All excellent questions. I'd be interested in seeing how we formulate the hierarchy (for lack of a better word) of "spokesperson" per region. For example, I could see 6 representatives for the United States (because of its size) with one main representative coordinating the efforts of all others. Similarly, perhaps that main representative becomes assistant to a main continental or hemispheric representative/coordinator. United Nations of openSUSE! :-)
Suggestions? For the U.S. it's somewhat easy -- we can divide by regions (mid-west, northwest, mountain states, east coast, west coast, etc.) or by states, if we ever need to. Ultimately, this may be a problem that it's best to solve when it actually comes up -- our first priority will be attracting and supporting the local organizers.
One question, whom do you see being responsible for designating such titles on people? Novell/SUSE or the upcoming new Community Board? It is a community position, but obviously budgeting, if any, is handled by Novell.
Yes, budgeting will be handled by Novell. I have no objection to involving the board in some way, though -- I think this is a natural extension of the board's duties? Martin will be the key contact for our $name_to_be_determined, by the way, and will be helping ensure coordination of resources, etc. 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
