Beginner / 入門

How someone from the other side of the world ended up on the openSUSE Board.

In this talk I will wander through my journey and experiences in the openSUSE project, and how over an 8 year period someone from the other side of the world to most contributors (Adelaide, Australia) ended up on the board of openSUSE.

Through this talk i'll cover many parts of the openSUSE project, how they work, how I got involved along with how others can get involved. Covering various areas like providing support through forums, irc and email through to getting involved with development in areas such as packaging and translating, focusing on the concept that anyone can be involved.

If the conference organizers would like a keynote from an openSUSE board member, I will be the person who will give the keynote this year and I will use this talk, otherwise i'm happy for to have it as a normal talk.
