Just an update — a few months ago I created an openSUSE group on LinkedIn, even though there wasn’t all that much functionality to it at the time. A lot of folks have signed up (thanks!) but so far, it was basically just a placeholder (and it let LinkedIn users display a nifty openSUSE icon on their profiles…)

It looks like LinkedIn has added some discussion features and new hotness to the LinkedIn groups, so if you’re interested in trying it out, the group is here.

Out of curiosity – I’d be interested in hearing from community members if LinkedIn is at all useful (not just related to use of openSUSE) and what sort of “social networking” functions might be useful for openSUSE’s community that aren’t already fulfilled by the mailing lists, forums and other discussion mechanisms we already have. I think the openSUSE community is already pretty darn social, but I would like to know what kind of features we should have that we don’t.
