[opensuse-marketing] Educating people about openSUSE
Hi All Recently I came across these concepts which are prevelant among the UBUNTU community which I liked very much. They conduct online sessions teaching people all over the world about various aspects which include a variety of topics like packaging, python and more I would like everyone to have a look at the following links https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom One of the sessions which they conducted http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/01/21/%23ubuntu-classroom.html Hope this might help us and we may also come up with something like this -- Regards MANU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Hi Manu,
this indeed is a very nice idea and you'll charge an open door if
you'd like to put efforts into it. That actually also is our biggest
problem here: Managing such an initiative needs a lot of motivated and
substantial contributions/contributors. If you'd like to get started
organizing it, we'd be more than happy! JFYI, the openSUSE Gnome
Community started a similar initiative some time ago called "Helping
Hands" [1], but unfortunately it rather failed from a long term
perspective due to, you guessed it, missing ... Helping Hands :-)
[1] http://old-en.opensuse.org/GNOME/HowTos/Helping_Hands_Topics
IIrc, Bryen was the driving force here. I'm sure, he'd appreciate if
you'd push this forward, covering the whole openSUSE Project this time
with deliberated coordination from ground up.
Really looking forward to it!
Best,
R

Hi
I would love to do so but I right now dont have the requisite
knowledge to do so and am a student myself. However I can surely help
with the topics that are decided and yes I am willing to learn and yes
then I can conduct those sessions. A little guidance from you all
would certainly help me and yes I am all for it as this is a passion
for me to share knowledge

Hello, I think that we can start this in a very simple way, witch IRC meetings like the Ubuntu example[1], and one simple wiki page to show what's going, or the next topic. The idea is to invite openSUSE developers/contributors to talk about your work in the project for interested users, and again, like the Ubuntu example[1]. This way do not demand too much work.

I have finished my small backup paper and presentation to submit to openSUSE Conference 2010 and sent it to Royal School of Languages in Aveiro US English corrections. I've produced a small paper ~17 pages with the theoretical background of the contents shown in the presentation which I will make available on a later stage with the presentation under a friendly licence (needs to be compatible with Fedora CLA and openSUSE Licensing). If there is interest, let me know and I can prepare a small session over the IRC. The title is: "Service Marketing and YOUR FOSS Project" and it aims to provide information on how Marketing see's software and how it recommends people to look into it and promote it. Nelson.

How that will work? You present papers for reading and then answer questions in IRC? What about using forums, or email for those that can't attend IRC session?

Having an enthusiastic moderator during the day to keep the workshop ticking over, introduce sessions, point at wiki resources etc is very helpful and need not take a lot of specialist knowledge. We've run a couple of workshop days for the openSUSE KDE community where I've taken both moderator and specialist roles and it's hard work that way.
