[opensuse-project] opensuse-user not on gmane any more?
by Jim Henderson 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

I just noticed today that the gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.user group is missing from gmane.org - did the project request the list be removed from gmane? Just wondering if it was intentional or if something went wrong somewhere. Thanks, Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Project Meeting Minutes
by Richard Brown 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi All, We had a nice long discussion during the Project Meeting in IRC today, minutes are below: * Tumbleweed Feedback was given about the timing of the merger, the nature of the announcements, and the lack of a broader discussion in the Project before the decision to merge the two rolling releases. sysrich (Richard Brown) explained that these issues were caused by a desire to have the situation clear for Tumbleweed users before the release, mixed in with unavailability caused by travel surrounding openSUSE summit. sysrich apologised, accepted the feedback, and agreed that standard practices should have been followed like involving the News team before making the announcement and starting a discussion/heads up to the opensuse-factory mailinglist at the earliest opportunity. * AoB * News/Marketing Teams It was suggested that the News and Marketing Teams should be merged. Arguments against this include the fact that the whole point of the News team is to allow private news items to be discussed before they go public, whereas the Marketing team operate in the public. However, this did raise the issue that both teams and many of our other 'non-technical' areas of contribution seem to be lacking lately, and ideas were discussed on how to get more people enthusiastic, contributing, and (also very importantly) contributing to the right areas where the Project needs it most Ancorgs asked for help filling in the Major Features wiki page for 13.2 at https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features which is still incomplete * Board Elections Board elections are coming up, we need Election committee volunteers and candidates, see the announcement on -project -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Upcoming board elections
by Robert Schweikert 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Yes it is hard to believe that we are already staring at the end of the year. With only 2 months to go it is time to get the board election process fired up again. As a first step we are looking for an election committee of 2 to 4 volunteers. The election committee determines the time line for the election process and determines which seats are up for election according to election rules [1]. We the members of the board believe there are 2 seats up for election, currently held by Peter Linnell, appointed after Richard Brown was appointed by SUSE as Board Chair, the other held by Robert Schweikert who is reaching the end of a 2 year term. This opinion is to be confirmed or refuted by the election committee. In order for there to be an election we need candidates that want to participate on the openSUSE Board. If you are interested in the governance of the project and are willing to make the time commitment please consider standing for election. As with previous calls for candidates we realize that it is difficult to predict the future. However, we asked that before you stand for election you try your best to examine whether or not you can commit to the board for the next 2 years. Having people step down is always a disruption. As far as time commitment is concerned not much has changed since the last election, please refer to [2] for a message to candidates, that still applies today. Thank you for your continued support of the project, The openSUSE Board [1] https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules [2] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2013-10/msg00064.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUT5seAAoJEE4FgL32d2UkNLgH/2cVbmlIuBvi5Ci1i4QgUKwn hRm2wwDhuQXUWGn6lKigW67b9xkcnkjEjybs8H5sKp/LUSb/cRM/wyL0gtCMSxi9 AFCW1soWBffWkI8+IKQdo+WbAJzAIA1yPM2Dgckibf5dbRsrzUzkzdBdspGIURbD BmiLDfbMIgiD3dw6bU/6kPEMrMtVKNgsnRnBh08i0GxlmLq6YQa5Qqikp7c+IXFX IxLA05Qb2q2EWQihxPHe5NV2bxVidjZNv/w/Zp1vRr3uPcpBm8TGrO/M1XelBLLW TrZhuebk+4XJ7ssYOeaucEzgrrurRBiS/bsR3Mmj/H6v2A6LTZNmgLJTqZflyuE= =j0Iz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] 13.2 Marketing Video Project
by Roger Luedecke 26 Oct '14

26 Oct '14

I was thinking of starting a video series on 13.2 when the Goldmaster becomes available. The idea being to set up a VM and give a video tour of the Installation etc. I was thinking it'd make sense to separate the videos; Installation & advanced YaST installer function>Introduction to GNOME 3.14 Shell with overview of design philosophy>in depth with GNOME applications and workflow>personal favorites, third party software, etc. I want to keep the voice over separate in order to allow other users to make localized sound tracks.I'd also need someone else to do the KDE video since I haven't used KDE in years. I'm also not especially familiar with VM and video capture from those, or what to really use for rudimentary video editing. Thoughts? Tips? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Marketing and 13.2
by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Disclaimer: this is not a rant, is a call to arms. We are quite close to the release of openSUSE 13.2. Looking at the state of Beta1 and RC1, I trust it's going to be a great release from the technical point of view, compared to previous ones. But a release is much more than just the software, and the comparison with previous releases is not so bright in other areas. openSUSE 13.1 was a GREAT HIT in the marketing area. Just take a look to all we achieved at https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/opensuse-13-1-release/issues/gantt?s… An insane amount of work brilliantly executed, including the press kit (absolutely invaluable), the sneak peaks (raising excitement every week) and much more. But what about 13.2? We had to delay the release of the beta because of the lack of an announcement! And we only had a draft for the announcement of RC1 the very same morning that it was released. We should all be extremely grateful to Kostas for taking over in both cases and coming up with the announcements, grabbing the information, coordinating the people and making it happen. What if we all try to go back to the 13.1 situation (with people pushing the developers asking for changes and highlights to feed the marketing beast) instead of the current one (with developers pushing in the mailing list to have an announcement published)? Greetings. PS.- Sending it to the project list because I don't feel it's just a matter for the marketing or news teams, but something the whole project should care about. -- Ancor González Sosa openSUSE Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] bugzilla proposal wrt internal bug reports not publicly visible
by Per Jessen 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

It seems I have hit a few of these recently, latest one today - it is a little annoying when one's report is marked duplicate of something one cannot see. I totally appreciate having two reports is a hassle for whoever is working the bug too, but given two reports A and B, could we perhaps disallow marking A a duplicate of B unless B is visible to the reporter of A?
