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.

A note on principles (by the board)

by Gerald Pfeifer

We, the members of the openSUSE Board, strongly value the openSUSE Code of Conduct and Guiding Principles: https://en.opensuse.org/Code_of_Conduct https://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. Axel, Gerald, Gertjan, Neal, Simon, Syds, Vinz

Leap 15.3 Translations and Marketing Meeting

by ddemaio

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. v/r Doug

GSoC Student Engagement

by Nick Vidal

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 -- Rocket.Chat https://rocket.chat

Marketing Meeting Minutes from April 28

by ddemaio

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 v/r Doug

Leap 15.3 marketing meeting update from April 14

by ddemaio

Hi all, I wanted to send everyone an update from the marketing meeting we had yesterday. We finalized the release announcement (https://en.opensuse.org/Release_announcement_15.3 <https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/153release>) last night so the next step will be to send it off for translations, which should give the community a good amount of time to translate it. I want to send it out with an updated version of the social media messages on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_launch_plan, which will also need translations and people to post the messages on the local language social media pages. We will have another marketing meeting on April 28 at 18:00 UTC on https://meet.opensuse.org/153marketing The plan for that meeting will focus a bit on brainstorming, the imagery that goes along with the release and whatever gets threaded here before the next meeting. v/r Doug
