Question to board candidates
by Christian Boltz 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

Hi board candidates, I have a question: What is your opinion about renaming / "rebranding" openSUSE? I'm looking forward to your answer - or even two answers, a personal and a "political" one ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Security does only work as long as it does not get into the way of whatever fills the fridge.

BCL GM openSUSE discussions
by Rick Spencer 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

openSUSE Community, First, I want to take a moment to re-introduce myself on this list. My name is Rick, and I am the General Manager of SUSE’s Linux team, responsible for all of the core Linux products that we make at SUSE. I have been at SUSE now for just over a year. tl;dr - In December, I had an AMA with some community members to learn about the openSUSE community, and I am planning another one. Now that I have been in the role for a year, I would like to build a stronger connection with the openSUSE community. I kicked this off by organizing a meeting where folks could ask me anything (an “AMA” if you will). We discussed the “rename”. What is the status of renaming openSUSE to something else? What is SUSE’s interest in it? In general, there was a clear desire to settle this question and move ahead one way or another, but for various reasons, the decision making process was stuck. There are strong opinions on both sides. The next topic discussed was governance of openSUSE in general. Some people expressed that the community can stall out as there is no clear way to set a direction. On the one hand, this low overhead approach where community members can accomplish the things easily is appreciated by many community members. On the other hand, others wish that there was a more streamlined way for the community to make decisions and move forward. Some folks thought it would be beneficial for the openSUSE board to have a more active leadership role. After some discussion, we uncovered that there is a governance process in place that involves voting by openSUSE members, and that we should use that existing process. We could even use that governance model to make other changes to governance if desired. The last topic that came up was the role of the Geeko foundation, and I promised to learn more about the history and current status. There were many many questions that we did not get to. I came away with some action items: * Follow up on the rename within SUSE. * Schedule another AMA. * Learn more about the foundation. Anyway, thanks for your time, and let me know what you think. Cheers, Rick PS: My personal blog is here: https://rickspencer3.weblog.lol/ PPS: My nick is "rickspencer3" on the few social platforms where I have a presence (such as https://social.lol/@rickspencer3)

Question to the candidates
by Thorsten Bro | openSUSE Member 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

Dear candidates to the openSUSE board, as I need to decide about my vote and carefully read through your introduction. I'm happy that we got some candidates together. I would like to ask you some questions which I guess would highly influence my choice. - What is your pet project at openSUSE - name anything that comes to your mind (e.g. code, wiki, whatever comes to your mind...)? - How would you react to an escalation like this[1] on the mailing list? [1] https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/project@lists.opensuse.org/thread/… - What's your opinion about flagging as welcoming community and inviting everybody to the project? - Can you explain to me, as I really want to get the bigger picture, how the future of legal setup the openSUSE project looks like? What is the status of the Geekos Foundation and what are the goals of the board regarding this matter? Thanks a lot in advance and happy hacking. Best regards -- Thorsten Bro <tbro(a)opensuse.org> - Member of openSUSE Heroes - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes - Member of openSUSE VideoTeam - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Video
