we also need a name for it! :-) It would be similar to the fedora ambassador or Ubuntu LoCo but most of us think that a unique name for it would help a lot.
How about (best proposals first): - Evangelists - Spreaders - Agents _ Representatives - Delegates - Emissaries
Greets, Andreas
Of all those suggestions, an emissary has the most dignified title. However, it still gives out a negative connotation in that an emissary is generally viewed as an outsider offering an olive branch of sorts. Like it or not, people still have a knee-jerk reaction when they see Novell (or SUSE by proxy). Example, with my IRC name, suserocks, I walked into an irc LUG channel yesterday and immediately someone said "Hide! It's the Novell lynch mob." Silly reaction, but 'emissary' does boost that silly perception.
Other possible words? (taken from a thesaurus) Envoy Attache Consul Minister (Minister ADemmer has a nice ring to it)
