Ping from Nicaragua =) I'm the green guy from here (everything that include opensuse means me ;) ) http://en.opensuse.org/User:Alexio44 I can be the "official" contact for distribution here at Central America I always do the copy / paste of the images .ISO of the released version of openSUSE here at my country, in different cities / lugs (Managa, Leon, Chinandega, Esteli, Carazo, Granada) I also keep contact with lugs in CentralAmerica (El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala)
If you know of any LUGs that are looking for DVDs, you can also send them to the DVD order page that Martin announced last week. Note that we're intending to distribute DVDs for groups, not individuals -- we got a ton of requests for small numbers of DVDs (like, 3), which isn't the purpose of the system...
I think that a lot of people thinks that the order page is like https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ The way to ask for your free Linux Ubuntu CD... (normaly they send 3 - 10 at most) How can opensuse make a difference here ? :s ----- I have just asked for 800 - 1000 promoDVDs We are doing like 2 meetings / events per month, usually openSUSE events, but sometimes they are IT events where we get invited to present the openSUSE project Even when the meetings are about another distribution (ubuntu/debian/fedora/mandriva) we make a space and promote the GREEN distribution :) Greetings -- Ing.
