[opensuse-project] Stepping down of the openSUSE Board
by Sarah Julia Kriesch 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Dear openSUSE community, I had run for the Board after the request to do so. I was really happy to be elected and be allowed to contribute there again. I have to step down because of personal reasons. I have many friends in this community. We will meet us again.

[opensuse-project] [Event invitation] Software Freedom Kosova
by Marina Latini 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hello Community, at FOSDEM the openSUSE community has been invited to attend the Software Freedom Kosova[0] planned from April 17 to 19. I was wondering if some of our community members from that area are already planning to attend the conference. This will be an important opportunity for sharing more about our project and strength the relationship between the openSUSE project and the local openSUSE community active there. As you already know, this year we will also co-organize and co-attend events together with the LibreOffice community, as part of the shared celebrations for our anniversaries. I know that the LibreOffice community is already planning to attend the Software Freedom Kosova. I already added this event to the events wiki page[1]. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

What Sarah mentioned above is one example, statistics perhaps, an "intro to openSUSE",... I assume many of the things Vinz has in mind. Gerald PS: I tried to find this on our web site and with Google and did not succeed, so maybe it exists and my search skills failed me here? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
