Tuesday Meeting
* We plan to move the Tuesday meeting to 13:30 UTC and have it go for 60
minutes.
* Feedback was helpful to making a decision
software.o.o
* Will have a workshop. Finding a date for the workshop
https://doodle.com/poll/kxban48es58brz6n?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
* With software.o.o. proposal, there is a point about "Optimize filters
for package searches."
The Japanese community is using software.o.o. quite a bit and there are
some difficulties finding package using the web UI fitler. A package
search for openCV with the Leap 15.2 filter show results, but a filter
with Leap 15.3 does not provide a result for openCV.
* https://github.com/openSUSE/software-o-o/pull/1065 discusses this,
but the issue is not fixed
OPI: OBS Package Installer
https://github.com/openSUSE/opi
Sent a ticket to heroes to see if tsp.o.o can be fixed.
Swag
* Discussion on color of beanie & color of embroidered logo
Hello listmates!
I really gets surprised when I read this article in Linux Journal website¹:
"Say no to distributions made for specific purposes like Kali, CentOS,
and OpenSuse. OpenSuse is great, but it is made for enterprise use. An
everyday user won't ever need most of its features. To maintain it would
be a waste of time."
I'm an everyday user and openSUSE lives in my laptop and makes me happy,
and is not a waste of time to run "zypper dup" from time to time to
update my system.
IMHO Someone should answer properly about this "fake news" about our
beloved distro. Or publish an article in news.o.o saying that this is
not right.
Greetings!

Board Meeting minutes 20210913
Present: Simon, Axel, Syds, Gertjan, Neal
Guests: Maurizio, Attilla, Luna, Bill, Doug
Excused: Gerald
Board briefly goes through open tickets, no developments at the moment
** Foundation
Simon: Stagnation due to changes at SUSE, feedback from SUSE now seems to
change to more positive
Advantage DE: possible keep governance / legal structure
Other options: US, BE

Axel mentions that the Board has agreed that it does not want to change the
relationship with SUSE
Simon: This must come from community. To avoid it being seen as a way to avoid
taxes from SUSE side. We're aiming for receiving money, from sponsors
donations
(Summary of previous findings)
Neal mentions Linux Foundation could possibly help. Also noted that LF helps
with making American foundations, though they take a cut as part of that. We
can certainly do it on our own, too
Axel mentions US Cloud Act being a potential issue. For this and the fact,
that (open)SUSE has its roots in Germany, Axel proposes to keep the foundation
in Europe
Neal noted meeting that the CLOUD Act of 2018 already applies to us due to
SUSE using AWS and Azure and owning a DC in Provo, UT.
Simon: 2 ways to break a Foundation: GDPR, not doing proper accounting
SUSE providing part-time accounting, GDPR requests
Bill: a lawyer?
Simon: SUSE is willing to.. Trademarks owned by SUSE. If ™ owned by a
Foundation , that Foundation has to defend them.
Neal also noted that we might want to consider an arrangement similar to
how Ziff Davis did for their trademarks and brand when the company
split in two (Ziff Davis and Ziff Davis Enterprise), though that
arrangement no longer exists with ZDE being gone now.
Doug: most of our sponsoring is wider community projects: smaller conferences
etc.
Doug brings up a possible Foundation on Curaçao
Gertjan asks Syds about possibilities in NL
AI Syds: find EN versions of NL Foundation docs

Hi there, I am a first year B.Tech student in CSE. I came across your group
while looking at the GSoC page and was interested in the project. I would
really like it if you could give some tips and guidance. I don't think I
can contribute to the code immediately but would like to do as much as I
can. I have some basic knowledge of HTML and Python and can use Linux and
Bash at a beginner level. What should I do so that I can contribute to Open
Source as soon as possible.
Guys,
What would it take to get FreeIPA supported again? I work with a lot RHEL
boxes and a few Debian boxes. IPA great, because I can tie into a AD Domain
and use the same accounts account all box.
Yes, I could pay for Beyond Trust or Centrify. I could use Winbind. So far
SSSD seems to work the best.

Good afternoon!
I hope you're doing great!
My name is Giovani (aka giovcandido) and I'd like to join the openSUSE organization on GitHub. I've been contributing to opi. I'd like to help you guys to maintain this and other projects (in the future).
Currently, I'm a computer science student. But, I've been coding since 2014.
I learnt to code with CodeAcademy. Then, I joined a technical school. And now, I'm in college.
It's important to note that I've been using Linux for the past three years. Recently, I fell in love with openSUSE TW.
Hope you guys have space for me.
Best regards.
Giovani Candido
