  19. Service Packs

    Upgrading is one of the biggest concerns for inexperienced
    people

    openSUSE has an amazingly smooth upgrade path

    To help with preconceptions about upgrades, what about
    Leap 15 SP1 rather than Leap 15.1?

  20. Conference Organisation

    The openSUSE Asia community is an exceptional example of how to manage
    organising conferences

    They have a committee responsible for
    – The calls for locations and papers
    – Assisting the local organisation team
    – Finding sponsors

    We would like to create one for the openSUSE Conference
