[opensuse-project] Application for the Board election
Hi all, My name is Sébastien Poher, also know on the internets as 'sogal'. I am 35 years old, I live in France, between Lyon and Grenoble and my day job is GNU/Linux sysadmin in a small cooperative company. I am not a super seasonned hacker but rather a skilled user who like to learn and share. Since I decided to use openSUSE in 2016, I have been maintaining some small packages that I missed in openSUSE, some of them have been included in Leap. I am a member of the French openSUSE community and as such I: * write articles about openSUSE news, tips and tricks and some other technical stuff * maintain alive our Diaspora and Twitter accounts * hold booths during FOSS events and report them in the wiki * am president of a French openSUSE users association (Alionet) and work hard to make french openSUSE community alive! So now that the ice is broken, let's go to the "Why do I run for board?" part. I like openSUSE, both as an OS and as a project. It has been truly easy for me to start contributing, people where helping and opened to discussion even when I made mistakes. I learned a lot thanks to this openness. Now I see this election as an opportunity to contribute in a different way to openSUSE and give back the project what I learned from it. If I am elected, there are two topics I would particulary like to work on: * the link between the project and its user base: how do we motivate our users so that they become contributors? how do communicate and cooperate with local user groups? * some interesting discussions happened few months ago about the juridic form of the project, the question of joining another umbrella organisation, a possible financial independance from SuSE. Those topics are very interesting. You can find more about me on: * my wiki page: https://en.opensuse.org/User:Sogal * my Connect page: https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/sogal Thank you for the time you took to read me and thank you in advance for your votes.
