. Do you know about YaST? Yes, it´s the setup tool for openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise. YaST = Yet another setup tool. The mascott is Yastie, an elephant. 2. Do you know about Tumbleweed and Evergreen? Tumbleweed is a rolling release repo by Greg Kroah-Hartman, Evergreen a LTS-repo for openSUSE 11.1 by Wolfang Rosenauer and others. 3. Do you know about connect? Our hopefully successfull Facebook-attack ;) 4. Did you know zypper just got faster in 11.4? Now I know it ;) 5. Do you know about patterns while installing openSUSE? No, but I know about them in SUSE Studio 6. Do you know that default preferred OS for GNOME3 thorughout the testing and release phase was openSUSE? Yes, but I thought first, the will use Fedora because of Red Hat. 7. Do you know about openFATE? Yes. 9. Do you know about the multiple desktop selections we have in openSUSE? Yes. I several times blog about it. 10. How many times have you been asked "Is openSUSE Linux"? Too much ;) 11. What do you tell people when they ask how different is openSUSE from UBUNTU / other distributions? It´s cool, I work on the project, you have a friendly community, it´s easy to use, you got a nice lizard...
No, I tell them how easy you can use YaST2 and zypper and the whole KDE desktop. And I tell them, that with SUSE Studio and OBS, their creativity isn´t set a border.
12. Did you know YaST works in ncurses, Gtk and Qt interfaces? GTK and Qt I know. What´s ncurses? 13. Did you know OBS is used by meego, dell and other industrial vendors when distributing their own linux distributions? Yeah! 14. Can you quote something nice about openSUSE, we can possibly use your quote ( after mentioning you offcourse;-) ) at the news team. openSUSE is too me not a distro with a project. It´s a project that delivers a free and open build environment, a nice connection tool, a great community. As a sideeffect, they even produce a distro you can easy use. 15. Do you know we have an artwork git repository that keeps you upto date with latest marketing materials like posters, slides etc? I´m afraid, no :( 16. Do you have any localisation issues?

1. Do you know about YaST?
of course
2. Do you know about Tumbleweed and Evergreen?
yes
3. Do you know about connect?
yes, and I don't like it :-(
4. Did you know zypper just got faster in 11.4?
no. I used it and didn't notice. 11.4 is generally fast (but I have a fast computer, this helps :-)
5. Do you know about patterns while installing openSUSE?
shure. I miss an "packman pattern", downloaded when packman is selected as repository and with basic mp3 + dvdcss preselected
6. Do you know that default preferred OS for GNOME3 thorughout the testing and release phase was openSUSE?
no, but I know Vincent, so not surprised :-)
7. Do you know about openFATE?
yes. Good idea, bad implementation. who ever read it? so very few people vote.
9. Do you know about the multiple desktop selections we have in openSUSE?
I have installed kde, gnome, gnome shell (aka gnome 3 preview, I can't install both kde4 and gnome 3), xfce, lxde and go on the same way icewm, metacity and twm. In used to have windowmaker and fvwm2 :-) - but my computer is often used as demo! I *use* kde and kdm allows easy switching
10. How many times have you been asked "Is openSUSE Linux"?
rarely, I mostly presen,t openSUSE as openSUSE Linux (as was time ago SuSE Linux). I was asked "is openSUSE Ubuntu?" (and don't like it :-)
11. What do you tell people when they ask how different is openSUSE from UBUNTU / other distributions?
two kinds of the same Linux, with different user experience. Nearly same answer when asking : wich is better, kde or gnome?
12. Did you know YaST works in ncurses, Gtk and Qt interfaces?
sure, I manage a server with ssh/yast - tried webyast, but don't find it yet usable.
13. Did you know OBS is used by meego, dell and other industrial vendors when distributing their own linux distributions?
I'd now for meego (but dont really know what is Meego :-(), but di'nt know for Dell. That's good.
14. Can you quote something nice about openSUSE, we can possibly use your quote ( after mentioning you offcourse ;-) ) at the news team.
