Please welcome Kostyantyn as new ambassador to the Ukraine. As an introduction I'm appending his answers below, Andreas ---------- > > * What have you done already for openSUSE? I run a FOSS conference in my uni (see poster http://kmit.110mb.com) and help students to learn more about FOSS during my classes. > > * What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? To improve things that i already do (help students to find out more about FOSS, and openSUSE as one of the greatest products in this field). I hope that ambassador program "has" plans that go beyond promoting openSUSE among the ambassadors. As a program that only starts it needs a good leader to breed the ideas and sort them out. Usually, you need to make 100 ideas, choose 3 and do your best implementing them. > > * Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE :-) Yes answer, can be derived from the other answers and a long answer - i hope to meet other ppl ready to promote openSUSE and other FOSS, to support each other on our cooperative actions and projects. > > * What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE? openSUSE is great quite polished distribution that has its niche on software market. In my opinion one of the greatest advantages of openSUSE is that emerging companies, universities and state organizations can start using it without risking to spend a lot of money on software/business that might never pay back. At the same time it's quite easy to get qualified commercial support when such a need arises. That combination is a great advantage of openSUSE over commercial software and software that has no options for commercial support. When comparing with other commercial products, openSUSE has its advantages as a FOSS product - product that one can own, modify, create free documents with (documents that don't make your friends/mates/co-workers/etc pay money for additional software to open them - so they can be easily shared). > > * Why do you love to do this When you love something it's because it's in your veins. It's my passion it's my life style, it's what i do for living, it's what i do when i want to rest. > > * How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of Basically, i experiment with everything, because i think it's important for my job to be aware of the software products that shape the IT market. openSUSE is one of the leaders and it's hard to miss this distribution. > > * The ambassador program is currently pretty informal and we expect the > > * Also, as an ambassador, you're the expert on your country/region, so > > please .............?

You probably expect me to say:"Yes", so :"Yes". Although, i'm not sure it's a yes/no question.
