[opensuse-marketing] Viral marketing (not openSUSE-specific)
by Joe Brockmeier 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Hi all, As we're thinking about ways to promote openSUSE, I'd recommend taking a look at this post by Seth Godin: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/12/what-is-viral-m.html Any thoughts along those lines would be appreciated. One thing I'm thinking about for a giveaway at shows next year would be, instead of just stickers and so forth, something useful -- like a Zypper, or Bash, or Vim reference card with the openSUSE logo. Thoughts?

[opensuse-marketing] Ad/Poster
by Sync 28 Dec '08

28 Dec '08

Hello fellow SUSE users: I had a little ad/poster/flier, whatever you want to call it, that I made in The Gimp. Figured I'd link to it in here, and you can spread it as you wish. http://sync350.dyndns.org/opensuse.png ~~~~sync -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] newsletter team - spellchecking on the console using aspell
by Jan-Simon Möller 27 Dec '08

27 Dec '08

Hi @all! I just tried aspell as spellchecker for the en.txt and want to share my experiences in a step-by-step howto: 1st check if aspell is installed for your language: zypper se aspell If needed, install additional packages like so: zypper in aspell-id aspell-pt_BR Assuming your translated text is in a file called mytranslation.txt, you can start the spellchecker like this: aspell --encoding=utf-8 -l pt_BR -c mytranslation.txt Attention! It will edit the original file and save a backup in mytranslation.txt.bak . Have phun!

[opensuse-marketing] Issue 52 / Schedule
by Jan-Simon Möller 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Hi @all! Merry Christmas! As we have holidays now, i'd like to try the schedule proposed by Zonker: Editing until saturday, translation until monday night and release on tuesday. That way we shoud get more time for translation and possibly a higher coverage. We did prepare also a "Best of newsletter 2008" this time, so stay tuned. You'll get usual "ready-mail" on Saturday. We got some new translators and will hopefully be able to have new languages ready for issue 52. Have some nice holidays!

[opensuse-marketing] EULA on openSUSE-Edu & Default on Software Search
by Masim "Vavai" Sugianto 25 Dec '08

25 Dec '08

Hi, 1. Today I add the community repositories for openSUSE-Edu and find that it still ask me the EULA (agree or disagree). Is this something different with openSUSE or is this about forgot to updating with the upstream. 2. Software search (http://software.opensuse.org/search) is my fav. With 11.1 release, it seems that default openSUSE on software search still 11.0. I think it would be better to change to latest version as default search. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
