I did talk to Doug and he shares the opinion that
opensuse.cz should point to localized content on opensuse.org
Content from http://suseportal.cz/forum could be set up at
https://forums.opensuse.org/forum.php
Doug: From my perspective, suseportal.cz would be a good url for an ISV
or partner selling suse products. I don't see a use on the openSUSE
side of things though.
So pretty much the same opinion as we've had on the yesterday's call.
That is certainly not the opinion that would have consensus on the meeting, it was left as an open item.
With that said, I have spoke with Anicka and a representative of a local SUSE products distributor and they would be willing to support financially, via
content creation
and with access to demo infrastructure for testing and writing reviews / tutorial such portal that would communicate the synergetic alliances between openSUSE, SUSE Linux and SUSE Rancher product portfolio.
If the consensus of the community is truly to let
suseportal.cz rot, I would kindly ask Lubos to DM me the contact details of a person with whom I can negotiate acquisition of said domain.
