[opensuse-project] How we will use the GSoC money
by Vincent Untz 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hi, (let's see how a public discussion about money goes :-)) The Google Summer of Code brings us great students, but also means that the openSUSE project will get $8000 (if I'm not mistaken) at the end of the summer. That's $500 per student. A while ago, I requested comments on my blog about what to do with the money, but didn't get any feedback. So I take this as "do what you feel is best", and this mail is about the plan. As a reminder, the main issue is that we will likely not have the openSUSE Foundation created in time for this. For instance, Google would like us to get some form filled before the end of June; this is not a mandatory timeline, but I think it shows that we won't be ready with the Foundation for that. The current plan is to give that money to another organization we feel close to, and I have two candidates in mind: - the Software Freedom Conservancy (http://sfconservancy.org/) it's a really nice org that provides a home for various cool projects (see http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/) and those projects help make openSUSE a great project. - the Desktop Summit (https://www.desktopsummit.org/) it's one of the biggest event this year, and this would help us have some more visibility (since we'd be sponsors, I guess). I'm sure they would welcome this to secure their budget. Note that an alternative solution would be to leave the money to Google for a future GSoC or similar program, but I feel it's better to use the money where it can make a difference today. Now, it's not too late to change the plan. If you have a better suggestion, please tell us. There's no need to argue forever about it, just explain why you think it's good. Keep in mind that if we cannot receive the money ourselves, this also means that we cannot use it to buy stuff for openSUSE. Pavol and I will take the final decision since we are the GSoC admins for openSUSE.

docs meeting minutes 23-08-21
by Attila Pinter 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Please find the minutes below. ## Docs general - Docs team to move forward as community driven docs and move away from positioning ourselves as "official". This will mitigate problems we introduce to developers, maintainers which has been a long discussion along with potential legal issues. - Docs team (who wants to ) help out updating the wiki with relevant docs where we can and needed - Hoping for a bidirectional contribution - Cross-referencing from docs to wikis, keep a list of the pages we help out with - Knurpht: Git{hub,lab} considered as complex and not for docs in general - Adrien: we need to further lower the barrier of entry - Mailing list to be a channel for reviewing and sending in docs in plain text format for those who doesn't know git or want to learn it - Migrate to code-o-o to stay on the openSUSE infra - Mirror the code-o-o repo with the github repo - Adrien: Issue reporting should be linked section by section - Design to be brought closer to the openSUSE's theme - We will need more maintainers and reviewers, we must pursue this avenue further ## Video - Doug said that we could put up videos on the openSUSE YT channel, need to discuss further - Attila: start making video tutorials on week 34 -- Br, A.
