Perhaps we can? :)
Perhaps we can.
Would you like to head up a booth for that event?
No, my time is very scarce these days :/ I was hoping Ambassadors might find themselves ;)
Do we have any information on the event (how many people they expect, are they just asking for people to man a booth, or asking for talks, or sponsorship?)
I mailed Sven Lankes (one of the organizer who asked me) and received this answer to your questions.: |On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 11:51:35AM +0200, Marcus Meissner wrote: | |>> I got asked by one of the organizers if openSUSE could participate in some way. |>> Perhaps we can? :) | |> Perhaps we can. | |> Would you like to head up a booth for that event?
