My Contribution Plan for OpenSUSE

1. Join the localization work of OpenSUSE Chinese wiki, make some improvements as most of them had been translated.

2. Join Chinese localization work of new OpenSUSE system and related documentation

3. As I have never see Chinese ambassador from China mainland, I am hoping that I could be the first one and go for opening ambassador work in China.

4. With the help of ambassador work, I hope I could go further for SUSE promotion work in China.

As new ambassadors, I would like to send my answers for the following questions.

* What have you done already for openSUSE?  I have looked into Chinese opensource OS market, and got that there were definitely plenty of SUSE users in our China. But OpenSUSE lack of promotion work in Chinese market.

* What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Please tell us what you want to do the next 6 months.  A. Join as China ambassador to open ambassador work in China mainland.  B. Go for SUSE promotion work in China mainland  C. 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.
