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.

Christian Imhorst

We, the members of the openSUSE Board, strongly value the openSUSE
Code of Conduct and Guiding Principles:
https://en.opensuse.org/Code_of_Conducthttps://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Guiding_principles
Inclusion is a fundamental pillar of our community and the broader
free software and open source communities that we are part of, are
connected with, and value.
We firmly stand against sexism, racism,... and strive to keep our
communities open, welcoming, and safe for everyone to join.
As a board, we also believe that these principles that apply to our
openSUSE communities shall also apply to the events and groups that
we partner with and sponsor.
We are reassessing our sponsorships in that light.

Hi all,
We will have a marketing meeting tonight (April 28) at 18:00 UTC on
https://meet.opensuse.org/153marketing
The meeting later today will focus on a few things like screenshots,
timeline for release and an open discussion on other things we can do to
help promote the release.
We've been working on the release announcement for a while and have
finally completed it. The release announcement for openSUSE Leap 15.3 is
ready for translation. We have about 5 weeks until the release.
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) or
the language for those contributing to
https://news.opensuse.org/2021/03/10/a-message-to-the-opensuse-community/
I have placed the release announcement on the openSUSE wiki at
https://en.opensuse.org/Release_announcement_15.3. 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_15.3
We have social posts that can be translated at
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_launch_plan. For people
running an openSUSE social media page who would like to post the
content, please mark down the name for the person who will be
responsible for posting the content on the wiki.

Hello,
This is Nick Vidal from Rocket.Chat
We’ve been part of GSoC for 5 years now, and as a way to celebrate and
give back to the open source community, this year we are reaching out
to other GSoC organizations to provide assistance on setting up
Rocket.Chat to engage with students (pro bono).
Rocket.Chat is a leading open source chat platform, and we’ve been
using the platform itself to engage with our own GSoC students. With
Rocket.Chat, it’s possible to create private/public channels for each
student/project so that mentors and students can communicate, share
ideas, and keep track of progress both asynchronously and in real
time. It’s also possible to create integrations to display pull
requests, mergers, and issues directly on these channels.
Please let me know if you would be interested in trying Rocket.Chat to
engage with your GSoC students. Myself and the Community Engagement
team are at your full disposal to help. Our mission is to serve the
open source community!
Kind regards,
Nick

Hi all,
I want to give a bit of feedback from out marketing meeting we had
tonight. We worked on the flyer and updated the counter to reflect the
countdown.
We could use help from the community on the updating screenshots for
openSUSE Leap 15.3 for the various desktop environments and open source
tools. Please upload your screenshots to
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.3/Screenshots
We are also kicking around an idea about how we can have some sort of
social media badge, image or overlay,so that people can change their
profile picture to help raise awareness about the release of openSUSE
Leap 15.3. Ideas are welcome, so please reply to this if you have any
thoughts.
Please use hashtags#openSUSE #Leap153 when posting social media so we
can do some follow-up statistics on the hashtags.
Music lovers. The topic of a podcast has been brought up over the years.
Some people might want to do a local podcast as it has more reach in the
language. We think it would be a good idea to have the sounds of the
podcasts be similar to that the intro and outro music is branded. If
you are interested in this, please let us know. If people would be
interested in coming together as a team to develop this idea or a
podcast, please reply to this email.
Our next marketing meeting will be May 12 at 18:00 UTC in the bar at
meet.opensuse.org/bar
