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!

It was great to be at LinuxTag, it was the first time I have been to LinuxTag in fact!

So here is what happened to me at LinuxTag:

On Thursday I had an interview with Radio Tux about openSUSE Education, which is not published yet.

On Saturday henne and I got interviewed by linux-club.de henne talked about SUSE-Studio and i gave some facts about openSUSE Education, you can listen to it here (German).

On Saturday we also had openSUSE day at LinuxTag and i had the opportunity of talking about Easy-LTSP (in English), a video of my talk and the slides will be available soon in the openSUSE wiki. And according to AJ it must be worth watching it

Beside these “major” things i had a lot of talks with teachers who want to use openSUSE in there schools and it was really great to show them how easy openSUSE Education Li-f-e is.

And of course it was great to meet all the people at the openSUSE booth and nubae!

Thanks to all who have visited us and to all who made it possible to present openSUSE and openSUSE Education in the way we could!
