Election Article (Lubos)

Deploying Membership Tracking Software on Heroes Infra

  • Lubos has been struggling to get it set up
  • Broken salt stack on Leap 16?
  • Implementing something new this late may cause delays in holding the election
  • The cleanups on the database can still proceed and be used to provide information for the election anyway

Technology Note

  • SUSE has an internal Kubernetes-based platform that allows employees to deploy internal applications quickly in a self-service fashion
  • It would be nice to have something similar for openSUSE - but we also recognize this takes a lot of effort to set up

Non-Technical Recruiting

  • Who will reach out to the marketing team to put together an (in)formal recruiting program potentially ahead of the election? Current ticket is https://code.opensuse.org/board/tickets/issue/81 members of the marketing team expressed interest in this idea at oSC 25.

Trademark Issues

  • Reminder to follow up on action items from previous meeting
  • openSUSE trademark guidelines don't mention cloud at all - anyone is legally free to redistribute unmodified openSUSE images on the CSPs
  • Don't want to discourage contributors from uploading images to new cloud providers, but coordination is required where there is already an official presence
