Starting August 1.
Andreas Jaeger, openSUSE program manager, announced via email that Jos Poortvliet is the new community manager for the openSUSE project. Poortvliet will begin at openSUSE on August 1.
" With Jos we've found a leader with excellent community building experience combined with a very welcoming nature, many fresh, promising ideas and a strong drive to grow the openSUSE Project," Jaeger said in the email.
Poortvliet has a degree in Organizational Psychology from the University of Utrecht and has been project manager at KPN and service level manager at Royal Bank of Scotland. Currently he is a member of the KDE Marketing Team.
"The opportunity to become part of the international openSUSE community is very exciting. There are a great number of interesting developments going on in the free software world, and openSUSE plays a major role in many of them," Poortvliet said.
