Welcome! Oni Oladotun Daniel, what do people commonly use as your first name if I can ask? Mine is Jos, btw ;-) Cheers Jos
ambassador from Nigeria who is the first openSUSE ambassador in his country. 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?
1) i am currently part of the MIT ilab team in my school where the central system is a linux system which i choose openSUSE as my distribution.
*What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Please tell us what you want to do the next 6 months.
2) my plans for the next 6 months is to create a network of students where we can share ideas on how we can make openSUSE look friendly to students and even spread to all other campus here in Nigeria.Also to train some students and later assign them to departments where they will help other students having problems.
Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE?
3)i am totally ready
* What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE?
4) really i love the fact that most drivers needed for my work are present and there are no problems of drivers like few other distributions i have used before.
*Why do you love to do this?
5) Linux is my hobby and also it is my platform for all my work.I just love to hear open source and even people call me linux because theres hardly no day i don't tell people about it. least i forget the freedom in linux is awesome and the free softwares.
* How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of experience?
6) i started using linux in my first grade in the university. i was introduced by a senior student who told me about linux , he said it was a complicated system that people don't really like to use it but i did not listen so i tried getting one myself but it was ubuntu because i was exposed to ubuntu at the time and later moved to fedora but now on openSUSE. I will rate myself on range of 0-10 7. There was a time my school was on closedown in my first and third grade, then i played with it like a game thats where i developed most of my skills.
