Hi Manu,

this indeed is a very nice idea and you'll charge an open door if you'd like to put efforts into it. That actually also is our biggest problem here: Managing such an initiative needs a lot of motivated and substantial contributions/contributors. If you'd like to get started organizing it, we'd be more than happy! JFYI, the openSUSE Gnome Community started a similar initiative some time ago called "Helping Hands" [1], but unfortunately it rather failed from a long term perspective due to, you guessed it, missing ... Helping Hands :-)

IIrc, Bryen was the driving force here. I'm sure, he'd appreciate if you'd push this forward, covering the whole openSUSE Project this time with deliberated coordination from ground up.

Really looking forward to it!

Best, R

Hi All

Recently I came across these concepts which are prevelant among the UBUNTU community which I liked very much. They conduct online sessions teaching people all over the world about various aspects which include a variety of topics like packaging, python and more

I would like everyone to have a look at the following links

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom

One of the sessions which they conducted

Hope this might help us and we may also come up with something like this

I have finished my small backup paper and presentation to submit to openSUSE Conference 2010 and sent it to Royal School of Languages in Aveiro US English corrections. I've produced a small paper ~17 pages with the theoretical background of the contents shown in the presentation which I will make available on a later stage with the presentation under a friendly licence (needs to be compatible with Fedora CLA and openSUSE Licensing). If there is interest, let me know and I can prepare a small session over the IRC. The title is: "Service Marketing and YOUR FOSS Project" and it aims to provide information on how Marketing see's software and how it recommends people to look into it and promote it. Nelson.

Hello, I think that we can start this in a very simple way, witch IRC meetings like the Ubuntu example[1], and one simple wiki page to show what's going, or the next topic.

The idea is to invite openSUSE developers/contributors to talk about your work in the project for interested users, and again, like the Ubuntu example[1].

This way do not demand too much work.

Having an enthusiastic moderator during the day to keep the workshop ticking over, introduce sessions, point at wiki resources etc is very helpful and need not take a lot of specialist knowledge. We've run a couple of workshop days for the openSUSE KDE community where I've taken both moderator and specialist roles and it's hard work that way.
