Hi friends and colleagues, I owe you an old report, so here it is. Saturday 18th December, quite coldish.... We took the gear and went for the last event for 2010.

Facebook : No Twitter : No Others : Usual channels (forums, rss feeds to web sites and our four domain names nui.fr jmll.fr jmll.org, jmll.info , no radio, no newspapers) (Sorry guys, I have noticed that social networks seem to make these type of events too trivial while an email is more probing) Any Interesting Story you will like to share with us? : Yes, we had a medical Doctor, so we know that every patient will see his openSUSE screen. A network manager for a local big company, I discretely gave him SLES/SLED as well. Our usual visitors and the teacher were quite happy to be part of this last event. Did you have a booth? : NUI was the only LUG present. Who staffed the booth? All of the above. Would you go again? Yes, 12-mar, 16-avr, 14-may, 28-may, 18-jun, 9 - 14 Jul, 17-sept, 15-oct, 18-nov, 14-dec What more can you do to make it better? Swap our 16 or so boxes into laptops because it takes too much time to setup the room. Get hold of goodies. There are 4 of us now attempting to check material for next week event and we are out ISOs to get upgrade our boxes.

openSUSE Seminar in Mauritius
by Nitin K Sookun 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hi folks, I received a proposal from University of Mauritius Computer Club to organize a Linux Seminar there. It'll be a 2-days seminar where we should demonstrate & explain to the students how they can use Linux in their daily life, academic projects etc. We would provide all those attending this seminar a certificate of attendance/appreciation, with logos of local sponsors printed. I'd like to know if I could print logos of openSUSE & Novell as well, since during the whole seminar we'll demonstrate activities using openSUSE and at the end we'll distribute openSUSE Promo DVDs. Is there a formal procedure before using the openSUSE and Novell logos? Kind regards, Nitin Sookun Freenode: Ishwon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

Rally for 11.4! openSUSE Needs YOU!
by Bryen M. Yunashko 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Folks, We're just days away from the release of the much anticipated openSUSE 11.4 on March 10th. Everyone raise your hand in the air and start chanting the openSUSE Song! Okay, we don't have an actual song, but maybe we could do the openSUSE Geeko Dance some of us tried to create at the Marketing Hackfest :-) But we still have a lot of work to do as we enter this final weekend before release day. We have compiled a checklist at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Launch_Checklist . Please take a moment to look through the list and if you see something interesting to do, claim it and complete it. Or if you see something already claimed by someone else, and you'd like to help out, let that person know. openSUSE Project truly appreciates your help in advance and we're all looking forward to what promises to be a great release cycle! Yours truly, Bryen M Yunashko openSUSE Marketing Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

...I have a contact in the local Novell Users' group and HUMBUG (a general Linux etc. user group - http://www.humbug.org.au/) who would be happy to receive a visit from openSUSE folks, and may be able to arrange a venue if anyone wants to give a talk.
