[opensuse-marketing] very interested students on studying days of the FernUniversität in Hagen
The last studying day in this semester is behind me. 2 weeks ago I have been for a studying day for programming in Hagen. That was a revision by our professor with his assistents. We have been 100 students. 40% have been women. Provenances are France, Rostock, Hamburg, Hannover, Berlin, Cologne, Neuss, Bochum, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Munich, Nuremberg and everywhere else. All are working in different jobs and are very motivated. I was surprised about a project manager. She is working full-time and is learning for 2 different areas of study between the job. She is very overwrought and thinks about which test to write. Others are working as a systemadministrator, software developer, editorial journalist, teacher, office management assistent, biological technical assistent, ... We all are studying computer science (Bachelor of Science). Our courses are coming to the end at the studying center in Stuttgart, too. We are 20 students and 1 tutor there. Our tutor has got the Diplom of the FernUniversität in Hagen and is working as a software developer for KabelBW. Students are coming from everywhere in Baden-Württemberg (Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Villingen-Schwenningen, Freiburg, ...). 50% are women in our course. Many of them are real talents in computer science. You can have fun with them. Most of the students are very interested for Linux and new technology, too. I told them about openSUSE. Some of them are thinking about coming to the conference. The teacher isn' t happy, because our school holidays in Baden-Württemberg are in the week before the conference. A systemadministrator, who lives in Bochum, wants to come. Another one from Villingen-Schwenningen is interested for that, too.

Hi Sarah, Are you saying about 100 students want to come to the openSUSE Conference? Now that sounds pretty awesome, but we should then organize something for you girls and boys so there's some cool content... What kind of things would you be interested in? Perhaps I can convince my wife to do a Ruby-on-Rails workshop or such, Henne did something last year but she told me she thought it was focused on too wide an audience. Maybe have two or three, each for a different audience... I'm sure we can organize plenty of stuff! Cheers, Jos
Best regards, Sarah
