Congatulations I really liked the booth questionnaire, short and meaningful ,I am thinking at adopting it in my next event. Nice work. 2010/10/5 Carlos Ribeiro <carlosalberto.net@gmail.com>:

Francisco,

SO nice to hear so good news. Congratulations for your participation representing openSUSE ambassadors and thanks a lot to include an Brazilian government incentive for usage of open source in public and private schools as a reference in your presentation.

About your quickly fast and furious online questionnaire for booth visitors, wow.. that's it a such good and easy to implement idea. Congrats for the initiative and specially for share with others.

#off-topic Are you aware of Latinoware?

Thanks again keep in touch CarlosRibeiro

Hello Francisco, Latinoware hosts include portuguese, spanish and english. Please feel welcome to join us. Best Izabel 2010/10/5 Francisco Arias <francisco.arias@gmail.com>:

Hi Carlos,

I didn't know about Latinoware. It seems to be a big event (expecting 3k guests this year)... are you attending to Latinoware? as ambassador? I guess this is a great chance to spread openSUSE.

I'd really wish to attend but my portugues is really bad.

I hope many openSUSE ambassadors from Brazil can attend!

Yes, we need some of these and help in generating them is needed!

A curious fact was that next to my booth was Fedora's booth and they brought a few CDs (or DVDs) and flyers for visual inspection only (plastified, I guess), so people can read them on some kind of little plastic lectern (like computer descriptions on stores [1], I don't know if I'm explaining myself). Maybe we can do something similar. [1] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64556/openSUSE/Thing.jpg

Hi Ricardo, My work as ambassador for this event is going to be completed if I can attend the next year and check (using the same questionaire) that openSUSE was spreaded. If I "stole" a couple of users from Ubuntu (the most popular according to the survey) I'll be happy ;-) Sadly, I'm not going to attend Encuentro Linux because of my job. I hope some people can organize an openSUSE stand, that can help a lot. Good luck on your presentation.

Hi Francisco,

Thanks for sharing the experience. You have really done a great job. Now I wonder if you are attending Encuentro Linux this year. I am going to give a talk out there, sadly (and don't know why!) my openSUSE proposals didn't make it so it will be over PySide. So far I have talked with Luis about requesting openSUSE stuff for the event. Let's make this one big event for the green ! Are you in? Let us know, please =)
