[opensuse-marketing] Stats about openSUSE
by Alex Barrios 18 Nov '09

Hi people. I'm preparing a presentation of opensuse for my installFest and i wanna give some statistics about how many developers are working in the project (direct and indirect) and how big (estimate) its the user community. I'm sure that I will get this question, so better to be prepared ;-) Thanks in advance. -- Alex Barrios -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Great job on 11.2 - but we're not done yet!
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hi all, OK - the openSUSE 11.2 launch went, if I may say, pretty darn well. We had a lot of the marketing team out there promoting openSUSE 11.2, and we had good coverage in the press and the social media sites we targeted. I'd like to thank everybody who stepped up to make that happen. On release day we had great presence and good coordination. The marketing team members who participated should feel pretty good about now. But you know we've still got plenty to do. We've announced the release and hit the highlights, but there's a ton of stuff "under the surface" with 11.2 and no reason why we can't continue to spread the word about openSUSE 11.2 for the next five or six months. What kind of things should we do and what should we talk about? And where? I've started a sample Editorial Calendar with some past entries filled out. We need to fill a couple of areas: News.opensuse.org: We need Marketing Team members to step up and claim topics & deliver short articles for news.opensuse.org. Note -- if you see something really interesting on Lizards, it might be something good to reach out and see if the person who is writing on lizards would like to brush up the post for news.o.o. Announcements: We need to plan our announcements (major, not simple things like weekly / bi-weekly meetings). The openSUSE.org front page - we should have a new announcement or something up on that page every week. External publications -- writing for openSUSE News is good, but the idea is to get the word out *beyond* our existing audience. We need authors who can step up and pitch articles to publications outside openSUSE. Some sites might even pay for openSUSE-related articles, meaning that your work on the marketing team might help you put away cash for the holidays or to travel to an openSUSE-related event. Thoughts? I should be in #opensuse-marketing most of the day tomorrow. Anyone interested in taking the "managing editor" hat and working to schedule topics and make sure they come in reasonably on time?

[opensuse-marketing] Tracking press for openSUSE 11.2
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hi all, I updated the wiki with the first wave of press for openSUSE 11.2. A couple of requests, comments, etc. * Please update the wiki as you see new articles / blog posts popping up. I'm especially asking for marketing members & ambassadors to post press from sources not in English. :-) (Also, when you do, see previous examples where the language is denoted in parentheses.] * Use your judgment in putting things up. I am trying to add *comprehensive blogs to the list, but not one-liners and so on. * Check sources other than Google News. A surprising number of news sites don't turn up there. Thanks!

[opensuse-marketing] After the show is before the next show
by S.Kemter 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello, A little report from the Launch Party in Chemnitz. First we had a little problem. 2 of our speakers was sick, thx the boosters team was an replacement for Will Stephenson found. Many thx to Michal Hrušecký for help us in Chemnitz and travelling from Prague. But he wasnt not the only who travelled a long distance. Many of the guests travelled a long distance. We had guests from Dresden, Grimma or Wittenberg (that are 170km) here. I talked to this guy and he said that was the nearest party for him, he said next would be Mexico City. With this declaraion I know he looked in earlier times on the wiki page. We had Stefan Majewski from KDE as guest and some other guys was developers to. For this we had not really talks prepared. I think about a solution for the next party to interest them again and get them maybe more involved in the openSUSE project. In summary we had 3 talks here, round 30 guests (think there have some guests not found us), we had a cake with geeko and a cake with yastie, many interesting conversations in the coffee breaks. For the social event we was ina house brewery 50 meters from the event location and we enjoyed the band (I can say one of the musicians uses openSUSE) there and conversations. I shoot some photos and uploaded them to flickr, fb and added them to the groups. http://www.flickr.com/photos/karl-tux-stadt/sets/72157622814233456/ Maybe there is one who can write a little report because my blog isnt aggregated and I write in german too. br gnokii -- more http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs http://www.xing.com/go/invita/11208336 http://twitter.com/karltuxstadt http://identi.ca/karltuxstadt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
