ALL INTERVIEWS

This is a description of how to do interviews for the "People of openSUSE" series.

As a first step you need to decide on a person to be interviewed. Contact the person and ask if they are willing to do the interview. Include some personal message in the question and also some reasoning why they have been chosen. When they agree follow up with sending the questions.

We do the interviews via email using the template shown below. It contains a first set of question. Follow up with more questions based on the answers you already got to drill down on interesting content. Feel free to modify the template where needed. 

Thanks for doing the interview for the "People of openSUSE" series with us.

It would be great, if you could point us to a photo of yourself to publish with this interview, or just attach one.

We will collect your answers to our questions, maybe follow up with some more questions, and put the interview together. Before we publish it, we'll send it to you for review.

We'll publish the interview on the "People of openSUSE" web site at http://opensuse.github.io/people under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. Are you ok with that?

Here go the questions (just answer them inline):

**Please introduce yourself!**


**How do people usually call you? What nickname do you use on IRC. Do you have a blog or any other web site you would like to share?**


**What are you doing for a living? Are you paid to work on openSUSE?**
