Do you have a passion for Linux and a desire to promote openSUSE?
Would you like to paint the world's desktops openSUSE green? If so,
the openSUSE marketing team wants you!

Some of the things the marketing team should address:

* Ensure we publicize community events and meetings to maximize
turnout and participation
* Write articles, sneak peeks, and other features for news.opensuse.org
* Create artwork, banners, logos, etc. for openSUSE
* Help organize launch parties, local events, installfests, and
talks at LUGs
* Support the openSUSE booth at shows
* Create presentations and materials that can be reused to promote openSUSE
* Give presentations about openSUSE, the openSUSE Build Service,
Linux, and other related topics to interested groups

In short, we're looking for openSUSE contributors (and potential
contributors) to help publicize community events more effectively, so
anyone who's interested in contributing to openSUSE knows how they can
do so and when meetings are being held, etc — and also to help promote
openSUSE to the rest of the world, so everyone has a chance to
experience Linux.

I've spoken with a number of people in the past few months who have
expressed an interest in being part of a marketing team, so here's
your chance to get involved! I blogged about the marketing team a few
days ago, and several openSUSE contributors have already started
signing up.

This is a particularly good opportunity for non-developers who want to
find a way to contribute to openSUSE. If you can write, have artistic
skills, want to create and/or deliver presentations, staff a booth, or
have a knack for organizing, we'd love to have you on the team.

I'd like to start off with a discussion on the newly minted mailing
list (thanks, Henne!) and then find a suitable time to hold meetings
on IRC to get coordinated.

With openSUSE 11.0 rapidly approaching, there's plenty to do, so if
you'd like to help spread Linux, start your favorite email client and
send a subscribe request to opensuse-marketing+subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
