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. So, hrm, how can we change this? :-) I guess we can't change this easily in the short term, but does it make sense in the long term to have the opensuse.org domain controlled by, say, the board? (question for the board, I guess)
Why not, but I'm not sure this would actually change a lot. If you mean controlled on a technical level, I guess that's rather unlikely to happen.
Could you define control? Deckel controls opensuse.org and is happily changing everything we tell him to. So does technical control mean that we (whoever that is) vi the zone files? This is unlikely to happen for various reasons and I'm sure we don't want that.
2) requests such as a DNS change takes several months to be performed
This is really not true. It took me 5 minutes for my last DNS change to opensuse.org. A simple mail to admin@o.o does always the trick. In general i see this trend of working around the relatively(!!) small issues we have with grabbing everything and try to do it on our own. Yes there are problems with infrastructure sometimes. Yes there are structural problems we have with it. Yes there is communication involved that can go wrong. Yes there might be delays because of various reasons. BUT there is also a premium service we get out of this. One that we will have a very very hard time to deliver. I get the feeling this is often forgotten. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
