Hi all,

So the plan is to break existing mail addresses once someone becomes inactive? That makes it less likely that people actually use their @opensuse.org mail address because "it could go away". That also means less "advertising" for openSUSE.
I agree with Christian. Though I am not much active on the mailing list, forums and even IRC, I do happen to evangelize openSUSE with the resources I got here in Mauritius. The opensuse.org email alias is one of the "tools" that comes handy when promoting openSUSE, especially while contacting local institutions (e.g universities) to host events.
I'd propose to keep the mail address even for retired members (unless someone actively asks to drop it, or it starts bouncing mails).
I go along Christian's suggestion.
But why? you are an active member and want to remain one, you just have the misfortune of your contributions being unlikely of being automatically detected So with the planned procedure, you'll receive an email That email will ask if you're still interested in being a member You will reply Yes And you wouldn't become a retired member, you'd keep having your @opensuse.org email address...nothing would change People will only be retired if they choose they no longer want to be a member And if they no longer want to be a member, I do not see why they should still be able to represent the project with an @opensuse.org email address -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
