Current revision

This article is supposed to help you setting up your own initiative, sub-project or team inside the openSUSE project.

Communication

Feel free to use whatever communication channel fits your initiative best! If your people work best together with video conferencing then go for it. Its them that matter the most right? But what you should consider is interfacing with the others project somehow. The following three ways of communication are the most used among the initiatives in the project. To be able to draw in people from the rest of the openSUSE universe we would strongly suggest to have at least one or the following:

Mailinglists

The openSUSE mailinglists are hosted ad lists.opensuse.org. The are pretty simple to use just with your mail app. The advantage of working together via email is that time does not really matter. If participants are in different time zones or have a different schedule it wont hurt the conversation. Email is a pretty interruptive-free medium, People can answer when they want. It's also tends to be a thorough and permanent medium. Participants keep their mails they get and can reference to them later. New participants can use the archive to catch up on a discussion.

To request a mailinglist for you initiative just send a mail to the mailinglist admin. There is no administrative effort for you. Once you have your list you can just start using it.
