The speaker will give a quick overview of features, challenges and opportunities for further development, but also, wants to provide a window into how to close the gap between users outside of openSUSE/SUSE and the openQA development team Santiago Zarate is the Product Owner of [Quality Engineering Core team](https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/qa/wiki/Core#Scope-of-QE-Core) at SUSE, they collaborate closely with the [Quality Engineering Tools Team](https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/qa/wiki/Tools#Team) and rest of the teams of the Quality Engineering department To know more about openQA - [Talk: Shortening the feedback loops between R&D and the real world with openQA @ SUSECON 2022](https://youtu.be/3HN61L7RzzA?si=cFKT5JkujLc-w3_n) openQA is one of the key elements that ensures the delivery of updates and new versions of operating systems, it is the heart of openSUSE's effort to deliver stable systems for our users, and SUSE's quality gate, used to ensure that updates and new releases of the operating systems aren't breaking operations of customers; however it is growing outside openSUSE, Fedora and SUSE, expanding to other distributions, so we need to start thinking how to collaborate further, and have a clearer picture for users of openQA's ecosystem and integration capabilities.
