I will develop useful scripts and post them in a blog. And present openSUSE to all my friends. And get people to install openSUSE on their computer. Also I will take Linux exams, because I'm still a beginner. This takes time but I have already begun. > > Kind regards, > > Ish Sookun > > - Geek by birth ...

Presentation : openSUSE Advocate Program at LUG Mauritius
by Ish Sookun 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Hello folks, We had a LUG meetup in Mauritius on Saturday 17-08-2013. I grabbed that opportunity to introduce the openSUSE Advocate Program. I know other fellow Mauritians who are openSUSE users and adore the same. Response after the presentation was fantastic as many came up and said they learned a lot. Some of the existing openSUSE users said they didn't know the project offered so much more (things like SUSE Studio, WebYaST etc...). WebYaST received quite some thumbs up. More about this meetup on my blog : http://hacklog.in/linux-user-group-of-mauritius-meetup-17-08-2013 In the next meetup, I will elaborate and present tutorials as some requested. Will present them some command line cheat sheets as well. Regards, Ish Sookun - Geek by birth ...

roll up graphics
by Peter Czanik 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Hello, I'd like to ask, if there is any ready made graphics for a roll up. I looked around on the github repo, but while I found some really nice material, there was nothing what could be directly put on a roll up (or at least I could not find it...). If you have anything, please send me a URL (or complete files off-list). Thanks, bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org
