[opensuse-marketing] Blogilo not working for Blogger/Blogspot?
by Roger Luedecke 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

My plan was to start blogging all my experiences with 12.1 since I hadn't totally settled in until 11.4. I wanted to use blogilo for this, but it keeps giving me trouble. If somebody could help, it would be appreciated. Here is the problem, I have the exact same problem. http://blogilo.gnufolks.org/forum/topic/failing- miserably-configuring-blogspot-account -- Demographic polls show that you have lost credibility across the board.

[opensuse-marketing] closing old facebook pages
by Jos Poortvliet 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

Heya all, I did a google search for our facebook pages. Google said that these are the ones we currently have: https://www.facebook.com/pages/openSUSE/45393742283; product/service with 2600 likes http://www.facebook.com/pages/openSUSE/107715102589260; Interest with 5200 likes http://www.facebook.com/OpenSUSECentral; community page with 5280 likes http://www.facebook.com/groups/opensuseproject/; group page with 5900 members I do not know who owns the first one, but I think it should go. I see Bryen making frequent posts, maybe he can make that happen? We should then try and let people know that the other pages are the ones they should go to. In that regard, the second one, despite the 5200 likes, should imho go too. Again I do not know who 'owns' it but I see Stuart making frequent posts, could you do this, Stuart? Then we need to get you and byren added to the ones left: the community page and the facebook group. These two are the most active so I think it makes most sense to focus on them. And obviously I'd rather see the OpenSUSECentral stay as it has a much prettier URL. I will try to get OpenSUSECentral renamed to openSUSE. There is an individual with that name, let's see if we can get it. If not, let's at least try to rename OpenSUSECentral to openSUSECentral. Gertjan is one of the masters of the OpenSUSECentral page. Gertjan, could you give me and SatManUK (stuart tanner, http://www.facebook.com/georgianpropertiesuk) access too? Stuart offered to be our social media master for the openSUSE 12.1 release so he has things to post to the page and I just like to be in control :D Comments, suggestions? Please, if you know who can change anything on the first two pages, let me know! If we can't remove them we can at least put a notice and a link there to our 'big' pages... Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Social Media 12.1 Launch Plans
by Bryen M. Yunashko 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

Folks, With 12.1 just days away, please visit en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Social_media_launch_plan and help out wherever you can. We need volunteers to handle the various social networks and to add any relevant stuff to the launch plan. Carlos, you volunteered to create a new 3D Geeko for 12.1 that we can use on our social media pages. Can you let us know the status of this? Kostas, you said you'd contact the Ambassador team to find people who are handling social media in other languages and ask them to join us. Can you send an email this weekend? On Monday afternoon, I will send out an email to the Project and ask the community to join in the reptition efforts so we can get some good high visibility in the various networks. Beginning this Sunday, I will begin days-long efforts to fully monitor and push content out on the sites I have volunteered to work with. Let's touch bases on Monday/Tuesday to see how we are all doing. Again, volunteering is highly encouraged and fun! :-) Please let me know if you have any questions. So ask questions so you don't get left out of the fun! Thanks all, Bryen M Yunashko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
