[opensuse-marketing] Request Support for FLISOL
by llastra＠severus.cl 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi! My name is Luis Lastra member of the LUGOS Chile user group, Concepción, Chile and I want to know if there's any chance to get some sponsor or support (DVD's and stuff) for a great show for the latin america community called FLISOL (http://www.flisol.cl/2009/) It's a great spot to show to new ,old, enterprise and goverment users the versatility and power of OpenSuse. By the way, the show is all around the country in almost every region (12) [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regiones_de_Chile] and I know that there's a few more users asking for the same thing from my Country. We're in touch and trying to make this to work (Ricardo Varas as example). ¿Is there any chance to get a "big one package" from you guys (if you find this usefull for the community) and make ourselves the distribution in our Country? Thanks in advance. Best regards. -- Atte. Luis Lastra C.

[opensuse-marketing] [OWN] Nice thread explaining the use of the word openSUSE
by Luiz Fernando Ranghetti 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi folks! On the opensuse-translation list there was a nice thread explaing the correct use of the word openSUSE: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-translation/2009-02/msg00050.html AJ says that openSUSE is written without the "o" capitalized, always. We should make use of this in the newsletter, even if the articles use writes different (OpenSUSE, etc) Regards, Luiz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Weekly News: New Section
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello Weekly News Team, yesterday i called with Jan-Simon. He says me that a new Section is wished from the different Projects. (Idea was from Bryen (suseRocks). So i created an new Template for them. The new Section is called "Projects Corner". The template can be found at: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/ProjectsCorner . The Projects Corner can be published one per month. So the Projects can be publish own Articles, that can't be found at Mailinglists and IRC. I've created the Template 3 Corners: KDE, GNOME and Education. Every Time if an Project has an Article ready, they can post it to the Marketing List. We are publishing this in the Projects Corner. -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

We use/used this rule of thumb: normal - own notes/texts/parts/sections (e.g. done by editors or defaults) italics - "cited" stuff (e.g. taken from blog posts) bold - Headlines, special stuff, ... I think its important to show the difference between "own" and "cited". We could switch "normal" and "italics" meaning - but thats needs some thoughts/discussion first. Personally found the currently used splitting "natural" - but thats my impression. Lets take the decision as topic for the next meeting. @openSUSE Weekly Newsletter Team: please reply with your thoughts @Klaus: Tnx for your feedback.

[opensuse-marketing] [Weekily News] Icon for Editors Note
by Satoru Matsumoto 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

@Weekly News team As we told at the last IRC meeting, I looked for icons for Editors Note. Please see the draft: [1] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.231 [2] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.232 [3] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.233 [1] and [2] are simle, but they look very much like the icon for "Wiki / Communication / Events" in "Status Updates"(*). * http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/58#Wiki_.2F_Communication_.2F_E… So I myself want to recommend [3]. Comments are welcome, and if you can find another better icons, please add to the drafts.

[opensuse-marketing] Weekly News icons
by Javier Llorente 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hello everyone, I have uploaded two images to the wiki, one for the openSUSE board and another one for Planet SUSE. The previous icons didn't look very good (it seems to me that they were scaled down), so I have updated the openSUSE Weekly News (issue #60) wiki page. Feel free to rename the images to whatever you want. This makes me wonder if the openSUSE Board should have its own logo/icon. Another thing: some icons are a bit bigger than others. I could try to standardize the size.

[opensuse-marketing] [Weekly News] Minor fixes for issue # 60
by Satoru Matsumoto 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 @Weekly News Team This is a report from "Chief Proofreader". ;-) I found some minor problems on issue #60. 1) The body of the article "IPTraf" in "New/Updated Applications @ OpenSUSE" - - "PTraf is a console-based network statistics utility for Linux.... + "IPTraf is a console-based network statistics utility for Linux.... 2) "Easgs: Multimedia pack portable or openSUSE 11.1 32 bit" in "openSUSE Forums" Although the original title in the forum is just as it is[1], http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/405272-multimedia-pack-p… but considering the meaning, this title should be ... - - Multimedia pack portable or openSUSE 11.1 32 bit + Multimedia pack portable for openSUSE 11.1 32 bit I think the original title itself has a typo and IMHO, it's better to fix it in our Newsletter.

