Hi ambassadors Today the list is now officially on FIRE, three new ambassadors, from three different continents ready to work hard about the openSUSE Project. Last(at least so far :-) ) but not least, a friend some of us made in SCaLE were he offered help in our booth there and the ambassador in California I promised that I would find ;-) (Thanks Izabel Valverde for the help on that). Please all give a warm welcome to Drew Adams, the new openSUSE ambassador from California-USA.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?
I have helped install openSUSE on several systems for new users. Also I have helped answer questions as they come up.
* What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Please tell us what you want to do the next 6 months.
I have found a fellow openSUSE fan in the area and he and I have been talking about doing talks about openSUSE at the local Linux and UNIX user groups. Also I have been in talks with a few people about the possibility of doing a podcast for openSUSE.
* Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE?
I am VERY ready to promote openSUSE and can't wait to officially be part of the ambassador team.
* What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE?
I think it has to be the 1-click-install. Linux users from other distros are always impressed by the one click installs after I show them openSUSE. But really there are so many well kept secrets about openSUSE that I love showing or telling people about (things like OBS, SUSE Studio, the power and speed of Zypper, etc....)
* Why do you love to do this?
I LOVE UNIX!! I think everyone should use a Unix system because of the power Unix can provide to the user. And there is not better Unix kernel than Linux and there is no better Linux distribution than openSUSE... therefore in my mind everyone should use openSUSE
* How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of experience?
I have been using Linux about 7 or 8 years now but I didn't start getting to know the shell until about 3 years ago. I started using Linux on a distribution called Lindows and eventualy ended up using Ubuntu and PC-BSD after Xandros bought Lindows/Linspire. Then after using Ubuntu and PC-BSD for about a year I came to openSUSE and have used it with few exceptions ever since. I have been studding to be a Unix/Linux admin and consider my skill level to be intermediate.

Drew, awesome! Chuck seems to be trying to organize our US visibility better, he might be able to give you some tasks hehe ;-) And think about joining the marketing if you're into more than talking at a booth - writing and such...
