They just do it. Sometimes they contact us for information, questions - or ask for info on how to create a special localized version of openSUSE but they do that themselves too. There's no money involved or anything, it is free software etc after all :D Kim's suggestion to ask them to ship openSUSE sometimes is not a bad one but you have to be a bit careful: they might say "sure, if you pay for it"... They pay for this currently themselves so that doesn't make things better. What we could do is offer them articles. Writing costs them time and money and we have ppl who know a lot about openSUSE so that would be a good reason for them to ship more openSUSE stuff too. In other words, yes, it is terribly useful and productive to write articles for magazines. We sometimes write extensive articles about things like openSUSE medical on news.o.o - making that into a smaller news item or putting it into a larger context with screenshots and sending it to magazines saying 'feel free to use it' or offering them it exclusively (they like that) would be a great way to get openSUSE to more users. I have contacts at magazines and we have a press mailinglist so I can help here - if any of you are interested in that... And i can help review and write if you want, too. I enjoy writing after all ;-) Cheers, Jos > thanks > jdd
