Hi Andrew,
I can appreciate that, although Fedora and Ubuntu will be getting some free press as their community heads are there (no I'm not getting at you - honest).
Understood. Of course, the show is organized by Jono, so of course there's Ubuntu representation there... :-) Again - I'd love it and would be happy to send some swag/banners, etc. to LRL UK if anyone from the community wants to run a table there, but the travel costs and whatnot for a show with less than 500 people make it a pretty hard sell, budget-wise.
Now I know LRL isn't necessarily the best of breed in OSS conferences, but one thing that it does have in it's favour is the relaxed manner of the event. As such I think it would be a missed opportunity if openSUSE was unable to have some form of presence there, and we could try and have an un-meeting there at the same time - even if it was done as an official BoF session. There are many members of different communities from distros (not just Ubuntu) to hardware hackers and anything in between, an ideal ground for showing Green really is the new Brown :) Nice slogan. ;-)
It's naturally true, but we need to get the word out to more people - we can't just have ZDnet be the ones praising openSUSE, they all do.
Very true. You will be seeing more press coverage, though -- but if you have any suggestions along those lines as well, please feel free. Are there any publications in particular that we're not hitting?
I may just take a soap box and become one of those dribbling lunatics standing on street corners preaching about how redemption can only be attained through the mystical powers of the geeko.
Be sure to wear a green robe...
Scarily I like the idea of speaking, problem is what subject? I'm open to suggestions, one issue is I'm no programmer so if it's going to be a real techie talk I'll need some homework with a tutor :-)
I think we could help there. A build service talk would be good, or a talk on the area(s) of openSUSE that you're particularly interested in would be good.
What do you think?
I try and not think too much, I tend to either hurt myself or get myself into serious trouble :-D
No one told you about the openSUSE bail fund? ;-) Best, Zonker -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager http://zonker.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
