I suspect Coolo (release manager) and Andreas Jaeger (openSUSE Program Manager) have far more influence on fundamental technical decisions.
certainly, and we have to thank them for the overall quality openSUSE have. I also read sometime ago that if anybody want to share the release manager task, it's an open choice... but I didn't step in :-(
The reality is a lot of the project "decisions" are enforced by tools like rpmlint and other OBS configuration checking tools.
among other things. How do you figure the release manager can act? I'm pretty sure moving a full time developper to an other task is something that is carefully checked by SUSE beforehand, specially when it's not about the direct money catching tasks. Else the release manager can just choose between what already exist. And openSUSE is not the only involved here, other distros are also When and how to make such important decision as changing the boot system is a really difficult choice. Syatemd could have been choosen since 11.4 at least as Fedora did.
One possibly trivial recent example of openSUSE already having a steering committee is the move from the old license tokens to the new ones from SPDX.
what move? what spdx do is not openSUSE. I was the origin of the openSUSE page and carefully noted on the top of this one the controversial status (it's still there). This is not something we can solve by a decision.
I think it is great that license tokens be agreed on between multiple distros, so I see this as step forward, but it is not something individual maintainers can make happen. It has to happen at the overall project level.
I was made aware of the fedora page and the fact openSUSE didn't have one, and I copied simply the fedora page to our wiki to allow discussing
Certainly it wasn't voted on by the members and it should not be. It is not something we need a full community vote for.
I see lot of licences approved there. May be less in a list than in the other and (not aving yet time tp read this carefully) it's probably a good thing. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
