WOW my gosh!

My prayers are being heard, and isn't it really cool! 

We are growing in numbers, quality and efficiency - I believe ;-)
This new one Ambassador sounds like a kind of a good tool for our
Brazilian Ambassadors engine in my ears, and of course for the entirely
Ambassadors Team too :D. (as everyone can see inside his lines - I
recommend it).

Alexandre, or should I say Rasta?

Welcome to this outstanding team, we believe that working together in a
organized and collaborative way we can help each other to build openSUSE
as showed bellow: 

* Make openSUSE Linux distribution the most widely used open source
platform.
* Provide an atmosphere for open source collaboration that makes
openSUSE the world's best Linux distribution for new Linux users and
experienced too.
* Dramatically simplify and open the development process and packaging
in order to make openSUSE the platform of choice for experienced users
and programmers.


To help us to better achieve our mission, we have a bunch of tools
already waiting for us to use it.

I'd like to give a warm welcome to Alexandre as Brasilian Ambassador

I'm appending as introduction his interview,
Andreas

* What have you done already for openSUSE?
In my state (Bahia/Brazil) i have a big case of implantation Opensuse.
In 2
years are installed 1400 desktops. These desktops are migrated from
Windows
(in varios versions like 95, 98 and XP). In sequence, I instruct many
employees how to use this distribution in many cities of this state,
including
Salvador, Jequié, Alagoinhas and Vitória da Conquista.





* What are your plans for promoting openSUSE?
Distribution of medias, presentation in Foruns and other events and
participation in FLISOL (Festival Latinoamericano de Instalação de
Software
Livre - Latinamerica festival of Free Software Installation). In this
events,
installations are realized in desktops from people with interest in use
of
linux.





* Are you ready to start promoting openSUSE
Yes, a have participate from other events, but not in legal
representation. I
observe that Opensuse is a great distribution, with advantages and
disadvantages in comparison with other distributions, like ubuntu and
fedora,
but, in general, Opensuse have very many features. However, I expect
migrate
windows users to linux, because I believe that is more easy convert
other
linux users to Opensuse only showing advantages from our desktop.





* What do you think is the best kept secret of openSUSE?
The powerfull and stability. Desktops must be easy and have more
funcionalities without forget the stability, confiability and speed.
Opensuse
is only linux desktop that have all of this features.



* Why do you love to do this
I believe in free software and in a near future proprietary software
will be
extinct. I want make part from this history.



* How did you start with with Linux/openSUSE? What is your level of
experienc.
I am a Infrastrutucre Support Analist. I have 10 years from experience
with
Linux like a System Administrator





* The ambassador program is currently pretty informal and we expect
the
ambassadors to organize themselves. So, please coordinate with other
ambassadors on the opensuse-marketing mailing list.
All right. No problem




* Also, as an ambassador, you're the expert on your country/region, so
please
share on the opensuse-marketing mailing list a bit about the
openSUSE and the FOSS community in your country/region, e.g. what are
their
needs.
My region have some people working with FOSS, and like I said, Opensuse
is
the best linux distribution, however, many other peoples dont know. I
want
contribute to disseminate this distribution. The more needs is
materials to
publish Opensuse distribution and support to make events. A wiki with
documentation in my main language (pt-br) is very important too
