The openSUSE Project is opening the call for participation in the openSUSE
Summit 2009[1], to be held September 17 through 20 in Nuremberg, Germany.
We're looking for contributors to openSUSE, upstream projects, and members of
the openSUSE community to participate[2].
The summit will be an opportunity to bring the openSUSE contributor community
together to share ideas, experience, hack, and help guide the direction of the
project. So we're looking to members of the community to give presentations,
tutorials, and lead birds of a feather and panel sessions in several tracks:
* Community: Marketing, translations, wiki, documentation, forums, and
openSUSE governance.
* Desktop: Topics related to the openSUSE desktop, including KDE, GNOME,
Xfce, and applications.
* Server: Use of openSUSE on the server or development of server
applications.
* Toolchain and System: The kernel, YaST, packaging, and openSUSE Build
Service.
* Open Day: Saturday will include a track for openSUSE users and people new
to Linux.
If you're interested in presenting at the openSUSE Summit, fill out the Call
for Participation Form[3] with all of the details for your participation.
We're accepting talks, tutorials, birds of a feather, and panel discussion
submissions. (Birds of feather sessions will be scheduled after hours.)
The summit will not be entirely composed of prepared presentations, so we will
be accepting a limited number of proposals.
Deadline
========
All proposals must be submitted by May 20th. To submit a proposal, fill out
the form[3] before 12:00 UTC on May 20.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to keep openSUSE on the headlines by creating
respins, official updated Live CD's (additionally KDE 4.2 CD's, so
trendy nowadays). Otherwise short after a release it's quiet until we
get a new milestone what took 4 months :)
Best Regards
Bender

@OWN Team Translators
Although Sascha hasn't announced yet, there are some changes on issue
#69 - current issue - since the status was 'Translation Ready'.
Changelog:
- New section 'OpenSUSE for your ears' has been added under
'Localization'
- Removed Stephan Binner from 'Credits'
@Sascha
Will 'OpenSUSE for your ears' be regular section ? If so, we have to
modify our translation.ini file corresponding to this. And, "OpenSUSE"
should be "openSUSE", right ?
Best,

Hello,
My name is Raul Libório and I live in Brazil in the city of Salvador in Bahia
and a lover of openSUSE user =)
I write to you in order to know if there is any possibility
to acquire some of the openSUSE promotional material for two major
events that will happen on 29 and 30 May, the III ENSL
(Third Meeting Nordestino Free Software) and FSL IV (Room
Festival Software Livre da Bahia).
This is the largest Free Software event in the Northeast and will
rely on private companies, government and many people who know or
not free software and openSUSE. I would represent the
openSUSE the community during the event, sharing our
distribution and strengthening the base of users here in this state, which
is very low.
Some installation DVDs would be a great tool! If
some type of folder or planfetos will help even more!
The ENSL III & IV FSLBA is an event that usually occurs once every
2 or 3 years. In this edition, it will rely on John Mad Dog, among
other:)
If want to give, this is the link for the event. Previous editions
are available to the left side of the site.

I am very grateful for the attention of you,
thank you very much!
ps: Personal apologies if English is not the best, was translated by
Google Translator;)

Hi everyone out there!
Just like in Concepción (with our member Luis Lastra) in Coquimbo we
had a lot of fun. Around 80+ people attending talks and installation
during the whole day and of course some openSUSE users showed up.
I had the chance to meet a really enthusiastic SUSE/openSUSE user
(Enrique Herrera) and we tallked about organizing the openSUSE
community here in Chile which is just great. To start with I joined a
facebook group he created called "geeko's". Well there are ideas of
planning release launch parties install fests, starting a group in
Novell.com's community, etc.
I could not take many pictures of installations but will look for them
soon. One cool thing is that all of our 30 "home burnt" openSUSE cd's
were given away I'd say that's good since there were other distros
that weren't that popular. openSUSE was pretty close to ubuntu this
time. Maybe it was because I was wearing the 11.1 contributor t-shirt
;)
Well, that is the news from me. Thank you so much for your support,
pictures coming soon :).
@Zonker: the request has not arrived yet. Anyhow, once it's here it
will be useful to promote the geeko.

Hi all.
Following leads on community development after reading Clay Shirky's "Here
comes everybody - the power of organizing without organizations" I came
across with the pdf file - "The Community role in openSUSE life-cycle" by
Dinar Valeev.
Being an openSUSE fan - for its qualities and concern in graphical
environment, I would like to find out more about the role of the community
in product development as a personal investigation and a probable issue for
master in MKT thesis.
Does anybody care to help / point directions where to find documentation /
evidences about this matter?
I realize that this is a big issue -not a novelty, though - and my
proposition is probably a blur! Still...
Thanks all.
Rodolfo.
