I think that the people behind the openSUSE project, the members of the openSUSE community, should become a little more visible to each other.
I totally agree with you! It's funny because some days ago I had the same thought...
Therefore I am planning to do several interviews with different community members (i.e. the 'People of openSUSE') about their involvement in the project and also about their personal life and interests. The interviews will always contain the same set of questions and will be published on openSUSE.org.
So like a "People Behind KDE" style, correct?
Here are some possible questions for an interview (this is really a first draft!):
Clear and brief: Age Place of birth Location Occupation Family status Mainly used distribution Preferred desktop Favorite application Hardware Homepage / Blog Favorite season: spring, summer, autumn or winter? ...
Add nickname to the list.
Questions related to the openSUSE project:
Suggestion 1: - A person ask you why should he/she choose openSUSE instead of other distribution/OS. What would be your arguments to convince him/her to pick up openSUSE?
Suggestion 2: - Three words to describe openSUSE.
Someone transfers you $1.000.000 from his bank account – what would you do with the money?
It's obviously that he would donate all the money to the openSUSE project ;-)
Last but not least, which kind of pictures are you willing to publish on openSUSE.org (pictures of you, your pets, your desk, your car, your desktop, your house etc.)?
I think that people are more interested in seeing how he/she desktop looks like because it's a kind of personal-geek-thing.
If somebody would like to support me with the interviews and maybe even consider to take over in a couple of months - let me know.
I can help you even though it's simple because questions are the same interview over interview so we only need to point out to someone. How frequently are you thinking to do/release the interviews?
