Opensuse.us is a forum for opensuse users. We have setup email
addresses for opensuse users, and it's available for anyone that wants
to sign up. Space is limited ...... unless google smiles upon us and
gives us more if we need them.

I realize that these are not the opensuse.org email address's that
people would prefer, but it's not "too" far off. It's the best I
could do, and I hope it's well received. It seemed many people wanted
to have/use opensuse.org emails, and since they were not available to
the public/or users .... we would try in some small way to fill the
void.

Currently have 2,000 @opensuse.us email accounts to dispense. First
come first serve basis, will probably be able to obtain more once
these have been handed out....... but I make no promises.

Interested ? Want one ? Anyone that is part of the opensuse community
(irc/forums-any of them/mailing lists) can get one if they want....

How ? ----- >>>> READ BELOW

PM me or other admins and do not email us your request. If you want an

work on the requests together and expedite them and also assures us
that you are real people and not bots. If your not a member of
opensuse.us you will need to sign up and make at least the one post in
this thread to get an email address. (Also keeps the forum
usernames/emails names from getting out of sync. IE: one person

Now, FWIW, we have no plans to discontinue email, we have no plans to
change anything, however the above is just to protect us in case stuff
goes horribly wrong. The opensuse.us domain name has been paid for
thru

can see, we don't plan on this being short term. If you have any
questions, please feel free to post them in the forum.