Linux is choice, openSUSE IS choice. openSUSE can fit nearly any user experience. Any user interface, any harware (old or new)
15. Do you know we have an artwork git repository that keeps you upto date with latest marketing materials like posters, slides etc?
this one have yet to be done friendly. Last time (two weeks ago?) I could only download the tgz with all files. Really lack of web interface, at least ala cvs!
16. Do you have any localisation issues?
yes. SuSE was, very long time ago, very well spread in France. But there where problems and this stopped. But French are not that english friendly, so they want french. having the demo dvd in french is the next important step for us.
17. Do you know about the ambassador portal and can you suggest changes to it?
I don't really have time to look at it. I don't like the new wiki, I never find in it what I'm searching for. In my opinion a wiki don't have to be organisez. It needs a good search engine, that's all. With the new organisation, it's no more possible to write on it without hassle. Now I use my own one.
18. Do you know about the flickr group openSUSE has?
yes, but don"'t really have time to look there
A lot of questions it seems but it will be definitely helpful so that we can provide you with better materials and stuff like that.
openSUSE needs desperately better testing on multimedia apps. The packager (Dave Platter) is extremely friendly, but the mix between openSUSE and Packman (inavoidable for legal reasons) makes it very difficult to report bugs and fix them. So visibly very few people uses openSUSE for it's multimedia capability. I work on this direction right now, but feel really lonely :-) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org

Hi Peeps,
We have a small questionnaire for you guys, please answer them. Along with this, if you can write a small quote / paragraph we will try to quote you at news.opensuse.org if the news team likes yours. The questionnaire is below
1. Do you know about YaST? Y
2. Do you know about Tumbleweed and Evergreen? Y & Y
3. Do you know about connect? Y, but I think it should be a diaspora node ;-)
4. Did you know zypper just got faster in 11.4? Y; zypper gets faster for every release.
5. Do you know about patterns while installing openSUSE? Y; I wrote a news article about server patterns, and plan another on development patterns.
6. Do you know that default preferred OS for GNOME3 thorughout the testing and release phase was openSUSE? Y, and Fedora's going to get credit for the first major distro to release with it :/
7. Do you know about openFATE? Y
9. Do you know about the multiple desktop selections we have in openSUSE? Y
10. How many times have you been asked "Is openSUSE Linux"? 0: I always refer to it as "openSUSE Linux"
11. What do you tell people when they ask how different is openSUSE from UBUNTU / other distributions? #1 thing I say is scale/focus: openSUSE offeres a much larger scope of software and flexibility from a single install medium, and our Promo DVD is the awesomest of awesome.
12. Did you know YaST works in ncurses, Gtk and Qt interfaces? Y
13. Did you know OBS is used by meego, dell and other industrial vendors when distributing their own linux distributions? Y
14. Can you quote something nice about openSUSE, we can possibly use your quote ( after mentioning you offcourse ;-) ) at the news team. I am a chameleon: developer, systems administrator, artist, author, organizer, volunteer, teacher, parent. I need tools that can adapt as well. That's why I choose openSUSE Linux.
15. Do you know we have an artwork git repository that keeps you upto date with latest marketing materials like posters, slides etc? Y
16. Do you have any localisation issues? N
17. Do you know about the ambassador portal and can you suggest changes to it? Y; it overlaps scope w/connect, IMO. We need to reduce overlap in tools/sources, and make sure things are in one place, but linked from everywhere for easy finding.

A lot of questions it seems but it will be definitely helpful so that we can provide you with better materials and stuff like that.

Hi Peeps,
We have a small questionnaire for you guys, please answer them. Along with this, if you can write a small quote / paragraph we will try to quote you at news.opensuse.org if the news team likes yours. The questionnaire is below
1. Do you know about YaST?
Y, it's my setup tool of choice, especially when working on the GUI.
2. Do you know about Tumbleweed and Evergreen? Y, Tumbleweed is the rolling release, while Evergreen is the LTS version, currently based on 11.1.
3. Do you know about connect? Y, it's the SocNet platform for openSUSE related activities.
4. Did you know zypper just got faster in 11.4? N, is that not supposed to be self evident though?
5. Do you know about patterns while installing openSUSE? Y.
6. Do you know that default preferred OS for GNOME3 thorughout the testing and release phase was openSUSE? I knew it was being used, but wasn't aware it was the OS of choice.
