[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE 3rd birthday and countdown

24 Sep 2008

      Hi all,

We ran a counter that ticked off the days to the 11.0 release, I'd
like to see about reinstating that for the 11.1 release. I'm hoping
that 1) this is relatively trivial to implement now that we've done
it, and 2) that the responsible parties are on this list and ready to
run with it. :-)

Also, we have a milestone coming up -- openSUSE's 3rd birthday.
Obviously, there are a lot of dates we could pull out of the air to
use for the project's birthday, but I'm using the first release based
on the project info on Distrowatch.

That date is Oct. 6th. (http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=02946 or
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2005-10/msg00002.html)
...
From AJ's email:
I'm glad to announce the final version (aka the Goldmaster) of SUSE
Linux 10.0. Developing 10.0 as part of the openSUSE project with an
open bugzilla was a new and great experience. Thanks a lot to
everybody that contributed in testing, reporting and fixing bugs,
discussions etc.

So, the release wasn't "openSUSE" by name, but was the first stable
release done as part of openSUSE.

I'm pulling together an announcement and so forth, but I wanted to see
if anyone had suggestions for other things to do to promote this --
anyone willing/able to put together some birthday graphics, for
example?

Thanks,

Zonker
