Any mention of Sugar in openSUSE release PR will be greatly appreciated. We believe the education segment has lots of promise for GNU/Linux. At Sugar Labs we recently celebrated two "magic million numbers": a million OLPC XO-1 laptops distributed, 99% of which run Sugar; and a million downloads of Activities for children from our portal (http://activities.sugarlabs.org). thanks Sean Sugar Labs Marketing Coordinator P.S. Several of us are in Bolzano at the Gnome hackfest this week. On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 9:08 AM, Jigish Gohil wrote:

Hi all,

Draft of the openSUSE 11.2 release announcement can be found here:

http://en.opensuse.org/Marketing/Team/11_2_Launch/Announcement

Edits / additions appreciated. Will be "locked" at a few hours before the announcement on November 12 at 3 p.m. UTC.

This will probably be a first time that openSUSE Education project will follow up with Li-f-e release: wholesome openSUSE 11.2 :)

Draft of that announcement here: http://lizards.opensuse.org/?p=2380&preview=true

Wholesome because it includes KDE+GNOME+Sugar, multimedia, tons of Educational, development and other useful applications, all in 2.8G iso.

May be a word on what users can look forward to can be added to 11.2 announcement mentioning this development.

Cheers

When you say "follow up," do you mean immediately or a few days later?

Could you post this to the wiki, please? We can't see it here unless we have a lizards login.

Nice. :-)

If it's going to be close to the release, please do add it to the 11.2 announcement. Just go ahead and add it to the announcement in the wiki, please. Thanks!

I am not very good with words, working on life announcement for over two weeks, still not done, still will try to add a couple of lines, you can then make edits :)

That's fine. :-) I will definitely edit the finished product before putting up on news.o.o. BTW -- if you're looking for help with announcements, I'm sure folks on the marketing list would be happy to help out. That's what we're here for. :-D Best, Zonker -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager Twitter: jzb | Identica: jzb About: http://www.dissociatedpress.net/about/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

- Any reason to be linking to http://en.opensuse.org/Screenshots/11.2_Milestones#GNOME_2.28 instead of http://en.opensuse.org/Screenshots/11.2 in the second paragraph? Skipping KDE screenshots? No-no! ;-)

Yes, I was tired & working on the GNOME Sneak Peek as well. :-) Don't read anything into it. :-) More screenshots appreciated, btw.

- You referred the possibility of installing openSUSE 11.2 from USB, but didn't say how to get it (media not included in the "Media and Download" section).

OK, please feel free to add that. That's why I put it in the wiki! :-D

- People tend to skip quick announcements/articles if they don't see a image, or a couple of images. Images catch people's attention. Please consider adding like 2 or 3 (KDE, GNOME, and installation) to the announcement.

Sorry, yes - of course. I didn't add the images here because it's not in the news.o.o backend. Any suggestions here for specific screenshots appreciated as well. :-) Best, Zonker -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager Twitter: jzb | Identica: jzb About: http://www.dissociatedpress.net/about/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Unfortunately I'm having issue with Goblin building on 11.2, we're too new for the Moblin 2.0 codebase and there are some issues getting the latest upstream tree imported at the minute. So Goblin will be slightly delayed, not sure when though :(

OK. That's OK, it gives us something to announce after the 11.2 release. :-) Can you give us a hint about how long after? More importantly, we're looking forward to putting Goblin on our netbooks!!!!

It is - but that's physical media, not the download. :-) Since we only give out the promo DVD at events, etc., it's probably not something to mention in the release announcement that goes to everybody...

Might there be a way for the ambasadors to download it to be able to make media to give out till the real pressed ones become available. I ask because I have a small party on the 13th and a larger meeting to present openSUSE to a group of 35-49 confirmed for the event on 20 Nov. I have 1.5 hours to fill with my presentation and possible installs. The will only consist of my presentation and any media I may be able to hand out and doing installs for those that want assistence installing it.
