
to a "meet-and-greet" and QA live session with the candidates.
In the past weeks there have been passionate discussions on the election
and candidates, and we felt we had to answer the community's interest
with a proper setting.
In this video call the candidates will introduces themselves, present
their openSUSE board election platforms and answer questions. While this
might sound a bit formal we really want to keep it very informal and
relaxed for everyone. The goal is to give the community a better picture
of the candidates so they can decide whom to vote for.
## Time and date
Saturday, 2020-12-19 at 13:00 UTC
We tried to accommodate as many time zones as possible. We chose
Saturday to give people a chance to take part who are working during the
weekdays. Please find your local time accordingly here:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20201219T1300
## Location
We will gather at this Jitsi room:
https://meet.opensuse.org/meet-the-candidates-2020
The session will be recorded for anyone not being able to take part.
Furthermore we're trying to make a live stream on Youtube possible as
well to cover regions not that well connected to meet-o-o.
Please keep that in mind so if you don't want to be recorded it's better
to leave your webcam turned off.
## Moderation
Adrien Glauser and Vinzenz Vietzke will be moderating the whole event
together to make sure no questions get lost unanswered.
## Collecting Questions
As mentioned there will be lots of time for questions and discussions.
We will try to monitor the chat for questions as they pop up. But if you
already have questions to one or more candidates in mind please email
them in advance: vinzv(a)opensuse.org
That makes planning much easier for us.
If there a general questions on the event feel free to get in touch.
We're looking forward to a productive and healthy session!
Cheers,
vinz
