I like it because there is some real value is having some movement at the booth and something that people can stop and watch if they are having an introverted moment and don't want to stop and talk to one of us. Also, it could give them some food for thought to form some questions to ask us, or spur their curiosity enough that they grab a promo DVD, or even just checkout opensuse.org later. It can also be great as something to connect with people over -- a conversation starter. If you would like some help, I can use recordmydesktop to show off KDE at least (I have been using KDE since late 2003, so I know my way around fairly well). I have an older system I could install with the different desktops that we can use to grab some video of them too... though they may not look as fluid as the KDE video I can make (I really have not used another desktop other than KDE in some time)... just let me know what you have in mind and how I can help. -- Drew Adams Member & Ambassador, openSUSE Project -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello, I finally have moment that I can write this, my name is Daniel after talking with Drew (who brought me on board with openSUSE) I am planing on working Scale this year. I am wanting to give back to community by helping create a few videos that can be playing at the booth. I need a contact in the Art department who is willing to help me if I need any artwork to help with the videos. I was think three videos: 1. One showing off the different desktops. 2. Showing off the different sub projects for openSUSE (IE obs, openQA Ect). 3. showing off the new features of 12.2.......I am also open for suggestions.

by Kevin Carillo 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Hi everyone, If you have joined the openSUSE project within the last 3 years, I would like to kindly request your help for a survey: https://limesurvey.sim.vuw.ac.nz/index.php?sid=65151&lang=en (open until November 21). The purpose of the project is to work out how newcomers to a FOSS community become valued sustainable contributors. This is part of my PhD thesis. Vincent Untz and Jos Poortvliet are supporting this research. Thanks!

[opensuse-project] Standing for the Board
by Raymond Wooninck 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hello Everyone, Hereby I would like to announce my intention to run for the Board in this years election. I guess that most of you know me already based on my work for the openSUSE KDE team. I have started working with Linux since the early days (Kernel v0.12) and used openSUSE since 2003. I joined the openSUSE project about 4 years ago when I submitted my first KDE package. From that moment things went very fast and I am currently the main maintainer for the KDE repositories and maintaining Chromium and the Plymouth bootsplash. One of the next things I want to tackle (package wise) is Dracut as an alternative initrd builder. My current "day job" is Application Portfolio Manager for a well-known bottling company that focus on the Central and Eastern Europe market. If you look closely at my IRC nick, then you could guess which company it is :-) In this job I am responsible for setting out the strategy of all Applications used within the company. This ranges from our main Enterprise System (SAP) to desktop tools like collaboration, email, etc. The strategy should e.g. enable Business opportunities to exploit the main Enterprise system further. If I am elected to the board, then my day job and past IT experience would be a good use. I would like to see the board to set out a new strategy for the openSUSE distribution which makes it possible to enhance our strengths and values. In the past SuSE has established a name for itself and it created some great tools, which even now are unmatched. Nowadays everything is about Usability and Accessibility. How usable is the software, how accessible is the information, how can I use this program, etc. I would like to extend this principles to the openSUSE project, On one hand we need to strengthen the relationship and the communication between the openSUSE community, including people working for SUSE. Only together we can accomplish great things. On the other hand we should value our end-users. These users are giving valuable feedback about how they see openSUSE with regards to Usability and Accessibility and their feedback should be incorporate into the final product. This drives the success of a distribution. Too many things out there are already being decided by a handful of people without listening to others. It is my opinion that the board should play a big role in both areas and to enable openSUSE to grow. My promise to you is that I will do my best to establish the above, If I would be elected.

[opensuse-project] Standing For the Board
by Richard Brown 13 Nov '12

13 Nov '12

Hello Everyone, I figured I'd get the ball rolling. I'm announcing my intent to run for the Board in this years Board Elections I'd hope most of you know me already - I've been using SUSE Linux since 2003 and contributing to openSUSE since the Project started. I've got my hands dirty in many aspects of the project, from testing, packaging, working on branding and artwork, to providing support on IRC. I currently work mostly in the GNOME, Marketing, and Ambassador teams, and have previously worked on the Artwork team. I'm an active Ambassador, who regularly attends conferences where I do my best to to both evangelise about our great project, but also gather ideas and feedback on how we could improve. I've been involved in the efforts to reshape the Ambassador programme into something more useful for openSUSE My current 'day job' is as a Systems Manager for a college in the south of the UK which uses a great deal of Linux and FOSS technologies, including openSUSE. Through that job, I currently hold a Board Member position of the TTP User Group, which consists of sysadmins of hundreds of Colleges internationally, all using SUSE/Novell/NetIQ products. If I am elected to the board, my intention is to be an enthusiastic and active Board member. I want to see our community grow in both numbers and activity. We need to be more vocal about our strengths, and most honest about our weaknesses. I think we need to improve communication across the community, and I'd like to see the Board take a more active role in resolving any disputes. I'd also like to see the Board stepping up to engage the community in helping out to address deficiencies or weaknesses in the project. I don't want to see the board starting to meddle in the affairs of development, but I do think situations like the delays to 12.1 could have been helped by having a board that is willing to speak up and call for the community to help out. So when the Ballots open in a few weeks, please consider voting for me, I promise to do my best if I am elected.
