Thanks and great job!

Also, please let me know if for any reason I infringed any licenses
or anything, since as you can see I included the OpenSUSE logo. Hope
it is ok.

Logos are usually copy righted and cannot be used without specific
consent from the owner. To be on the safe side I would suggest you
remove them.

What are the rules for the opensuse community using the opensuse logo?

See http://news.opensuse.org/2009/03/02/opensuse-trademark-guidelines-
released/
I seriously hope the logo can remain on these pdfs. They are a
quality piece of support literature. And it is now being hosted on
the opensuse wiki which has the logo all over it.

Is there a way to submit them to the opensuse board etc. for approval
to use the logo?

Yes, see above.

I think in this specific case, ask on the opensuse-project mailing list if the
policy is not clear (haven't checked it myself),
