[opensuse-project] Can one manually become a "Member Emeritus"

by Stefan Seyfried

Hi all, after reading https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members, I understand that I can cancel my membership status with immediate effect and forever. To become a "Member Emeritus", with a "way back" into the community in case things might turn good again, I have to wait for the status request and just not respond to it. But the last such request was almost 3 years ago. IIUC I need to stop all actions on the mailing lists (might be a good idea ;-)) and packaging (not so good) for the bot to pick me up. So is there a manual procedure to follow to become "Member Emeritus"?

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.

Request to add repos to Github org

by Avindra Goolcharan

Hi, I would like to move the following repos to the openSUSE Github organization: https://github.com/avindra/suserpmutil https://github.com/avindra/deno The suserpmutil repo has utilities for vendoring Rust and Go modules. The scripts are rather simple but they get the vendor tarballs created with minimal effort. The deno repo is a fork relating to JavaScript; it concerns packaging deno with advanced versions of v8. Also if possible, I would like to join the public list at: https://github.com/orgs/openSUSE/people Thanks, avindra goolcharan

Leap's yin to SLE's yang

by ddemaio

Hi again. A good symbol to go along with the release of openSUSE Leap 15.3 I believe is the yin and yang. I propose that artwork to market this release show the symbiotic relationship of Leap and SLE with a yin yang design. The imagery should help with the marketing. I put the topic in the marketing work group notes - https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/153wg. If you have any designs you want to share or other ideas on this topic, I'd love to read it. v/r Doug

Announcing a new Treasurer

by Gerald Pfeifer

Hi folks, today it is my pleasure to thank two of our members, which is always a nice thing: Andrew Wafaa, for serving as our treasurer for many years and helping with the travel support program (TSP) among others. And Syds Bearda for stepping up and agreeing to become our new treasurer. Syds has been a financial controller/accountant for 15 years, in a variety of businesses and freelancing, and is an expert in "everything with computers and numbers". There is not a lot of travel going on these days, sadly (and Doug has been skillfully helping with TSP), but hopefully that will change. ;-) In addition Syds and me will be looking to create a budget overview around openSUSE with the help of colleagues at SUSE. Please join me in thanking Andrew and welcoming Syds to the role! Gerald (on behalf of the Board) -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer <gp(a)suse.com>, CTO @SUSE + chair @openSUSE

Guys, Red Hat just announced a program where open source projects can get RHEL subscriptions for free - wouldn't that be a good idea for the build service?

openSUSE Leap 15.3 Beta will be slightly delayed

by Lubos Kocman

Hello openSUSE! we've had a beta submission deadline last Wednesday however all required changes were not yet accepted in SUSE Linux Enterprise. We expect changes to land today/tomorrow. This will then trigger quite some rebuilds on the Leap side. Keep in mind that openSUSE Leap 15.3 is newly based on SLE 15 SP3 binaries so we really have to mirror SLE in this regard. We were originally aiming for having some publishable build by this Wednesday* but this won't be the case. I'm optimistically aiming for having an SLE 15 SP3 Public Beta-based build in openqa by end of this week and perhaps something publishable by Wednesday. This of course will be all driven by the test results of the build(s).
