Hi,
YaST is an open project -- its code is open source, there is a public
bug tracker, mailing list, wiki, etc. But there was one small area where
YaST remained somewhat closed -- SUSE internal IRC channel, where SUSE
developers discussed YaST-related topics, coordinated code reviews, etc.
Some of us recently noticed this discrepancy. After few days of
discussion the SUSE YaST team decided to discard the internal channel
completely and move to the public #yast channel on freenode:
irc://chat.freenode.net/#yast
This channel has existed before, but it wasn't used for coordinating
development and in fact many developers didn't hang there at all.
We hope this step will make it easier for the community members to
engage with YaST developers, start contributing, or just watch the
discussion and learn. It will also force us to be more transparent in
general, which is always a good thing :-)
