Hi James,

Thanks for the quick response on IRC. I had just gotten IRC set up on the netbook when you appeared.

The information you gave makes the following even more appropriate.

Here's what I sent to the Fest Organizers yesterday...

" In several volunteer assignment categories, there is a question about which distro to use. The time that students could spend researching distros and debating their merits could be put to better use elsewhere.

In a message to his student assistants, Jakob wrote: "I personally like OpenSUSE and Gnome desktop, but it's your call."

On Monday, I am going to instruct students to use OpenSUSE/Gnome. (Fred, this doesn't apply to the Tutorium. That's your call.)

Rationale: * BTC students are not generally knowledgeable about distros and their relative advantages to Jane Citizen, average user. * OpenSUSE/Gnome is easy to use, solid and visually appealing. (Gak, what about KDE? Try not to think about it B^) * OpenSUSE is a sponsor. * OpenSUSE is an exhibitor. * Several senior level speakers represent OpenSUSE. * James Mason provides local presence, support and advocacy. * The installation media is well-designed and attractive. * OpenSUSE has superb online references. * Installation, updates, package installation are simple, and well supported by the online references. * All of these reflect well on LFNW. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
