I'd like to do the cleanup of the ambassador list that we discussed in the
summer and also at the openSUSE conference. We'd like to have every ambassador
create a user page so that ambassadors can get contacted. You might have had
one in the old wiki but with the move to the new wiki, you need to create a
new one as described at:
http://news.opensuse.org/2010/07/12/new-wiki-what-now/
I will go after the 1st of December through the list of ambassadors and remove
those that do not have a user page. This way we will remove inactive
ambassadors. If I remove somebody that wants to become active again, it's easy
to add them again once the user page is created.
I will try to email those ambassadors now that do not have a user page (if I
can easily find an email address) with this text as well.
I'm asking every ambassador to subscribe to the opensuse-ambassador mailing
list as well for communication.
Andreas

Yesterday the Greek openSUSE community had it's first meeting.
The purpose of this meeting was all of those who are interesting on
participate to decide the next steps of our community together.
Me(Warlordfff) and Stathis(Diamond_gr) had no experience on how to
organize such a meeting so we made a lot of mistakes,had many
difficulties and many things went wrong but finally we managed to make
some decisions about certain points and we decided to have another
meeting exclusively at IRC this time,sometime next weekend.
The topics we talked was:
Official translation of 11.4 and the creation of a translators team about it.
Two members showed interest about it:
Kostas Boukouvalas (who is already a openSUSE translator)
Michael Vourlakos
Kostas Boukouvalas has created a wiki page about the translation
(http://el.opensuse.org/%CE%92%CE%BF%CE%AE%CE%B8%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%B1:%CE%9C%CE…
)
Forum: Creation of a Greek Section at http://forums.opensuse.org.
The members that expressed interest about taking responsibilities on
that section were:
Stratos Zolotas (Baskinsy)
Stathis Iosifidis (Diamond_gr)
Kostas Koudaras (warlordfff)
Kostas Boukouvalas (Boukouvalas)
George (Etern4l)
Wiki:We decided all members to contribute by translating parts of the
wiki in Greek.Also there was a suggestion about organizing a mini
hackfest for the translation of our wiki.
LI-F-E: We talked about making a Greek division of LI-F-E
incorporating the packages of the Greek ministry of education.
OBS:We decided to form a team about OBS,the team will take some
packages for maintenance and Support,also to create packages that are
not available for openSUSE (such packages are the packages of the
Greek ministry of education that we need so that we create our LI-F-E
division)
Finally we decided to process all that in our mailing list the whole
week and talk about all that and more at our next meeting.

The Greek openSUSE Team is pleased to inform you that the translation
of openSUSE Weekly News issue 150 is a fact, take a look:
http://el.opensuse.org/Weekly_news
Today is a Great day for the Greek Community, today after two meetings
we made to show all (including ourselves) that we were not just big
fat words and that we can make things happen as a team that is bigger
than 3 or 4 people. We know we are late, we were not in a hurry, we
wanted it done correctly. We made it and we are really proud of it.
When we started creating the Greek community many people told us that
it would end up a great failure. Today we say to them:
-You Are Wrong.
We know we have road ahead of us, but Every great journey must start
with one small step.

A few days ago a Greek popular site/blog FOSS related asked me to
write an article about openSUSE, I came up with that article in order
to show people that everybody can use openSUSE. The article had good
response at the Greek audience (over 1200 views on 48 hours) and that
is why I decided(Rajko M. helped in that decision) to translate it in
English. Give it a look and let me know your opinion about it,also I
am preparing the second part so any ideas you have would be great.
The link to the article in English:

So far, I have write-protected the openSUSE ambassador list in the openSUSE
wiki and ask all ambassadors to write me first - and then send them the
questioniare and introduce them here as new ambassadors.
Therefore I'm basically the first contact and greeter for them ;)
I'd like to pass this job on to somebody else - or a small team - since it
takes me far too long to handle these requests.
If you're interested, please speak up!

Greetings,
I am a bit busy because we are having our Software Freedom Day next
Saturday.
Questions to be asked:
1. How do the other distros get funded?
2. Use of openSUSE/SUSE on websites, documents etc. Trademarks, rights to
use images, logos etc.
3. Support from local Attachmate people?
4. Does Attachmate have a community Manager? I could not find one, so I
phoned Seattle yesterday evening. I was handed to Liz an outsourced PR
company.
5. What do we tell our members? Does that involve a change of Memorandum and
Articles of Association, hence bank account, letterheads, business cards,
websites et al?
6. open office is heavily funded by Novell, does that mean that we might
less developers? Other developments in progress?
7. Helen is right, what about our pals at Novell?
Best wishes,
Jimmy
President

he people that follow us. Particularly, we are interested in how will
this affect Suse, OpenSuse, GNU and Linux, given that Novell was
ratified as the owner of the rights of Unix after winning the infamous
lawsuit from SCO. -- Thank you, very much.
