Make plan for recruiting more ambassadors from China mainland * Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE? Yes, of course * What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE? As an opensource one, no need. * Why do you love to do this? Most beautiful linux system * How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of experience? Actually knew SUSE when 2008,but started to get to know it in2009. Have gained so much experience of linux system such as fedora, debian and centos, so for daily use of SUSE, I think no problem. And hope that I could help more users of SUSE. -- Regards Manu Gupta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org
