Refresh connect.opensuse.org
a project by lrupp
Updated over 6 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

Connect is the "social network" of the openSUSE community. While this might not sound so important, the problem is that the tool is used for membership management and all the other "administrative" stuff for the openSUSE community, which makes it a very important tool.

The bad news is that - since years(!) - there is no-one actively maintaining the application. While the openSUSE Heroes keep the basic infrastructure up and running, they are not responsible for the application itself. Following the standard policy for such services, this would mean that connect has to be shut down immediately. But the openSUSE board heavily depends on this tool and asks every time when it comes to "shut it down" - to not do it.

So it seems like someone needs to find the time and work on at least a refresh of the application - or find something that is easier to maintain in the future.

    openSUSE Lounge by Ishwon

    Description

    openSUSE Lounge is a membership management platform for the openSUSE Project. It aims to simplify how we maintain member records, track membership status, and support election processes.

    The platform provides Membership Officials with an easier way to keep the membership database accurate and up to date. It also helps Election Officials export the latest voter list and report issues such as bounced voter-credential emails, giving the Membership team early visibility into outdated or inactive accounts.

    Goals

    This project seeks to make openSUSE membership management more efficient, reliable, and transparent.

    Long-term plans include enabling contributors to apply for membership directly through the platform and improving coordination between Membership and Election teams.
