Hello everybody, Seeing as Ubuntu User Days and Open Week are coming up I have a idea for the openSUSE community to do something too. The idea of User Days and Open Week are that people run IRC based session about it like using Firefox, switching from another OS, and others. User Days should run over 1 weekend and try to have a session every hour like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDaysTeam/natty starting with a intro about User Days. Open Week would happen a week or two before a new release and should focus on the previous release as it turns it into the new *stable* release.
Thinking this would require a team of at least 3 or 4 people with monthly meetings and I am more then happy to lead the team if the community does not object.
So I send this email for approval for this and your opinion.
=========== Thank you very much, Ben Donald-Wilson
Hi Ben! First of all, I love the idea! Second, approval - we're OPENsuse, so if you want to do this, nobody can stop you ;-) I do not exactly understand the timing thing. This is meant to happen just BEFORE a new release? Does it not make sense to do it just AFTER a release so we can showcase the new features? In any case, you mention it's needed to have a (large) number of sessions on a variety of things. It might make sense to start a piratepad with ideas for sessions, then try to find people to pick and do a session etc. Cheers, Jos
