[opensuse-marketing] [Idea] What can I do for openSUSE
Hi list, I have been recently trying to mentor a volunteer on IRC how to contribute to openSUSE (GNOME specifically) and I ran into the issue, what to recommend a newcomer to do? This reminded me of the following page that Fedora provides: https://whatcanidoforfedora.org/ What are your thoughts about creating something like that for openSUSE? Or does something like that already exist?

Hi Dan, we have such a wiki page[1], too. I recommend translations, Advocating or testing as the first step. In addition, that depends on the (non-)technical backgound of the openSUSE newbie. Best regards, Sarah [1]https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:How_to_participate

Hi Sarah, thanks for the link! I'll point the newbie to it. Cheers, Dan "Sarah Julia Kriesch" <ada.lovelace@gmx.de> writes:

Speaking of Fedora's activities I really like their magazine: https://fedoramagazine.org Maybe we could start something similar? Regards, vinz. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Dan, Thank you for the mentoring. You're doing a great thing by sharing your knowledge. Fedora did a really good job with the website. The questions and interaction is done very well. The code is here - https://github.com/fedora-infra/asknot-ng Perhaps someone with some Python skills could make some adjustments for openSUSE. It would probably be best to send an email to opensuse-project@opensuse.org to ask for help and someone just might take the idea and run with it. v/r Doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
Hi Doug, I guess that the mayor undertaking of such a project wouldn't be writing Python but creating a design and content that fits openSUSE. Those are unfortunately areas where I don't feel comfortable at all. Cheers, Dan ddemaio <ddemaio@suse.de> writes:
