Hello,
<snipped>
ok, when u not doing Launch Parties what doing the Ambassadors from India then? Please tell me, say not I contribute to the wiki or such stuff, because thats not the job for an Ambassador.
I can only speak for myself. In the past year or so - -I have done and personally overseen over 100 individual oS installs. -Handled openSUSE in two installfests. -Taken introductory classes for primary school teachers, albeit as part of a larger group -provided round the year support for around 50 users at town/institute -guided new users -gave several impassioned 'Why openSUSE' speeches to groups and individuals alike. -Ran word-of-mouth as well as DVD distribution campaigns in Mukti, a LUG symposium with over 1000 registrations. -followed strict openSUSE oriented policy in our startup despite disgruntled associates -tried to help on the social media visibility front, mostly twitter.
Koushik, this is great work! It's just not visible and I think that's why Gnokii was asking. Going forward with the ambassador program, I'd like to see more sharing of what ambassadors do to encourage and motivate others. I'd also like to hear about common problems and challenges so that we can work together on solving them. I've understood now a bit that India is different - thanks for all the comments in the thread, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
