Hello folks, This relates to applying the lessons learned from last week's conference. Event: Generic house party Date: 24 October 2010 Location: Munich 1. How many DVDs were available: 10 2. How many DVDs were given out: 10 3. How many people were at the even: 20 4a. What kind of audience attended: 4b. System administrators 4b. Mechanical engineers 4b. Landscape architects 4b. Psychologists 4b. Salespeople 4b. Managers 4b. Vorstand ...I was the only software engineer. There was no formal presentation, because this was a nontechnical party. However, I did tell the story of Konrad ZUSE and a few things about networks, business, home computing, and how OpenSUSE fits in. I was able to generate interest in OpenSUSE by deemphasizing the fact that the DVDs can be installed, and by emphasizing that they can be used in a nondestructive manner. My suggestion was: 'Keep the DVD in view next to the computer, and use it from time to time when you suspect that your installed operating system is not performing correctly.' If you'd like to know why I chose this strategy, please ask. Regards, Michael P.S.: I'm the one at the conference who rudely called Klaas 'Klaus' and the only one who doesn't look like a hacker (I have fashion camouflage.) -- Michael Schloh von Bennewitz http://michael.schloh.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org
