Hi people! It's really great to find so many replies and so many enthusiastic people who are ready to write articles for a magazine. I believe that most of the clarifications have already been made in an earlier email by differentreality. I think it would be nice if we all could just note down in a common place the topic about which we want to write. Just to avoid confusion and just so that we can keep track of what we already have. This would ensure that people dont repeat the work already done and would enable us to have a wider set of topics. Since i am not really aware of many collaborative apps like etherpad, I went along and created a pad at http://www.ietherpad.com/ErU9b3zoyR. Once people start listing down the articles and their names, we could decide and put up the list on the wiki like suseROCKs said. So, let's start listing! And those of you who were at the conference, "Where are the pics?". On Fri, 2011-09-16 at 18:43 +0200, Kim Leyendecker wrote:

Hi all!

One of the ideas that popped up during the marketing hackfest here today was that of making an openSUSE magazine with focus on the conference proceedings and the cool stuff that happened since the last conference. The magazine would contain articles on the main highlights of the past year (Year is the time period between two conferences), interviews with key people, reviews and articles about the current conference etc.

We would like to get a feedback on the idea and a few key topics that you think should be covered. Any authors who want to help with articles, please say so on the mailing list as we need more people to work on the articles. The topics, however, should focus on either key events that took place since last conference (like tumbleweed, evergreen, connect etc) or should be an article about oSC11 (or any particular session of it). We would also like a few miscellaneous topics that relates to openSUSE and linux at large.

I hope all of you would like the idea and would contribute to our efforts to make openSUSE even more famous and awesome. Please let us know your thoughts (& your willingness to help).

For additional info you can reply to the mailing list or send an email todifferentreality@gmail.com ( plz use as subject: openSUSE magazine )

Nice idea :D

What about a documentary about the 12.1 release with interviews of people of the teams (KDE; GNOME, release, artwork, coolo and the OBS team)?

It would be a great idea to have such a thing. I am ready to help with articles. We can even add articles specially highlighting the development stuff of the new upcoming releases. On Sat, Sep 17, 2011 at 8:15 PM, Mike McCallister wrote:

Hi folks,

I'd be interested in writing for the magazine. I'm open to pretty much any topic, but especially material for end-users.

Hi all,

I think it would be fine to tell about success stories, so that newbies can see that openSUSE is a serious operating system, not only for private use. This would include, that we also tell about former dristributions. The conclusion should be that openSUSE is in commercial use, so this can`t be bad to use it on my private desktop too.

Could this include stories from SuSE Linux Professional as well as openSUSE because how much difference is their between the two for end users other than updates and such. We really do need something to be able to give to users promoting us specifically over Ubuntu and Windows. On a daily basis I get an equal amount of "I am happy with Windows" as I do "I already use Linux 10. somat or "Ubuntu".

Hey :)

@Kim: Cool, hope to see something ready soon!

Regarding Stuart's remarks, I am not sure if we can currently support a periodical issue, however, we can start with this one issue regarding past year openSUSE experience and see how it goes, right?

We are already thinking about design/graphics and sponsors, but personally I think it is a little too early for that. I believe we should first start gathering some material and when we have at least half the articles we need, then we can also focus on the other aspects too.

So basically my idea is, let's get to work regarding articles and the sooner we have them the better so as to start preparing the other details too.

Our timeline here is little limited too, we want to do something in the next couple months, we wouldn't want for it to take longer.

As we have the openSUSE 12.1 release upcoming, we should indeed think about timeline. On one hand, this is a lot of work and we might overload ourselves here. On the other hand, releasing this say 1 month after the openSUSE 12.1 release, giving some attention to that release in the magazine of course could be really cool... In any case, be sure to copy-paste as much as possible from earlier articles. Say the one I wrote about upgrading to Linux 3.0 and Tumbleweed from a week or two ago... ;-)

http://en.opensuse.org/How_do_you_install_a_software Hello, I am writing a new wiki, believe that we need speak about install for new user, because if we look OS as Android or Iphone what attract new user is new and beautiful software. Well I don't have much time in this 2 week and don't finish this wiki but somebody can help me, I am going to be happy :-) 2011/9/19 Kim Leyendecker :

You mean SUSE Linux Enterprise, right? There isn´t any "SuSE Linux Professional" since 2005 ;-)
