Hi We were trying to thing ways in order to promote SUSE Studio which we think is something great,we were thinking SS and OBS mostly because we want people that use another distribution to know those two great tools and become more familiar with the openSUSE project. So what is the story,as the Greek openSUSE team we are installing openSUSE distribution and some other distributions to some old computers that a branch of scouts have but we are talking with some other higher grade (national) scouts so that we install FOSS to other branches around Greece.We had the problem that the PC's are really old and we need a lighter distribution,so Stathis said "Ok I'll try to make one on SUSE Studio" and I thought why should we do it and don't let other people be creative,let other people know this great tool and give anyone who wants the pleasure of making an operating system by himself? So we thought why don't we ask for permission for the scout logos and stuff and make a contest about who will create a Custom Scout Distribution? We are thinking in giving everyone a starter pack with logos and stuff that Scout want included in the distribution to download from a page,give a dead end(with plenty of time,not because people might need time to create a distribution but give us the time to promote it BIG),after that give some people to test all the distributions and finally the Greek openSUSE team and the Scouts(or maybe only the scouts) to choose the winner.I would like to ask if openSUSE can send us something to put as a prize,something symbolic, I really don't know. Finally we have an 'official' Greek Scout openSUSE distribution and after that if all this go well we could try on organizing a global contest about it,only think what might follow after that..Other organizations and a great marketing opening opening doors for openSUSE project around the world. You might think we are crazy or dreamers or what ever, we don't bother because we are...