[opensuse-marketing] Re: NewsLetter translation :- Language, Marathi
by Jan-Simon Möller 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

See the text of this mail and http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News . There you can find the FAQ. Basically you've to make some choices: 1) full or light version (see the full/light templates, example for light is e.g. chinese or hungarian) 2) template-only or translation-tool for translation The translation-tool is able to replace predefined strings (e.g. Announcements --> Annonces ) and can be configured with a simple text file. The URL of the marathi translation should be for now: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/$NR/Marathi $NR the number of the issue. For the main newsletter its: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/59 Now you can start e.g. with issue 59 to setup your workflow. Feel free to ask anything you need to know.

[opensuse-marketing] Website in spanish
by Ricardo Varas Santana 18 Feb '09

Hi all, Today I installed openSUSE in spanish, and default homepage in Firefox is http://www.opensuse.org/es/. All looks good, but it surprises me that Get it, Discover it ,and Create it sections' title all read in english, just like a couple sections below as well. Is it meant to be? Do they need to be translated? I'd appreciate feedback, and if I can be helpful just let me know.

[opensuse-marketing] Just a discussion
by Piotrek Juzwiak 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

I wanted to discuss with You my fellow translators about Your approach to "untranslatable" text. In my case i find english language to be at least "primitive", i should explain what i mean because i don't want to offend anyone. In my language almost every word has it's own meaning, what i mean by that is that in english one word can have several meanings for example free where in my language we have at least two words for that (even Richard Stallman admitted that, free as for no money and free as free to modify :) ). What i find VERY irritating is lots of glued together words that i understand and it is perfectly clear (if i think about it in English) but when i try to translate such word i need to use much more words than just one, example for this week's newsletter, statusmail, i still think about words to use it to avoid changing the meaning . Also i may not be a language freak but sometimes i'm crying about state of the text i need to translate (pure English), it may not be my mother language but seeing the direction it goes i start thinking that it gets more primitive with time, while many of You may consider using one word to describe many things beneficial i see that as dumbing down. So at last, we come to the end of my mail with some questions ( i leave conclusions to You), are You correcting the texts you translate? Are you adding some words, do you often have difficulties translating it to your native language?

