Dear community,
Below are the meeting minutes from our last Board meeting.
= Board Meeting Monday 2023-01-02 13:00 CET =
* Present: Attila, Doug, Gerald, Neal, Syds
* Excused: Maurizio
* Missed: Gertjan
== First Meeting as new Board ==
* Neal created new Telegram group for the 2023 board.
* New board co-opts Syds as Treasurer again
* Doug, as new board member, to follow
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_best_practices#Joining_the_Board
and complete that page.
* Agreement (for now) to retain time slot for this meeting.
== OBS blacklist/reporting ==
* Doug brought up a concern about how to do this for inappropriate
content on OBS
* Neal suggests that the OBS frontend should be extended to add a
"report abuse" form to privately report things to the OBS admins (should
require being logged in). Fedora COPR does this to reduce spam and
ensure that COPR admins are aware and can take action when they
administrate the instance.
== FOSDEM ==
* Booth accepted
Meeting closed at 13:53 CET

Hi all,
I wanted to send off a report from yesterday’s Google Summer of Code
Workshop we did. We had 20+ attendees show up throughout the hour-long
session. We had a few new projects added to 101.opensuse.org. We also
discussed some items to help increase awareness for the projects we can
offer should openSUSE be selected as a mentoring organization.
Furthermore, we plan to have a meeting on Feb. 7 at 15:30 UTC to
finalize the projects we will include in our application for GSoC. The
submission deadline for the GSoC application is at 18:00 UTC on the same
date, but all mentoring projects should be listed quickly as evaluations
begin after 18:00 UTC on the same day.
If you are interested in being a mentor, please create an issue at
https://github.com/openSUSE/mentoring/issues and with all the details
and label it with a tag as either a large-size (350 hrs) or medium-size
(175 hrs) project. The submitter of the issue will be listed as one of
the mentors. Two mentorings (1 primary, 1 backup) are recommended for a
project.
We encourage anyone in the community to participate who is willing to
mentor as it can help with the specific projects/packages you may be
focusing on and serves as a great avenue to bring people into
open-source development as well as the project. If you have any ideas
for cross collaboration with other organizations/project, we welcome
that. Please email ddemaio(a)opensuse.org if you have any questions about
GSoC.
I’ll be serving as the admin and be submitting the application for our
participation.
Have a lot of fun!

Hi all,
The community meeting that normally takes place on Tuesdays at 15:30 UTC
will be replaced this week with the following workshop:
Tomorrow we will be having a workshop to collect project ideas for
Google Summer of Code mentoring and will also have students who want to
be mentored. I'll be sending in the GSOC application soon, so knowing
how many people are willing to mentor will really help with our
application. If you are interested in mentoring, please join us. It's a
great way to bring people into whatever project you are working on. More
details are at
