The_Code of live

Last weekend the FrOSCon took place in Sankt Augustin and again this year openSUSE was present with a booth! For the first time in germany the booth was driven only by Ambassadors and users, AFAIK. So for this reason the event already was a huge success for openSUSE!

The new layout of the fair was much better this year, everything was on one level. Especially on Saturday afternoon there were a lot of people visiting and we were able to have good conversations and spread a lot of openSUSE DVDs.

The most exciting thing that happened was a blind visitor coming to our booth, he told us that our grub during installation was able to talk! We couldn’t believe it and no one ever heard of this feature, but it is true the openSUSE installation grub is able to talk, press F9 and it will begin reading the current selection. Unfortunately this is not visible in grub, feature request in openFATE is here.

You can find pictures of our booth and the event here.

Up next openSUSE conference in Nuremberg, looking forward to this great event!

Next weekend for the 4th time FrOSCon will take place in St. Augustin (near Bonn) and again openSUSE will have a booth at this great event.

So if you have some spare time and are in the area, drop by and join us.

And of course don’t forget the great social event Saturday evening!

Today my first day on a OSS Conference ever ended. I am at FrOSCon in St. Augustin and it is a real cool thing. I enjoyed talking to a lot of people and getting to know the importance of LTSP and education software!

Here is a picture of the openSUSE booth here in St. Augustin:

More pictures coming soon.

BTW: I will be joining Novell/SUSE next week for HackWeek working on the YaST Module for the education project. Looking forward to this cool event!
