oSC 16 Team have found that a previously favoured venue is available a week earlier than originally targeted for oSC 16. Price appears reasonable. Dates for oSC 16 are now expected to be somewhere around 21-26th June. Would not recommend anyone booking anything yet as further planning and discussion needs to be confirmed, but this should be finalised and formally announced soon.

TSP Michal mailed Stathis from the TSP team asking for clarification about the confusing messages about FOSDEM travel reimbursement. Did not receive a response to this mail, but anecdotal feedback suggests the TSP team have decided to consider requests for reimbursement for FOSDEM despite the earliest opportunity for people to apply being later than the usual deadline. If this is the case, the Board welcomes this action by the TSP team.

Election Board election underway - https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/polls/read/pluskalm/49480/opensuse-board-ele...

We seem to have 109 votes already (vs 150 last year), If you're an openSUSE Member then VOTE NOW - would be very nice to see a much higher turnout than last years election
