Hello folks, I am Nitin Sookun, also known as Ishwon or Ish, from Mauritius. I work as an Application Management Engineer at Orange Business Services & I am openSUSE Advocate since 2010. During the past years I have evangelized openSUSE by participating in various Linux Festivals\Seminars & presented the project. Since a few months I'm also organizing weekly Linux meetups where junior penguins are popping in. That way we had 5 new advocates from Mauritius & they are doing a great job promoting openSUSE in their workplace & university. I've also encouraged them to start their blog & write about their experiences. My openSUSE related blog posts can be found here : http://hacklog.in/category/linux/opensuse-linux/ Well ... That was a quick intro about me & activities in Mauritius. Being on the board, for me it'll be a chance to liaise with people & empower the Advocates. The geeko should rise everywhere, on stat pages, distrowatch, benchmark reports etc ... I have only recently started liaising with developers & graphic designers locally. As a board member I'll try to be the listening guy who can channel requests & ideas to the correct destination, bringing also new people into the project. I hereby submit my candidature to be considered :) Warm regards Ish Sookun - Geek by birth ... Linux by choice. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |H|A|C|K|L|O|G|.|i|n| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
