Present: Axel, Marina, Gerald, Vinz Guest: Doug (first topic) Excused: Simon == The Teams of openSUSE == * An idea was brought up to introduce the various teams we have in openSUSE, similar to the contributor interviews from the past. * Why? Share some of the goodness and options to contribute we have at openSUSE. * https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Teams was pointed out as an overview, alas some teams are missing. But it's a good start, and this is a good initiative per se and to help build out that page. * Side question: Do we want to propose to have the individual reports somewhere on suse.com in addition to opensuse.org? * Initial thought is to focus on opensuse.org and see whether we can do a summary/compilation blog with references on in the suse.com communities blog instead (to increase awareness for openSUSE from that angle). * This is not meant to replace or compete with "people of openSUSE" interviews, rather to complement. * Some concerns that not all teams/team members might be interested in this kind of publicity, but: never try, never know. == openSUSE Conference and GDPR == * Marina, Doug, and Ciaran (from SUSE Legal) are working together on GDPR related topics around the openSUSE Conference, which should also prove useful for openSUSE in general and a base for work on a Foundation. == Status of Foundation? == * Axel voices concerns about progress (or lack thereof) on a Foundation. * At the last openSUSE Conference Thomas Di Giacomo (SUSE Present of Engineering and Innovation) appeared supportive, but there's not been much progress since. * Gerald shares his personal perspective, from his own observations, insights into SUSE, and various conversations: * Best way forward appears to work out a comprehensive summary and proposal - Why? - How? (Foundation over eV,...) - "Project plan" - Requirements - ideas on funding * Need to share this and "sell" to SUSE. * Axel offered to create a first draft of a summary.
