[...] personally, i have never understood the need for the open community to tie itself to Novell's iChain..
sure it _is_ convenient for the Novell employees and SLE_ owners who happen to already need Novell credentials to not have to be bothered with a completely separate system of access management (located in a place not encumbered with USA laws/politics)..
i do not know: does Red Hat also market an access management application and tie the Fedora Community to it..
or, could the community not administer access totally independent of Novell?
When we started the project, we needed iChain for bugzilla and it was natural to use it else where then as well. I think that the new connect.opensuse.org can help us to develop our own authorization infrastructure. Right now this is not the highest priority for those working on it but if some people want to help with that... But before we start developing, I suggest to write up what we want and how to do it - and answer questions like: Shall we go compeletly to openID? How will we access bugzilla? etc Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
