  • Excused: Mau, Syds, Gerald
  • Missed: Attila, Neal

Proprietary software on OBS

  • Recent discussion on buildservice mailing list (post_1 post_2 ) about Oracle client created more confusion than clarification
  • Board should drive clarification, we need help from SUSE Legal
  • Questions...Why are we as a project tied to US export regulations? Servers are in Europe, no legal form. We accept that our sponsors may be, but not openSUSE as a project.
  • Doug to forward question to Cirian

Budget 2022/23

  • Fiscal year just started
  • Probably lower budget in current year, affecting sponsor activities, events and TSP
  • percentage of cut nor date of confirmation unclear now
  • (quite strange as SUSE wanted to push work on openSUSE)
  • Budget potentially only for oSC, FOSSDEM, Guadec, AKademy, nothing additional including TSP
  • SUSE Board ultimately deciding about Budget
