Hi, i came in lately and i'm italian and probably i'm not really inside of this. IRC is ok for me. More than time in my case the day would be a major concern. Saturday and Sunday would be perfect but i understand that wouldn't not work for others. I will try to fix my work in some way to partecipate at my best. I wait to listen from the others about this. Different regions have different needs. It's possible for you there to call the general important IRC (from the base), and let the people' area (America, Europe....) call local others or you call the others considering the 4 regions? I know that for you would be heavy, but in my case i would love to listen other situations and recover if i would lose one. Probably you will try a better way.

Welcome to Alexandre Meirelles de Moura as Brasilian Ambassador
by Andreas Jaeger 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

I'd like to give a warm welcome to Alexandre as Brasilian Ambassador! I'm appending as introduction his interview, Andreas * What have you done already for openSUSE? In my state (Bahia/Brazil) i have a big case of implantation Opensuse. In 2 years are installed 1400 desktops. These desktops are migrated from Windows (in varios versions like 95, 98 and XP). In sequence, I instruct many employees how to use this distribution in many cities of this state, including Salvador, Jequié, Alagoinhas and Vitória da Conquista. * What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Distribution of medias, presentation in Foruns and other events and participation in FLISOL (Festival Latinoamericano de Instalação de Software Livre - Latinamerica festival of Free Software Installation). In this events, installations are realized in desktops from people with interest in use of linux. * Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE Yes, a have participate from other events, but not in legal representation. I observe that Opensuse is a great distribution, with advantages and disadvantages in comparison with other distributions, like ubuntu and fedora, but, in general, Opensuse have very many features. However, I expect migrate windows users to linux, because I believe that is more easy convert other linux users to Opensuse only showing advantages from our desktop. * What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE? The powerfull and stability. Desktops must be easy and have more funcionalities without forget the stability, confiability and speed. Opensuse is only linux desktop that have all of this features. * Why do you love to do this I believe in free software and in a near future proprietary software will be extinct. I want make part from this history. * How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of experienc. I am a Infrastrutucre Support Analist. I have 10 years from experience with Linux like a System Administrator * The ambassador program is currently pretty informal and we expect the ambassadors to organize themselves. So, please coordinate with other ambassadors on the opensuse-marketing mailing list. All right. No problem * Also, as an ambassador, you're the expert on your country/region, so please share on the opensuse-marketing mailing list a bit about the openSUSE and the FOSS community in your country/region, e.g. what are their needs. My region have some people working with FOSS, and like I said, Opensuse is the best linux distribution, however, many other peoples dont know. I want contribute to disseminate this distribution. The more needs is materials to publish Opensuse distribution and support to make events. A wiki with documentation in my main language (pt-br) is very important too -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj(a){novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
