Hey Manu, when is the deadline for this? March 9? Can we change 'we are an international bunch' to 'we are an international community'? "bunch" sounds sort of awkward and dated. We might be able to pull together something from the images we've been using for the SCALE materials, or maybe something fresh. Do you have any ideas for the 'look'? cheers Helen On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 2:55 AM, Manu Gupta wrote:

Well, I have ideas lets use a icon set the one slide show showing Gnome, KDE and XFCEin a nice manner, then the other showing YaST and its capabilities, then OBS, then the community.. something like this what do you say?

Hi Manu! I agree we should replace the box with a slideshow. Some more things we need to work on until we can put this into production: - I18n: Probably we should use PHP Gettext for this. We need the language dependant content in .pot files, so we can make use of our translation community to have the landing page in many languages - Automatic redirect to the users language - The bento javascript files should get sourced from static.o.o so we don't have to update all sites when something changes in the menu. - The 'openSUSE Project' box: I'm not sure we need that, maybe we should just add more links in the text on the left side, as those links are also in the header and the footer Instead of this I would add an additional box with the latest community blogs from planetsuse. Could you push this to our infrastructure svn at: https://developer.berlios.de/projects/opensuse/ So we can work together on it?

+1 for a slideshow - that would be an attention grabber. But which format would you like to use for the slideshow? I have three ideas. - SCREENSHOTS. Show off some of the things that are unique to openSUSE and by extension Linux. One image with a caption on each slide. - TALKING POINTS. Rotate between a few one-liners that highlight key advantages over other operating systems or distributions. Use neutral, abstract backgrounds. Here's an example I put together in five minutes using existing material: http://i.imgur.com/ob0tz.png You can link these talking points to other pages for more information. - BOTH. Explain talking points briefly and balance out the text with an image or a screenshot. Ubuntu's website at http://www.ubuntu.com/ features a good example. This approach requires more space than is available in the website design draft however, otherwise the slideshow would look packed and wouldn't be inviting to take a look at. I like the design, but I noticed that the column alignment isn't entirely consistent. I highlighted the table grid in blue here: http://i.imgur.com/qGMu6.png Cheers, Pieter 2011/2/24 Thomas Schmidt

What is the context I should be keeping in mind? Is this still for the website or is it for a booth slideshow (like your wiki link says)?

Alright, A3 dimensions it is. I used Scribus to create the graphics. It does have an SVG export option, but it produces weird transparent borders. So instead I've exported to PNG at 90 dpi. Download the graphics here: http://www.box.net/shared/c04iezu29j They're a little too big for the wiki (max. 2MB), so I'll just post the download link. Ideally these slides would link to a page with a more detailed explanation of the slogan and the related topic. If you're going to use them, make sure you check legal.txt (inside the ZIP) to see which background images require attribution as specified by the author. Cheers, Pieter 2011/3/10 Manu Gupta :

Alright, A3 dimensions it is. I used Scribus to create the graphics. It does have an SVG export option, but it produces weird transparent borders. So instead I've exported to PNG at 90 dpi.

Download the graphics here: http://www.box.net/shared/c04iezu29j

I like it!

Whoops, I meant to upload them but I forgot... you can get the sources here: http://www.box.net/shared/ds2j53004d The downside to this approach is that it's not easy to translate the slogans to other languages. For every language, five PNGs will have to be generated by hand. I know there's a way to automate this task using PHP scripts or something, but I don't know how. Pieter 2011/3/10 jdd :

+1 for a slideshow - that would be an attention grabber. But which format would you like to use for the slideshow? I have three ideas.

- SCREENSHOTS. Show off some of the things that are unique to openSUSE and by extension Linux. One image with a caption on each slide. - TALKING POINTS. Rotate between a few one-liners that highlight key advantages over other operating systems or distributions. Use neutral, abstract backgrounds. Here's an example I put together in five minutes using existing material: http://i.imgur.com/ob0tz.png You can link these talking points to other pages for more information.

This approach requires more space than is available in the website design draft however, otherwise the slideshow would look packed and wouldn't be inviting to take a look at.

I like the design, but I noticed that the column alignment isn't entirely consistent. I highlighted the table grid in blue here: http://i.imgur.com/qGMu6.png

I know it is abrupt but I need some help Have a look at this http://suseware.com/trial/extended.php

I will like all of us to apply our minds to get a set of images that can work as a slide show instead of the 11.2 box..

Also, please check the links below.. see if something is missing

I know I have to add twitter, identica and facebook

Hi Manu! I agree we should replace the box with a slideshow. Some more things we need to work on until we can put this into production: - I18n: Probably we should use PHP Gettext for this. We need the language dependant content in .pot files, so we can make use of our translation community to have the landing page in many languages - Automatic redirect to the users language - The bento javascript files should get sourced from static.o.o so we don't have to update all sites when something changes in the menu. - The 'openSUSE Project' box: I'm not sure we need that, maybe we should just add more links in the text on the left side, as those links are also in the header and the footer Instead of this I would add an additional box with the latest community blogs from planetsuse.

Could you push this to our infrastructure svn at: https://developer.berlios.de/projects/opensuse/ So we can work together on it?

Hi All

I know it is abrupt but I need some help Have a look at this http://suseware.com/trial/extended.php

I will like all of us to apply our minds to get a set of images that can work as a slide show instead of the 11.2 box..

Also, please check the links below.. see if something is missing

I know I have to add twitter, identica and facebook

Thanks a lot

I suggest adding a picture with people such as http://news.opensuse.org/wp- content/uploads/2010/10/the-group-photo1.jpg

So, we have the repo for the new frontpage online at: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opensuse/trunk/infrastructure/www.o.o-be...

A test version of that code is running at: https://features.opensuse.org/www.o.o/ and Manu's host: http://suseware.com/trial/extended.php

I initially created a TODO file to track what we are missing: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opensuse/trunk/infrastructure/www.o.o-be...

I will work together with Manu to get the new frontpage ready, if you have suggestions for it, please send them to opensuse-web@opensuse.org

I added a slideshow based on http://www.serie3.info/s3slider/ to our svn. It iterates through a list of images and can fade in a description text on each of them.

I had a recent discussion about website landing pages on irc, we are discarding the whole idea and replacing it with wordpress-based news page and integrating news and landing page

That's cool idea, I like it! -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9 prusnak[at]opensuse.org Czech Republic -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

The svn repo seems to have some issues most probably it is a configuration issue which I am unable to figure out require_once /srv/db_info so what is it exactly Regards Manu On Tue, 2011-03-01 at 19:13 +0100, Pavol Rusnak wrote:

Btw. what is the timeline for the new landing page? I expect this is *after* the 11.4 launch this week, correct?
