The marketing team mostly tries to get the word out on openSUSE – going to conferences and organizing booths, writing for magazines & news.o.o, writing announcements etc.

However, yes, we are working on an openSUSE shop. Currently however we can’t earn any money as there is no entity where that money could go to – we need the foundation for that. Moreover, I doubt we’ll ever make enough to cover much more than sending ambassadors to events & organizing meetings and our own openSUSE conference so buying Novell any time soon is unlikely :D

Two videos? Are we gonna be selling something here? I mean, that is what marketing does, right? Will I be able to buy a dress shirt with the openSUSE logo? Will there be openSUSE laptops out there that we can purchase? Come on guys, let’s sell stuff and buy back Novell. Better yet, buy openSUSE back.

Master Rod
