Building Community  *

   Need for more documentation on use of:*      o

       OBS

OBS has extensive user documentation on https://openbuildservice.org, however it doesn't cover packaging with the help of OBS, just usage of OBS tooling by itself. Explaining the concepts of RPM/deb/Arch packaging with the help of OBS in more detail would probably be a benefit to the service.

Duncan Mac-Vicar has written a excellent guide for this https://duncan.codes/tutorials/rpm-packaging/ we just need to reference it in more places or maybe intergrate it somehow with his permission.

   Blog posts, video content on new features in openSUSE.

     o

       YaST use cases

https://github.com/yast/yast.github.io/ could use some help, it would be great if YaST was explained in much more detail there. In general the site is focused much more on development side of things, but having some user facing documentation wouldn't hurt.

   Release media content for countries on their country specific platform.

     o

       Passwords and account name along with administrator/POC for the        account should be listed on the openSUSE social media wiki page        to keep sustainability of the account.

This does sound like a way too easy path to have a bunch of trolls infest the accounts, I would suggest having board be gatekeepers, so sending email to the board would result in getting the passwords instead. Having that fact noted somewhere on the wiki would be great as well.

I think the point is more that the wiki page should only be visible to certain people probably the board, but also Doug who is managing most of openSUSE's social media.

   Good to revive openSUSE Education distribution

Do we need a separate distribution for that? As far as I'm aware the only difference between Leap Leap and Edu Leap was additional software from an OBS repository. If there was a way to get that easier with the standard Leap, we could avoid having to set up another image to build (even if that's not that hard ;)

If those packages were added into Leap we could then do a separate build that preinstall's them and bypasses some of the installer steps like selecting a desktop to make the process simpler. openSUSE Edu was a well established brand that the openSUSE project could leverage by publishing a tailor made Leap install under that name.

   Find solutions for community to contribute to the heroes

Join the meetings Heroes have every month, they are very open to contributions, as long as you are willing to do your best ;) https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes#Communication

In my experience, it's one of the best teams to deal within the project in terms of communication, it just needs more contributors.

I think this point possibly ended up worded slightly wrongly, from memory we more discussed making it more possible for the heroes to do more, although it was a brief discussion as there is already ongoing work happening in this area. At the same time it was also mentioned that currently the heroes meeting happens at a really inconvenient time for most people in Asia. -- 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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
