- Present: Axel, Gertjan
- Guests: Doug, Patrick
- 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
