Well...
As I say in the first place, I first had to get away all my encounter
feelings to that network. I'm of the ones that think that maybe its
not as open as should be, with his privacy problems and stuff, but
like Bryen say:
"So, if you feel that in your region/market, Facebook works well, GO FOR IT!"
Thats exactly the reason why I chose FB for this, because here in my
country almost everybody its a heavy user of FB, and its the common
way to call for meetings, and just get together.
So, my intention its boost openSUSE and GoSVe taking advantage of the
platform, because the common use here its to enter on that net at
least 4 times per week, or at least that was the result of a quick
marketing survey that I did.
So, I GO FOR IT!
Thank you for your thoughts! :D
Cheers! :D

Hi all!
The openSUSE conference is not so far away now. It is really time to start talking about it. So, who's up for writing an article about why people should go there? If you've been to earlier conferences, you know what is good and cool about it. If you haven't been there but want to, I'm sure you also have ideas about it ;-)
Of course you don't have to write alone: I've set up an Etherpad. No surprise there ;-)
I've made a start here: http://piratepad.net/wJ2WiNfp7X
Now this is not meant to be something perfect or great. It is about just getting a nice, enthousiastic article out on the conference. And make sure it is picked up by LWN and other tech sites ;-)
Any contributions are welcome: just go in, add your name on top, say hi in the chat and we can see in the colors what you have done. Anyone who did about 10% or more will be put in as author of the article when I publish it on news.opensuse.org and submit it to other sites. I will not put myself as author in there so that 10% is without whatever I wrote or edited. I will also look at the history - if you wrote a paragraph but it got edited heavily and there's little left of your original text, you're still an important author. Bad english does NOT mean you didn't start that text and put in important content: editing is easy, writing original stuff is hard. So you'll be credited!
You can either add things you think are important or matter, or just write such things together into sentences and paragraphs. Don't worry, others and myself will look at it later. I will do the final editing and put it live.
Wanna do some writing? Do it here ;-)

Other ideas on promoting the openSUSE conference are very much welcome. Once we post this article, I will need you all to tweet it, dent it, digg it and such to make sure it gets read by tens of thousands of people :D
big hug,
Jos
Hello from Thessaloniki, Greece.
We started the first ever greek web portal about openSUSE.
http://www.opensuse.org.gr
Our plan consists in two areas right now:
1) openSUSE Ambassadors
2) openSUSE Greek Translators
Good job was done during the previous decade on the greek localization
of openSUSE by the team Hellenic SuSE and later openSUSE Translation
Group (http://www.hostra.gr - you probably can find it at Web Archive
searching for http://hostrag.gr), which was dissolved around 2007.
Stathis Iosifidis (Ambassador, 2010)
Kostas Boukouvalas (Translator, 2004-2007)
Soon there will be a forum and the third objective of
3) openSUSE Forum Bandits
Regards,
Stathis

Dear Ambassadors,
As you are the 'openSUSE frontline', you get asked critical questions about openSUSE. The marketing team would of course want to help you with that, answering those questions for you and helping you to find the needed arguments.
That is why we set up this page: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Talking_points
Would you all be willing to have a look at it and put questions you get on the bottom of that page so we can see them and try to answer them?
Thank you very much!
Jos Poortvliet
Dear friends,
A while ago the following list was created:
http://piratepad.net/1BhrwTboSg
It is a list of things we can do for the ambassadors to support them in what they do - spreading the word about openSUSE.
This list is huge - and many of the things won't be done quickly.
But there is low-hanging fruit in there. Some of those things we already have, either on the old wiki or already on the new one. It is being gathered and linked to on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Marketing
Now what is needed is that ppl (you, yes) go through the list and either add links to the wiki pages where such information can be found, or add more information.
It ain't difficult - it just takes some of your time. You've all been enthousiastic about doing stuff, now's the time to step up ;-)
Go to the piratepad link and see if there is something you are interested in. And pick it up - announce you want to do it and start doing it!
You don't have to do it completely, or perfectly - if you're english is bad, no problem. If you only know half of what you need to know, put that half in there - even if it's just notes, it doesn't matter. Add the links and mail us to let others look at it and add their thoughts.
In general, what is needed is somebody to START a page and make a beginning. From there onwards it will move, I promise.
So if you want to do more than *discuss* things, if you want to really make a difference, this is how to do it!
Questions? Ask on the list or contact me privately.
Cheers,
Jos

Hi there,
I talked to pc world newspaper yesterday and asked them to add 11.3
media to the next release.
They asked me to write an article (about 3500-5000 character) about
openSUSE 11.3.
Anyone could recommend a good overview article to use as a guideline?
thanks in advance

I've seen on previous threads some stuff about Etherpad deployment... I
knew Fedora used Gobby for a while, which I was very fond of... but I've
also found they are making a FAD (Fedora Activity Day) around Etherpad
in mchua's blog[1].
Maybe some cool ideas might pop up...

Hi,
I've taken finally a more active role and I've proposed the creation
of generic Portuguese Language Forums and made myself available to
moderate the European Portuguese ones.
I'm also making myself available to become an ambassador for Portugal
and organize an event (this has mostly been planned with the support
of the local city hall for Fedora but never went through), so I'm
picking it up for the future.
As I'm starting something with SUSE Studio which was unreliable with
Fedora due to some weird package dependencies from the Red Hat Desktop
Team and specially due to my inactivity there, I'm ceasing soon my
ties with Fedora Project (alongside with other reasons which don't
matter for anyone except me and them, in a way personal).
I'm also making myself available for establishing cooperation with
Brazilian users and Ambassadors to reach a mutual agreement on
Portuguese Forums as there are two official branches (European
Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese) so we can provide a better offer
to our audiences. Maybe someday we can do a launch campaign in
Portuguese for the whole Portuguese speakers in the world ;)
File bellow (might have errors, dunno, but the idea is clear). I've
submitted it to forum moderators.
