Of the machines available to me ( Dell, HP Workstations; Dell, HP, and Lenovo business laptops, and a home-build AMD Fusion-based HTPC) only the Lenovo T60p (which is ancient) booted properly on RC2. Amazingly enough, it boots to a desktop via a live USB stick in <12 seconds. I spent 4 hours monkeying with compiling proprietary drivers and tweaking grub options to get a graphical boot (the open-source driver apparently doesn't support Fusion APUs, or didn't in RC2). So, everywhere else, I'll still running Tumbleweed, and honestly I'm a bit afraid for Sept. 5. ... but to your point ... GNOME 3.4 offers *huge* improvements in usability and customization, and I'm looking forward to using it everywhere. -- James Mason SUSE Studio Developer openSUSE Member+Ambassador 2925 Roeder Ave #300 Bellingham, WA 98225-2065 USA +1 360 752 6707 jmason(a)suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org

Becoming a member of ambassadors team
by Sergey Tumanov 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

Hi colleagues! I'm from Moscow Russia and it seams that right now there's no one in Ambassadors team yet. My Novell account is Tux-Tux. My name is Sergey Tumanov. Could you please include me in this list. Hope I'll do my best to support openSUSE promotion in Moscow. I also have a question concerning 12.2 release party. Unfortunately there was no such party last year when 12.1 came, but in many cities of the world such events were held. As I know in Moscow there was no party. But I think it could be a good tradition to start with. I expect there's not enough time for a newer release, but for the next year it could be a good idea. Do you have any typical programs for such event? Probably someone can share this experience. Thank you in advance. Please confirm the receiving of my e-mail. Kind regards, Sergey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org

Not the first time this happened. I guess you should CC this mail to the ambassador team or send it firstly there (anyway I am doing in now :D) This is only one of the reasons why we are reforming the ambassador program nowdays. Let's hope that shortly after 'Ambassadors 2.0' (that is only how I call it) will be releashed we will have not any more unpleasant situations like that.
