I have a few questions Jos and then I'll get back to you about what
you asked me,if we create a distribution out of SUSE Studio is anyone
having commercial rights for that product and who is that?
Its creator or Novell?
What is it's license?
Isn't that product a FOSS Product?
Please let me know because we are a few steps behind on making a deal
and I would like to be sure on what I am talking about to others,
their concern is that none can have commercial rights and that the
product(distribution) is free for anyone.

Hi We were trying to thing ways in order to promote SUSE Studio which we think is something great,we were thinking SS and OBS mostly because we want people that use another distribution to know those two great tools and become more familiar with the openSUSE project.
So what is the story,as the Greek openSUSE team we are installing
openSUSE distribution and some other distributions to some old computers that a branch of scouts have but we are talking with some other higher grade (national) scouts so that we install FOSS to other branches around Greece.We had the problem that the PC's are really old and we need a lighter distribution,so Stathis said "Ok I'll try to make one on SUSE Studio" and I thought why should we do it and don't let other people be creative,let other people know this great tool and give anyone who wants the pleasure of making an operating system by himself?
So we thought why don't we ask for permission for the scout logos and
stuff and make a contest about who will create a Custom Scout Distribution? We are thinking in giving everyone a starter pack with logos and stuff that Scout want included in the distribution to download from a page,give a dead end(with plenty of time,not because people might need time to create a distribution but give us the time to promote it BIG),after that give some people to test all the distributions and finally the Greek openSUSE team and the Scouts(or maybe only the scouts) to choose the winner.I would like to ask if openSUSE can send us something to put as a prize,something symbolic, I really don't know.
Finally we have an 'official' Greek Scout openSUSE distribution and
after that if all this go well we could try on organizing a global contest about it,only think what might follow after that..Other organizations and a great marketing opening opening doors for openSUSE project around the world. You might think we are crazy or dreamers or what ever, we don't bother because we are...
Really an awesome idea! I like it a lot. How about I get you in contact with the SUSE Studio marketing people at Novell, they might want to help you with this?!?

sorry, but we are not responsible for market SUSE Studio, why its called not openSUSE Studio? Because its a product of SUSE Linux not a subproject of openSUSE
YOU are not responsible for anything - everything you do you take on yourself. Indeed, SUSE Studio is not a direct openSUSE product nor open source (though closely related and free to use). I gladly promote it as it reflects very positive on openSUSE that something as cool as Studion is build upon our stuff...
One more thing: remember Henne's keynote: DO NOT put down efforts of anyone.
