I don't really know howto manage an international association, but I know for sure that having one in some countries could make life better. mot sport associations works that way, local relays, international covers.
didn't you see people saying they used to buy boxes to help suse?
that said there is not here and now a great movement in that direction :-(
Yes, and SUSE stopped doing it because it's not a sustainable business model
internationalization or boxes? nobody ask for boxes, manual may be (but it's probably too expensive)
openSUSE doesn't need money to survive
it's not a matter of surviving
We need contributions
Lets focus on that, don't talk, don't pay, just DO
DO making people come more how? one of the main reason to have some organization is precisely to make people come. and I think we are pretty short of ideas on the subject, we do not need incantations, but actions. It's not true to say that money is never a problem, else we should have ton's of booth kits in every language and we have not. But mostly, Having some people pay is a way to participate, and if somebody wants to pay a small fee each year it's better than nothing Say to be practical. IMHO we need ten people that accept to engage on the "friends" group to be able to begin something. The only risk is to don't have more than now and lose some of our $, but much less than what I already spend in a year on the subject. Right now I don't see the 10 people. So I wont continue to argue very long. If one want to be in the 10, please write so here and double this by a personal mail to me (just to be sure I don't miss it) thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
