[opensuse-marketing] Dutch Social Network Hyves openSUSE Account
by Thoar Varenkamp 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hello everyone! With the upcoming openSUSE 11.2 around the corner I have decided to make an account on the Dutch social network site Hyves. Since there was no openSUSE account on this social network, I do feel (and think) that openSUSE should be represented on this social network. Specially since Dutch citizens are more familiar with this one, rather than the other social networks. Therefore, I would like to ask the following things. Is it able to use the openSUSE logo as avatar? Or is it able to get approval to use the logo on the account? What about other pictures and/or photos with openSUSE on it? Because if I am not mistaken, Novell has the copyrights of the openSUSE logo. Another aspect is, what kind of content should be placed? What kind of content is allowed to be placed? (copyright?) Should news of openSUSE be stressed, or practical information, or anything else? My personal view would be to give general and practical information (to those new to openSUSE of searching for openSUSE / why one should choose openSUSE) and news (to those who are already aware of openSUSE). With emphasis on the upcoming openSUSE 11.2. Any input would be great. And if there are other Dutch openSUSE users willing to help, you are more than welcome :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Extension:Social Bookmarking
by Shayon 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello everyone, While i was surfing through some websites and blogs,I found an interesting item named:Social Bookmarking.Then i thought of making it add in our Wiki(openSUSE).But i saw that its not showing the appearance as it needs to show.So after a bit of research i found an Extension:Social Bookmarking,Which i suppose is missing.Its just my opinion to have this on our wiki. As it would help us in few ways listed below: 1)To spread the word- 2)Editors/Readers who feel that the Articles needs to be read by all can use them fully- 3)It may also attract non-openSUSE users - and you never know ,They may switch to openSUSE by just reading few articles posted by the Editors/Readers to there social networking account :). Also this would be a major step towards marketing of the product :) Some of the websites which use it are : - http://quarterwiki.com/Main-Page - http://fivedollarwiki.com/Main_Page - http://onebuckwiki.com/ I just made my opinion over here :) Best, Shayon -- openSUSE Wiki Team Member http://en.opensuse.org/User:Wwarlock Website: http://www.shay0n.hpage.com Email: hkwarlock(a)gmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] CeBIT Open Source 2010 - Call for Projects
by Satoru Matsumoto 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hi listmates, While I were collecting articles for the next Weekly News, I found an interesting one: CeBIT Open Source 2010 - Call for Projects http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Events/Cebit-2010-CFP CeBIT will take place from March 2 through 6 in Hannover, Germany, and the organizers are now looking for projects who want to present their work at CeBIT Open Source 2010. I don't know exactly whether openSUSE project already has a plan to attend the show somehow or not, though, if not yet, this is where YOU come in, Ambassadors in Germany ! ;-) Note: Since it is mentioned in the article, 'Only *noncommercial* projects with a strong connection to Linux or Open Source will be considered for a booth sponsored by CeBIT Open Source and Linux New Media', this should be done by openSUSE community members instead of by Novell persons(of course, Novell employee can be involved if they participate as one of the openSUSE community members). ;-) Best, -- _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto - openSUSE Member - Japan _/_/ _/_/ Marketing/Weekly News/openFATE Screening Team _/_/ _/_/ mail: helios_reds_at_gmx.net / irc: HeliosReds _/_/ _/_/ http://blog.geeko.jp/author/heliosreds _/_/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
