Hi all,

later today I hope to be able to push a blog about Latinoware. Which will start tomorrow. There will be heavy openSUSE representation - and we need to make sure everyone knows :D

I noticed our hard working openSUSE ambassadors have published two articles (portugese AND english): http://latinoware.org/node/207 http://latinoware.org/node/202

And I wrote the following text:

updated text in attachment. Moreover, it doesn't have to be short :D feel free to take images from my blog (really, will publish asap, in say 20 min)

+++++++++++++ openSUSE at Latinoware

At Latinoware a team of openSUSE contributors will come together, not only to promote openSUSE but also to talk with each other about the future plans for the major linux distribution in Brazil. openSUSE has some awesome technology and great people - both deserve more attention than they get and this is what the openSUSE ambassadors will talk about!

At the conference, you can expect the following talks by openSUSE people:

A11y: Its about you! by Bryen "suseROCKs" Yunashko, international GNOME and openSUSE marketing and Accessibility expert; and "Why are you here?" by Jos Poortvliet, openSUSE community manager for Novell. He will be very friendly and the talk will feature kittens.

For those interested in educational software on linux, openSUSE ambassador Carlos Alberto dos Santos Ribeiro, one of the central openSUSE people in Brazil will talk about openSUSE Edu Li-f-e. There are two talks by ambassador Rogerio Ferreira: Xen for Dummies (about visualization on linux) and "Automatizando Tarefas ao Extremo com Shell e Expect". Conference co-organizer and all-round cool girl Izabel Cerqueira Valverde will talk about "GNOME Women & openSUSE Women - Mulheres e seus espaços".

Her brother, Ricardo Cerqueira Valverde will discuss "openSUSE apresenta Realidade Aumentada em Linux". Silvio Palmieri talks about "Laboratório de A a Z". And the openSUSE buildservice is covered by Alexandre Duarte Rogoski in "openSUSE BuildService - Construindo Softwares para Diversas Plataformas e Distribuições"

On Friday the ambassadors will have a meeting with their international guests and anyone else who is interested in contributing to openSUSE. ++++++++++++++++

Will SOMEBODY make sure that the information above does end up on news.o.o and gets tweated and such? Sorry for being so late with that. Oh and feel free to re-tweet my tweets even if you don't understand them, it'll probably be portugese and if they contain obscene words it's not my fault but my human translators'. Tell me and I will kick them :D

cheers, Jos

Obviously, those who want to know about those great technologies should go to the talks at the conference or talk to the ambassadors at the openSUSE booth. Especiall the Open Build Service, an unique technology no other linux community has to offer, demonstrated by Alexandre Duarte Rogoski in his talk, is a must-see. Jos Poortvliet, Novell's communitymanager for openSUSE, will also touch on the Build Service and another cool piece of tech: the Build-Your-Own-Linux-Distribution-with-20-mouseclicks SUSE Studio. Besides the buildservice, you can expect the following talks by openSUSE people: A11y: Its about you! by Bryen "suseROCKs" Yunashko, international GNOME and openSUSE marketing and Accessibility expert; and "Why are you here?" by Jos Poortvliet, openSUSE community manager for Novell.
