What do we have to do at SUSE to get more people involve in the Release process?
I think the community (which of course includes SUSE) could look into ways to make it easier for people to pitch in and get involved, but more importantly I think we need to do a much better job at getting the message out there about how easy it already is to be involved in the release process.
I think one significant hurdle is simply knowing which jobs need doing. For people out there thinking "I like openSUSE, I would like to help out", the first thing is finding out what there is to do and how well it matches ones skillset.
Yes, and one step in this direction is to collect statistics on our packages and project (this is in the works) and make those statistics public and listing projects and packages that need help.
This need has been detected, discussed and we agree we need to take action. We are taking the first few steps and more are coming. As a general statement..... no numbers = no analysis = no improvements.
From the discussions we have had at SUSE, we all agree in the concept of public statistics from the public software belonging to the public project (openSUSE) coming from anonymous users.
Since this is a sensitive topic we will need to agree in the implementation.
Another step is to document roles and expectation levels to allow those who want to jump in to match their skills. I have also started working on this from a packaging and distro point of view.
This is a good approach. We need to do the same. Saludos -- Agustin Benito Bethencourt openSUSE Team Lead at SUSE abebe@suse.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
