Any folks on the marketing team that are attending that would be willing and able to take a half-day shift (or longer) of running a camera? We have two tracks per day that need to be recorded, plus keynotes at the beginning and end.

[opensuse-marketing] Software Freedom day in NZ
by Graham Lauder 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Another two events have been added to my SFD calendar, this time in Auckland. One is being hosted at Albany Senior High School on Friday the 18th and another at Auckland university (Venue TBC) on the 20th. It would be really great to have other OpenSUSE advocates present if only to balance out those from the Brown team that will be there in force! :) Cheers GL -- Graham Lauder, INGOTs Assessor Trainer (International Grades in Office Technologies) http://www.theingots.org OpenOffice.org MarCon (Marketing Contact) NZ http://marketing.openoffice.org/contacts.html Open Opportunities ltd.

by Sebastian Schoebinger 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hi I am trying now to set up a Launch Party for openSUSE 11.2 in Vienna. Is anyone interested (a "no" is not acceptable :) ) and would anyone like to come there and maybe help also a bit (That is not a question for the ambassadors, they must come :) ) Exactly location isn't decided yet, but it is in Vienna. Things which would be needed would be: - maybe some test laptops - beamer - food and drinks I don't know more yet and it is also the first time, that I (try :P ) to organize something, so if anyone has questions, tips or something else, please write back.

[opensuse-marketing] Marketing BoFs at openSUSE Conference
by Bryen M Yunashko 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Folks, We're getting very close to that time when openSUSE Conference begins. I hope a good number of you will be attending. I'm thinking we should have one or two BoFs focused on the marketing team. One should be focused on the technical stuff (wikis, newsletters, translation teams, etc.) and the other should be on marketing strategy discussions. Is there anyone here who is interested in organizing, leading, co-leading, (whatever) these sessions? Remember, this is a BoF, so they shouldn't be too formal. Just a gathering of everyone with common interests and issues. -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member GNOME-A11y Team Member www.bryen.com (Personal Blog) www.planet-a11y.net (Feed aggregator of the Accessibility Community) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Software Freedom Day... openSUSE the Best!!!
by Alexjan Carraturo 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Really, Relly thanks to openSUSE.... even if they are not official sponsor of SFD, they do much, much, much more. Michal Loffler.... thank you very much!!!! Our SFD will be great, and it's your merit and openSUSE. I think that, about the abbundancy of CD, I would like to redistribute the CD with the other italian openSUSE Ambassador that will came to SFD. So, for the Italian Ambassador.... the there is a quota of that CD for you. I think that this is the best way... what do you think about this?.

[opensuse-marketing] How not to market free software
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

This is less openSUSE specific and more for discussion about the best ways to talk about free and open source software. Let me preface this by saying, I certainly respect the FSF and the work they've done over the years. But they shouldn't be allowed near advertising at any cost. Case in point, the "defective by design" campaign. It's relentlessly negative. It offers few, if any, alternatives. It doesn't consider the perspective of the "average" users who don't view software as an ethical consideration. It's like a PETA campaign, but based around software. I may agree with some of PETA's goals, but their tone and general negativity push me away -- and so does this. The "Windows 7 Sins" that was recently launched is just plain awful. Sorry, I am sure people worked hard on this, and their hearts are in the right place. (Metaphorically speaking. I'm not a cardiologist, so I'm not qualified to judge medically...) http://windows7sins.org/ I bring this up because I think it's important to focus on the positives and benefits of FOSS and openSUSE, not to try to say "use openSUSE because the other guys suck."
