Hah, that's me, a bad old habit from the old days of SuSE :) I've corrected the
misspellings, I hope you guys can forgive me :)


I guess I should take the opportunity to talk about OMG! SUSE! in general and
ask for advice/opinion/criticisms/cookies/etc


I've been working on the concept with "d0od" the chap behind OMG! UBUNTU!
(http://omgubuntu.co.ul), a very popular Ubuntu users weblog. Being an avid
openSUSE user, I wanted to start working on an equivalent for the openSUSE
community.

The rough concept is: a user-focused blog for openSUSE. My goal is to cover new
releases, changes, package updates, etc from an openSUSE user's perspective
(trying to avoid getting technical). Of course, the gratuitous showing off of
openSUSE eye candy is a must as well :)


As somebody pointed out in the comments on the first post [1], OMG! UBUNTU! and
Ubuntu in general don't do KDE justice so there's also an opportunity to cover
KDE desktop environments changes (by way of openSUSE) as well as XFCE and LXDE
developments.


Any thoughts or suggestions? I am by no means a "marketer", I just love
openSUSE as a comprehensive desktop and enjoy writing, so here I am :)
