Hi All,
I think its the perfect oppurtunity for everyone to start working on openSUSE Magazine. We all have been interested but the idea got lost somewhere since none of us had enough time.
One of the results of GCI was design for the magazine. While printing of the magazine maybe very expensive. I think we can create this magazine for inviting new sponsors to the project and also for the upcoming openSUSE Conference. So printing a few 100 copies and sending it across should not matter but thats upto Jos to decide.
Please have a look at the design, I will soon set up it in the artwork repo for openSUSE and if somebody can do that for me, it will be great as I have bandwidth and speed limitations as of now. Patches are always welcome :) http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2011/7174228
Thanks a lot.
I am sorry, but I have to interject on this. Manu, I have seen you do this times before and it is really bad taste. This is not your initiative, but N.B. Prashanth's and Stella's idea, which was initiated at the Marketing Hackfest in Nuremberg after the oSC. I know because I was in the original list of correspondence for this initiative and also have been tracking it since I believe Prashanth's idea was a very good and unique.
If there is anything that needs to be changed in this project more than anything it is the killing of initiatives by certain members of this community, only to use it later to their own benefit. So, Manu you have absolutely no right to take credit for this as it is not your idea.
I would request that this matter be looked into by the election committee and all others to verify that the candidates are campaigning on their own merits rather than trying to steal ideas to make themselves look better.
Sincerely,
Gregory I am sorry, but I have to interject on this. I doubt he was stealing an idea considering openSUSE trademarks are property of SUSE and the community. Resuscitating an idea doesn't seem to be hijacking when there is no profit and only the community would benefit or take a liability. Chances are I'm missing something here, but getting pissy over whos idea something is seems rather silly in an open source project. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

Manu, Stella and N.B. Prashanth's and put a lot work into the Magazine, they had a etherpad up, called for writers. It would have been best to search the e-mail archives reached out to them to see we could get what they had started and move with that. I know I talked about a year ago doing something like Ubuntu's Full Circle when I ran in 2010. I was happy to see some people take up the call and try. The thing to keep in mind that you don't need to start big, get a group of people start. I have stated this many times. I have done magazine layout. So putting something together and create a pdf would be easy. Maybe guys at the next marketing meeting we get a group together that want to do this and try. Let move beyond the who idea, because I mind and I have stated many times. We are good that talking and writing e-mails, but bad at taking action, at least N.B. Prashanth and Stella started working on it. Pup -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!
