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voter list and report issues such as bounced voter-credential emails, giving the Membership team early visibility into outdated or inactive accounts.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.
