Dear communiy,
I would like to present you my idea how to spread opensuse at my university departement.
I started my physics studies at 2007 at the Humboldt-University. In contrast to the whole university, our departement uses Linux (Debian with KDE4) on nearly every student desktop terminal. For a lot of students this is the first contact with linux. Nevertheless the most students don't consider to switch to Linux privately, although the benefits are geat (ssh to university, sftp in Dolphin, easy latex, same applications, etc…).
My suggestion to show off how easy it is to install and use Linux (with opensuse). My friend, who is supporting this event, already spoke with the responsable IT office. We will get the opportunity to get direclty integrated in the "computing courses for beginners" sessions, which are usually visited by all new students.
Right now, I try to create with suseStudio an installable liveCD with special software known from other courses preinstalled.
It would be awesome, If we could get some marking stuff from openSuse. I'm thinking about maybe 5 shirts as prices (for people who installed openSuse first on their laptops – or something like that), some posters with usefull commands (I have one myself – very handy!), some promoDVD for people prefering a more standard setup. Furthermore it would be amazing, if we could get some (or better: a lot) of these openSuse branded pen drives to put on our own live image.
Our presentation is going to be splitted into two parts. We will first show of some slides. In the 2nd part we will assist people with their fist experiences with opensuse and help more advanced users to install it right there. At least, this is my inital idea. I'm open for suggestions.
I expect around 50 students to participate spread of two events happening on different dates.
Beyond that, I'm in contact with some KDE contributors studying at both other Berlin universities to create a joined effort.
Hi robert,
please use the form at http://software.opensuse.org to request these and I'll take care of shipping what we have in two weeks,
Andreas
Thank you very much! The package arrived and I'm going to prepare a one-click- install pattern for all the interesting software the students might want to know.
The specific date of our opensuse presentations is still to be announced! I will post it here. Most probably on 9th march and 23th march at:
Newtonstr. 15 12489 Berlin room: Gerthsen-Hörsaal
or Newtonstr. 14 Room 1'02
Robert, do you need any help with presentation ? Jos is living in Berlin and might be able to join you for one session if you ask nicely ;)
Andreas
Yeah, sounds cool :D
