Hi folks, We want to migrate all relevant contents from the wikis to the new docs, but we don't have time to flip through every single wiki entry. The help would be: 1) identify relevant contents 2) flag / mark the relevant contents on the wikis that they are going to be migrated 3) report to us and help us migrate gracefully (i.e. check the contents, format them, merge them, and finally replace them on the relevant wiki pages with a single link pointing to their new location) Can some of you help? Can you put us in touch with someone who can? Who can? Some definitions to avoid misunderstandings: wikis := everything under https://en.opensuse.org/ news docs := https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-docs-revamped-temp (soon on oS' Pagure instance) migrate := *remove* from, add to relevant contents := contents which: - apply to Tumbleweed - are up-to-date - overlap any of https://github.com/openSUSE/openSUSE-docs-revamped-temp/blob/dev/ToC.md, live at https://opensuse.github.io/openSUSE-docs-revamped-temp/index.html - have decent writing quality - have decent presentation qualities - are thorough and / or user-friendly Examples that meet all these conditions to fix ideas: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installation_on_external_hard_drive, https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_a_Printer, https://en.opensuse.org/Systemd-networkd "Category:SDB" in particular is very interesting to us. We want to be done with this by the end of next month (30th of September) so please do let us know if you can do anything to help us. Thanks in advance, Gratefully yours, Adrien PS: Why remove anything from the wikis? Because not removing creates a redundancy that over time will become a dead weight as the GitHub/Pagure docs will keep improving as the wikis decay (if you think you can prove me wrong, let me know, there is certainly some work you can help us with :D)

lifecycle wiki page

by ddemaio

Hi all, There was a recent post on reddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/m1xl56/is_opensuse_leap_ready_to_be…) that made us take a look at how to present our lifecycle page (https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime) and info to be added to the marketing of Leap 15.3. There were several comments on reddit that can be summarized as there is a lack of clear information on how long the lifecycle of Leap 15.x will be going forward. When the info on https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime was originally written, there was some clarity on major versions lasting a minimum of 36 months. We know Leap 42 and 15 exceeded that lifecycle. It looks like we're at a point where we evolved and need to provide a bit more clarity for people based on the reddit comments I propose we change the lifecycle page to include the following sentences and include the info in the marketing of Leap 15.3 and beyond (for the foreseeable future): Leap *Major Release* (15.x) extends maintenance and support until a successor. At present, a successor has not been declared; Leap 15's lifecycle fully aligns with SUSE Linux Enterprise. There is a projection as of March 2021 that Leap 15 will extend to Leap 15.5. Both major versions of Leap 42 and 15 were supported more than 36 months. Any thoughts, changes, removals or additions to the above sentences. v/r Doug

openSUSE Leap 15.4 roadmap

by Lubos Kocman

Hello openSUSE! I'd like to share with you an initial roadmap for Leap 15.4 https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap As you would expect, the openSUSE Leap 15.4 roadmap is heavily influenced by the SLE 15 SP4 schedule. We essentially have to have the same deadlines by the binary-identical design. If anything changes on the SLE side we would then have to reflect the change as well. There are a few things I'd like to mention. There will be extra time for the GM availability compared to 15.4. We have to wait for SLE GM, and the current proposal would give us less than a week if we'd aim for the usual Wednesday. There is an explicit listing of early heads up to the openSUSE maintenance when we have Beta available. This is to kickstart early maintenance setup testing to avoid similar update issues we've seen in 15.3. Engineering interlock that will happen in about a month from now is also explicitly listed. Commitment from teams could help us to figure out whether we can get sufficient support for features such as https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/26 What would make sense additionally is to track Quartlery Update image refreshes for both 15.3 and 15.4. See recent openSUSE Release team meeting minutes for more context about QU. Thank you very much Lubos Kocman openSUSE Leap Release Manager

Regular Community Meeting: July 31

by ddemaio

Hi all, I wanted to send out an email before this Saturday's regular scheduled meeting. The meeting will take place at 17:00 UTC. With the deactivation of connect.o.o., I think this Saturday would be a good time to go over the membership application process we have established using connect.o.o. (https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members) and identify processes we will need to change so that we have a procedure established for when connect.o.o. goes offline. Last week we completed the software.o.o. proposal. I hope to give a status update on this during the Aug. 21 meeting. I'll be on holiday for the next couple meetings following this Saturday's meeting. Meeting Details Date: Saturday, July 31 Time: Meeting at 17:00 UTC Location: https://meet.opensuse.org/meeting Etherpad: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20210731 [1] Moderator: Doug Leader: Doug Supporters: attendees Topic: (Default Topic is completely a social meeting) connect.o.o and membership processes A copy of meeting notes will be sent to opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org after the end of the meeting. v/r Doug Links: ------ [1] https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20210724

Evergreen, where has the Long Term Support gone...

by Chuck Payne

Good morning, So, question. We use to have Evergreen which was going to be our LTS version, so that when a distro reached the magical .3 in the release, we could switch to Evergreen. I haven't seen anything on it in while, has Evergreen stopped? Do we not have any LTS version? I am switching a lot of systems from openSUSE 42.3 to 15.3, and I am saddened by the number of software packages that seem to have been removed. One of the reasons I started using SuSE back in the day was, it had the most packages, which was awesome. Here is an example, Nginx has a log of module packages that are no longer there. Oh, please don't tell me to go too software.opensuse.org, is great only if people keep their software up-to-date. I don't know how many packages I have found only to get that it going to do break major things. Even Tumbleweed seems to be losing packages.

Adrien has kindly offered to run a meeting at 11:00 UTC and the other meeting will take place at 17:00 UTC according to the results we had from the survey. I will attend the 17:00 meeting and have a proposal I will present to attendees regarding software.o.o. I saw the discussion from last week and don't want to veer away from the time we promised to do a meeting based on the survey. Adrien and I plan to chat about the two meetings and going forward over a couple weeks we can determine if we need something different or want to make it during the middle of the week or find some sort of rotating time. Meeting Details Date: Saturday, July 24 Time: Meeting 1 at 11:00 UTC. Meeting 2 at 17:00 UTC (per the survey) Location: https://meet.opensuse.org/meeting Etherpad: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20210724 Moderator: Meeting 1 is Adrien.
