Last Friday we organized a rather big launch party for Leap 15.1 at a professional school in Gran Canaria (Spain).

Although it was targeted mainly to teachers and students of the Computer Administration and Software Development courses, the event was open to everyone. As it can be seen in the photos, it was pretty well attended (around 80 people).
Most of the Canary SUSE Mafia was there[*] (Saray, David Kang, David Díaz, Iván, Imo, Xabi, Rubén and Knut) and we installed openSUSE in around 10 computers and answered many questions about openSUSE, Linux and Free Software.
To make it more interesting, we turned it into some kind of mini-openSUSE Conference in Spanish, with several presentations about Linux and Free Software. And to make it more fun, we invited local speakers from Red Hat and GNU Health.
There were talks about:
- Presentation of Leap and the event itself - Free Software for a Living - Crash course of cloud administration (by Red Hat folks) - Configuration management with SaltStack (by Imo) - Ruby on Rails 101 (by Saray and David K.) - Virtualization in Linux for gaming and more (by Rubén) - Version control with Git (by Iván and David D.) - Continuous integration in Tumbleweed (by me) - Free Software in the public health system (by Gnu Health)
We also had some merchandising to give away:
- Tons of stickers (they worked very well) - Five plush chameleon (people LOVE them, they fight for them) - 20 backpacks - Other random stuff
Thanks Douglas for providing the merchandising. It made a difference.
All the attendees and the invited speakers were very thankful for the event at all levels, so I think we can call it a success.
Cheers
[*] Thanks to all of them for organizing the event and to SUSE for allowing them to be there the whole day (it was a working day).
Thanks for report. I do not see any specific talk about YaST, but I expect it was mentioned in some talk or during hall talks. So what was feedback specifically about YaST?
