Information about @opensuse.us email address's Greetings from the forum world ;) I posted this on the opensuse-project list as well. Forgive me for the double post, it appears very few people are subscribed to that mailing list. This list appears to be the list I should have posted too. I am not a frequent mailing list poster, I hang out in the forum world much more than I do here. I am however subscribed to almost all of the mailing lists and have replied a few times here and there when I could be of some small help.
Opensuse.us is a forum for opensuse users everywhere. We have setup email addresses for opensuse users, and it's available for anyone that wants to sign up. Space is limited ...... unless google smiles upon us and gives us more if we need them. ;) I realize that these are not the opensuse.org email address's that people would prefer, but it's not "too" far off. It's the best I could do, and I hope it's well received. It seemed many people wanted to have/use opensuse.org emails, and since they were not available to the public/or users .... we would try in some small way to fill the void. Currently have 2,000 @opensuse.us email accounts to dispense. First come first serve basis, will probably be able to obtain more once these have been handed out....... but I make no promises. Interested ? Want one ? Anyone that is part of the opensuse community (irc/forums-any of them/mailing lists) can get one if they want.... How ? ----- >>>> READ BELOW ============================================= For anyone wanting a @opensuse.us email address , please post your request in the opensuse.us forum.... here: http://opensuse.us/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1825&start=0 We will setup your email address and PM your access information to you once it's setup.
