Foundation/Independence

  • we need to decide which way (e.V., joining an umbrella foundation) makes sense - topic for the face to face meeting, feedback on opensuse-project@ is of course welcome
  • Simon will write up a summary of the options of umbrella foundations
  • in general feedback from SUSE about becoming independent is positive, but we've also heard a concern that independence could be driven by fundamental things, not practical reasons
  • if ever needed, we could ignore whatever SUSE does and go our own way
  • a foundation / independence would make legal stuff like GDPR our business
    • Simon will talk to Ciaran how we could handle GDPR and other legal stuff

mail hosting using mailbox.org

We have an offer from Heinlein / mailbox org to make @opensuse.org mail addresses real mailboxes.

Do our members want this? (Feedback on opensuse-project and @oSC welcome)

GDPR request

openSUSE received a GDPR request which now gets handled by the responsible people.

Cloudfest in Rust

We've seen the discussion on the opensuse-project mailinglist why openSUSE wasn't at Cloudfest.

  • base requirement (as always) is to have volunteers
  • commercial booth prices are insane, we'd have to find out if they offer free community booths
