Just now I happened to stop by https://www.opensuse.org, and noticed this: CONTRIBUTE TO OPENSUSE Be part of our community contributing with any of the following: Code or hardware. Firstly, I appreciate it is written in capitals, but shouldn't it still be "openSUSE" ? Second, code and hardware are the only ways to contribute ?? That seems a bit limited - shouldn't we be a bit more inclusive? I know the overlay that appears once you click "code" has more options, largely copied from here: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:How_to_participate Maybe it's just me, but when the first reply to "How to contribute" is "code or send us some hardware", that's a bit too limited. "Hardware" is surely not exactly the most common option either ... I honestly don't know what the most common ways are, although I expect code is certainly one. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (27.1°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes

Invitation to ALP Community Work Group (doodle for meeting slot)

by Lubos Kocman

Hello openSUSE! now when Leap 15.4 RC and Leap Micro 5.2 GA announcements are settled let's go now for something completely different. I'd like to invite you to a newly formed Community Work Group (or CWG) around the new *Adaptable Linux Platform https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ALP/Workgroups/Community We'll initially focus on transparency during ALP planning, prototyping, and related public communication, opensuse infra readiness . There are topics where we can already start working right now. The first desktop *workshop has shown us that we need to focus on areas such as single place for documentation, our "signature" look and feel, brand recognition, event calendar, etc. We will to turn feedback from the workshop into action items and ensure we have WG members working on them. We have a big opportunity in this regard since unlike SLES 15 , ALP is going to (and already being *prototyped) be built in OBS by default. If you're interested then please tell us which one of existing weekly community weekly slots (Tuesday/Thursday) should be used for regular CWG meetups https://doodle.com/meeting/organize/id/b68562Ve [0]https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/project@lists.opensuse.org/threa… [1]https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ALP/Workgroups/Community/Workshops/LeapD… [2]https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:LEO

Leap Micro 5.2 is GA!

by Lubos Kocman

Hello openSUSE! I'm happy to announce that our brand new distribution Leap Micro 5.2 is now Globally Available. More information and download links and deployment demo can be found at https://get.opensuse.org/leapmicro/5.2/ or our *release notes. Let me remind users that the main documentation source for Leap Micro is SLE Micro documentation referenced bellow. The same applies to Leap itself. We recommend to try our self-install image for VM and host deployments (see demo on download page). For security reasons images have no root password set so you'll have to use *ignition or combustion to set it up (unless you use the Offline installer). People who are interested in k3s use case should have a look at the recent *work of Atilla. the combustion should work on both SLE/Leap Micro and MicroOS. I would like to consider offering recommended combustion scripts as part of the image download/experience on get-o-o. Big thanks to all that participated!

ETA for Leap 15.4 RC is early next week.

by Lubos Kocman

Hello openSUSE! if you follow the Release Engineering meeting minutes then you're aware that we're a bit late with the delivery of Leap 15.4 RC. There are a few reasons. One of them is the fact that we've stopped using the snapshot mechanism for incoming changes after SLE 15 SP4 RC and the fact that SLES 15 SP4 was quite busy with post-RC changes including a mass rebuild last weekend. Since unlike prior 15.3 we're tailing SLES we will always be a week or two late from SLES 15. X RC. We were close to having a build last Friday/Saturday before the mass rebuild of SLES, however, we were affected by broken IBS->OBS sync which resulted in certain binaries missing, and that failed our product builds. Aside from our infra issue, we've also needed to eliminate build fails on x86_64 most of them were related to python Problematic python- cryptography was undecided until Wednesday https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1198851 The cryptography update will land as SLES 15 SP4 update therefore we've decided to temporarily remove related build fails. We will re-add them once the update python-cryptography arrives. The very last build (seamonkey) on aarch64 just finished and there are no planned changes to be taken into SLES 15 SP4 as of now. With that said I feel confident that we will have a new build today, I'll keep an eye on testing and if we'll have no significant regression we'll publish the current build as our Release Candidate early next week. Regarding the Leap 15.4 release which is currently schedule d for 8th June. SLES 15 SP4 had a Gold Master Candidate code submission deadline on Wednesday, May 11th. We can't make Leap Gold Master Candidate until SLES 15 SP4 will announce a final GM build. So we're currently blocked on further progress. According to my experience if the GM build will happen next week. Then we could aim for our GM the week after. Which would still be aligned with the current Leap roadmap. Any delay on the SLE side will impact our roadmap as well. At this point we can take only fixes for SHIP_STOPPERS. To my knowledge there are no *candidates nor *confirmed ship stoppers at the moment. The last one was Bug #1199388 Thank you very much for your understanding.
