Hello to all, thanks for the message that the mailing list wouldn't be active any more. Welcome to the openSUSE Community!
Most parts on the wiki pages for Advocates have been right. I updated the mailing list. You are right here for the communication and questions. Create a openSUSE account and look after other Advocates in your country ( https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Advocates_list ). Join them and create a booth at Open Source events. That's the first step. Write here, if you would need marketing material. You'll get it. Say, if any informations would be missing, please. Thank you! Best regards, Sarah > Gesendet: Dienstag, 28.
