Hi Bryen,

Now you got me on surprise! I'm a suse user for some years now and this is the 
first time I hear about the Helping Hands Project. So maybe the problems is 
just about showing the user the right direction. I searched the openSuse site 
and even google to direct me to the Helping Hands site but no lucky. I just 
found websites about the gnome section of Helping Hands 
(http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/HowTos/Helping_Hands_Topics).

I would love to volunteer myself to help out the new comers as I would love to 
find help as I want to help on development. I'm a Software Architect willing 
to put my knowledge to some use and also learn some new tricks here on the 
suse project.

Right now I help some friends getting started with Linux and opensuse is the 
distro I always suggest them.

Best,

Gabriel
