The board has been through this before, maybe it would make sense to invite some of the old board members to your discussions so we don't have to go through this again and again? :-)
We have a Richard who has been on the board for quite some time and has given us a list of options that the board has looked into in the past and decided were unfeasible / not possible so we are not looking at those and are instead looking at some other possible alternatives.
Simon I have to disagree with you on that. It is true that we are really lucky of having Richard in the board, who can give us many details about what happens in the last 5 years. But if there is someone who can help as to have the whole picture and who is willing to meet with us, I think we should really listen to him. If at the end the information we find out doesn't help us, it is not a problem, but that we missed some important information, then we have a big problem. I have already wrote two hours ago an email to the board mailing list to see what the other think and to discuss how is the best way that this can happen, so Simon let discuss it there instead of in the project mailing list ;) 2018-07-03 14:34 GMT+02:00 Henne Vogelsang <hvogel@opensuse.org>:
Be open about it unless you want this discussion popping up every once in a while, Foundation wiki portal is a great place to put that information
Fair enough. So why haven't you put it there if you already researched it and wrote an article about it? :-)
Please give us a little bit more of time to make a proper research of all the options and come up with a proposal. As Simon already explained, we haven't decided anything yet, we have just some ideas and we are trying to find out what could work better and there will be chances for everybody to give his opinion. The only reason why this was said now, it is because of the concerns about SUSE being acquired by EQT. But to be honest this is something we were considering before and I personally don't think that the relation between openSUSE and SUSE is going to change now. Even if it does, I don't know if having an openSUSE Foundation would solve the problem (but this is a problem that we at the moment don't have).
