Greetings! And if you're feeling adventurous.. You can add a microblog service to it (like Twitter).. OpenSource Microblog Software.. http://laconi.ca/trac/ Microblog Demo.. http://identi.ca/ With Laconica, you can even subscribe to twitter feeds.. and it is fully compliant with the Twitter API, so any application that works with Twitter could work with Laconica.. Just an idea :^) .:--------------------------------------------------------------:. David Alston alston@utdallas.edu "He fights for the users" <>< -tron On Wed, 8 Apr 2009, Thomas Schmidt wrote:

I was thinking about this and thought it would be cool to have an openSUSE Social Networking Site. Yes, I know it sounds weird, but think it would be cool to have a common social gather place for people that like/use/enjoy openSUSE. To me wikis don't jump out and scream community as much as a social site. I set up a demo site: http://www.opensuse-community.com

I know that is extremely similar to http://www.opensuse-community.org . I figured that worst case I could setup a demo site there. Whatever the outcome is, the domain can stay or I can redirect it. I'm interested in hearing your feedback.

It would be cool to merge that with users.opensuse.org, as I heard there is also a plan to create some grouping functions there.

I completely agree as far as integration goes. I want it to be a community building tool. A place where openSUSE users can get together/hang out. Not sure that I want some kind of import Also to answer the twitter question, there is something called "wire" that provides a twitter like feature. It would be interesting to get twitter tied into this.... It a very customizable system. Create an account and give it a try ;) Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