[opensuse-marketing] No Al Cannon Digital
by Juan Gimenez 08 Feb '09

08 Feb '09

Perdon por lo extenso, pero esto nos importa a todos, es nuestro dinero, es nuestra libertad. Gieco y Filmus quieren tu dinero, lo merezcan o no De la mano del Senador Daniel Filmus, vuelve al parlamento argentino la discusión sobre el canon digital. <http://www.vialibre.org.ar/2009/02/06/gieco_y_filmus_quieren_tu_dinero/> *Por Federico Heinz para Fundación Vía Libre Si hay algo que no se puede negar de los maximalistas del derecho de autor, es que son perseverantes. Hace poco más de un año, cuando un grupo de una "unión de músicos independientes"[1] se acercó al diputado Claudio Morgado[2] (Frente para la Victoria) con una propuesta de ley que incluía la recaudación de un "Canon Digital"[3], la reacción en contra fue tan clara que inmediatamente (y sin siquiera avisarle a Morgado, que había puesto la cara por ellos) eliminaron ese elemento de la propuesta[4]. Pero oponerse a este tipo de iniciativas tiene mucho en común con luchar contra zombies: no importa cuantas veces uno las mate, siguen avanzando. Viendo que las tratativas con un legislador "del palo mediático" salieron mal, esta vez buscaron uno que tuviera una trayectoria conocida de apoyo a las políticas corporativas, y lo encontraron en el Senador Nacional Daniel Filmus[5] (también del Frente para la Victoria). A la hora de encontrar alguien que no dude en impulsar intereses comerciales en detrimento de la ciudadanía, ¿quién mejor que una persona que, cuando Ministro de Educación, firmó contratos confidenciales con Microsoft[6] para poner en sus manos la educación informática de nuestros niños?[7] Así, esta vez fueron los mismos "dueños de la cultura"[8] los que se reunieron con el senador Filmus: la Sociedad Argentina de Autores y Compositores (SADAIC), la Sociedad Argentina de Gestión de Actores Intérpretes (SAGAI), la Sociedad General de Autores de la Argentina (ARGENTORES), la Asociación Argentina de Intérpretes (AADI) y la Cámara Argentina de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (CAPIF). Seguramente apelando al cholulismo del que viene haciendo gala la cúpula del gobierno, fueron representados por un grupo de famosos que incluía a Atilio Sampone, Jorge Marrale, Pepe Soriano, León Gieco y Tito Cossa. La idea detrás del proyecto es simple: como la tecnología digital puede usarse para confeccionar copias de obras de las que estas organizaciones se sienten más dueñas que los propios autores(recordemos por ejemplo aquella vez que SADAIC se presentó a cobrar los derechos de autor por el uso de música compuesta por Pino Solanas en una película del mismo Pino Solanas, y que pretenden cobrar aunque los derechos de autor de la obra hayan expirado, o el autor mismo haya renunciado explícitamente a cobrar por ellos), ahora pretenden que el gobierno les autorice a cobrar un cierto porcentaje del precio del equipamiento e insumos informáticos (de computadoras, discos fijos, impresoras, reproductores de audio, cámaras digitales y teléfonos celulares a cartuchos de toner, CD-ROMs y memorias flash) para "compensar las pérdidas" producidas por el criminal comportamiento de personas que filman a su hijo tocando "Sólo le Pido a Dios" sin pagar por ello. Quizás el aspecto más desagradable de este episodio sea ver a "artistas comprometidos" como León Gieco pidiendo al gobierno que recurra a la coerción estatal para sacarle dinero a la gente con tal de que no se seque la canilla de dinero de temas que escribió hace veinte años. A esta hipocresía se agrega el cinismo de hacerlo "en nombre de los artistas": con esta medida, no sólo se encarece obtener copias de obras del mismo Gieco, sino también de bandas nuevas, que *deliberadamente* alientan la copia de sus temas, con el fin de obtener promoción. Gieco y sus amigos están acostumbrados a cobrar una tajada de toda fiesta que se celebre en el país, independientemente de si su música suena en ella o no. ¿Es sorprendente que ahora quieran cobrar una tajada del negocio de las computadoras y los celulares? Según el propio sitio web del senador Filmus, el proyecto sería presentado en marzo, habiendo sido redactado con la participación de las gestoras colectivas, pero sin *ninguna* participación de organizaciones de defensa de los derechos del consumidor y del ciudadano. Sólo le pido a Dios que el engaño no me sea indiferente, si un traidor puede más que unos cuantos, que esos cuantos no lo olviden fácilmente. * León Gieco, probablemente hablando de León Gieco [1] <http://www.umiargentina.com/> [2] <http://labarbarie.com.ar/author/claudio/> [3] <http://labarbarie.com.ar/2008/el-proyecto-de-gravamen-a-la-copia-privada/> [4] <http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/suplementos/espectaculos/2-9168-2008-02-1…> [5] <http://www.danielfilmus.com.ar/> [6] <http://www.proposicion.org.ar/doc/referencias/ar/mecyt/122-04/> [7] <http://portal.educ.ar/debates/sociedad/brecha-digital/en-confidencialidad-e…> [8] <http://www.danielfilmus.com.ar/notas.php?mon=936&id=1935> ---------- Copyright 2009 Fundación Vía Libre La reproducción y distribución literal de este artículo completo o alguna de sus partes están permitidas, sin regalías y en cualquier medio, siempre y cuando se preserve este aviso. ¡La redistribución es bienvenida! -- See u Soon, At the dark side of the Moon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

The plan is to release the main newsletter and a finised FOSDEM specian in english on tuesday. You can translate and announce a translated version if you've time and are willing to translate the special edition. As not everybody might have time during its up to you. Issue 58 should link to the english version as it will be done on tuesday for the release of the newsletter. Ok, greetings from belgium. Cya!

[opensuse-marketing] Issue 58 and FOSDEM
by Jan-Simon Möller 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

Hi @all kive from FOSDEM! As we already have many posts about fosdem and there's more to come - i'd propose to make an own "special fosdem newsletter" so you are free to decide to translate the more articles. Most of the "in the community stuff" is moved to an own FOSDEM 2009 page. Link follows in the next mail.

by Adi Nugroho 07 Feb '09

07 Feb '09

Dear all, On February 25th to March 1st 2009, Linux User Group Ujung Pandang will have a booth on Computer Mega Bazaar 2009 in Makassar, Indonesia. My question is: * Can we make a banner "Your Linux is *more than* Ready" as apears in http://www.novell.com/linux? It is nice banner, and a good marketing for opensuse * Can Novell/OpenSUSE support us by giving us some box of OpenSUSE 11.1? We will give it as doorprice on the event. Thank you for all support.

