[opensuse-marketing] Translation of openSUSE posters
by Jos Poortvliet 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

Heya all, I've just finished updating the posters we made last year at SCALE in the USA. They are ready for translation and I can then print a bunch in time for the openSUSE 12.1 release parties! Who's up for translating them? download the svg files at the link below, translate them (open in Inkscape, edit the text) and mail them back to me... I will try to get at least Spanish (in the USA and Brazil and Spain), Portugese (Brazil), Chinese (Taiwan/China) and a few European languages (German, French, more?) printed. Of course IF they are translated :D Find the posters here: https://github.com/openSUSE/artwork/tree/master/posters/openSUSE%20is%20coo… The files: FlyerFINALVERSION-OBS-STUDIO-KIWI_11x17-light.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-AppInstaller-Desktop-connect_11x17-light.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-Tumbleweed_11x17-light.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-OBS-STUDIO-KIWI_11x17.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-AppInstaller-Desktop-connect_11x17.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-Tumbleweed_11x17.svg I made the light ones new but can't really decide if they look better or not. I DO know the light ones will be easier to print, the normal ones can be problematic in that regard due to the heavy use of black which makes the paper wet and soft... We will have to see with the printers which ones they can print. We do kind'a need to get this translated before Wednesday so we can start printing... Thanks in advance! Cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] translations for the posters
by Jos Poortvliet 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Heya all, I forgot to git add the translations of the posters, I am uploading them now. Will take a few hours on my slow connection, sorry! I would still appreciate it if someone with a fast computer and a fast connection could create PDF and PNG files for the many svg based posters. That makes it much easier for people to download and print! I am currently trying to find out what to print and how many. You can surely count on the Chinese and Portugese one to be printed, not sure about the rest yet :D Cheers, Jos

I've downloaded the RC2 for a test (looks good), but I would not be able to find the Snapper without watching this video or reading elsewhere. A newly installed system should be self-explanatory."

[opensuse-marketing] Last chance to have changes mentioned!
by Jos Poortvliet 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hey all, Today is your last chance to get changes in openSUSE mentioned in the Product Highlights and the release announcement. Tonight I will begin to move them to the wiki and write the first draft of the release announcement. Tomorrow the announcement as well as the Highlights will be send to the press so they can prepare for their articles. Any major changes not mentioned in our documentation by that time will thus not be featured in their work. So, if one or more of the updates you've done is really significant - make sure it is mentioned in the Product Highlights. If it represents a major deal, mention that and explain what's cool, it might make it into the announcement itself :D The page below is like a wiki, except that you don't need to know wiki syntax or anything else, just go in and edit. It has a history slider and we will review the text so don't be afraid of making mistakes. http://ietherpad.com/12-1-release-notes Usually, a name + version number and a link to where I can find an overview of what's new & cool is enough (we'll write the text) but of course you can help us a lot by writing a short summary yourself. Thanks! The marketeers

[opensuse-marketing] Mint developers claim 40% increase in user base due to Gnome 2
by Ilya Chernykh 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Linux Mint developers claim 40% increase in user base in just one month due to Gnome 2 they provide in Linux Mint. === In Linux Mint 11 we made the decision to keep Gnome 2.32. The traditional Gnome desktop, although it’s not actively developed by the Gnome development team anymore, is still by far the most popular desktop within the Linux community. As other distributions adopted new desktops such as Unity and Gnome 3, many users felt alienated and consequently migrated to Linux Mint. We recorded a 40% increase in a single month and we’re now quickly catching up with Ubuntu for the number #1 spot within the Linux desktop market. === http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1851 In Linux Mint 12 they include the Gnome2' s fork, Mate desktop as well as a set of plugins for Gnome Shell that reverses some changes made in the user interface by Gnome3 team, known as LMDE (Linux Mint Desktop Extensions). The taskbar, main menu, multi-window interface will be back again. The recent statistics from DistroWatch shows that recent days Mint got more than twice hits than Ubuntu http://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=1 suggesting popular interest. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Kablink for openSUSE?
by Roger Luedecke 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I think using Kablink for openSUSE would be a great idea. Kablink is the opensource version of Novell Vibe OnPrem. I made an openFATE feature, and ask that before you vote on it, you be sure to follow the links to really understand the enormous potential this technology has of enabling us to do better work. https://features.opensuse.org/312952 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Next try for G+?
by Kim Leyendecker 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Howdy, Here´s a recent Google blog post, which refers to the world wide launch of Google Pages. As seen that bands (like The All-American Rejects, well done, guys ;-) ) and also companies (like Macy´s) are having such a pages account, we also should go for one. We discussed about using Google+ for openSUSE in the past and especially during release time, this could be helpfull. So, here´s the blogpost: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/google-pages-connect-with-all-things… Anyone understood this and want to create such an account? I haven´t understood really so far, but I just scanned the text to see if openSUSE is allowed to use it at all. So, any volunteers for it? If so, I would help you, of course ;-) --kdl -- -o) Kim Leyendecker, openSUSE Community Member /\\ Email: leyendecker(a){lignus.de.vu, opensuse.org} _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
