Re: [opensuse-project] huge amount of SPAM on opensuse-connect

Hi, Am Do., 21. Feb. 2019 um 15:32 Uhr schrieb Lars Vogdt <Lars.Vogdt(a)suse.com>: As such, maintaining 447 [1] openSUSE members should not depend on a single tool.

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.

[opensuse-project] Call for a No-Confidence Vote - Re-Election of the openSUSE board

by Pierre Böckmann

Dear openSUSE community members, this is a call for a no-confidence vote against the current openSUSE board. We should initiate a poll, asking the community whether it wishes a full re- election of the openSUSE board. Reasoning: In advance of the last board member elections Sarah’s application as a candidate raised concerns regarding the expressed opinion and wording. Those concerns were a matter of discussion on the mailing list with a lot of partly harsh words on both sides. Throughout the weeks before the election and throughout the election weeks Sarah’s application and its wording and expressed opinion had at no point been ruled as violation of Guidelines or the Code of Conduct. There has even never been any discussion about it. If there would have been any evidence or indication of a violation those points should have been a topic and should have lead to ruling Sarah out of candidacy. But for good reasons that has never happened. Despite those mentioned public criticism the *community members decided to legitimately elect Sarah* as a new board member. Later, like Marina states in her mail to the community in behalf of the board, 2/3rds of the board members decided in the weeks after the election to force Sarah to resign from the board due to claimed breaches of the guiding principles and the Code of Conduct of which there has never been any evidence or indication and has never been considered and discussed throughout the weeks before the election and the election weeks itself. Even worse, like Christian stated in an answer to the mentioned board statement, at least parts of the board itself breached the guiding principles and Code of Conduct in a very heavy way which even lead to Christian's decision to step down, too. As a result the community has been very upset about the incidents which are subject to this mail. Criticism and distrust in the board had already been around since Sarah and shortly after Christian resigned from the board but even intensified after the board decided to try shutting down speculations and discussions around the reasons for both to step down with their statement published by Marina. As a member of the openSUSE community those last few weeks and its incidents which became finally public are raising serious concerns about whether the openSUSE board is really still making decisions in the full interest of the complete community or rather is putting its own interests above those of the community and respecting the community's elections and the community's rules itself. Therefore we, as the electing community, should initiate a poll and see whether the needed 20% of the community members are in favor of making a clean new start by re-electing the complete openSUSE board instead. Kind regards Pierre Böckmann P.S. Though a few details have become known, we don't know all of the in-depth details. Therefore I want to assure that this mail is not intended to be disrespectful towards the board and/or its members as well as each individuals work in favor of the openSUSE project and the openSUSE community. Nonetheless we can not and should not ignore what has happened in the last few weeks and the unacceptable nature and disrespect towards the community elections outcome, rules and principles. Additionally I am well aware that not everyone will be happy or be agreeable to my proposal of a full re-election of the openSUSE board. Be assured, I took the time and thoroughly thought out this step and that I think that this proposal is in the best interest of openSUSE as a project and a community. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Feature Requests

by Jason Evans

Hi all, What is the best way to submit a feature request for Leap/Tumbleweed? For example, there is one package that is a little over a year out of date. If I had the time to learn how to OBS, I could build it myself and submit it but in the meantime, what the best way to ask? Should I ping the package maintainer or is there another way?

[opensuse-project] Update on petition to call for a non-confidence vote

by Ish Sookun

Dear community members, A call for the re-election of the openSUSE Board was made by openSUSE member Pierre Böckmann [1] on the 13th of March 2020. The openSUSE Board election rules [2] state the following regarding "forced re-election", « If 20 per cent or more of the openSUSE members require a new board, an election will be held for the complete elected Board seats. » Therefore, the Election Committee is setting up an electronic petition whereby openSUSE members can state whether they support a re-election of the Board by casting a vote. The procedure will follow similar rules as the previous electronic elections. openSUSE members [3] having an active membership will receive their voting link and credential on their member email alias. Once they log onto the voting platform they will be presented a question that asks: "Are you in favour of a re-election of the Board?" There will be only one answer to select and which states: "Yes, I call for a re-election of the openSUSE Board" Members who want to sign the petition to call for a non-confidence vote can do so by voting yes. The petition will allow the Election Committee to measure whether 20% of the community are in favour of a re-election. === Schedule === The petition schedule will be as follows: 25 May 2020 - Publish wiki page about the petition, its schedule & procedure - Announcement of the petition on the project mailing list & social media - Ballot is open 15 June 2020 - Ballot is closed 16 June 2020 - Result is announced on the mailing list We are hereby calling the community to comment on the above procedure & schedule. The deadline for comments is 20 May 2020 23h59 CET. Regards, Ish Sookun (on behalf of the Election Committee) [1] https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2020-03/msg00091.html [2] https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules [3] https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
