Gertjan, you guess wrong, I think. I have no idea what was "agreed upon", but if anything "openSUSE news" needs to be channelled first, not spread about in arbitrary blogs where only interested zeal... parties will read it.
Douglas DeMaio is busy updating news.o.o:
20/9 - New Repository Caters to Tumbleweed’s Nvidia Users 14/9 - New KDE Applications, PulseAudio Arrive in Tumbleweed 13/9 - Design Selected for openSUSE.Asia Summit 13/9 - Are Governments Held Hostage? Why openSUSE Supports Public ... 24/8 - Catching up with Tumbleweed Snapshots 22/8 - Cast your Vote — openSUSE.Asia Summit 2017 Logo 22/8 - openSUSE Leap 42.3 Cloud Images Become Available
It would have been good had someone posted "openSUSE to cease support for reiserfs in openSUSE 15", with appropriately detailed information. I didn't have the patience to look for the entry that announces the new openSUSE version numbering scheme, but I'm sure there is one.
I agree. The news.o.o site only needs that the people that create new things post there, instead of random blogs. Or also, if they want. If they prefer to post to their blogs, they could also copy an excerpt to the news.o.o site.
Now, if someone were to volunteer to update news.o.o with the long overdue entry "openSUSE to cease support for reiserfs in openSUSE 15", where does she turn and where she get the pertinent information?
Btw, there is an openSUSE news mailing list, with a total of 19 subscribers. I think the last non-spam posting was from Douglas in Feb 2015.
I was not aware of that mail list. Well, perhaps some robot could copy a portion from each item in the news.o.o site to an email there, with a link to the rest. Actually copy a portion or the whole, up to a size limit. It could even be html! ;-) And replies automatically to go to another list. And before somebody asks why don't I volunteer, it is because I don't know how to create such a robot, and no idea where it could run. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
