Mailinglist Archive: opensuse-marketing (508 mails)

[Jos Poortvliet <jospoortvliet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear friends,

We have an interesting opportunity before us to communicate to people who 
might not be fans of or very much aware of openSUSE. Novell is setting up a 
mailinglist system for SUSE Studio. Users of Studio are categorized in ISV, 
individual user, corporate user and open source project. Now the second and 
last categories we could spam once a month or so with something like a 
newsletter talking about openSUSE. Just an idea of course, we could also send 
them daily viagra mail but I bet they'll block SUSE Studio mail if we do that 
:D

Now we can discuss the usual riff-raff of ideas. I can think of a few myself - 
as usual, ideas are cheap. It's the work that counts. So let me introduce, 
just for this discussion, an interesting rule: if you add an idea, that means 
you are willing to do it. For example, if person X will say "we could do a 
monthly newsletter" that means that person X is willing and committed to do 
it. Or doesn't share the idea.

NOW let's see how many ideas there are ;-)

Cheers,
Jos
