Hi,

Just wondering, since it's not the first time that planetsuse.org doesn't work: was it ever discussed to move the planet to planet.opensuse.org?

planet.opensuse.org should indeed point to the planet IMHO. I wouldn't _move_ it there though if that means that it would be hosted in openSUSE's (aka Novell's infrastructure).

I'm assuming that the problem with having the openSUSE infrastructure hosted by Novell is that access to it is limited to some people.

Was there ever some discussion to start having some infrastructure outside of Novell? Or are there good reasons to not do this?

We do have a community server paid for by several people which hosts planet suse, software portal, webpin and other things. Unfortunately these things have to be organised informally, since there is no openSUSE organisation or even a ringfenced openSUSE fund that people can contribute to towards hosting costs etc.

Another problem is that the opensuse.org domain is controlled by Novell not the openSUSE project, so we can't use it for things like planet suse, software portal, community wiki et al without Novell endorsing the content therein, which we've been told is not possible for things that might link to patent infringing software for instance.

My question would be why not create a email account with google like we do with opensuse.us. Being a member I have my own sign on and can post to opensuse.us or use my own email there plus we have our own forum. I have to talk with the manager and see how this was set up but we do have our own set up independent from Novell to discuss events with openSUSE.
