The openSUSE community is planning two Open Developers Summits in 2027, and organizers are calling for proposals for both events now.

The first summit is scheduled to take place on Feb. 18, 2027, in Barcelona, Spain, held alongside SUSECON. The second is scheduled to take place on April 14, 2027, in Dallas, Texas. Both are one-day summits that bring together SUSE partners, openSUSE contributors, open-source community projects and enthusiasts for a day of shared ideas and collaboration. Whether you’re deep in the code or just passionate about open source, there’s a place for you at each.

Sake barrels at Shinto shrines are sacred offerings donated by breweries to honor the deities, pray for business prosperity, and bridge the human and spiritual realms.
Key Reasons for Sake Barrels (Kazaridaru)
•Sacred Offerings (Miki): Rice is a core Japanese staple, and historic texts call sake miki, meaning "the alcohol of the gods". Offering sake is a traditional way to please and welcome kami (spirits).
•Connection and Community: Sharing sake bridges the gap between people and deities. Drinking blessed sake during festivals brings good fortune and unity
•Brewer Donations: Breweries across the country donate these barrels to give thanks, ask for safe production, and display their artistic brand labels (komo).
•Decorative Purpose: Displayed barrels are called kazaridaru (decoration barrels) and are usually empty. Real liquid sake spoils quickly in open wood, so actual shrine ritual wine is stored separately in sealed bottles or tanks. (Google)

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is the most important Shinto shrine in the city of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The shrine is a cultural center of the city of Kamakura and serves as the venue of many of its most important festivals with two museums. Wikipedia
