Hello SuSE folkz,
It is a very sad situation that SuSE shrinks its presence in US.
Due to its superior software engineering I'm using SuSE for such tough tasks
as integration/automation of manufacturing processes, test/process data
transmissions, database entries/interfacing and so on.   
My proposal to save SuSE presence in US and promote it further is to create
local SuSE Lugs on semi-voluntary basis. 
If some individual would like to get more familiar with SuSE Linux the local
SuSE LUG could help him/her out  for free. 
If some commercial organization or business decided to go with SuSE Linux and
SuSE doesn't have its local representation in that area, than SuSE LUG could
help them out for a moderate fee and provide nessesary tech support under SuSE
Inc/GMBH supervision. Local SuSE LUG could help to distribute SuSE Linux
within its community and make promotional presentations. 
Does this plan sound too utopic?  
Please tell me what you think about it.
I would like to contact with SuSE fans/users who live in Portland/Beaverton OR
area. Please drop me a line to discuss this issue.
Thanks.
Alex
