Hello Stathis, Maybe these could help : 1. Source of income for openSUSE openSUSE project is sponsored by Novell (the main sponsor), AMD (Gold sponsor), IP Exchange (Silver sponsor) and B1 Systems (Silver sponsor). These companies get sponsorship recognition on the opensuse website and other related projects. These being "big" companies, the openSUSE project gets considerable amount of income for the continuous work on development & promotion of openSUSE. 2. Source of income for you. Why do you promote it? We as ambassadors, we don't get any income by promoting openSUSE. What we really get is a satisfaction of being part in something "great" I suppose :) Well... This would differ for each ambassador. We all have different versions of stories. But mainly, we do it to encourage people & help them discover the myriad benefits of "Linux"... Make them realise the savings they can make by adopting "Free" software. By making people realise the benefits of open source. It's just selfless actions... Do a good action, without expecting some self benefits! Regards, --- Nitin K Sookun openSUSE Ambassador Freenode: Ishwon #opensuse FSF Member #9934 This email is sent from openSUSE 11.4.

Hello oScers and rest of us,
I have couple of questions (I might miss to read the answers). People at the Trade Fair in my city asked me:
1. Source of income for openSUSE. Why do you promote it?
2. Source of income for you. Why do you promote it?
You know that the situation in my country (Greece) about economy is strange, so people ask those questions.
Please write some possible answers the next 3-4 days... Thanks Stathis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org
