translating openSUSE brochure
by Jos Poortvliet 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello friends, Below is a link to a document which contains the text of a flyer we have developed for openSUSE marketing. If you're able and willing to translate this in your language of choice and send it to me, I make sure it gets integrated in the flyer so we can put these online for you and others to download and print as well as for us to print and send to our ambasadors! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/openSUSE%20Brochure%20final%20text.odt The sooner these gets done, the bigger the chance we can print a bunch. However, we'll focus on the 'bigger' languages and countries where people usually don't know English very well first. Thanks in advance, Jos

by Izabel Valverde 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Dear openSUSE, We're proud to announce the official kickoff of the openSUSE Travel Support Program. This program will provide openSUSE contributors with some financial support for traveling to conferences and events where they represent openSUSE. It's a quarterly budget which can support a good number of people. The funds are limited so we'll make the best to support as many people as possible. It's reimbursement mode. We'll reimburse after approved only hotel or travel or both up to 80% and up to the amount approved. All about the program can be find here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program We look forward to doing this! If you have any questions, you can bring it up at the next openSUSE Project meeting (Feb Wednesday 22) or email us directly. Best Regards, Izabel Valverde On behalf of openSUSE Travel Support Program -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org

openSUSE mirrors in Mauritius
by Nitin K Sookun 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Hello Geeks, I need some info to set up an openSUSE repository in Mauritius. Actually, I've been told by many people that installing software through repos is extremely slow compared to Ubuntu. This is because we don't have local mirrors. Receiving requests from many people, I looked around for a solution. I have one sponsor (Indra Cybercafé) who is ready to provide us the required hardware and a 4MB ADSL connection to setup the repository mirrors. Now, I'd like to know if I need to obtain permission from the openSUSE board or Novell before setting this up. Also, if someone could provide me the procedures to sync our machine with openSUSE repos.
