Also, we have a milestone coming up -- openSUSE's 3rd birthday. Obviously, there are a lot of dates we could pull out of the air to use for the project's birthday, but I'm using the first release based on the project info on Distrowatch.
I would think the project's official launch date would be used as the birthday... which was mid-August ;-).
I don't know the date specifically, but I think it was in the project launch press release. -- Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy - openSUSE Member Public Mail: <kevin.dupuy@opensuse.org> Meet Bob Barr - Libertarian for President - <http://www.BobBarr2008.com/>
This could easily turn into one of those "When does life begin? At birth or conception?" questions. :-) But, since August has come and gone and we've blown that chance, let's stick to actual birth which Joe identified as October 6th. To that effect, I have an idea that could get the whole community involved and take only a minute of their time. Create a page on the wiki, or something, and make it a birthday card ala Facebook wall. Get the word out and have people stop by to wish openSUSE a happy birthday and state why they think openSUSE is great. Okay, this does sound like a lame idea at first. But, if it does pick up steam and enough people sign in, it could look pretty cool. What do you guys think?
