Thanks a lot Victor!!!
This is a call for help
The openSUSE Asia Summit team is looking for volunteers as well.
We need people who can
1. come up with ideas for articles
2. write articles
3. review them.
and also improve existing ones for the next year.
If people are interested, I will start a separate thread for this discussion.

correohck(a)gmail.com has great points about news. At Fedora, the
ambassador's program there is well defined, very active, and the
responsiveness is almost always just about immediate.
The involvement and recruiting route for members and ambassadors for
openSUSE is currently confused with dead and outdated links on the
openSUSE web pages. I mention this because I went through it myself
recently to get to Ambassador status. There are also references to
mailing lists that are no longer used; I was routed to this one by a
friend who let me know that the one referenced on the web pages was
defunct.
We can go to technical conferences and encourage involvement from users
and also recruit them to get involved as ambassadors, however if they
get to the web pages and the links that route them to the status of
ambassador are outdated or no longer used, that tends to give the
impression that we are not an active or responsive community, and even
that sections of the website have been abandoned.
We need an active effort to get the openSUSE web pages up to date and
we need a well defined route to openSUSE advocacy for new recruits, as
we pull them in at the technical conferences. Otherwise the work,
effort and energy we put in on behalf of openSUSE towards new interested
users and potential new Ambassadors could be wasted effort. New users,
Ambassadors, and advocates are the future of openSUSE.

Hi listmates.
This is only my point of view about some lack on news in news.o.o.
I say this because there's nothing to read there about Alfa2 release,
and maybe would be useful to comunicate about issues in Tumbleweed (like
recent pam config issue or libqt5 righ now).
Yes I know that there's mailing list for that, but maybe more "noise" in
news.o.o for non mailing list followers would be apreciate.
Douglas are doing a great work there, but maybe more help, will give
more interesting articles to share and spread... (yep, you can answer:
itch your own scrath and do it, but english it's not my native language,
and I can't help with that, I do that in spanish ;) )
Just my opinion, nothing more... BTW I was checking some Conference
videos, great to offer a webm option to watch them and even download!!
Seems that was a great event, you had a lot of fun & hack there!
Keep on rockin'

Report on Friday 27th May 16
======================
Hi all,
Mind you, the crowd was some 44 minutes early, we were given some
strategic space, just 4 – 5 meters from the entrance, so that
everybody could see us. The population was mostly non geeks and we
spent quite some time explaining FOSS, Linux, openSUSE, SUSE,
Tumbleweed, other flavors as well because they heard that x or y was
good….
I started to believe that as there was a cold buffet afterwards
sponsored by the City Mayor, that we had just a madding crowd.
Promises of coming to our monthly sessions were unanimous. Only future
will tell.
Did find some time to show a few things to a few Saint Thomas about
openSUSE et al. The laymen have no idea of Linux, what is Linux etc.
We made no installation, just plain discussions.
Then came the food and all the stands were deserted out of the sudden.
>From the caterers, we were told that there were 207 meals served.
We packed past 21:00 as the next day we had SFD.
Report on SFD Saturday 28/05
======================
Back in business, thanks God for that.
Total visitors = 37
What we did: there has been 6 new installations of Leap in progress
and one as a VM on Virtual Box. A corporate admin wanted SUSE for demo
purposes on a 32bit laptop. Our 4G hotspot became red hot. More than
12 GB of ISO from suse.com
We have a regular visitor Hélène with Leap as well, maintenance visit:
needed CEWE (not working till now) Thunderbird and some FireFox
tweaking.
Senior team members helped around. openStreetMap was present as well.
We had a guy from South Korea (tourist) who stopped by. I burnt a DVD
of Leap for him to take home.
We had a Chinese guy as well, but he is a student in Rouen University
and he is supposed to be back next month. A few timid people just
smuggled in and out, Not in our statistics….
Many visitors came because they learnt about SFD and after touring
around, promised to come back.
I was surprised, many women came, I would say three out of ten. Looks
like if the heavy rain/flooding had something to do with this peak of
women visitors. I have a weapon for this, I put them in of Laurence,
our Secretary-General hands as well as Marila…. We did get them coffee
with compliments as well as cakes brought in by members and Hélène
baked biscuits. Who said that openSUSE was not a fattening business?
Anyway, we managed to close in time before the deluge! La Seine do
cross Rouen too before the estuary of Le Havre.
We are very excited about our future.
Until next time,
Thanks,
Jimmy
