[opensuse-marketing] Editorial Calendar: Second call
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hey all, A bit ago I put out a call for participation on the editorial calendar [1]. Still looking for people to 1) propose ideas for the calendar and 2) step up and take on articles. We have room to publish these on news.opensuse.org as appropriate or we can often offer things to Linux.com and other publishers who might be looking for how-to type material. Who's ready? :-) Best, Zonker [1] http://zonker.opensuse.org/2009/11/17/creating-an-opensuse-editorial-calend… -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier <jzb(a)zonker.net> openSUSE Community Manager Get openSUSE 11.2! http://bit.ly/EOV8a Twitter: jzb | Identica: jzb About: http://www.dissociatedpress.net/about/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Italian wiki points to english?
by giuseppe gran 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi All, today, during the configuration of a clean install of openSUSE 11.2, i have noticed that many pages of the Italian Wiki points to the English version. To confirm this, i have visited the pages that i had traslated some time ago (like http://it.opensuse.org/Netbeans or http://it.opensuse.org/Java ) and there are the original english version. Why? What's going on with the Wiki? Thanks in advance, Bye giuseppe -- Linux user number 433087 Linux registered machine number 351448 http://counter.li.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] LXDE developers/Contributors Mutil-Distro meeting
by Andrea Florio 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys... As you probably know i'm actually maintaining LXDE for our distro, with repo, Live CD and so on. Mario Behling as you can see from quoted mail invited me to join an LXDE meeting as openSUSE rappresentative. I joined last FOSDEM with Lars Vodgt for a talk about openSUSE-Education (i'm one of the coo-admin) with my own money (Joe Zonker should rember me) and i hope to join next one to talk exactly about LXDE. I was wondering then if openSUSE should provide me the Ticket to allow me to go to that meeting. I'm actually an italian openSUSE ambassador also. Thanks for reading this e-mail... waiting for a (positive i hope) answer :) Regards Andrea Florio Il 06/12/2009 05:00, Mario Behling ha scritto: > Hi Andrea, > > guess for some it is Christmas and others are just busy.

[opensuse-marketing] Vegas anyone?
by Bryen M Yunashko 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

If anyone here is in the Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) area and wants to give one or two presentations about the openSUSE Community at GWAVACon at the end of January, get in touch with me. This past January, Chris Hobbs and I both presented at GWAVACon on behalf of openSUSE and we had huge numbers attending the sessions. One was a SUSEStudio demonstration and the other was on the benefits of getting involved in the Community (aimed at Novell partners and customers.) GWAVACon appreciated us and invited us to attend once again. But, unfortunately, we don't have a travel budget, so I can't go. Understand, if you go, it's on your own dime. But if you're also interested in GroupWise and other Novell topics, it's a good opportunity to go, present sessions and get free admission to the conference to see other relevant sessions. If you volunteer to go, I will be more than happy to work with you on tailoring good session topics aimed at this audience market. Let me know ASAP.
