You're talking about our infrastructure? Yes, to my knowledge that is not community-operated, that is all/mostly done internally by SUSE/openSUSE.
This isn't particularly true. 12 of the 13 services referenced in the bento bar (the black thing on top of all our sites) are maintained on github. The same percentage should be true for most of the stuff not referenced in the bento bar.
Apologies, I wasn't referring to the location/hoster of a service, but the people operating/maintaining it. I am including all of openSUSE infrastructure, obs, mailing lists, forums, websites, wikis, distribution. Is all of that really operated by the community and can anyone volunteer?
Like I've said, the services are maintained in github repositories and are deployed from there. Let me give you and example: 1. You want to prepare conference.opensuse.org for oSC14 2. You fork or clone[1] https://github.com/openSUSE/conference.o.o 3. You change things 4. You submit or send a pull-request[1] 5. You send an email to admin@opensuse.org requesting a deploy. Some services automatically pull github repos 6. PROFIT!!!
I've offered to help out in the past, but the usual response has been that it is done internally, trouble with authentication, access etc.
If you mean helping to maintain the underlying OS of the services, this is currently what we have shored off to the "provider" SUSE yes. This is something SUSE has promised to make possible for a while but it's understandable that they are reluctant to give anyone root access without "assurances". Like any other provider...
