Hello all,
As I am the first ambassador of openSUSE, I am trying my best to set up and organize the work of openSUSE in China. Now, I can see some of them I have settled since I have looked into everything here for openSUSE Chinese.
*Our Member now* I have got 3 members in openSUSE Chinese Group of connect.opensuse.org <http://connect.opensuse.org> who are still active,and willing to continue to contribute for openSUSE in China. Of course, this is not enough, I will pay effort to call and organize more members and opensuse users in China to join us.
*Our recently Plan* ** *Ambassador work* 1. I will organize the existed 3 members to form as the initial openSUSE Chinese team, and go to develop and call for ambassador recruiting work in our China. 2. Will open ambassador-chinese mail list when it is availabe for us. 3. I will go to contact exsited ambassadors in HongKong and Taiwan to see if we could collapse as a whole team so that we can work for openSUSE in China effectively and I do think it will be more easy for us to keep in touch and communicate.
*Marketing work* 1. I will go to open one twitter account for openSUSE China as twitter.com <http://twitter.com> is so popular in the worldwide. This will help all Chinese openSUSE users in the worldwide to know what we are focusing on. 2. I will also go to open one local Chinese twitter account on t.sina.com.cn <http://t.sina.com.cn>, which is the most popular and influencial local Chinese twitter site in our China mainaland. Before I decided to do this, I have looked into it and found that there were plenty of active Chinese openSUSE users. I am certainly believe that I could arrange and call for and open ambassador recruiting work with the help of this local Chinese twitter site.
*Community work* 1. I am willing to set up and organize one community online for our openSUSE Chinese users as I found there was no one Chinee openSUSE community until now. With the help of this community, I can call for all existed acitive users to join us and users in China could get a place to communicate and help each other in this community.
2. Will go to contact members both in HongKong and Taiwan to see if we could organize and collapse openSUSE community there into it so that this online community could be the one which could lead all community work of openSUSE in China.
3. Additionally, I think I could see the possiblity recently to set up our initial openSUSE China community team if we could set it up with the help of your official team.
*Need help from openSUSE team*
1. I am not sure if openSUSE team could help to provide us a website host for setting up our Chinese community as none of us existed member could provide it.
2. I am not sure if we could ask for setting a sub-domain for this community. Here I suggest to put this online Chinese community under zh.opensuse.org <http://zh.opensuse.org>. If you think it is ok, please put this online community could be visited at zh.opensuse.org/community <http://zh.opensuse.org/community>
At last, I should say openSUSE work in China is just starting, and not so many members here at present. Maybe some of your team member will think that there no need to do such things. However, everything will have the period when it just started. As I am the first ambassador of openSUSE in China, I am looking forwad that your official team could offer these help and give a big push for us. Thank you all very much.
Look forward to seeing your team reply. Than you from the bottom of my heart.