7. Do you know about openFATE? Y. It's basically a feature request and evaluation system for future openSUSE releases.
9. Do you know about the multiple desktop selections we have in openSUSE? Y, I personally have KDE, GNOME, Xfce and LXDE installed.
10. How many times have you been asked "Is openSUSE Linux"? Rarely, but yes, I have been asked this.
11. What do you tell people when they ask how different is openSUSE from UBUNTU / other distributions? To tell the truth I do not recommend openSUSE to all and sundry, just to who I would call "normal people". Some people prefer the greater amount of experimentation Fedora apparently offers. But I do say that openSUSE and Fedora, I feel are the only real Linux flavours that give us a comfortable, modern, and trouble free computing experience. The legendary stability of openSUSE just gives it a slight edge though.
12. Did you know YaST works in ncurses, Gtk and Qt interfaces? GTK, Qt - Y. And ncurses - I have absolutely no idea what that is.
13. Did you know OBS is used by meego, dell and other industrial vendors when distributing their own linux distributions? Y. OBS is as much, maybe even more in the news these days than the distro itself.
14. Can you quote something nice about openSUSE, we can possibly use your quote ( after mentioning you offcourse ;-) ) at the news team. openSUSE is the first, and to date only mainstream distro I have encountered that shows that free doesn't mean sub-par, advanced doesn't mean complicated and customisable doesn't mean confusing. It shows us that sometimes, just sometimes, we really can have a free lunch.
15. Do you know we have an artwork git repository that keeps you upto date with latest marketing materials like posters, slides etc? Y, I pull stuff from it regularly.
16. Do you have any localisation issues? Y. On using openSUSE in Bengali, the only change I seem to notice are that the digits have changed language.
17. Do you know about the ambassador portal and can you suggest changes to it? Y, I quite like it. If I have a suggestion, I'll do it myself. Too much work for some people anyway.
18. Do you know about the flickr group openSUSE has? Y, I am a member, if that's what it's called.
A lot of questions it seems but it will be definitely helpful so that we can provide you with better materials and stuff like that.

Ok let start the exercice
1. Do you know about YaST? Yeap have start using in 2002, and continue to use it, not for everything. And you already try WebYast ?
2. Do you know about Tumbleweed and Evergreen? How can we miss those two noisy project : Tumbleweed the rolling release powered by Gregkh and Evergreen by Wolfgang our LTS like 11.1 and 11.2. But returning the question, are you ready to get involved in those sub-project : without help none of them can survive !
3. Do you know about connect? Oh sure, one of the two "social portal" I use. So easy to create a pool with that an get geeko-linked !
4. Did you know zypper just got faster in 11.4? Yeap compared to 10.3 zypper in 11.4 is just 225% more quicker
5. Do you know about patterns while installing openSUSE? Patterns and me it's a story of love and hate at the same time. Love example : Pattern kernel-development, one package to be called, and you (or the user you're helping) get everything ready to build something special for it's hardware.
Hate example : Minimal server, which miss some useful packages ( It's not jeos pattern ) and use -desktop kernel flavor by default in place of -default ...
6. Do you know that default preferred OS for GNOME3 throughout the testing and release phase was openSUSE? Yeap, also fc15
7. Do you know about openFATE? Yeap our market place for wishes, but don't be wrong, even mostly or highly wanted features need someone to implement them Follow my glance to Plymouth integration
9. Do you know about the multiple desktop selections we have in openSUSE? Sure, one of our strength ... 5 one click away kde,gnome,lxde,xfce, tty with server :-)
10. How many times have you been asked "Is openSUSE Linux"? I don't remember a such question.
11. What do you tell people when they ask how different is openSUSE from UBUNTU / other distributions? Freedom of choice, Good as desktop & server with one media. Did you like apt-get ? If yes give a try to zypper, rocks better!
