Firstly we have created a new opensuse-support@o.o mailing list
Can you please clarify what is the difference to opensuse@opensuse.org? I don't get it...

The board felt that have been many issues with the way at times opensuse@opensuse.org has offered support over the years this list as part of a community members assessment from the last days probably highlights some of the issues * off-topic posts * derogatory posts * abusive posts * rants * extended rambling * me too's We as the board are aware of a number of community members (including several on the board) who are willing to offer support to users but have since left the opensuse@ list or have mail filters because they thought it wasn't effectively fulfilling its role. There have been several attempts over the years to better focus the mailing list and improve the way it works none of which really worked that well and given the number of people that had left we felt the best way forward was to create a new list and hope that many of the people who previously left the old list join the new one. The board also discussed whether we really even still needed a mailing list for support or whether there was something else like the forums that would be a better place. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
