* What have you done already for openSUSE? 1) Packager and upstream developer of the following OBS packages: a) ovaldi - Open Vulnerability Definition Intrepreter b) xmlsec1 - XML Security Library 2) Author of 2,214 source code definition files in the OVAL XML language. I have submitted them to National Institute of Standards and Technology. All accepted by peers and are available for use by general public. Completed. 3) Author of 6,000+ source code definition files in the OVAL XML language. I have queued them for submission to National Institute of Standards and Technology.

* What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Please tell us what you want to do the next 6 months. 1) Local marketing. I have partnered with the local Starbucks for 3 events in the near future highlighting openSUSE. 2) Local Deployment. Currently utilize openSUSE-based system for deployment of educational resources for Institute for Security and Open Methodology training classes for elementary, middle school and high school students entitiled "Hacker Highschool". These training classes are preemptive introductions for the Local School System to openSUSE. 3) Local/Remote Marketing. Two openSUSE derivatives are planned for deployment and marketing within the next 2 months.
* Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE? Yes, as an elected Official openSUSE Member; i believe it is my responsiblity to do so. I have requested promotional DVDs from openSUSE Promotions already and have began developing high-quality presentation slides highlighting the features and benefits that coincide with my target market.
I dabble in the Infosec area of openSUSE. It's what I enjoy. So I figured why not promote the distribution that I enjoy as well. I would like for everyone to enjoy the freedom and relief I receive by utilizing the wonderful openSUSE Linux distribution.
* What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE? The terminal or the getsysinfo() scripts.
* Why do you love to do this? I like to have control of my system. openSUSE allows me to do just that---and it looks good doing so.
* How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of experience? I began studying Linux while earning my Microsoft Networking Engineering certificate 10 years ago. I ditched Microsoft Windows; and have been using Linux ever since. Bought Boxed Packages of the following releases: 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3. I still have the packages and proudly keep them well beyond their end-of-lifecycle! ;) I then took a hiatus and dabbled with ubuntu for awhile. Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 LTS. Then returned to openSUSE right before release of 11.2.
Cheers. Thomas R. Jones

Welcome to gang, if you need anything let us know. I am a bit south of you. But glad to help any way I can.
Welcome to the troupe and have a lot of Fun !
Thomas,
thanks a lot for answering these questions but please follow the process as explained at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors#How_do_I_join.3F
The openSUSE ambassador team will review your "application" in general first and guide you in the steps and then announce you as new ambassador with these questions.
Let's ask the welcome team how they want to handle this now - and whether they want to "approve" your request and add you to the list of ambassadors.
Please keep up the enthusiasm you have, Andreas
Hi Thomas I am Kostas. Along with Manu and Carlos we are the Ambassador welcome team. I believe that you should send us an e-mail there and follow the procedure like all other ambassadors around the world did so that we complete the whole procedure right. You might find that a bit bureaucratic but it is not when it becomes correctly. Thank you for wanting to become an openSUSE ambassador. Hope to hear from you soon. Kostas Koudaras

Kostas, I had sent the response email to your request for information on Friday April 1, 2011. Since that time I have noticed other notifications of new ambassadors. Without a response to my email; thus I assumed that I had done something incorrectly.
As another point, i was told to send an email with my responses "to us". I assumed this was the welcome team but after no response; I was inclined to believe that "us" meant the mailinglist.
That's fine. Proceed as you are required.

Something obviously went wrong here because I never got an e-mail and I understand that that you have no reason to lie about it. Sorry for the whole situation we put you through. Can you please resend your original e-mail to the ambassador-welcome@opensuse.org If I won't get your e-mail by tomorrow I will contact you back. Again sorry for that. Kostas

No harm done, we're all humans. Could you help updating the webpage so that the next ones understand this better? Either change it yourself or tell us what exactly should be improved...
