Hi Ambassadors Please welcome Ershad Kunnakkadan, our new ambassador from India. Below is a little about Ershad in his own words...
* What have you done already for openSUSE?
I've just installed openSUSE today and have put its logo in my blog[1]. Currently I'm thinking more ways to promote it.
* What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Please tell us what you want to do the next 6 months.
I would like to talk about openSUSE, distribute its iso image/disks in local & college meetings, among friends and family.
* Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE?
Of course, yes.
* What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE?
Sorry, I'm yet to figure it out.
* Why do you love to do this?
Reason #1: I want to contribute back to community Reason #2: I liked openSUSE very much Reason #3: I'm excited to see the vibrant community of openSUSE Reason #4: I would like to help in making openSUSE better and hence learning new things/
* How did you start with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of experience?
I started with openSUSE while trying to do small hacks around OBS. I'm still working on that. I've been using GNU/Linux distros for 4 years, I can do a bit of shell scripting and programming in a few languages.
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: * share with them what you like to do * share what you did, e.g. what kind of event did you organize, how many people joined * share what you learned, explain what was great at your event, what you want to improve * create material that is usefull for you and other ambassadors as well
Sure.
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.
The people here are slowly switching from other operating systems to GNU/Linux distros. I hope openSUSE will be a good option for them and I can help them to use it without pain.
We'd like to send your answers to the opensuse-ambassadors list and thus introduce you as new ambassador. Please keep this in mind when answering and if you don't agree, please tell us!
