Hi Peeps,
We have a small questionnaire for you guys, please answer them. Along with this, if you can write a small quote / paragraph we will try to quote you at news.opensuse.org if the news team likes yours. The questionnaire is below
Ok let start the exercice
1. Do you know about YaST? Yeap have start using in 2002, and continue to use it, not for everything. And you already try WebYast ?
2. Do you know about Tumbleweed and Evergreen? How can we miss those two noisy project : Tumbleweed the rolling release powered by Gregkh and Evergreen by Wolfgang our LTS like 11.1 and 11.2. But returning the question, are you ready to get involved in those sub-project : without help none of them can survive !
3. Do you know about connect? Oh sure, one of the two "social portal" I use. So easy to create a pool with that an get geeko-linked !
4. Did you know zypper just got faster in 11.4? Yeap compared to 10.3 zypper in 11.4 is just 225% more quicker
5. Do you know about patterns while installing openSUSE? Patterns and me it's a story of love and hate at the same time. Love example : Pattern kernel-development, one package to be called, and you (or the user you're helping) get everything ready to build something special for it's hardware.
Hate example : Minimal server, which miss some useful packages ( It's not jeos pattern ) and use -desktop kernel flavor by default in place of -default ...
6. Do you know that default preferred OS for GNOME3 throughout the testing and release phase was openSUSE? Yeap, also fc15
7. Do you know about openFATE? Yeap our market place for wishes, but don't be wrong, even mostly or highly wanted features need someone to implement them Follow my glance to Plymouth integration
9. Do you know about the multiple desktop selections we have in openSUSE? Sure, one of our strength ... 5 one click away kde,gnome,lxde,xfce, tty with server :-)
10. How many times have you been asked "Is openSUSE Linux"? I don't remember a such question.
11. What do you tell people when they ask how different is openSUSE from UBUNTU / other distributions? Freedom of choice, Good as desktop & server with one media. Did you like apt-get ? If yes give a try to zypper, rocks better!
12. Did you know YaST works in ncurses, Gtk and Qt interfaces? Sure, even if I regret the differences we have between our 4 versions. You forget webyast :-)
13. Did you know OBS is used by meego, dell and other industrial vendors when distributing their own linux distributions? You just teach me about Dell. I know about Meego
14. Can you quote something nice about openSUSE, we can possibly use your quote ( after mentioning you offcourse ;-) ) at the news team. [ Long time after filing the whole questionnaire ... Freak the blank line ? :-) ]
openSUSE, it's all about humans, we work together trying to package chaos. Making it a openminded community, which know we're nothing without all upstream and other projects. We try to do our best, and know also we failed in some part. But we already are working on it!
15. Do you know we have an artwork git repository that keeps you upto date with latest marketing materials like posters, slides etc? Sure, I'm one of the admin. Ask if you want to contribute.
16. Do you have any localisation issues? Unfortunately yes. I was really disappointed to discover missing keyboard layout on promoDVD. Which is really bad. No way to use our promoDVD for swiss-french people. (remark the swiss-german layout is there ... )
17. Do you know about the ambassador portal and can you suggest changes to it? opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors I deduct the url, and it work. Did you see how I'm happy this time with the wiki :-) I know that a such a page exist, but didn't reread that recently. My wish (should already done by myself) but prefer to ask. Add a Read, Accept and sign the Guideline Rules, and not just a blind signing ...
18. Do you know about the flickr group openSUSE has? Yeap, I spend too much time on it, especially after OSC. Unfortunately, I didn't have a flickr account. Should I ?
A lot of questions it seems but it will be definitely helpful so that we can provide you with better materials and stuff like that.
Hope this help someone, or just me :-) Questions : why didn't use connect for that ? Each ambassador has an account on it no ?