12. Did you know YaST works in ncurses, Gtk and Qt interfaces? Sure, even if I regret the differences we have between our 4 versions. You forget webyast :-)
13. Did you know OBS is used by meego, dell and other industrial vendors when distributing their own linux distributions? You just teach me about Dell. I know about Meego
14. Can you quote something nice about openSUSE, we can possibly use your quote ( after mentioning you offcourse ;-) ) at the news team. [ Long time after filing the whole questionnaire ... Freak the blank line ? :-) ]
openSUSE, it's all about humans, we work together trying to package chaos. Making it a openminded community, which know we're nothing without all upstream and other projects. We try to do our best, and know also we failed in some part. But we already are working on it!
15. Do you know we have an artwork git repository that keeps you upto date with latest marketing materials like posters, slides etc? Sure, I'm one of the admin. Ask if you want to contribute.
16. Do you have any localisation issues? Unfortunately yes. I was really disappointed to discover missing keyboard layout on promoDVD. Which is really bad. No way to use our promoDVD for swiss-french people. (remark the swiss-german layout is there ... )
17. Do you know about the ambassador portal and can you suggest changes to it? opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassadors I deduct the url, and it work. Did you see how I'm happy this time with the wiki :-) I know that a such a page exist, but didn't reread that recently. My wish (should already done by myself) but prefer to ask. Add a Read, Accept and sign the Guideline Rules, and not just a blind signing ...
18. Do you know about the flickr group openSUSE has? Yeap, I spend too much time on it, especially after OSC. Unfortunately, I didn't have a flickr account. Should I ?
A lot of questions it seems but it will be definitely helpful so that we can provide you with better materials and stuff like that.
Hope this help someone, or just me :-) Questions : why didn't use connect for that ? Each ambassador has an account on it no ?

1. Do you know about YaST? Yeap. That tool was probably the main reason I left any other OS behind and devoted to openSUSE
2. Do you know about Tumbleweed and Evergreen? Yes and I try to promote them wherever and whenever is possible. Recently I wrote an article about those 2 in a Greek Linux Magazine.
3. Do you know about connect? Although I am not a FB user i would say I liked connect, although it still needs some work to be done in order to work properly I think...
4. Did you know zypper just got faster in 11.4? Yeap, I did. Becoming better in many ways is what we all do in the openSUSE Project. Zypper getting even faster is a prove of that.
5. Do you know about patterns while installing openSUSE? Yeap I do. Not what each pattern does but I am aware of their existence.
6. Do you know that default preferred OS for GNOME3 thorughout the testing and release phase was openSUSE? Yeap. I too dislike the fact that Fedora will take the credit to be the first distribution releasing it but this is life...No harm feelings we'll get them next time ;-)
7. Do you know about openFATE? Yes. I am using it also and I encourage people to use it too. It is a great community tool, maybe the greatest.
9. Do you know about the multiple desktop selections we have in openSUSE? Yes,in fact here in Greece we have some people experimenting with openSUSE and Enlightenment (E17) too.
10. How many times have you been asked "Is openSUSE Linux"? None I start talking to people about openSUSE telling 'openSUSE is Linux' ;-)
11. What do you tell people when they ask how different is openSUSE from UBUNTU / other distributions? Top three of what I say: -More stable yet with all new applications installed. -Great Community,meaning very friendly-out of the box that respects peoples opinions and having fun by participating in it. -Idiot-proof meaning that as long as you know what you are doing it will probably never crash.
12. Did you know YaST works in ncurses, Gtk and Qt interfaces? Yes
13. Did you know OBS is used by meego, dell and other industrial vendors when distributing their own linux distributions? Yeap, OBS is another Great tool brought to us by the openSUSE Project and solves a lot of developers (and not only) problems.
14. Can you quote something nice about openSUSE, we can possibly use your quote ( after mentioning you offcourse ;-) ) at the news team. 'openSUSE, even firefighters can use it ;-) '
15. Do you know we have an artwork git repository that keeps you upto date with latest marketing materials like posters, slides etc? Yeap, I use it very often
16. Do you have any localisation issues? No problem there.
17. Do you know about the ambassador portal and can you suggest changes to it? Yeap 18. Do you know about the flickr group openSUSE has? Yeap I do
A lot of questions it seems but it will be definitely helpful so that we can provide you with better materials and stuff like that.

