Hi friends, This is ADM here!
Nice to meet you here, ADM.
I was watching this list's activities from morning and was silently working to bring something to this community which will make it more alive! A mailing list and wiki are not always enough. From my long experience I know what are the needs of new ambassadors :)
I think finally after the whole day's long effort I am finally ready to announce our very own community website where we can share videos/images. We can write blogs, create groups, discuss in forums, listen to music and many more things. This is OpenSUSE Global Community for you my friends :) hope you like it. I also request you to collaborate and improve it.
I took your proposal as one of the answers for my opinion in another post: "I wish the Ambassador program will help sharing our knowledge, ideas, experiences, know-hows, issues and concerns for promoting and introducing openSUSE." I agree with you that it would be helpful if we have the way to share large video files. However, IMHO, whether it would be better or not for us to have such a social networking service *in order to share materials* is considered a separate issue from Ambassador program. If we had better have a new *concentrated* social networking service for openSUSE users in addition to Wiki, mailing lists, forum and IRC channels that we already have - and you know, there are many other social networking services like linux.com in which we can find openSUSE related groups - I can't find the reason why I should combat the idea. ;-) However, whether we *really* need such a social networking service or not should be discussed in some other place, and if we will have such a new site, I think it would not need to be restricted only to Ambassadors. If it would be a good communication tool, I think it's better, all users can use it, and of course Ambassadors may use it for their purpose. So I think your proposal can be divided into two elements: - Do we need another social networking service in addition to already existing communication methods ? what are the benefits and negative effects of having it ? - Is it useful and necessary for Ambassadors to have a way to share share large video files ? Are there any existing way for that ? Should we organize a new way for that ? I know these two elements can be integrated, but IMHO, these should be discussed separately at least in the first stage.
