From June 1rst and above, yes! I've been through a lot of FOSS communities but I'm willing to help the openSUSE community because
From then till now I have made a big cycle. I've been through Ubuntu, Slax, FreeBSD, Debian, Mint, Fedora, Arch and many more. Also for
Hi openSUSE Ambassadors Please all give a warm welcome to Diomidis Anadiotis , our second new ambassador from Greece for today ;-). Below you can learn more about him and his relationship with openSUSE as he told us in his own words. *What have you done already for openSUSE? Truth be told, I'm a newbie in the Greek and Global openSUSE community, so there are a few things that I have already done. Firstly, I cared much about the openSUSE project because there was no controversy within the greek openSUSE community. So the first day that I met them I joined the release 11.4 party they were hosting at an Athenian cafe/bar, and I was the only one. I had a great time and I claimed that I will support and be one of them. Till now I have translated an Weekly News (171) part and involved in the last IRC official opensuse-el meeting that took place yesterday (19/4), getting an active position on a community based project called os-el. Also, I installed openSUSE to a company (my dad's) as the main OS (but dual boot with Windows). * What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Please tell us what you want to do the next 6 months. A lot of people say that I'm very communicative, so my first priority is to promote openSUSE. At first classic promotion like presentation at schools, and other communities (Scouts) is one of my favorite things to do. Also presentations can also turn to an installation fest. where all the interested people can get a fully functional openSUSE desktop. So, in the next three months, keeping in mind that schools open their gates again in the middle September I can organize mini summer camps, somewhere in Athens where people can come and go, talk about Linux, openSUSE, have a geek talk and make some progress growing the Athens openSUSE group. The next three months, (Sept,Oct.,Nov.) I will have more opportunities to promote because people comes back to their jobs and daily routine, so maybe then is the time for some big thing promotion with a lot of people around. Finally, I hope from September and on I will be an Infornation Systems student, so think I'll have many opportunities to show my colleagues the suse distro and philosophy. * Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE? they are friendly, helpful and supportive. I'll do my best. * What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE? Community. They trully believe in the spirit of Linux and openSUSE, being really openminded, something that you don't see in every Greek community easilly. Also the greek community amb's and members are very funny. * Why do you love to do this? Because it's good for me and for the society in general. I love something that is free, community/group based and smartly promotable to other humans. *How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of experience? Six years ago, installing Kanotix 32 on my old P4 pc. There was a friend of my dad who was like a mentor to me, he gave me an openSUSE 9.3 DVD. I installed it and that was my first interaction with suse. three years I was using only Mac OS X. But since 9/2010 I got back to linux and espesially from 1/2011 I'm using openSUSE again. My level of experience is intermediate.
