openSUSE:PublicCloud team

Kickoff

A newly formed team with upcoming kickoff event on Thursday 30th May 2024

Introduction

The openSUSE release team is taking care of building and releasing of all openSUSE distributions. It keeps an eye on

• The release of all openSUSE distributions
• The openSUSE:Factory project in the Build Service and submissions to it
• The bugs for the next openSUSE release in Bugzilla
• Feature request for openSUSE Leap or Leap Micro in code-o-o/leap/features

The team also tries to facilitate and take decisions regarding the direction and well being of the openSUSE distributions.

• #cloud:opensuse.org is the Matrix room our members hang out in
• Bugzilla is where we fix and track issues
• openSUSE Code is where we track our development progress.

Current members

• lkocman ^{Talk - Contributions} openSUSE Leap and Leap Micro Release Manager
• wombelix ^{Talk - Contributions} openSUSE User and Contributor
• Pharaoh_Atem ^{Talk - Contributions} openSUSE Contributor
• neilhanlon ^{Talk - Contributions} Enterprise Linux and Fedora Contributor

What do we do

We are trying to document our processes for various tasks we are following when maintaining openSUSE:Factory.

Building and distribution of openSUSE Leap is very different from the way how we build openSUSE Tumbleweed, as the distribution is based on inherited binaries from SUSE Linux Enterprise. As an example we do not use Staging for the changes to the based of the distribution, but rather only for community part of packages maintained in openSUSE Backports project.
