[opensuse-project] openSUSE GeoCaching
Hi all, I would like to conduct a small experience in Portugal regarding openSUSE and geo-caching. For those who don't know what geo-caching is, feel free to take a look at [1]. This is mainly a 'treasure seeking' game for caches which requires pretty much the following: 1) Internet Connection; 2) GPS device (Android phones are cool) 3) GeoCaching client: I personally use C:GEO for Android. My interest was to plant a major cache in a point of interest called 'openSUSE Portugal CACHE'; the contents of this cache are meant to be: a) a pen for geo-cachers to sign the cache-log; b) the cache-log, which is pretty much a piece of paper where people sign their visits; c) some stickers (this requires maintenance, at least weekly as we should leave a few ones and not a large stock); d) maybe some openSUSE media; The cache logs are tracked online (they are public), so everyoen can actually follow it. The results I want to measure are simple, but I would like not to disclose them at the current time; Since we're running a new release, this would be an interesting point. What I need is a large batch of stickers and maybe some media to run this for a few months. I believe this can also be extended to Ambassadors on other countries. Cheap Guerrilla Marketing ;) Where can I have some stickers and media for my experiment?

This sounds like a great idea. Perhaps a small-scale version could also be conducted during the openSUSE Conference in Prague. Register for the conference, become eligible to participate in this treasure hunt and win some prize(s).

You can prepare a few caches to celebrate the EVENT and get people to
do it. Just make sure that you register the caches on geocaching.com
so that the whole world can see them :)
I might stay for longer in Prague for the PostgreSQL conference which
starts on 23rd, I was planning to do some caching around. If anyone
wants to gather a group for it... Feel free to ping me. Don't forget
to bring some brass knuckles :)
