openSUSE board meeting minutes (December 4)

Hello,

here are the board meeting minutes of Dec 4, 2018.

One of the items mentioned below was (finally ;-) already done: The 
membership rules were updated - I'm sure you've seen Richard's mail 
about that some days ago.


= Attendees =

All board members


= openFATE =

openFATE will be shut down in some weeks.

ACTION: Richard will send an announcement/reminder mail with the 
shutdown date (at least 1 week before actual shutdown), so that people 
have a last chance to backup (or implement!) a feature request


= Election committee =

We discussed some questions the election committee asked.

ACTION: Ana will send them an answer.


= Membership rules =

The board decided on new rules how to become an openSUSE Member at the 
face2face meeting in May, which make becoming an openSUSE Member much 
easier.
In the following discussion on the openSUSE Conference and the project 
mailinglist, everybody agreed with that change. However, the wiki page 
was never updated.

The board voted unanimously that the new membership rules should be 
applied now. (Sarah and Christian didn't vote because of a possible 
conflict of interest.)

ACTION Richard will write the updated rules, send the draft to the board 
(except Sarah and Christian to avoid a possible conflict of interest), 
and then update the wiki page.

ACTION: Richard will write to the election committee and explain our 
decision.

ACTION: Richard will write to the membership committee and ask them to 
apply the updated rules. He'll also ask which membership officials are 
still active.


= Merge board election rules and membership rules =

The board wants to merge the election rules and membership rules into 
one "government document". This won't change the rules, it will only 
move all of them into one document / wiki page.

The merge will be done as a separate change, after the membership rules 
were updated.


= Next meetings =

The next board meeting will be 2018-12-11, then we'll do a christmas 
break (but still read and answer mails). The first meeting in 2019 will 
be 2019-01-08.



Regards,

Christian Boltz

BTW mission statement sounds a bit like at the beginning of this
century.  Why do we need such crap anyhow at all?  Since ages the main
motivation to use a SUSE based system is written down in /etc/motd :)
