Hey :)

I have to introduce myself, too. My name is Susanne Graf and I'm
normally a user of openSUSE. For the next 2 weeks I'm in an internship
by Novell at openSUSE and hope to make some packages better.
At the Linuxtag2010 a employee of openSUSE ask me to found the women
community and I agreed.

I'm very happy, that you, Katarina, are interested in the openSUSE
Women community and have a lot of ideas and interests here. I hope we
can build a good working community with fresh ideas and nice people.

For the openSUSE conference I thought too to make some things, to meet
the other women of openSUSE and to introduce openSUSE Women to the
visitors of the conference.

The mentoring programme is interesting, too. But I really agree if it is
not only for female. Maybe we can start it and later some other
openSUSE people are interested in mentoring, too.

Have a lot of fun

Susanne
