Hey Ambassadors Please all give a warm welcome to our new ambassador from India, N.B Prashanth from Manipal.
Who? ;-) Welcome Prashanth, keep rockin' :D
Below you can learn more about him and his relationship with openSUSE as he told us in his own words.
We have a couple of questions for you: * What have you done already for openSUSE? I worked on porting libYUI as a part of GSoC 2011. I am currently organizing the openSUSE yearbook/magazine project. * What are your plans for promoting openSUSE? Please tell us what you want to do the next 6 months. I would like to complete the magazine project which, I hope, would be a big boost to marketing openSUSE. If it works well, we could have more frequent publications. I am also open to helping the team in any other way if necessary. * Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE? Yes. :) * What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE? It's innovations. There are very few people who know openSUSE for more than it's distro. How many people know openQA or OBS? * Why do you love to do this? It's the first distro that I have started to use consistently without feeling the need to change. Moreover ,I have learnt a lot from oS already. I learnt packaging through OBS, management through marketing hackfest and Autotools through GSoC... :) * How did you start with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of experience? I started linux 3 years ago. I am comfortable with programming for linux, packaging (deb and RPM) and writing autotools build systems. I started with oS at 11.1 and started using it exclusively since 11.4.
