To the owners of https://github.com/openSUSE/, please add the github users "Martchus" and "mudler" to that org so that we can implement https://github.com/mudler/Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess/issues/34 and move https://github.com/mudler/Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess/ to https://github.com/openSUSE or can someone with ownership rights in https://github.com/openSUSE ask in https://github.com/mudler/Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess/issues/34 to be added as owner so that they can transfer the project? (one needs to be member, otherwise "You don't have the permissions to create public repositories on openSUSE") thx, okurz

openSUSE Leap roadmap and areas of focus for upcoming releases
by Lubos Kocman 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hello openSUSE! Some have asked for insight on the future roadmap and plans for openSUSE Leap, so I hope you'll like what we were able to come up with. openSUSE Leap is always based on the newest SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) available to date, which means we have to wait for the successor of SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 to become available for things to become more clear. This won't happen prior to Leap 15.5, so I've updated openSUSE Roadmap* to reflect plans for Leap 15.5. SLES 15 plans for even further Service Packs after SP5. But I strongly believe that we won't have to wait that long for a successor. Area 1: Userspace compatibility layer for CentOS workloads The goal is to increase compatibility with rpm packages from other distributions for easier installation and usage. This would make it easier to use software from projects where no openSUSE Leap packages are available, but for other rpm-based distributions. Neal has been working on Leap/DNF-based containers for migration on CentOS workloads. Area 2: Specialized workloads There are two reasons why to have a solution based on Leap and not on Tumbleweed. With Tumbleweed, the changes introduced are too fast and there will be specialized features that cannot simply be upgraded with the speed of changes in Tumbleweed. The other reason is that basing it on Leap makes migration to SLE, in general, more feasible. Ludwig is currently working on the initial setup for Leap-based Micro which seems to fit the story. Area 3: Playground to try new things In general, openSUSE projects are considered to be playgrounds to try out new things. Hence new ideas are very welcome to be tried and integrated and this is not limited as long as it does not render it useless or limit its use for others. We had ideas in the past to be able to give early access to some of the features that are planned for upcoming Service Packs. An example could be FrontRunner*. One of the ideas that popped in my mind that could be the case for early access in 15.4 would be an increased page size on aarch64 etc. Area 4: Trusted platform topic We'd like to increase security in general. This includes encryption and identity management services, trusted boot, and other elements that can increase security and data protection. One of the focus areas should be the 'ease of use' of encryption and security measurements. Area 5: Growing interest in openSUSE The goal is to draw interest into openSUSE Leap, increase download numbers and participation by the community. We could perhaps involve the official branding team to get new wallpapers, make us look fresh and modern.

anomaly on metrics.o.o.
by ddemaio 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi all, A big thank you to Witek for helping to get metrics.o.o. working again. It's still WIP and we hope others can contribute to this project at https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-release-tools/tree/master/metrics. metrics.o.o.'s tools are written in PHP and Python, so please consider helping out. You might notice the anomaly on metrics.o.o. with the numbers over the last month (see image at https://paste.opensuse.org/52176765). There were some missing logs at download.o.o. This data is the source for access metrics, so losing them as it happened in September causes problems. Please think of it before typing `rm /var/log/apache2/access_log*` ;) Working: OSRT Access OSRT Dashboard (partly) OSRT History OSRT Release (partly) Not working: (could use help) OSRT Comparison OSRT openQA OSRT Review OSRT Staging v/r Doug
