[19:42] schestowitz[TR2] Back when I worked at SUSE (and was an elected openSUSE Board member), this came up repeatedly. Every time it was shot down. [19:42] schestowitz[TR2] The openSUSE voting members wanted the change but SUSE corporate was adamant about keeping the tight control that a corporate controlled Chairman provides. And, since SUSE (the company) calls the shots and pays the bills thats how its stayed. [19:42] schestowitz[TR2] Right now, within SUSE, theres a fair bit of chaos. Last month they tried to convince people to voluntarily leave now theyre in the middle of laying off 10% of the workforce. Thats a key part of why were seeing people (like this VP) leave now. [19:42] schestowitz[TR2] As people are on their way out, ideas like make the Chairman an elected position are getting brought back up. But, ultimately, its up to the SUSE CEO if that actually happens or not." [19:43] schestowitz[TR2] "SUSEs VP of Engineering, Jeff Mahoney, has announced that he will be resigning and leaving the Linux company in January. [19:43] schestowitz[TR2] This is noteworthy for the openSUSE Linux distribution, as the Board Chair position is not elected by the openSUSE members it is appointed by SUSE corporate leadership. [19:43] schestowitz[TR2] As such, Mahoneys departure also means that openSUSE will be getting a new Board Chairman." ● Nov 06 [20:28] schestowitz[TR2] https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1m6rt0e9d#replies [20:28] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes- ( status 403 @ https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1m6rt0e9d#replies ) [20:28] schestowitz[TR2] " [20:28] schestowitz[TR2] While I may disagree with many of the current administrations policies and positions, I nonetheless appreciate its emphasis on advocating for and protecting the American worker. For decades, the system has been exploited in ways that have disproportionately disadvantaged American workers, often placing corporate and institutional interests ahead of those who sustain the economy through their labor. [20:28] schestowitz[TR2] Although I welcome and celebrate the results of this weeks midterm elections, I sincerely hope that the momentum toward greater accountability, economic fairness, and meaningful protections for American workers will continue under the incoming government. Political differences aside, safeguarding the interests, livelihoods, and dignity of the American workforce should remain a shared national priority." ● Nov 06 [21:54] schestowitz[TR2] " [21:54] schestowitz[TR2] hunger next summer / autumn:: https://yle.fi/a/7-10108308 [21:54] schestowitz[TR2] apropos hunger [21:54] schestowitz[TR2] (seed potatos burned up) [21:54] schestowitz[TR2] presumably more 'hybrid' action [21:54] schestowitz[TR2] " [21:54] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-yle.fi | En femtedel av Finlands sttpotatis gick upp i rk | Inrikes | Svenska Yle ● Nov 06 [22:11] *parsifal_ (~parsifal@2bkxv6kskvi2i.irc) has joined #techbytes [22:12] *parsifal has quit (connection closed)
