(Apologies for the cross-posting) Hello All, It's that time of year again! FOSDEM is at the end of the month (30 & 31 Jan) and as usual, openSUSE will be there, big, bold and as green as ever FOSDEM is one of our biggest events of the year, and is an exceptionally good opportunity to see what is going on in the big wide open source world and start conversations collaborating across our various projects. Kostas has arranged for a booth at the conference, and I believe he is still looking for volunteers to help man it. I would expect a formal Call for Volunteers in the next few days, but anyone who is keen to help can probably email him directly already - warlordfff@opensuse.org . Given all the changes regarding Tumbleweed and the launch of Leap lately, I'm expecting even more interest in the openSUSE booth than usual this year, so the more volunteers the better. The openSUSE Booth is the focal point of our presence at FOSDEM, always with lost of people coming up and asking questions. In between attending tracks I'd encourage all openSUSE contributors to stop by, say hello, and help out at the booth, even if it's just answering questions of passers by. We are one of the more active projects out there these days, FOSDEM is one of those chances to really show it. For those of us lucky enough to live near Nuremberg, SUSE are sponsoring a coach which will be taking as many as we can from SUSE's HQ in Nuremberg to Brussels Most of us are staying at the NH City Centre or NH Stephanie hotels, so picking a hotel near there will be most convenient - I cannot promise the bus will be able to drop everyone off at their own hotel. It will be leaving *promptly* at 10am on 29th, and returning late on 31st (it's a long drive, but a lot of fun) There are currently 14 seats available, please email Michael Haefner (mhaefner@suse.de) if you're interested in coming along Thanks, Richard Brown openSUSE Board Chairman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
