IIRC, when I became a opensuse team member I was given a email address of some kind, but I don't recall being encouraged to use it and I never have.
Assuming I recall correctly and the email address identifies me as identified with opensuse, simple things like encouraging its use by team members is a form of free and subtle marketing that I think can go a long way in making the overall community appreciate how much the suse team contributes.
Greg, that was (and still is) precisely the idea behind the @opensuse.org email addresses ;) (I was the one pushing for that, initially, quite some time ago)
And also the fact that implicitly or explicitly, someone with an @opensuse.org email address is seen as having some sort of responsibility in the project. Which is why we don't just give them around to everyone, but only to the openSUSE Members: our contributors.

Pascal (or other),
How do I find out what my @opensuse.org email address is.
I guessed at a couple and sent them emails, but nothing showed up in my normal inbox (as it should per the wiki.), nor my spam box.
I also looked at http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Preferences and don't see it shown to me.
I like the idea, but it needs a little more visibility I think.
Greg
Actually one of my guesses worked, it just pushed into a subfolder because of a filter I have and I missed.
Still seems the preferences page should show it.
It's currently configured via users.opensuse.org but nobody can change it besides the admins ;-( We need to overhaul users.o.o - one suggestion is to build up a new system that allow changing your forwarding address as well, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
