Hello folks, I usually organize openSUSE events at the Universities or cybercafés in Mauritius. Recently I noticed a growing interest in Linux around the place where I live. I know this was surely after critics on the Government spending MUR 50M on a website revamp based on Microsoft Sharepoint. We could then see so many Mauritians screaming ‘why not open source’ on the social networks. At the same time many more Mauritians asking ‘what is open source?’. Then last week I wrote to the President of Providence Village Council (the village where I live) asking if I can organize an openSUSE Workshop on their premises. The response was awesome. The president phoned me and said he’ll be very happy with the event and would encourage many people to attend it and learn about Linux :) See the letter I sent : http://hacklog.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/openSUSE-workshop-letter.pdf So, I started with requesting some Promo DVDs. I contacted friends to print posters and get some cloth banners. I’m still working on graphics & flyers that we can use to promote the workshop through social networks. We haven’t decided on the event’s date yet. Once everything is decided and organized I’ll post on openSUSE event’s wiki page. For now I’m so happy with the response that I wanted to share with you all.
