openSUSE:Project meetings 2021
2021
July, 24th of, Saturday
5-6 attendees.
The main thread running across the event was: fragmentation.
Community hub
1. Discourse may play an important role in curbing openSUSE's fragmentation ; Attila will ask the heroes if:
- we can avoid packaging
- we can avoid avoid migrating data
- if the issue is to avoid licensing issues, that should be said
2. connect-o-o is reaching retirement; perhaps we sohuld consider replacing certain social features with badges (Fedora Badges, something made in-house) in case they cannot be reproduced on Discourse
- even if they can be reproduced, making them independent of Discourse is good for sustainability
Spreading the world
Activities -- no matter how improvised -- should systematically be sent as announcements to all the relevant channels (news-o-o, the Telegram news channel, r/openSUSE)
- Jens, Martin and Adrien are working towards this goal with a community API
Visibility
If teams used Pagure, that would make their activities automatically more discoverable to interested contributors, and ensure better updates than the wikis
- better: setup teams connecting new users to contribution points (cf. Fedora Join)
- perhaps a strategy for motivating teams to turn a nice face to the community would be to offer them to document their worlflow and products
