openSUSE Linux event in Mauritius
by Nitin K Sookun 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

Hello friends, First of all a big thanks to Andreas, I received the promo DVDs on time. We had our openSUSE Linux event on UoM's campus yesterday, 30 September 2010. It was rocking and we received plenty feedback. Got students interested from faculties of management, humanities, agriculture etc...contrary to our belief that this event will attract computer science & engineering students only. Many of them are newbies, and openSUSE will be their first taste of Linux. I'm thus providing them some support through mail, will soon start and openSUSE blog here in Mauritius. I've explained them how they can get support and advice through IRC etc. I've seen that the computer labs at the University are currently using Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint. I've distributed some DVDs there also. In total we've distributed some 500 DVDs on the University's campus and a few dozens among Linux enthusiasts at Indra Cybercafés. We got openSUSE geeko printed on some tshirts for this event :) Here are some photos of that event: http://s669.photobucket.com/albums/vv53/ishwon/openSUSE-UoM-2010/ Kind regards, Ish -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

27 Oct '10

Hi there, I like the boosters weekly review so I decide to do a bimonthly review for same reasons about the status of my/Hungarian community goals. On the 11.3 release party in Budapest we set few goals in August: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-ambassadors/2010-08/msg00069.html [FINISHED] - Free DVD ship: about 60 DVDs sent out (we are out of stock), we would like to continue this - Conferences (SFD and LOK) - separate review - openSUSE 11.3 (and SLED11SP1) as supported operating systems for high-school graduation: passed (maybe some announcement needed) - use http://bug.openscope.org infrastructure to handle translation issues received from end users [ONGOING] - Translation of the 11.3 Reference Guide: 3 chapters left - Release case study about how to build a graduation-ready openSUSE lab for schools (it will release on huedu.hu website) - ECDL books for adults about openSUSE under CC licence: one book missing, ECDL certification under way, books are here: ftp://ftp.novell.hu/pub/huedu/ - DVD/article for newspaper: in PCWORLD, November or December, modified DVD (starts in Hungarian by default) - new wiki: two community member work on that [QUEUE] - On-demand printing of the Reference Guide: waiting for the translation - Build a Hungarian eLearning site for all distribution and open source projects (Ubuntu has one in Hungary: edu.ubuntu.hu , we would like join) [CANCELED/FAILED] - openSUSE Hungarian edition 3 month release - not worth to do it - Retail store activity - not possible, 3 big retail store rejected our requests best, kalman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

Wiki mistakes and editing problem
by Michael 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello folks, Following Henne's advice, I signed up today for a Novell account and prepared to correct the broken URLs on the Wiki page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors There are some problems with the sign in procedure which I plan to report as soon as I find the right place to do that. Worst of all, I'm unable to 'just do it' as Henne suggests, because every time I try to edit the page, I'm told: 'Please validate your email account to login and edit the wiki.' Since I signed up one hour ago, I've successfully validated the email account twice. No idea... I'll keep waiting and trying, but my suspicion is that something is wrong. The broken URLs in question are: http://lists.opensuse.org/openSUSE-ambassadors/ http://lists.opensuse.org/openSUSE-marketing/ ...which should be changed to: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-ambassadors/ http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-marketing/ Most likely there are many other such mistakes. Probably the Wiki would benefit from a broken link checking tool either running manually or as a cronjob. One of the presenters at the conference talked about their disappointment of the Wiki, so it could be that there is a collaborative effort forming to improve it.

House party report
by Michael 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello folks, This relates to applying the lessons learned from last week's conference. Event: Generic house party Date: 24 October 2010 Location: Munich 1. How many DVDs were available: 10 2. How many DVDs were given out: 10 3. How many people were at the even: 20 4a. What kind of audience attended: 4b. System administrators 4b. Mechanical engineers 4b. Landscape architects 4b. Psychologists 4b. Salespeople 4b. Managers 4b. Vorstand ...I was the only software engineer. There was no formal presentation, because this was a nontechnical party. However, I did tell the story of Konrad ZUSE and a few things about networks, business, home computing, and how OpenSUSE fits in. I was able to generate interest in OpenSUSE by deemphasizing the fact that the DVDs can be installed, and by emphasizing that they can be used in a nondestructive manner. My suggestion was: 'Keep the DVD in view next to the computer, and use it from time to time when you suspect that your installed operating system is not performing correctly.' If you'd like to know why I chose this strategy, please ask. Regards, Michael P.S.: I'm the one at the conference who rudely called Klaas 'Klaus' and the only one who doesn't look like a hacker (I have fashion camouflage.) -- Michael Schloh von Bennewitz http://michael.schloh.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org
