["Bryen M. Yunashko" <suserocks@xxxxxxxxx>]

As you can read from Eitan's latest post
http://monotonous.org/2010/04/15/gnome-accessibility-at-csun-more-thoughts/, 
openSUSE's presence had an unexpected major impact at the CSUN Accessibility 
Technology Conference.

I bring this up because its important, as we begin to shape our
marketing team goals for this year and thereafter, that we should think
outside of the box.  The CSUN conference was not a FOSS-related
conference, and yet the presence of FOSS proved to be very important at
this conference.  

Each and every one of us in FOSS is ultimately tasked with growing our
community.  And we hope we have new people coming into the FOSS
community as a result of our presence at this conference.

It is very important that we continue to attend and represent openSUSE
at FOSS-related events.  But, we should all begin to look beyond these
types of events and build presence at other events that we traditionally
have not gone to.   When you think outside of the box, you'll be
surprised at how much overlap exists with FOSS and the rest of the world
and that our presence at non-FOSS related events is appropriate and
worthy.

Just giving you all something to think about.

Thanks,
Bryen M Yunashko
