Hi Bart I believe the recent interest in SUSE comes from me. ๐๐๐ปโโ๏ธ The distro is far from dead and appears to be doing well with its commercial Enterprise software.

Funnily enough I heard of Hack Space for the first time today while having coffee with another PLUG member and it certainly sounds like an ideal venue.
