Hi All
Please welcome Craig, he is from Provo, USA and give him a warm welcome :)
We have a couple of questions for you:
* What have you done already for openSUSE?
I contribute to opensuse the following packages:
google-perftools
musescore
I run the Provo BuildService, an instance of the openSUSE
BuildService, for Attachmate.
I belong to the OPS Services team at SUSE, which does the checkins of
the openSUSE packages and the builds of the openSUSE media.
* What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Please tell us what you
want to do the next 6 months.
Specifically I'll be speaking at LinuxCon N.A. about the openSUSE
BuildService. I'll also be participating in other events, as
determined worthwhile and necessary by SUSE. I intend to become the
primary SUSE representative for the Ambassadors for North America.
* Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE?
Absolutely. I've been an evangelist of SUSE even before Novell and
SUSE merged. I run openSUSE on all my personal systems, as well as my
primary desktop machine at the office. (Of course I run SLES on my
servers.)
* What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE?
It's hard to keep secrets about something that is so good. I've used
nearly all the distros, and of course each distro has strengths and
weakness. And each distro goes through periods of "goodness" and
"badness." openSUSE is the most consistently "GOOD" and "SOLID"
distro of them all. Tumbleweed is probably the next awesome thing
that won't be a secret for long.
* Why do you love to do this?
I turned other jobs to work at SUSE. SUSE is simply the best.
* How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of
experience?
I've been running SUSE Linux regularly (and later openSUSE) since
2000, when my company chose to use SUSE Linux as the basis of an
appliance that we were building. At the time I was responible for
customizing the kernel to be highly I/O performant for our appliance,
with some significant configuration customizations and even some
changes to the source that my team contributed back to the community.
I'm a Linux internals expert, particularly with SUSE. My day to day
job involves deep knowledge of all the Linux and openSUSE internals.
The ambassador program is currently pretty informal and we expect the
ambassadors to organize themselves. So, please coordinate with other
ambassadors on the opensuse-marketing mailing list:
* share with them what you like to do
* share what you did, e.g. what kind of event did you organize, how
many people joined
* share what you learned, explain what was great at your event, what
you want to improve
* create material that is usefull for you and other ambassadors as
well
Regards
Manu
