I used Jason's search again. This time with "opensuse". It found it and I am joining now. Regards. Oh, PS - why does this comment form return a 500 server error when you forget to put the spam protection in? It's a bit naff. Wayhay!

Suggestions: * Make sure all words are spelled correctly. * Try different keywords. * Try more general keywords. ??? It seems that I am not destined to join this group no matter what!

Your search - suse - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

* Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
* Try different keywords.
* Try more general keywords.

I made the <a href="http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=012022021532202637257%3An0e8vkkccd" title="LinkedIn Groups Search" rel="nofollow">LinkedIn Groups Search</a> custom search engine using Google Coop/CSE. It seems to work very well and the response from the users has been great. I hope it works well for you too. <blockquote cite=”you can’t search the directory for groups, the only way to find groups that aren’t specifically listed in LinkedIn’s directory is to see them listed on someone’s profile”

Unfortunately, LinkedIn doesn't yet seem to have a way to link directly to a standard group page. As I said, they have some work to do... It's not country-specific, though. I know several people have joined from outside the U.S. Interesting — are you logged into LinkedIn at all?

It just does a standard people search with no criteria. Also you group is not listed in the groups directory so it is impossible to join it! Perhaps groups are country specific? I'm in the UK.

I've actually found LinkedIn more useful than Facebook over time, at least when I was working as a journalist, because of the Q&A features.

Eg Facebook has groups for long time and there exist several for SUSE Linux/openSUSE - the biggest one has 708 members. Anything special with LinkedIn that you advertize it?
