Cool! write them a mail saying you'd love to help them write more
articles and translate some stuff from the international site like
news.o.o or ask for help?!?
This is not that easy as it sounds :)
This portal is independent and they do not let to write anything for
them. What I did is to add them a laptop for test with openSUSE 11.4
on release day.
They found it interesting and wrote an article about it and it was on
the front page and reach lots of readers. Later they sent me some
questions from the readers and I asked them.
It topics were interesting:
- which program can edit videos and create DVDs with cool menus?
- how can i use my docx files on Linux?
Yes, but why using this crappy format? ODT is much better.
- how can i switch from photoshop?
Easy with GIMP. Easy means, that it will be easy if you understand how
GIMP works.
- what about security? (firewall and virus protection)
Linux is secure. How good operating systems should be. If you work
together with many Windows-systems, it´s better to use a virus
protection for Windows malware only.
Summarize this. The users are not focusing on the operating system,
but they looking for application. The trap is as long as we bundled
applications in the distributions they not only compare openSUSE to
Windows7 but to Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Xilisoft DVD
Creator, McAffee Security Systems and so on.
Well, they should compare LibreOffice, GIMP, a DVD creator and maybe
ClamAV to the propriatary counterparts, not openSUSE, if you ask me.
Another interesting feedback was, that 1 click install is not that
easy. They looking for an Android Market or App Store like solution
(even if they have to pay for softwares - because they have to pay for
Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop as well).
I´m still waiting that the Ubuntu Software Center is avaible for
openSUSE. YaST and Zypper are very good to install things, believe me,
but for a not so savvy person, the USC is much easier.
what do you think about it?
That Linux is still good for us ;)
