Hello friends,
First of all a big thanks to Andreas, I received the promo DVDs on time. We had our openSUSE Linux event on UoM's campus yesterday, 30 September 2010. It was rocking and we received plenty feedback. Got students interested from faculties of management, humanities, agriculture etc...contrary to our belief that this event will attract computer science & engineering students only.
Many of them are newbies, and openSUSE will be their first taste of Linux. I'm thus providing them some support through mail, will soon start and openSUSE blog here in Mauritius. I've explained them how they can get support and advice through IRC etc.
This is great! Hope it's not only you doing the support ;)
I've seen that the computer labs at the University are currently using Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint. I've distributed some DVDs there also.
In total we've distributed some 500 DVDs on the University's campus and a few dozens among Linux enthusiasts at Indra Cybercafés.
We got openSUSE geeko printed on some tshirts for this event :)
Here are some photos of that event: http://s669.photobucket.com/albums/vv53/ishwon/openSUSE-UoM-2010/
