[opensuse-marketing] Texas Linux Fest
Guys, Here is my report for the Texas Linux Fest. I showed up at 7am, because I was told what when we could set up. Vendor couldn't set up until 9am. So since I was early didn't have a lot to do. I helped out set up tables and anything else they asked me to do. Once we got everything set up, I got the table set up. Doors opened at 10am, we had over 300+ people. I had over 400 11.1 disc and 110 11.2 DVD, some t-shirts, stickers and ipod cord holders. I was able to pass out all them by 5:00pm. In between handling out stuff. I answer a lot question about openSUSE. Here are the most poplar questions that were asked... * When is 11.3 coming out? * Why should I try openSUSE over Ubuntu? * What makes openSUSE stand out over the other Distros. * What is the differences between openSUSE and SLE. * Webyast vs. Webmin ( only because they were their) I had other questions, a quick summary... what is open Li-f-e, Autoyast vs. Spacewalk, drivers for media, and can you help with NV Drivers. This was the first Texas Linux Fest and the folks did a great job. When the event was over, I went to dinner with folks from IBM, Webmin, and TLF. Next year if I get to go back, we are talking about doing a birds of the feathers for openSUSE users. I have posted some photos on my facebook page and I will be adding a video shortly that a summary of the day. -- ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

Thanks very much for your stellar representation of openSUSE. I think your list of most popular questions is an excellent reference point and we should continue to build on this as well as others who have attended events or encountered such questions and compile a grand list of "Most expected questions" at an event and what the sane answers are to them. This will help everyone to be better prepared for the events they attend. Earlier today, you and I chatted a bit about the fact that we lacked booth materials compared to other vendors like Debian and Fedora. And its true that presently, we do not have an event kit, nor do we have funding for it yet (but we can always ask), I'd like to get your observation listed here or if we create an "Event Kit Wishlist" page on the Wiki for reference, we can start to consider what is needed to build such a kit. And thanks! You're doing a great job of tackling the Southeast region of United States.
