Hi All, We had a nice long discussion during the Project Meeting in IRC today, minutes are below: * Tumbleweed Feedback was given about the timing of the merger, the nature of the announcements, and the lack of a broader discussion in the Project before the decision to merge the two rolling releases. sysrich (Richard Brown) explained that these issues were caused by a desire to have the situation clear for Tumbleweed users before the release, mixed in with unavailability caused by travel surrounding openSUSE summit. sysrich apologised, accepted the feedback, and agreed that standard practices should have been followed like involving the News team before making the announcement and starting a discussion/heads up to the opensuse-factory mailinglist at the earliest opportunity. * AoB * News/Marketing Teams It was suggested that the News and Marketing Teams should be merged. Arguments against this include the fact that the whole point of the News team is to allow private news items to be discussed before they go public, whereas the Marketing team operate in the public. However, this did raise the issue that both teams and many of our other 'non-technical' areas of contribution seem to be lacking lately, and ideas were discussed on how to get more people enthusiastic, contributing, and (also very importantly) contributing to the right areas where the Project needs it most Ancorgs asked for help filling in the Major Features wiki page for 13.2 at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features which is still incomplete * Board Elections Board elections are coming up, we need Election committee volunteers and candidates, see the announcement on -project -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
