Resigning my membership
by Jan Ritzerfeld 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

To the openSUSE community, Almost 20 years ago, I subscribed to the project's German mailing list. Unfortunately, in recent years, I've witnessed numerous discussions here ending poorly. While each incident could be attributed to misunderstandings or assumptions, the repeated assumption of bad faith and the subsequent aggressive enforcement of the Code of Conduct, including personal attacks, harassment, or violent language, contradicts the guiding principle of "working together in an open, transparent and friendly manner". So I've decided to resign my membership today, fondly recalling all the positive moments shared within the community. I've already unsubscribed from all of the project's mailing lists, with the obvious exception of this one. Have a lot of fun... Jan

by Lubos Kocman 18 Jun '24

18 Jun '24

Hello openSUSE! today's weekly meeting is cancelled because of parallel SUSECon. I expect that Thursday's weekly meeting will happen as we usually find enough people anyway. Pretty much all meetings next week will be cancelled because of the openSUSE Conference. Check https://calendar.opensuse.org/ in case you're unsure. Hope to see you next week in person! -- Best regards Luboš Kocman openSUSE Leap Release Manager

Hi all, Per a conversation some of us had at the community meeting last Thursday, we wanted to get discussions for the project started regarding this year's openSUSE Board elections. We listed a few questions in the minutes at https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/weeklymeeting20221103 You can find some of those questions in the 1103 meeting minutes between lines 48 and line 54. Please ask your questions (Ask us Anything) in this thread so we can keep the conversations focused and centralized for all the candidates and members who want to ask questions of the candidates. All the candidates are in cc and you can find their profiles at the board election wiki. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election v/r Doug

openSUSE Moderation Update
by Shawn W Dunn 10 Jun '24

10 Jun '24

We are pleased to announce that we've laid out a bit more procedure around our Moderation policies here within the openSUSE project. For the most part, things aren't changing in any meaningful way for most project users, and this initiative is just to help unify/normalize our moderation policies across our various platforms, and provide a single point of contact for Moderation issues, in particular, when one of our project members isn't sure *who* to contact, or if one of our project members has concerns about our Moderators. We have implemented a ticketing system on https://code.opensuse.org/project/mod-team A brief explanation of what the ticketing system is for, is lined out in: https://code.opensuse.org/project/mod-team/blob/main/f/file-ticket.md Additionally, we have prepared an explanation that clarifies a bit how Moderation is done within the project, laid out in: https://code.opensuse.org/project/mod-team/blob/main/f/moderation-flow.md I haven't had a chance to get this added to the openSUSE Wiki yet, but that is forthcoming.

Hello openSUSE Since we already have Leap 15.6 GM image, I did cancel all upcoming Leap Feature review meetings in calendar.opensuse.org. We'll reschedule them again after the openSUSE Conference , I expect we'll mostly focus on Leap 16 feature set.
