Hi Ambassadors Please welcome Szymon Strutyński, our new ambassador from Poland. Below is a little about Szymon in his own words --
OK, I tried to stick to the list answering your questions, but somehow first two positions became one.
*Not much for the bigger scale. My biggest achievement is that I convinced almost whole my family to use openSUSE instead of Windows OS. Same about couple of friends. I helped them with installations and all stuff associated with migrating to new OS. Nowadays I'm really serious about organizing launch/install party. For the beginning small one, because of lack of experience. I've convinced a owner of a small coffee shop to give me space and network access. Problem is that there are only 15 sitting places. I've got also projector, so I'm going to give some presentations. Already I have list of 13 people who will appear at the party for sure. If the idea will work out (and I'll earn some experience!) I'm going to ask at my university about some bigger room and organize bigger event. I've registered the event on the openSUSE Launch Party page. Also I am going to start small group of people just starting with openSUSE to make it easier by starting together. Work-name of the "group" is "openSUSE coffee lovers".
* I think I am. * In my opinion it's painless during migration from Windows OS. It is big simplification to configure your system with YaST, not by "complicated commands copied from some Internet forum". * Maybe because I've noticed how people are grateful after I've helped them with changing OS. * I've started with Slackware (best option for PC I had in 2000), than Debian (due to the amount of information that could be found in the Internet). In the beginning of 2010 I realized that all I need is something easy, not to heavy and something less time consuming to configure. That is how I've started with openSUSE. I'm not high experienced. I've never took part in any open-source project. I'm studying IT, so I'm experimenting a lot with my OS.
I'm from Warsaw, Poland. http://en.opensuse.org/User:Sstrutynski

Welcome Szymon Greetings to Warsaw from Krakow :) I started a business 2 months ago distributing a retail version of openSUSE out to Poland, I am in the process of getting all the documentation translated and hope to be able to launch in January (I tried for December but various problems ensued.. I am primarily based in the UK, but I am regularly in Poland normally at least 1 week a month :) Next time I am in Poland, it would be good to meet and see how we can work together to further the brand.. Glad to have you on board! Stuart.. -- Kind Regards Stuart Tanner Director Polska Linux Sklep Bolton Linux Ul.
