openSUSE Day at LinuxWorld Expo
Join us for a day of fun and FOSS at the LinuxWorld Expo! The openSUSE Project is going to be presenting talks and discussions on Wednesday, August 6th at the LinuxWorld Expo, being held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
This is your chance to learn everything you wanted to know* about openSUSE and Linux, all in one day! You'll get an introduction to the openSUSE community, tours of the GNOME and KDE desktop, a tutorial on the openSUSE Build Service, learn about the Linux kernel, and have a chance for Q&A with the experts.

If you'd like to be involved, let us know on the openSUSE Marketing List, or get in touch with Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier.
