Hello Community,
at FOSDEM the openSUSE community has been invited to attend the
Software Freedom Kosova[0] planned from April 17 to 19.
I was wondering if some of our community members from that area are
already planning to attend the conference. This will be an important
opportunity for sharing more about our project and strength the
relationship between the openSUSE project and the local openSUSE
community active there.
As you already know, this year we will also co-organize and co-attend
events together with the LibreOffice community, as part of the shared
celebrations for our anniversaries. I know that the LibreOffice
community is already planning to attend the Software Freedom Kosova.
I already added this event to the events wiki page[1]. Feel free to
contact me if you have any questions.

I am actually wondering: do we have a central place where any of
us has easy access to up-to-date material to promote openSUSE?
What Sarah mentioned above is one example, statistics perhaps,
an "intro to openSUSE",... I assume many of the things Vinz has
in mind.

PS: I tried to find this on our web site and with Google and did not
succeed, so maybe it exists and my search skills failed me here?

Dear Geekos,
during fosdem 2020 I was approached by the organizer of the Linux Information
day in Oldenburg (https://www.lit-ol.de), asking if someone from the openSUSE
community could run a booth there and/or give a talk about 'Multimedia and
games on Linux'.
The info day is on 28.03.2020 in Oldenburg.
If you are willing and able to support, please reply by PM. Some openSUSE Swag
will be supplied.
Thanks
Axel
