| Lars | What about (download) space for openSUSE Projects?
The Education Project has asked for download space months ago. All we currently have are:
- the Board redirected us to the Build Service people
- the Build Service people tell us that hosting directories/packages not directly created by the Build Service is not really what they want
So I think it's time to move the AI back to the openSUSE-Board to get a decision about the place where such "non-OBS" data should be stored. I even don't think about Online-Repositories (like the ones from openSUSE-Education) here - on Sourceforge or even on Novell Forge it is possible to get:
- SVN access (like git.opensuse.org, svn.opensuse.org [Whom should I ask for a new repository?])
- Mailinglists (like lists.opensuse.org - [Whom should I ask for new lists?])
- Wiki pages (en.opensuse.org [well, that's easy in openSUSE, puh!])
- File Storage (?)
- Bugzilla (has anyone from the community really tried to get a new "Product" or "Category" in the Novell-Bugzilla...?)
Comparing the openSUSE offers with the ones from Ubuntu (Launchpad), the story for openSUSE looks like:
- different, not well known places to go and ask for permissions
- no File Storage outside the Buildservice
- no easy to use/administrate Bugtracker (as admin, not user)
- every openSUSE service only available with a Novell Account
So, at the end, I want to ask two questions:
- Is it possible to get 60GB - 100GB space for the Education project to host the Online-Repositories and ISO images in the near future?
- Is there already a proposal/idea how to get rid of the above "cons" to get more "Hackers" using openSUSE?
