Hi all, April 16-17 in Antwerp, Belgium, the Linux Open Administration Days will take place. This free event offers a chance for LPI certification as well as meeting and talking to linux sysadmins. There is a call for presentations here: http://www.loadays.org/content/call-presentations If you want to go and give a talk there about openSUSE tech - that's be awesome. If you can't afford to go there due to travel or hotel costs, let me know, we might be able to work something out ;-) cheers, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Where to buy openSUSE dvds?
by Andreas Jaeger 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hi, I've had a little look around the web to look where you can buy openSUSE DVDs - just the DVD - and like to know what you are aware of and can recommend? Just some examples I found: http://www.osdisc.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi/products/linux/suse http://www.thelinuxcdstore.com/index.php?cPath=25&osCsid=60f8bbf19445ce5326… http://easylinuxcds.com/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=prodshow&ref=opensuse&sid=ya8… Where would you buy if openSUSE was on offer?

[opensuse-marketing] physical banner
by jdd 18 May '11

18 May '11

Do you know we can have real banners printed for a very small fee? This one, for my LUG: http://dodin.org/piwigo/picture.php?/44057/tags/377-culte_linux was paid less than $30 (adress as PM only) I would like to make one for the french group, similar to this one: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Banners So, I need the original vector one (svg?) Where can I find it? Of course I will have to ask for autorisation, as it will be translated, but I will first discuss translation content with the french people. thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pi… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Thoughts on openSUSE Conference Name
by Bryen M. Yunashko 06 May '11

06 May '11

Folks, I'm sending this to both the marketing and artwork mailing lists as an action item from the openSUSE Conference Program Committee's last meeting. In a nutshell, we have two names proposed for the Conference: "Collaboration Across Borders II" and "rwxrwxrwx" (or rwx3) which is a play on the read-write-execute permissions of the Linux file systems. While the Program Committee will ultimately choose which one to select, we felt it was fair to talk to both the marketing and artwork teams to hear which ones you consider more feasible for marketability. To the Marketing Team: Think about what would be the pros and cons of marketing the conference for each of the names. For the artwork team: Think about the potential designs you could work with for each name. E.g. t-shirts, posters, banners. You can even do mockups if you wish, but please don't spend a lot of time making up design proposals because I wouldn't want to see your work go to waste if we go a different way. You can read my thoughts on the naming choices for some personal insight on my blog at http://www.bryen.com/whats-in-a-name/. And I would suggest also reading Yaloki's summary (and meeting log) to get a fuller idea of our own pros and cons for each name. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2011-04/msg00333.html I'll gather up your thoughts and concerns and present them to the team at our next meeting this Thursday. Thanks teams! Bryen M Yunashko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Who deploys/admins this Marketing List?
by Tony Su 02 May '11

02 May '11

Am just a bit tired of the "Reply To" misconfiguration for this Mail List, would like to contact whoever is the Admin to assist in fixing. Clicking "Reply" should not point to the original individual, it should point to the Mail List. It's been a long while since I've run into this problem which is simple to fix, IIRC I last ran into this because it was the default configuration for the very popular Mailman app. The other time it was even longer ago on a Yahoo mail list...

[opensuse-marketing] New URLs for Marketing
by Bryen M. Yunashko 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hey folks, We have some useful redirects on our wiki that we should be aware of for marketing purposes. opensuse.org/Upgrade (You already know this one) opensuse.org/Communication redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels opensuse.org/Ambassadors redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:/Ambassadors_list opensuse.org/GNOME3 redirects to http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0 All of these redirects should be used instead of the full length URL when using in print (e.g. flyers, brochures, posters, etc.) because they will look cleaner. Enjoy! Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

Also I'm thinking that from topics that people propose, something will emerge - whatever people are generally most interested in right now and things they are working on, there might be a bit of a trend. Someone mentioned Cloud - yes, it's something we're maybe hearing too much of but it is still in the ascendant so there could be something there. Any artwork ideas we generate in the process can always be repurposed. Loved Robert's concept too. I thought it was more 3D 8-bit than Lego, but there are many possible connections there with 'old fashioned' ways of doing things, three dimensional stuff, construction, simplification (Factory?) -- IRC: helen_au helen.south(a)opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
