Hi all,
Chuck asked me to post this to the marketing mailing list the report he
did from SELF, which took place this past weekend.

So when I got there on Thursday the shirts were there, so thank you. The
event went well, we had 500 people there, this was the second year for
us
to do remote access. So for $5 bucks, you could watch any and talks that
weekend. I got a talk about using OBS, SUSE Management w/foreman, AWX,
and
few other open source tools to build a great devops office with having
to
have the budget of Bruce Wayne.
Thank you for doing the kubic design. A lot of people came to the table
alone just to ask what that was. So it was great to have something to
get
people asking questions.
So I had one Gigabyte Brik with openSUSE 15.1 on it and my pi box ( I
built
this about 4 years ago with a pi 2 and Tumbleweed on it ). along with
50
DVD I burnt, next year I need to find a place to buy USB in bulk, I only
picked about 4 from Microcenter because of time. More and more people
are
asking for USB, in fact, I did 3 for Tumbleweed and just one for Leap. I
gave away about 15 DVD, one thing seem more and more laptop don't have
DVD
players.
One thing I keep hearing over and over from people was that they moving
away from Fedora to openSUSE because of Tumbleweed and Leap Installer. I
only had one person talk about BtrFS, this same person asked me about
ZFS
in openSUSE, which I wasn't able to answer. Overall great. Plus,
Southeast
Linux Fest always happy to have us.
A couple of things I am going to working on so I have them, slides with
video. Since it looks like SELF will do more of the remote access video,
I
am going to try to get a talk in. Also, I am hoping to be done with a
new
pi box that will use to burn USB on demand.

Hi,
Today [through my usual unplanned wiki ride] I landed on this page
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Strategy from the Novell era (2010) and
it was a really interesting read, mainly the SWOT analysis.
Surprisingly, (or not) a lot of it is still relevant today, even tho
on the other hand, a lot happened in the tech world.
How *and if* the community demography itself has changed? what
challenges do we face today? and where are we heading next? I think
this is a good time to look back again and analyze the outcome of the
last decade and maybe how other distros did compared to openSUSE
(specifically Fedora and Arch)
Looking at the last few years, what's your view? would be cool to hear
some opinions of people who did the last round.

Last Friday we organized a rather big launch party for Leap 15.1 at a
professional school in Gran Canaria (Spain).
See pictures at
https://photos.app.goo.gl/YSpmFBE3oKqf7M1z5
Although it was targeted mainly to teachers and students of the Computer
Administration and Software Development courses, the event was open to
everyone. As it can be seen in the photos, it was pretty well attended
(around 80 people).
Most of the Canary SUSE Mafia was there[*] (Saray, David Kang, David
Díaz, Iván, Imo, Xabi, Rubén and Knut) and we installed openSUSE in
around 10 computers and answered many questions about openSUSE, Linux
and Free Software.
To make it more interesting, we turned it into some kind of
mini-openSUSE Conference in Spanish, with several presentations about
Linux and Free Software. And to make it more fun, we invited local
speakers from Red Hat and GNU Health.
There were talks about:
- Presentation of Leap and the event itself
- Free Software for a Living
- Crash course of cloud administration (by Red Hat folks)
- Configuration management with SaltStack (by Imo)
- Ruby on Rails 101 (by Saray and David K.)
- Virtualization in Linux for gaming and more (by Rubén)
- Version control with Git (by Iván and David D.)
- Continuous integration in Tumbleweed (by me)
- Free Software in the public health system (by Gnu Health)
We also had some merchandising to give away:
- Tons of stickers (they worked very well)
- Five plush chameleon (people LOVE them, they fight for them)
- 20 backpacks
- Other random stuff
Thanks Douglas for providing the merchandising. It made a difference.
All the attendees and the invited speakers were very thankful for the
event at all levels, so I think we can call it a success.
Cheers
[*] Thanks to all of them for organizing the event and to SUSE for
allowing them to be there the whole day (it was a working day).

Hi,
So my interview is almost ready, but the truth is I never saw an
interview getting publish "in action" and just wanna make sure I'm on
the right track. to my understanding the general process goes like:
1.FInd a candidate
2.interview
3.publish
- Do I've to post the interview here [on marketing(a)opensuse.org] for
feedback or just let you guys know?
- if feedback/review is required, how much time before I can proceed in
case no one showed any interest?
- when to use news(a)opensuse.org? or just stick to marketing and that's
all I need?
- How the decision inside the team is made? just as an example last
time I suggested changing the name of the project and feedback was
positive, what next?
- Anything else to be aware of? (about how to operate in the team)
Thanks.
