Hi all,
There was a recent post on reddit
(https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/m1xl56/is_opensuse_leap_ready_to_be…)
that made us take a look at how to present our lifecycle page
(https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime) and info to be added to the marketing
of Leap 15.3.
There were several comments on reddit that can be summarized as there is
a lack of clear information on how long the lifecycle of Leap 15.x will
be going forward. When the info on https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime was
originally written, there was some clarity on major versions lasting a
minimum of 36 months. We know Leap 42 and 15 exceeded that lifecycle. It
looks like we're at a point where we evolved and need to provide a bit
more clarity for people based on the reddit comments
I propose we change the lifecycle page to include the following
sentences and include the info in the marketing of Leap 15.3 and beyond
(for the foreseeable future):
Leap *Major Release* (15.x) extends maintenance and support until a
successor.
At present, a successor has not been declared; Leap 15's lifecycle fully
aligns with SUSE Linux Enterprise.
There is a projection as of March 2021 that Leap 15 will extend to Leap
15.5.
Both major versions of Leap 42 and 15 were supported more than 36 months.
Any thoughts, changes, removals or additions to the above sentences.

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"?
Best regards,
Stefan

As such, maintaining 447 [1] openSUSE members should not depend on a
single tool. Especially not if the used tool has open, well known
security issues since years[2].

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.

Hi all,
I plan to have meetings for the planning of the openSUSE Conference
starting next week every Tuesday at 18:00 UTC on the opensuse-project
IRC channel. I'll plan to continue this until the conference in June. We
might switch the meeting over to discord and use the bot on IRC to
record the minutes.
We will be using venueless (https://github.com/venueless/venueless) for
the conference. I'm trying to get some documentation to better
understand the features. I have access to our instance at
https://opensuse.venueless.events/ If you want to know more about it,
there was video done last year here https://youtu.be/u95cNlC25Ic Some
of the features have changed. If you want to help with this, please let
me know. Otherwise, I'll see you on Tuesday.
If you haven't registered or submitted a talk for the conference, you
can do so at https://events.opensuse.org/. The Call for Papers is open
until May 4.

It was suggested I repost this here. I originally posted it in Project
on the openSUSE Discord Server.
"I don't know if this is the proper place for this to get attention
but I'll post this here anyway.
Firstly I want to praise all the people who contribute to the
required work to keep Tumbleweed rolling on.
The latest snapshot was a huge undertaking and much work was required
to make it a success.
So thanks to all those people.
That said however many people had a painful experience obtaining this snapshot.
For whatever reason there was much timing out and many had to manually
ride herd on the dup.
I don't think it is an issue of sufficiency of mirrors.
I think it has more to do with MirrorBrain.
It's just not routing people to the closest and most robust mirror.
Here on Discord there was much discussion of the multi day difficulty
in getting the multi gigabyte snapshot downloaded. Is there something
that can be done about this?"
This is a reoccurring issue.

How many years did we receive only a low number of Translation bugs?
But that is a good idea, if you can speak multiple languages.
Try another language setup and test other languages. That qualifies for
Bete test bug reports, too.
