As each of our lists of followers grow on Twitter, Identi.ca, etc and more international, we should start thinking of ways to simplify re-tweeting for our followers to quickly pick up on. I just picked up and retweeted a spanish version of today's 11.2 RC1 announcement knowing that I have some Spanish-language followers who could easily retweet that and spread it around to their followers. For major announcements and such, we should probably form a team of translators (tweet-slators?) so we can send out tweets in multiple languages.

/me responds with a guilty lump in his throat. "Ahem... Good point." So I guess this highlights that we need a translation team to quickly translate announcements? Otherwise, they have to wait until weekly news translation, right? These are important things we should be thinking about, so close to the Final Release date and we want to maximize attention as much as possible. -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member GNOME-A11y Team Member www.bryen.com (Personal Blog) www.planet-a11y.net (Feed aggregator of the Accessibility Community) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

New technologies are not the most important thing for maximizing the attention! I said it the last time here, it is for magazines not interesting when there are 2 Launch Partys for openSUSE worldwide - that is contra productive. I said it two times in the newsletter channel - no report for Launch Partys. Maybe thats helpful to get more parties. an other example who are ur pictures from OSC09? ;) twitter using for marketing its simple, give the people things to talk about and she talking about it. Google called that an wave ;) So u need not translated tweets but u need good blog entrys about openSUSE 11.2, articles they are worth that other people talk about it ;) br gnokii

May be we can RT with a link to the page in http://translate.google.com However, for some strange reason Google translate fails to translate the openSUSE homepage. -- Sankar http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
