Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 15:00:54 Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic. 15:01:27 Hello and welcome to the openSUSE project meeting 15:03:38 The agenda is posted here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Project_meeting 15:04:05 but it appears that this is the agenda from the last meeting and no one got around to clearing it. 15:04:52 I know the tumbleweed topic is definitely not on the agenda today as sysrich is tied up in another meeting 15:05:25 With that I'll hang around for a bit to see if people show up for the meeting, if not we'll be done rather quickly. 15:05:44 There are AFAIK no open action items from the previous meeting 15:05:46 fine with me :) 15:07:08 hehe 15:07:24 I have a topic: oSC15 15:07:47 #topic oSC15 15:08:06 henne: go 15:08:07 oSC15 is heading straight towards the brick-wall 15:08:35 because Hans and Robin get next to no help 15:09:04 it's their first time organizing an oSC 15:09:09 OK, that sucks 15:09:17 so this is going to hurt us 15:09:36 if we as a community don't do something about it 15:09:56 Unfortunately I have been out of the loop for a while :( but I plan to catch up on e-mails meeting minutes and status over the holiday break 15:10:25 henne: agreed, thoughts on how to mobilize helpers? 15:10:27 yeah everybody is busy 15:11:02 but if we don't get this back to at least the status of oSC13 I fear this is going to be the last oSC 15:11:07 I'd assist, but that conference is held in Germany each year is it not? 15:11:12 especially from the financial standpoint 15:11:28 Dominian: no. this year it's in the Netherlands 15:11:36 Oh, then again, that counts me out :) 15:11:37 Dominian: but there is plenty to do https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/osc15/issues?set_filter=1&sort=due_date%2Cid%3Adesc 15:11:50 Dominian: that doesn't require physical presence 15:11:51 Dominian: the conference this year is in The Netherlands, but just being far away from there does not mean you cannot help 15:12:05 henne: I'm not authorized to view that page unfortunately 15:12:52 I would love to help in any capacity I can. I've had a lot of thigns going on lately that have kept my contributions to openSUSE at a minimum, except from filing a bug report for the latest release. 15:13:12 as in, new baby on the way so my schedule is... well up in the air really 15:13:20 Dominian: you are now 15:13:39 henne: ahh yes I see that.. thank you 15:13:58 yeah everyone is being busy 15:14:02 aye 15:14:15 still. we somehow need to pull this off 15:14:19 agreed. 15:14:30 oSC seems to be a big point for openSUSE throughout the year 15:14:32 henne: Agreed, Hans and Robin need more help 15:14:40 we need to mobilize people 15:14:49 especially people with oSC experience 15:15:28 unfortunately it appears that the part of the community that has focused on organizational and other parts of the project has gone to sleep :( 15:15:59 Anyway, no point in lamenting the situation. 15:16:55 Looking at this list, not sure what I could really contribute to.. Looks like a lot of these will have to do with physical presence at the venue or at least being located close to the venue to accomplish 15:18:20 Have you all thought about a call to action for oSC15? Push an email out to the opensuse members? 15:18:58 Well the meetings have been announced, I suspect attendance has been minimal 15:19:17 Yeah.. I catch the meeetings mainly as I stalk this channel :) 15:19:28 Is there a m ailing list that I'm unaware of? 15:19:49 I think some things just need to be "assigned" 15:20:22 I've not assisted with an oSC before so, if I can assist, I will, but looks like a daunting task to me being a noob :) 15:20:24 As far as mailing lists is concerned we have cfp for those that are/will be on the paper comittee (which I guess still needs to be formed) 15:20:33 ahh ok 15:20:49 Announcements are suppossed to go to the -project mailing list 15:21:54 I fear we can't wait for people to react to announcements 15:22:03 we have to pull people in directly 15:22:17 sending my subscription to opensuse-project now 15:22:19 henne: agreed, thus my statement about "assigning" stuff 15:23:17 so anyone willing to do that? 15:23:26 Well at least the list of tasks is pretty comprehensive, lots of stuff fro me to slug through over the break. 15:23:31 I will 15:23:46 ok 15:23:56 I just need another week to get some more monkeys of my back 15:24:08 opensuse-project a moderated list when it comes to subscriptions? 15:24:15 ahh there it is 15:24:19 just took it's sweet time 15:24:21 no it isn't 15:24:49 Starting next week I will make a serious push to catch up to oSC15 read all past meeting minutes e-mail go through the list on progress 15:25:01 then I will start poking people 15:25:06 what I meant was: pushing people 15:25:11 not doing stuff yourself 15:25:13 Ok I'm on the project mailing list now. 15:25:15 you can push yourself :) 15:25:43 but we need someone senior from our community to push other senior(a)s 15:25:58 Well I have to find out whom to poke for what tasks, thus I need to be up to speed first 15:26:05 k 15:26:07 :) 15:26:09 thanks 15:26:17 robjo: I'd love to help in any capacity I might be able to serve. I'm in the U.S., so not sure what I'll be able to help with. My wife and I will be having our baby next week, C-section, so I may not be able to respond in a timely manner at all times, hence why I'm a little aprehensive about commitment to anything right now. 15:27:09 and my apologies, I'm being pulled into a meeting.. I'll be back as soon as I can 15:27:20 Dominian: great I am in the US as well, for many things this is not an issue 15:28:15 * henne is happy with robjo joining in 15:29:24 I think there is little more we can discuss with respect to oSC15, we all agree help is urgently needed and we need to get the ball rolling at full speed in a hurry 15:29:48 true 15:29:55 #info oSC15 organization needs lots of helpers, it is time to mobilize 15:30:59 #action everyone who has a few minutes to spare take a look at the progress tasks https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/osc15/issues?set_filter=1&sort=due_date%2Cid%3Adesc and pick something that you can get done 15:31:23 #action robjo get caught up on status and start poking people 15:32:25 Do we have other topics? 15:35:14 #topic Board Elections 15:36:34 The board election process has started, see the message from the Election Commitee http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2014-12/msg00004.html 15:37:59 Anyone interested in being considered for election needs to send a message to the -project ML and the election committee election-officials at os dot org 15:38:11 os is ofcourse opensuse ;) 15:38:45 The period to announce your candidacy ends on December 22, 2014, 12 days left 15:39:46 OK, I think this is it, any last minute topics? 15:42:57 Thanks for attending today's meeting.
