Archive:Advocates list
This table contains a list of openSUSE Advocates, sorted by Country/first name for each continent. If you want to help spread the word about the openSUSE Project, please visit the openSUSE Advocates page for further information on how to participate. Please sort in alphabetical order.
Advocates
Every openSUSE Advocate must have a user page with valid contact information in the English wiki. Invalid information will prevent people to contact you and force removal from this list.
If you don't know how to create an user page, please visit news post with explanation.
There's no need to add yourself to the list for a single event. We will try to support all openSUSE users that want to distribute media whether they are openSUSE Advocates, or not. For details check detailed explanation.
