Please reThink

Good morning from OpenRheinRuhr, its the second day of OpenRheinRuhr (Oberhausen, Germany), our booth is settled between Debian and Fedora (by the way: Greetings from Sirko :-). As it turns out, we really should reThink our community presentation on these events, the idea of not printing posters and crating DVDs by openSUSE and send them out to the local ambassadors is really a shame. Two people are sitting here and give away the last DVDs i was able to become for FROSCON some months ago, while others give away badges, DVDs, lanyards, selling T-Shirts and much else. Leaving all the responsibility for give aways and merchandize to the poor guys on the booth is really a poor acting. So we should rethink all these thinks. Maybe we should add more power and budget to the local coordinators, i guess these guys could handle this. So please start discussion, but try to keep it short, the next conferences will show up eralier than you know.

Hello folks, It's with pleasure that I welcome 3 new Advocates evangelizing the awesomeness of openSUSE in Mauritius. Avinash Mayaram : http://en.opensuse.org/User:Aimayaram Nitin J Mutkawoa : http://en.opensuse.org/User:Nitinmutkawoa Yuram Venkatiah : http://en.opensuse.org/User:Yuram_07 They have been active for the past few months, attending & contributing through the weekly Linux meetups. I introduced the openSUSE Advocate Program to the local geeks a few months back : http://hacklog.in/linux-user-group-of-mauritius-meetup-17-08-2013/ I am also planning a presentation during the upcoming Linux Festival : http://linuxfest.lugm.org/ I've met many university students with creative skills. Hopefully, after the Linux Festival we can expect more Mauritian geekos joining the crew :) Regards, Ish Sookun - Geek by birth ... Linux by choice. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |H|A|C|K|L|O|G|.|i|n| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org
