Hi Helen, Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been a user of open source for years but have not been involved as a contributor. I'm very interested learning more about it all the 11.4 release is indeed a perfect opportunity to dive in. I will be very interested in finding some events to attend and help with. I missed the SCaLE event last month due to travel but heard that Jos did a great presentation there. Also, you might not believe this but I've actually used your drawing guides on about.com! I've been trying to self-learn drawing for the last 3 years or so and came across the content on about.com about 2 years ago. Would love to see some of your work - do you post any artwork on Flickr? You can look me up there as MMDrawings (but only if you promise not to laugh too much!).

Hi Michael, Welcome aboard! And what a delight to have a representative from Attachmate on the team. Your combination of technical ability and marketing expertise will definitely be a great asset. Have you worked with any open source projects in the past? I'm currently involved in the Art and Marketing teams. I'm keen to help work on a cohesive aesthetic for our next release, so that we keep nice consistent branding with a look (and plenty of materials!) that reflect our brand. We had some help for SCALE from Karl Cheney from the Novell office - I'm not sure if he was interested in becoming more involved (perhaps you could give him a nudge?) This is a great time to get involved, as I'm sure there will be a lot of strategizing once 11.4 is off and sailing under her own steam. Now I'm tempted to say something about feeling free to grab the wheel... or an oar... so I'll quit before the metaphor makes us seasick.... :) cheers, Helen On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Michael Miller <Michael.Miller@attachmate.com> wrote:
Hi openSUSE marketing team
I've been considering ways to contribute to the openSUSE project now that I've been using it as an OS for several months. I have a background as an engineer, but I could probably contribute more effectively on the marketing side these days. So, I'm reaching out to this team for ideas.
I may have met some of you already via email since I started promoting openSUSE inside of Attachmate recently but now I'd like to get more directly and personally involved as a contributor to the openSUSE project. It's a great distribution and a great project.
Let me know what I can do to jump in and help!
Best regards, MM
