Join me as we reflect on two decades of openSUSE—from its roots as a Linux distribution to its rise as a global community shaping the future of open source. I’ll share personal stories from my journey in the project, highlight milestones from around the world, and explore how openSUSE continues to evolve. Whether you’re a long-time contributor or new to openSUSE, your role in this journey matters.