1. Do you know about YaST?
2. Do you know about Tumbleweed and Evergreen? Yes Tumbleweed is the rolling release - I haven't yet ventured into it I
Yet Another Setup Tool - (never heard of it j/k) yes of course I have heard of yast and use it regularly. I use it for server and hardware configurations mainly I prefer zypper for software management its just quicker to type a one line command for example to add repos. prefer the stability of 11.4 with the options of additional components such as kde 4.62 - I only upgrade that what is considered to be important for bug fixes. Evergreen is prolonging the life of discontinued versions of openSUSE although I don't know quite why it is required.
3. Do you know about connect? No 4. Did you know zypper just got faster in 11.4? I just thought it was because it downloads everything first and then installs everything.
5. Do you know about patterns while installing openSUSE? I have a vague idea about it, I guess this is how it always knows exactly which software to install. When we select KDE Desktop, there is a list of associated software with the correct graphical version ie GTK or QT.
6. Do you know that default preferred OS for GNOME3 thorughout the testing and release phase was openSUSE?
I only found that out 1 week before the Launch Party for Gnome 3 as a KDE User I don't pay that much attention to Gnome development personally I don't think I have any hardware that Gnome 3 runs on so I don't see what the big hype is about.
7. Do you know about openFATE? No maybe its a members only thing?
9. Do you know about the multiple desktop selections we have in openSUSE? I created the opensuse-lxde channel on freenode and I also use KDE and IceWM.
10. How many times have you been asked "Is openSUSE Linux"? Usually everymonth when I do my marketing pitch in Sheffield and Leeds.
11. What do you tell people when they ask how different is openSUSE from UBUNTU / other distributions?
Ubuntu is moving away from the Desktop market and focussing on tablet and portable device market since its parting of the ways with Gnome 2.x but to be honest imo Gnome 3 seems to be similar.
12. Did you know YaST works in ncurses, Gtk and Qt interfaces?
If you use Gnome or KDE you get GTK or QT and if you use shell you get ncurses? Webyast I haven't tried.
13. Did you know OBS is used by meego, dell and other industrial vendors when distributing their own linux distributions?
I did not. If dell ships Linux how come all the Dells I see are running Windows?
14. Can you quote something nice about openSUSE, we can possibly use your quote ( after mentioning you offcourse ;-) ) at the news team.
openSUSE to me is the distribution, the operating system, openSUSE is a one stop software solution that incorporates a stable reliable Graphical Operating Environment with the latest in Office Productivity, Accounts, Graphical Design and Multimedia to name but a few. It can be used as a web server as well as the desktop tools to design the content for the server. Best of all if you join the project you can contribute toward the development and help the shape the project in the future.
15. Do you know we have an artwork git repository that keeps you upto date with latest marketing materials like posters, slides etc?
Yes but I have no idea how to actually browse it i tend to just use http://opensuse.org/portal:/opensuse_miscalanious_artwork or whatever it is this week as it keeps getting moved..
16. Do you have any localisation issues?
As british english is my localisation I don't think so it would be nice to have British English as apose to American English as default :D
17. Do you know about the ambassador portal and can you suggest changes to it?
No
18. Do you know about the flickr group openSUSE has?
I uploaded my Desktop there so I guess so
A lot of questions it seems but it will be definitely helpful so that we can provide you with better materials and stuff like that.
Hope that helps :) -- Kind Regards Stuart Tanner Bolton Linux 24 Vincent Street Bolton BL1 4SA Tel: +44(0)1204 410474 Mob: +44(0)7868 028028 www.bolin.org.uk Distributing openSUSE in the UK Registered Linux User: 529825 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org
Hello All
Thanks a lot for the answers :). I really appreciate it.
I have updated the talking points... mostly it was copy and paste work
but if you have something to add please do so as I am certain to miss
some stuff along the way over here
http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Talking points
Bruno, Sure I will try to have more such points every few months I
enjoyed it myself
Lots of people did not know what ncurses is so I will give a brief
intro on it. Ncurses is an interface when you are unable to open
gnome/kde/ whatver desktop you use through command line. So Instead of
using through various command line options we can use it even when we
do not need Xserver for server purposes etc.
I missed out on WebYaST as well.. to simply put it is YaST in your web
browser I have not tried it myself so cannot say a lot about it.
Thanks a lot All
Regards
Manu
