Hi All
We and this vBulletin instance are going to move from the MicroFocus infrastructure to the openSUSE Heroes maintained infrastructure on or about the 18th of May, 2020. At that time the forums will be read-only so we can backup, move and restore data.
How long will the move take, we expect a few days, but don't have a definitive time frame. The Heroes and Forum teams have done some preparation, in that we have a test instance up and can import the data once transferred, one of the main issues is authentication once we break from MicroFocus and Access Gateway.
Impact: It is likely that a password reset (maybe multiple) will be required. Once we are closer to the end solution we will update with more details.
While we are on the move, here is a small list of additional resources available to you all during the move;
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels
Mailing lists;
For Tumbleweed issues - opensuse-factory ML
Archive: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/
For Leap and anything else - opensuse-support ML

IRC and Matrix
There are a plethora of openSUSE channels on IRC (See Communications Channels) but we also have our own #openSUSE-Forums on Freenode as well as a matrix bridge, if you use the likes of Fractal or the web and matrix.org. Joining via matrix is as simple as: !join chat.freenode.net #opensuse-forums
