"Why do I need to talk with openSUSE Advocate, I did nothing wrong, against the law I don't need a Advocate"
That may be a valid concern. I work with lawyers all the time, so I'm used to the word "advocate" being used routinely.
But I can't think of advocate being used by a high tech firms. You guys may not like it any better, but I have seen evangelist used a lot by high tech firms, so a openSUSE evangelist might be a reasonable alternative.
Having worked in such high tech firms during the internet bubble, to me "evangelist" implies a lot of marketing, bordering on bigotry :-(.
I have no issue with "Advocate" (although it also means "lawyer" in my native language). To me, "Advocate" and "Ambassador" both have some connotations of being officially assigned. My favourite is "Geeko" as also proposed by Carlos.
