It's a good idea. We can do general material and translate it to different languages. This from the LinuxTag is a good start point. I can translate it from German, but I think is better than a german user do it (I am from Spain). 2008/6/4 Masim Vavai Sugianto :

Hi All,

I'm really surprised with this idea. It should be a nice idea to build opensuse-marketing team all around of the world. Thanks Zonker !

So, according to 11.0 release in next 2 weeks, maybe we can share any idea for promotional stuff, eg : hold a release party & install fest, preparing sticker and leaflet, presentation material (I look at a nice material on Linux Tag 2008 on wiki but some of them are in German) and create an installation tips for 11.0.

-- Best Regards,

There are only 2 presentations on the LinuxTag Wiki on openSUSE. Knows anyone where to achieve the rest? We can begin translating the improvements and advantages of the new openSUSE version.

The how-tos I think should be interesting:

*An installation overiew (something like http://en.opensuse.org/Installation/11.0_DVD_Install) *Tutorial showing some zypper functions; *Tutorial showing how to install Nvidia and ATI driver; *tutorial showing how to install a driver using ndiswrapper;

These howtos are very usefull. The 70% of questions from a new user can be answered with these documents! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

From the cholly north comes another openSUSE enthusiast who wants to help spreading the love that is openSUSE. My name is Jeff and I live in Sweden. Here, Linux is gaining

Hi! popularity, much due to the sucess of Ubuntu, but SUSE has a growing number of fans too. openSUSE-related activities and happenings are pretty non-existant, but I intend to change that. I hope I will be able to contribute something to the discussions and ideas of this list. 2008/6/5, Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier :

Good ideas. We're already tracking launch parties here:

http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_11.0_Launch_Party_Locations

We should aim for launch parties from June 19 through July (no need to hold it exactly on the launch date.) I'm hosting an release party on the night of the 19th in Helsingborg, in Helsingborg (my place of residence). Something pretty informal, perhaps just grabbing a beer at a pub and showing of openSUSE or something like that. I am also thinking about organizing some more formal installparty later on in July, so inform all your Swedish friends. :-)

I like the installation tips idea - or a general tips page. I've set up a stub here: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_11.0_Tips

The wiki for sure doesn't need more stub or "please expand" pages ;-)...

If you have things to add, it'd be great.

Go through all openSUSE Weekly News issues and link what was &Tricks"?

I'm working on a reviewer's guide (mostly for press) that I will put up on the wiki shortly and would also like to have reviewed by the team.

Impatiently awaiting it! :-) Bye, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Apropos, where can one download the German/English flyers "How to Participate" and about the Build Service which were created/printed for LinuxTag? :-)

Well, we can post the PDFs, but we don't have source that is useful, because the flyers were created using InDesign. (I think that was it.) One of the things I hope the marketing team will do is to help create useful flyers, etc., using Scribus, Inkscape, OO.org, and other free apps so that all openSUSE users can benefit.

Absolutely a good idea. ON that note, we do have some openSUSE posters (I know the SVG link isn't working, I'm going to remove it). http://en.opensuse.org/Artwork/Miscellaneous#Posters -- Kevin "Yo" Dupuy Public Mail Yo.media: 225-590-5961 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org

Afaik Francis will have not time to write all of them. Who can write? :-)

I will write this weekend a review about the Yast Gtk version. The plan were to do it in Spanish, but I can do it in English too (with your language corrections, of course).

That would be great -- would you note that on the wiki, just to make sure there's no overlap.

Thanks,

Zonker

To the question of "Getting Started" with this team, Zonker, what "slots", if you will, are you looking to fill in terms of contributions by us? What are some immediate tasks that need to be fulfilled that we can do right here from the comfort of our openSUSE-powered computers?

Hi Bryen,

To the question of "Getting Started" with this team, Zonker, what "slots", if you will, are you looking to fill in terms of contributions by us? What are some immediate tasks that need to be fulfilled that we can do right here from the comfort of our openSUSE-powered computers?

Well, with an opening like that, how could I resist? A couple of tasks that need immediate attention have already been mentioned: * Sneak Peeks: http://en.opensuse.org/Sneak_Peeks <- still need volunteers to write some of these. * Screencasts: http://en.opensuse.org/Screencasts (A howto guide on creating screencasts might not be a bad idea...) Longer term -- I am hoping that the marketing team can take the lead in working on community announcements, helping to coordinate openSUSE booths at local events like LugRadio Live UK where we might not have an "official" presence, and also conceive and coordinate community marketing campaigns. For example, the GNOME folks are having a openSUSE-GNOME Bug day -- they've already sent out an announcement to the list, but the marketing team might be able to find ways to promote that outside the list. And, of course, I am confident that the marketing team members will come up with new ideas and ways to promote openSUSE than I would think of on my own. :-) That's open source in action, right?