[opensuse-marketing] Yearly slogan or catch-phrase for openSUSE community
by Satoru Matsumoto 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hi listmates ! We have a very good motto "Have a lot of fun !" for the project & community and of course I like it very much. However, I came up with an idea: "Why don't we have another *yearly* slogan or catch-phrase for openSUSE community ?" I'm one of the supporters of Urawa Red Diamonds, which is a famous football(soccer) club in Japan. The club has a yearly slogan every year, for example: "Go foward, Hands in Hands !" <- last year "Devotion to Urawa" <- this year If we replace Urawa with openSUSE - "Devotion to openSUSE" - don't you think that can be a slogan for us, people who love and contribute to openSUSE ? So, I want offer my draft. - Every year-end, we make a contest for the next year's openSUSE community catch-phrase. - Phase 1: Subscription - first half of December Community members can nominate their candidate for the next year's catch-phrase. - Phase 2: Election - second half of December Community members can vote for their most favorite catch-phrase from among candidates. - Phase 3: Result presentation and award - End of the year Election winner will be announced and the auther will be given an award. - The yearly catch-phrase can be used by any community members for community activities, for example, posters, banners, T-shirts, stickers, etc. I think this contest would be very easy to participate for every community members and therefore be fairly useful to unify all community members. The procedure is similar in the one for YaST mascot contest we had last year, but we need an election system for this contest and I don't have a good idea for that. However, I hope some of you are interested in this idea and offer solutions for it.

[opensuse-marketing] Building up openSUSE page on OStatic
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi all, Not sure how many folks on this list read OStatic -- it's a blog in the GigaOM network that's been gaining in popularity. I post there occasionally, not quite as often as I'd like. They have a "Featured Software" item on the front page of the site, and openSUSE has not been featured there, traditionally. However, I talked to Sam and they're supposed to start putting it in the rotation. One thing we could do is to beef up the openSUSE page here: http://ostatic.com/opensuse So, I"m asking two things: 1) If anyone on the marketing list is looking for something to help with on getting the word out about openSUSE - this is an easy way to get started. In particular, adding reviews, screenshots, and additional resources to the page would be great. (We already have a lot of screenshots on the openSUSE wiki, so this is just a matter of moving from one to the other, really.) 2) Suggestions of other "do it yourself" places online that have reasonably high traffic and would be worth someone's time to work on?

[opensuse-marketing] Repositories management in Suse
by manchette 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi all ;) I think suse way of managing repositories is not clear enough, many many users seems to mix up things between factory , stable and unstable repos. Many questions are asked on this, which tends to show that it's not clear or maybe if it is from developpers viewpoint it is not from users' one. I 'd like things to be simplified in next versions. Has this been discussed or already on tracks maybe ? Thanks exple : see what happened with kde and kde upgrades/updates for kde 2 : http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/29/kde-42-in-opensuse/#comments Fabrice -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] issue 57 - problem with on the web
by Matthias Fehring 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello list, I am having a problem with the "On the web" section in the german translation ("Im Netz" in german). I ever get only {{{2}}} for the template output. I have tried anything to find the error, but I could not fix it. It would be nice, if someone else could have a look at that problem. Maybe I am only overslooking something. http://de.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE-Wochenschau/57#Im_Netz Best greetings Buschmann

Pour kde 4 : kmail avait perdu la partie réception des emails d'ou le bouton grisé, mais pourquoi cette perte ?? Je pense que la gestion des dépôts de suse n'est pas claire, du moins si pour les développeurs elle l'est elle est loin de l'être pour les utilisateurs . De nombreux mélanges entre factory et stable ou unstable , tout le monde se pose et repose les même questions , les sujets là dessus pleuvent ; ca prouve que les choses sont pas claires ou mal expliquées ... exple : http://www.alionet.org/index.php?showtopic=23375&st=0&#entry200602 http://news.opensuse.org/2009/01/29/kde-42-in-opensuse/#comments Personne n'y comprend rien et il faut bien dire que la logique utilisée à sa cohérence ...interne ....
