Quck survey for Conference attendees
by Bryen M. Yunashko 05 Aug '10

As some of us get ready to prepare for upcoming openSUSE Conference in Nuremberg (October 20-23, 2010), I'm looking for a quick headcount of who will be there. 2 questions: 1) If you are a participant in openSUSE's Marketing Team or Ambassador Program, do you intend to be at openSUSE Conference? 2) If yes to 1), we are *thinking* about a Marketing hackfest day, the day before the Conference starts. (Tuesday, October 19). It would be an all-day event. Would you go? Getting some headcounts will help us to decide if there's enough people interested to make it happen. Then we can make arrangements for the resources needed. Thanks, Bryen M Yunashko openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Marketing Team lead -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

About the use of social networks

Hi people. Welly, happily I'm gaining more power and voice here in my country, small but at least the openSUSE word its now in the mouths of a lot of LUG's here, so because that I'm trying to get more in touch with the users and newbies around using the IRC, my blog and Twitter. Besides the encounter feelings about Facebook, I create a group [1] for all the people come together and take advantage of the platform options like forums and that. My question is, its ok to use FB?, or there is another way to accomplish this? The idea: - Put events - Send messages to members from while to while - A forum - Pictures and stuff If there is another option (more open, i think), or best way to get this please let me know.

Hi, i came in lately and i'm italian and probably i'm not really inside of this. IRC is ok for me. More than time in my case the day would be a major concern. Saturday and Sunday would be perfect but i understand that wouldn't not work for others. I will try to fix my work in some way to partecipate at my best. I wait to listen from the others about this. Different regions have different needs. It's possible for you there to call the general important IRC (from the base), and let the people' area (America, Europe....) call local others or you call the others considering the 4 regions? I know that for you would be heavy, but in my case i would love to listen other situations and recover if i would lose one. Probably you will try a better way.
