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.
Nelson,
Cool that you're going to set these things up. Like Carlos a bit further in this thread I'm not exactly clear on what you're going to do.
Set up a EU-portugese forum (I hope on forums.opensuse.org) next to the brazilian one? And a separate mailinglist? Or did you want to have a joint forum but separate mailinglist or the other way around?
To make things short, we've been discussing several alternatives, looking into possible problems we might get, and so far we've achieved already some itneresting points in which we agree. Nothing is set on stone except the fact that wiki, opensuse-pt and the established Portuguse stuff are not to be changed in any way. The only thing those foruns are meant to be is informative and support to all the resources, in a way, a bit like a catch-all and eventually a first triage process. Users looking for support will be referred to the existing community (susebr.org) sounds a nice option. Users looking for active enrollment will be targeted with extra $care and probably more personal approach, most likely by Ambassadors or other appointed people from the community. opensuse.org has higher visibility in Portugal (specially through pt.opensuse.org) than susebr.org. I believe that google's geo-targeting has a strong influence on this. I would love to explore that situation and provide a first line in opensuse.org. I also believe that susebr.org has higher visibility in Brasil. I believe that shortly we will have a plan on what to do.
Maybe it is my lack of sleep, but I don't get it ;-)
Bulletpoints, dude, bulletpoints! for the less smart ppl among us ;-)
Love, Jos
Nelson
