openSUSE:Board election 2012 platform chuckpayne
Platform
I am want to bring my experience working on the Southeast Linux Fest board to openSUSE. Over the pass year, I got to work with many other distro and I have picked up a lot tips and subjects that I think can help openSUSE.
One thing I like to bring openSUSE and if I don't make it to the board that someone will work on it. I like to see either a quaterly or monthly magazine for the openSUSE Community. I like to see openSUSE start a serial of e-books for new users and promote more videos for users.
I also love to work with SUSE and get the foundation up running next year. Plus, I know many members for around the globe and I love working with each and everyone.
