[opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money
by Vincent Untz 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hi, (let's see how a public discussion about money goes :-)) The Google Summer of Code brings us great students, but also means that the openSUSE project will get $8000 (if I'm not mistaken) at the end of the summer. That's $500 per student. A while ago, I requested comments on my blog about what to do with the money, but didn't get any feedback. So I take this as "do what you feel is best", and this mail is about the plan. As a reminder, the main issue is that we will likely not have the openSUSE Foundation created in time for this. For instance, Google would like us to get some form filled before the end of June; this is not a mandatory timeline, but I think it shows that we won't be ready with the Foundation for that. The current plan is to give that money to another organization we feel close to, and I have two candidates in mind: - the Software Freedom Conservancy (http://sfconservancy.org/) it's a really nice org that provides a home for various cool projects (see http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/) and those projects help make openSUSE a great project. - the Desktop Summit (https://www.desktopsummit.org/) it's one of the biggest event this year, and this would help us have some more visibility (since we'd be sponsors, I guess). I'm sure they would welcome this to secure their budget. Note that an alternative solution would be to leave the money to Google for a future GSoC or similar program, but I feel it's better to use the money where it can make a difference today. Now, it's not too late to change the plan. If you have a better suggestion, please tell us. There's no need to argue forever about it, just explain why you think it's good. Keep in mind that if we cannot receive the money ourselves, this also means that we cannot use it to buy stuff for openSUSE. Pavol and I will take the final decision since we are the GSoC admins for openSUSE.

openSUSE Leap 15.3 Quarterly Update 1 was published
by Lubos Kocman 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Hello openSUSE! The openSUSE Release team has over time received quite some requests to provide regular refreshes of install media. Some of these 15.X requests date back to the 15.2 development cycle. The most recent request* is from openSUSE Board on behalf of DocB. The idea is to incorporate released updates into "refreshed" install images. Having Quarterly Update (QU) setup* done early and doing this regularly will ensure that we will react timely to various issues affecting bootable media. **Identification** Images will have 15.3-N in the filename to distinguish from the original GA images. N is the incremental number currently set to 2. **QU Schedule and Availability** Leap 15.3 Quarterly Update 1 File (*15.3-2*) are already available at download-o-o and is ready to be mirrored. See our roadmap* for more information about the schedule. get.opensuse.org uses -Current symlinks which already point a the 15.3- 2 content. The idea is that the user would always download the latest openSUSE Leap 15.X image available to the date. I'd like to also inform the community that a request to provide a self- update repository for the installer in 15.4 was declined on a regular feature review meeting, as we believe that the QU approach provides a sufficient way to regularly update the installer in openSUSE Leap.
