[opensuse-project] Translating the Release Announcement for openSUSE Leap 15.2
by ddemaio 25 Jun '20

25 Jun '20

Hi all, The release announcement for openSUSE Leap 15.2 is ready for translation. We have some weeks before the release in July. It would be highly appreciated if you could help to translate the release announcement to your native language and help promote the news of that release. Currently the release is only in English. Please link your translated version to the top and include your ISO 639-1 Code language code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) I have placed the release announcement on the openSUSE wiki at https://en.opensuse.org/Release_announcement_15.2. This is the single point from where I will take all the links of the translated versions. Please remember to link your translated version to your ISO 639-1 Code on https://en.opensuse.org/Release_announcement_15.2 If you have any questions, please let me know. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] IMPORTANT: openSUSE account migration - deadline
by Christian Boltz 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Hello, important and urgent note for everybody with an openSUSE account (used for bugzilla, the wikis, forums, buildservice etc.) yet: If you did not migrate your account to the new account system yet, please do so in the next 3 days (until June 18th). You can find more details about the account migration on https://idp-portal-info.suse.com/ [1] The actual migration is done on https://idp-migrate.opensuse.org (login with your old account, then set a password for the new account) The original deadline was end of June, but sadly it was shortened to June 18th. After this date, AFAIK account migration won't be possible anymore, and you'll have to create a new account (with a new username). Just to make it clear: the openSUSE account ("community account") is now a separate account, independent of the "commercial" SUSE account for which you received a mail about a month ago ("New SUSE User Accounts - partners and customers"). I'm only the messenger, so please don't shoot me ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] You can also find this link in the migration note on bugzilla, the forums and the wikis. -- ... you start off with a typical message, let's say a 2.5MB Word document containing three lines of text and a macro virus ...

[opensuse-project] Feature Requests
by Jason Evans 19 Jun '20

19 Jun '20

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? Thanks, Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] @suse.com unavailable 16:00 UTC today til 4:00 UTC on Monday
by Gerald Pfeifer 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Hi everyone, in luckily one of the last steps to complete the IT carve out of SUSE from Micro Focus, SUSE employees won't have access to our @suse.com e-mails from 2020-06-12 16:00 UTC to 2020-06-15 4:00 UTC. E-mails are not supposed to get lost, we just have been advised not to send, receive, or connect otherwise. (And realistically Monday may be a bit, umm, interesting for many of us. Wish us luck.) Gerald PS: Yes, it's now past that deadline, but I missed to hit send while on my train ride this afternoon. Let's see whether it gets out... PPS: @opensuse.org and @suse.de mail systems should not be affected. -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer <gp(a)suse.com>, CTO @SUSE + chair @openSUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-project] Update on petition to call for a non-confidence vote
by Ish Sookun 01 Jun '20

Hi Mark, I apologize for the slow flow of information. The online petition hasn't started yet despite the proposed date of 25 May. That is the reason why we did not post the wiki page and members did not receive any voting credential. We will update community members as soon as we have all information ready to run the online petition. Details will follow then.

== Attendees== Marina, Vinz, Simon, Gerald, Axel Guest: Doug deMaio Minutes taken: Axel Meeting start: 22.00 CEST == openSUSE Jitsi instance== Board tested the Jitsi instance and found out that IPv6 connections are not working properly. Switch back to old solution. Thanks to Marco for analysis ==oSLO== Doug aligned with TDF Team and TDF proposal is to move to virtual conference Cancellation fees of 50% for room apply anyway. Deadline for final decision is 21. July Most likely people from outside Europe will not be able to tavel in. Expected 90% participants from Europe Virtual meeting would give some more flexibility in terms of timing and deadlines (call for papers etc) Tool developed for the openSUSE virtual summit should be used. It is still being developed, but worked already nicely in the virtual summit Board discussed until when we need to keep the decision open Opinion within the board is not homogeneous. Decide today to go virtual ? Board voted 3-1-0 (pro/contra/abstain) Doug to prepare corresponding press release Doug left the call at 23:15 ==Non-confidence vote== Election officials asked for membership list from membership officials. AI: Gerald to follow up on this ==Meeting organization== Marina pushs to re-vitalize the use of the agenda-wiki. Collect items until 4 days before call distinguish public/private items send public agenda 2 days before call to project list Option for project members to join public part Dry-run fo next board call. Marina to drive Meeting closed 23:30 CEST -- Dr. Axel Braun <docb(a)opensuse.org> Member of the openSUSE global project board -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
