[opensuse-marketing] Has OpenSUSE pronunciation been stardardized?
Am curious, if the spelling has been modified, did anyone address what the "official" pronunciation should be? There are at least 3 pronunciations I've read and heard... opensoozah - Supposedly the closest to its German roots opensoozee - Probably the most common I've heard in the USA opensooze Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Ahh that's a never-ending question. :-) When in Germany, I hear it pronounced as "sue-zeh" and that's pretty much what I go by these days. Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

I can envision a great marketing ploy. We video people around the world trying to say openSUSE. It would be great fun. -Alan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Yup! It was even an idea discussed way back in early 2010. Some sort of song-and-dance "How do you say openSUSE?" kind of thing. I had planned to shoot a bunch of folks at the openSUSE conference with that in mind but sadly my video camera got stolen before I got to Germany. There's a lot of cool ideas I have and others do too. We really should start story-boarding these ideas and making them happen.

Interesting.
So, someone saw reason to change SuSE to SUSE (I asseme the new
spelling suggests that the letters don't stand for anything else
anymore).
But, decided that pronunciation isn't as much of an issue.
I continue to look forward to the never-ending arguments how to really say it.

:) It is like in any language. What you see written, is pronounced according to rules of that language, unless someone takes time and enclose audio of "original" pronunciation. In SUSE case, original was using German rules to convert text to speech, until owner became Novell, now it could be different :) In general problem is that without audio reference available next to the written text, people will read using their language rules how to convert text to speech. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Seriously, I call it opensoose (german pronounciation.) But I think it doesn´t matter. A German calls Linux as "Linuchs" and some Americans as "Linax" or "Lainex". So, how cares really about it? kdl -- Kim Leyendecker (kimleyendecker@hotmail.de) openSUSE Ambassador powered by openSUSE 11.3 KDE Kernel-desktop 2.6.34-12& using Tumbleweed This mail was composed under Linux Have you tried SUSE Studio?
