Michael,

You will be interested to know that OpenSUSE folks want to use your 6200 book. But there is also some issue with a broken link you might know the answer to.

You might want to respond to him as well, regarding the license. MaryJo would like them to go ahead and use it, BTW.

Dave

Dear MaryJo

I'm writing to you as member of the openSUSE-Education community[1].

We hear from the Novell Training Services Team and some of our members already use the great "6200 - Get Ready for Open Source: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (Book 1) "[2] course from your website.

We tried to use your Feedback-Formular[3] as mentioned on the course webpage, but this link sadly did not work (Error: 404). So I like to ask you as VP of the Novell Training Services and hope you can redirect it to the right persons if necessary.

The openSUSE-Education team wants to "package" your great book in a RPM and place it on our openSUSE-Education add-on and Live-Medias. So people using openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise can benefit from your great work directly (the RPM package will create desktop entries, so people can easily find the book on their desktops for example). But we're not shure if we're allowed to do so at the moment...

So: 1) Can we use your book[4] as base for a new package and place it on the Education media? 2) What's the exact License of this book?

With kind regards, Lars
