Hi all, there have been quite a few changes within SUSE related to the Engineering Infrastructure team that I would like to share with you for reasons of transparency: - Kurt Garloff has left SUSE some weeks ago. We had a meeting discussing some of our current challenges & issues along with future options with him a few months ago. Notes have been taken [1]. We will try to stay on track with what has been discussed / agreed upon as much as possible. Feel free to remind us of anything we might have missed and/or fail to deliver! - The Engineering Infrastructure team, who is responsible for the openSUSE infrastructure within SUSE has finally a new team lead since late last year. Her name is Evženie Šujskaja (CC). - Obviously she is still trying to get a good understanding of the team and its responsibilities, but she is perfectly aware of the existence and necessity of the openSUSE infrastructure, the heroes and its responsibilities. - Feel free to contact her for any organization topics and whenever something related to the openSUSE infrastructure needs coordination with a representative from SUSE. - I will shortly be leaving SUSE. While I will try to stay as much around and connected within the openSUSE (heroes) community, I will definitely not have as much time and privileges to work on openSUSE as I've used to - also because I have quite a few challenges ahead in my personal life that will require a lot of time and attention ;-). - Please contact Ricardo Klein, Bernhard M. Wiedemann and/or Jens Daniel Schmidt (all of them CC'ed) for any technical questions/concerns that need attention from SUSE's side. At least one of them will try to be around in the monthly heroes meeting. - It is still a good idea to organize a yearly heroes meeting in person (in Nuremberg). Someone else will have to be the organizer / host next time(s), but please do not forget to think about it (e.g. in October / November / December). I'm still hoping to see and meet many of you by interacting in this and other Open Source communities, conferences, etc. In case someone wants to stay in touch more explicitly, I would like you to use my personal mail address (karol@babioch.de [also CC'ed]) from this point onward. Thank you so much for the good time and never forget to have a lot of fun keeping the systems up and running ;-). Best regards, Karol Babioch [1]: https://etherpad.opensuse.org/p/openSUSE_Infra
