As I'm sure most (hopefully all...) of you know, we'll be releasing openSUSE 11.2. If you'd like to help spread the word, there are a few quick and easy things you can do to help let people know about openSUSE:
* Tweet or Dent about openSUSE: If you have a Twitter or Identi.ca account, be sure to follow the @opensuse account and re-tweet/dent announcements about openSUSE 11.2. One or two mentions per day by each openSUSE user could make a huge difference! (Please don't go overboard though -- one or two per day is good!) Make sure to use the openSUSE hash tag (#openSUSE) on Twitter so we can take a shot at getting on the "trending topics" list.
* Mention the openSUSE release on Facebook, Linked-In and other social media sites.
* See http://en.opensuse.org/Marketing/SocNet for additional tips on social media marketing. (And feel free to join in!)
* If you have a blog, please be sure to take a few minutes to post about openSUSE. Original posts are great, but if you're feeling a bit of writer's block it's perfectly acceptable to copy the openSUSE announcement from news.opensuse.org when it's released and post that. (Please link back to the post, though!)
* Once you've downloaded 11.2, please burn a copy or two (or three... or one hundred...) and pass them on to friends, family, co-workers, etc. who might benefit from using Linux.
Also: through Sunday we're taking votes to decide what cover the openSUSE 11.2 promo DVD (the DVD we hand out at events, etc.) will have. We have three awesome designs from the community - help us decide which to pick here: http://www.dissociatedpress.net/2009/11/05/opensuse-dvdcd-cover-art-opinions...
Thanks, and have a lot of fun!

Perhaps it would be informative to have a side-by-side comparison of the main releases (openSUSE_11.2, SLES_11, Buildservice-addons, ubuntu_9.10, fedora_11, centos_5.4, ...) , and what version the most important packages have. (total count of available packages?) see: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse (but here you have only package versions _within_ one distro, not between distro's) hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
