Continuing last year tweaks of packman project we should proceed in the good work and reduce the packman to provide smallest set of packages possible on Tumbleweed (later on inherited by 43.0...).
One of the cool results planned is that on stock openSUSE Tumbleweed user will be able to run most of the multimedia apps and play youtube (this is already working) and also with addition of non-free repository being able to run netflix.
Looking for hackers with the skills:

Overall project was semi-successful. We managed to reduce items in the Essentials project and replace some packages on Leap 42.2 and Tumbleweed with their respective versions from OBS. Sadly the packman community maintainers vision kinda differ from stability we would envision from the repository thus we will have to discuss the plans for the long run multimedia solution openSUSE needs.

Significant part of goals of this project was achieved, multiple packages were replaced by links to Factory or respective devel project, some dependencies were submitted as maintenance update as well.
For me following was done:
- madplay - submitted to factory, linked on packman
- lightspark - submission to factory is being prepared, linked on packman
- msitools - submitted to factory, linked to packman
- png++ - maintenance update created, once published it can be removed from packman at all
- libcec - maintenance update created, once published it can be removed from packman at all
- libyajl1 - deleted from packman
- nas - dropped from packam and OBS (not secure, not used), dependencies were updated, maintenance update for gstremer to remove support was triggered
- perl-Audio-RPLD - on way to devel project in OBS

openSUSE on ZoL from OpenZFS project by jkohoutek
Idea is to have SUSE system with OpenZFS as root FS.
Why ZFS
Ways in which ZFS is better than BTRFS
Main goal
Have OpenZFS as install option in the installer and utilize zedenv Boot Environment Manager for SUSE updates install
Goals
- synergy of ZFS with dracut, so snapshots are correctly added to the grub
- synergy of zedenv with zypper
- before every update snapshot is created
- when new kernel or other package which requires reboot is about to be installed, the update will be processed to the new boot environment snapshot and grub configuration changed to boot to this new one
- integrate Root on ZFS as install option to the YaST
- configure Kiwi for the ZFS install images
Completed goals
- prepare ZFS pool compatible with openSUSE installation ✓
- install openSUSE with root on ZFS ✓
- boot to the prepared and installed system ✓
