I demoed openSUSE and used the following script for that. I had to cheat at one point since SpiderOak needs an extra depencency (hope it makes it as online update soon), so I downloaded the complete package from the spideroak server. Start: Youtube Video DVD Installation - from http://wiki.opensuse.org/Screenshots That one was soo quick that I had to pause it, I gave some quick explanations... It was so incredible quick that people had fun and enjoyed it. GNOME Shell =========== * Say, to setup "zypper in gnome-shell" * Log in - show how to select the "GNOME 3 Preview" in gdm/kdm * Start shell * go to Activities * Explain Workspace - and how intuitive they are due to the overview - Search for applications, emacs - Drag firefox on "+" sign - opens new workspace - add/remove workspaces - move apps between workspaces * Explain and show panel - Name of application - Activities buttong - Tray area - calendar Alt-Tab for switching apps More details: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Tour Tracker (still shown as part of GNOME session) ======= * GUI Icon -> show and explain a few options * Create file, via echo "red green blue" > test * Search -> "blue" -> immediately found Now logout, login to KDE: Ksuseinstall - installs codecs, debug infos ============================ * Start Amarok * You get asked for codecs, add packman and install packages. KDE Plasma netbook =========== * Explain how to switch - Desktop Preferences, workspace, form factor * Show Page One/"Newsletter - 2 columns" -> shows streams likes news, weather, social desktop activity , you can scroll down * Launch/search - search firefox both via query and via "menu", start it * Switch applications Spideroak ========= I've setup the program before so that I could show how to use it in practice: * first step: backup data, so select directories, press "save" * once uploaded, you can sync of backup data - between my different computers (just explained) * Also: share of backup data - publish content on spideroak website Log out of KDE, log into LXDE LXDE ==== * Add application to desktop - right click on menu * Launch firefox * Launch LXDE Control Center * Launch OpenBox - show lots of options to configure windowmanager * Filemanager - shows Applications as well See also the video referenced from the screenshots pages for some more inspiration - or show the video completely zypper ====== removal of dependencies: * zypper in gwibber - did install 11 packages for me * zypper rm -u gwibber - removed the 11 packages again obs syntax - shortcut notation: zypper ar -f obs://openSUSE:Factory:Contrib/openSUSE_11_3 contrib Run command and explain how nice and short it is I had prepared two laptops and had to login/logout between each desktop. One desktop would have been enough but I didn't want to install everything on my main laptop, so prepared the second one to showcase LXDE. Note for showing the KDE Plasma netbook edition, any screen size will do, Btw. you need to practice this in one run, I played with each desktop a bit but then going through it, I encountered some problems that I had to fix on the fly, e.g. killing packagekit during the ksuseinstall. An option is also to do this with two persons - one person talks and explains on the wall, the other works the laptop. Andreas -- Good one! I will certainly borrow your idea. I and others will deliver demoes at our workplace. Easy, I work for the biggest bank in France and we have more than 3.000 IT people :-) Did it before (check cv for the corporate that I worked for) and it's fun... If people have prepared Impress slides on openSUSE 11.3 I will be happy to borrow as well :-) Gute nacht, Jimmy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
