Dear friends,

A while ago the following list was created: http://piratepad.net/1BhrwTboSg

It is a list of things we can do for the ambassadors to support them in what they do - spreading the word about openSUSE.

Oh great, I write a pile of stuff and it bloody up an disappears! :{

And now we have a different pad.... is that one going to disappear any time soon??

This list is huge - and many of the things won't be done quickly.

But there is low-hanging fruit in there. Some of those things we already have, either on the old wiki or already on the new one. It is being gathered and linked to on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Marketing

Now what is needed is that ppl (you, yes) go through the list and either add links to the wiki pages where such information can be found, or add more information.

It ain't difficult - it just takes some of your time. You've all been enthousiastic about doing stuff, now's the time to step up ;-)

Go to the piratepad link and see if there is something you are interested in. And pick it up - announce you want to do it and start doing it!

You don't have to do it completely, or perfectly - if you're english is bad, no problem. If you only know half of what you need to know, put that half in there - even if it's just notes, it doesn't matter. Add the links and mail us to let others look at it and add their thoughts.

In general, what is needed is somebody to START a page and make a beginning. From there onwards it will move, I promise.

So if you want to do more than *discuss* things, if you want to really make a difference, this is how to do it!

Questions? Ask on the list or contact me privately.

Cheers, Jos
