ACTION NEEDED: Understanding the current mood and trends among our contributors
by Lubos Kocman 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hello openSUSE! In the past few weeks, a couple of different ideas have been proposed to define the future direction of the openSUSE Leap "successor" distribution. We've put together at the openSUSE ALP Leap Replacement Architecture meetings an informative survey to better understand the current mood and trends among our contributors and users. https://survey.opensuse.org/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=277484 We'd appreciate if get feedback from as many contributors as possible. ps. If you feel that you're both project as well as distribution contributor simply pick what you currently focus most at. Thank you very much in advance Best regards Lubos Kocman openSUSE Leap Release Manager

May be a good GSoC project to implement a mailman plugin for something similar to an Automod ** Short term proposal: Add text to confirmation email for new subscribers, that user agrees to comply with the code of conduct *** Blast a renewal message for current subscribers with the same terms. Remaining subscribed means accepting the terms and compliance with the code of conduct. = Board Meeting ends at 14:10 CEST = -- Neal Gompa (ID: Pharaoh_Atem)
