On Friday 17th of September we represented the openSUSE community to a general speech organized by
GreekLUG about FOSS at a
elementary school at the center of Thessaloniki.
The speech was on Friday because on Saturday schools are closed.
The audience were teachers, parents and of course kids (ages from 9-12 years old). We had to do the same speech to 3 different classes. A representative from GreekLUG talked about what is FOSS and what are the benefits of using it.
Our community was represented by Greek Ambassador
Kostas Koudaras (warlordfff). The speech was short and the subjects we mentioned were:
1. Distribution that is the leader of technology.
2. Large community around the world that develop the operating system but also help people to use openSUSE.
3. Developing Greek community.
4. There are many versions that everyone can use depending the needs.
5. There is educational software for the kids.
