Announcing changes to the Ambassador Programme
by Richard Brown 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hello Everyone, After months of hard work and discussion, we're finally ready to make significant changes to the Ambassador programme. The article at http://news.opensuse.org/2013/05/10/ambassadors-event-merchendise-all-chang… goes into detail about what is changing and why, but to summarize - Our openSUSE Ambassadors are being renamed to 'openSUSE Advocates', and the process is opened up so anyone can volunteer themselves as an Advocate without needing to be vetted by the Ambassador Welcome Team - We're introducing a new role of 'Local Coordinator' and looking for volunteers. These local coordinators will be a designated point of contact for new openSUSE users/contributors who need help finding their way around the project, and also responsible for helping organize and report on the activities of the openSUSE Advocates in their area. Details and how to sign up can be found on the wiki: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Local_Coordinator - Also, changes are being made regarding the Merchandising for Events. Instead of boxes of PromoDVD's, specialised boxes full of high quality items, everything openSUSE Advocates need to fully equip a booth, are being put together. These will be shipped (by the openSUSE Team at SUSE) in advance of events. It's expected that our new Local Coordinators will be a big part of putting together a list of events so we will know which events need what materials. We hope these changes are to everyone's liking. Please let us know what you think, and pardon any dust and rough edges while we transition from the old to the new Regards, Richard Brown openSUSE Board Member -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org

Greetings Marcel Call for Projects 2013 // English \\ (für eine Deutsche Version siehe unten) although it has been a while since last FrOSCon, we would like to thank you again for having made this very successful event possible. The feedback was once again overwhelmingly positive. Meanwhile, preparations for the eighth FrOSCon are well underway. This year's FrOSCon takes place on August 24th and 25th. We would be pleased if your project would like to contribute again to this year's FrOSCon and thus support the communication and exchange within the Open Source and Free Software community. Depending on the kind of your participation, there is different information available to you. # Booth # To sign up for a booth, please visit https://callforprojects.froscon.org and register your project.

The proposal should contain a short summary (1-2 paragraphs) of what you plan to do and special requirements.

If you have questions concerning the developer rooms, feel free to contact projects(a)froscon.org. The deadline for the submission of developer room proposals is also May 23rd. # Talk or Workshop # Additionally our Call for Papers already started, we are looking forward to your submissions of talks and workshops.
