[opensuse-marketing] Get Ready for openSUSE Community Week!
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 07 May '09

07 May '09

The first openSUSE Community Week[1] is just around the corner. May 11 through May 17 we'll be hosting live sessions in IRC to help grow the openSUSE Community. Community week is all about helping new contributors get started with openSUSE and getting existing contributors together to mentor new contributors, and working together on major projects. We'll be hosting a week of IRC tutorials, Q&A's, and jam sessions on a number of topics. Learn to work with the testing/QA team, create packages, work with the openSUSE Build Service, help work on the wiki, or get involved with the GNOME and KDE teams. There's something for everybody[2]. Schedule and Topics =================== The Community Week schedule is posted on the openSUSE Wiki[3]. Each topic has its own schedule, and new sessions are still being added -- so be sure to check the schedule throughout the week for new and exciting sessions. If you have general project questions or aren't sure where to go during Community Week, talk to us in #opensuse-project on Freenode[4]. And, as always, questions about contributing to openSUSE are always welcome on the openSUSE Project mailing list[5]. Help with Community Week ======================== Even if you're not leading any sessions, you can still pitch in and help with Community Week. We need contributors to "staff" IRC channels to mentor new contributors, and to spread the word about openSUSE Community Week. If you'd like to lead a session, there's still time. Contact Zonker[6] with a topic, abstract, and times you can hold sessions. To mentor and answer questions, just show up! The more the merrier, so if you have some free time during the week, pop into IRC and lend a hand. Spread the Word! ================ You can also help make Community Week a success by spreading the word. Blog about it, talk about it on Facebook, tell your friends and coworkers, get the word out however you can. You can also post a counter on your Web site[7] or just link to the Community Week[1] page. If you're on Twitter or Identi.ca, you can follow @opensuse and help spread the word by RT'ing our Community Week updates, and forward this announcement to anyone who might be interested in contributing. Every little bit helps! Not feeling very creative? Just post the following on your blog: Join me for openSUSE Community Week The openSUSE Project is running a Community Week from May 11 through May 17. Learn how to get involved with the openSUSE Project and become a contributor to openSUSE. You can help promote the use of Linux everywhere and help make openSUSE the best Linux distro for new and experienced Linux users. You don't have to be a developer to participate. We're looking for all kinds of contributors: writers, translators, artists, teachers, and (of course) developers to help shape the openSUSE Linux distribution. Learn more about openSUSE and Community Week at: http://http://en.opensuse.org/Community_Week Spread the word and get ready to have a lot of fun at Community Week starting Monday, May 11th in IRC!

by Ricardo Varas Santana 05 May '09

05 May '09

Hi everyone, Although the FLISoL event happened almost two weeks ago, just today I got the packege. I've already talked with Zonker about this, and it's alright. So, the CDs and stickers will be used, so far, for the openSUSE Day here in Chile. Me and other guys are working on it and has not been scheduled yet. Once the event is defined in details, I'll post it at opensuse.org. If we need more goodies, I will try to ask for it three or four weeks before the event. Thank you Zonker and Marketing Team for all your support. -- Ricardo Varas Santana http://ricardovs.wordpress.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

05 May '09

The openSUSE Project is opening the call for participation in the openSUSE Summit 2009[1], to be held September 17 through 20 in Nuremberg, Germany. We're looking for contributors to openSUSE, upstream projects, and members of the openSUSE community to participate[2]. The summit will be an opportunity to bring the openSUSE contributor community together to share ideas, experience, hack, and help guide the direction of the project. So we're looking to members of the community to give presentations, tutorials, and lead birds of a feather and panel sessions in several tracks: * Community: Marketing, translations, wiki, documentation, forums, and openSUSE governance. * Desktop: Topics related to the openSUSE desktop, including KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and applications. * Server: Use of openSUSE on the server or development of server applications. * Toolchain and System: The kernel, YaST, packaging, and openSUSE Build Service. * Open Day: Saturday will include a track for openSUSE users and people new to Linux. If you're interested in presenting at the openSUSE Summit, fill out the Call for Participation Form[3] with all of the details for your participation. We're accepting talks, tutorials, birds of a feather, and panel discussion submissions. (Birds of feather sessions will be scheduled after hours.) The summit will not be entirely composed of prepared presentations, so we will be accepting a limited number of proposals. Deadline ======== All proposals must be submitted by May 20th. To submit a proposal, fill out the form[3] before 12:00 UTC on May 20.
