openSUSE Linux event in Mauritius
Hello friends, First of all a big thanks to Andreas, I received the promo DVDs on time. We had our openSUSE Linux event on UoM's campus yesterday, 30 September 2010. It was rocking and we received plenty feedback. Got students interested from faculties of management, humanities, agriculture etc...contrary to our belief that this event will attract computer science & engineering students only. Many of them are newbies, and openSUSE will be their first taste of Linux. I'm thus providing them some support through mail, will soon start and openSUSE blog here in Mauritius. I've explained them how they can get support and advice through IRC etc. I've seen that the computer labs at the University are currently using Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint. I've distributed some DVDs there also. In total we've distributed some 500 DVDs on the University's campus and a few dozens among Linux enthusiasts at Indra Cybercafés. We got openSUSE geeko printed on some tshirts for this event :) Here are some photos of that event: http://s669.photobucket.com/albums/vv53/ishwon/openSUSE-UoM-2010/ Kind regards, Ish -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org
I jumped on the Beta of SUSE Studio a while back and knew it was going to be a great product. Now I'm back on and designing my first full-blown appliance, working out of Gitorious. I'm curious - what kind of work is being done for SUSE Studio by the openSUSE Ambassadors? Of course, SUSE Studio does SLES, too... I sell the system all day long at UCLA where I work, since we are a SLES shop. How is everyone else selling SS?

Hi Christian, Ahh UCLA...my old stomping grounds. We must connect at some point. openSUSE Ambassadors do promote SUSEStudio in conjunction with OBS talks and its great that people do that. I would encourage it more because its a great way to leverage the benefits of the project toward the greater FOSS community. Just wanted to mention a disclaimer however. We work more in conjunction" with the SUSEStudio team. SUSEStudio itself isn't a part of the Project and works on its own separate agenda. That's not to say we reject them because we don't but rather that we re partners because the benefits overlap both projects.

Exactly. Know that unlike OBS, SUSE Studio, while cool, is NOT open source and a commercial product. The site is obviously free and we should promote it as it leverages openSUSE and OBS etc etc but there IS a distinction.

Jos, When I do talks about openSUSE, I weave in SUSE Studios as a part of the openSUSE Community. I usually make a CD with the lastest openSUSE Desktop, with openoffice, firefox, and a couple games, so that people can see what it does. Usually the start up wall paper is the linux fest logo. I can give you guys a link of one that. Chuck -- ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

Sounds pretty cool. Our ambassadors could easily clone that one for talks or install fests! If you feel like keeping it up to date and having some nice content there (eg documentation, slideshow stuff etc) that'd be pretty useful. So please share that link! And I guess we should assemble a set of images for a nice slideshow at conferences. Can be set as wallpaper or something... I am working on it, will let ya'll know once I have something.
