[opensuse-marketing] Article to encourage non-technical participation in openSUSE/FOSS
Hi folks, I'm writing up an article with the aim of encouraging non technical people to participate in projects. I'm trying to keep the tone very light and fun. It's just a dump of ideas right now and needs to be structured. I have no idea where I'll submit it. Possibly Linux.com, or maybe a print magazine (Linux Format?) Please feel free to add your suggestions/comments and if you add much material, leave your name for due credit. If you have any good quality, publishable images taken at events these would be great too. If anyone has a non-technical partner who regularly participates in FOSS work I'd be very happy to hear their comments. A quote on their experience would be nice. http://piratepad.net/tpJmpiYeNG cheers Helen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Wondering what's going on with this, you still on it? Because it has some good text... Could be a good series on omgsuse.org for example...
