by Olaf Runge 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Hi, ich weiß nicht, ob ich mit der von mir ausgewählten Mailadresse richtig liege. in meinem letzten Urlaub auf Madagaskar hatte ich Gelegenheit, einige schöne Fotos von Chamäleons dem Logo von openSuSe anzufertigen. als langjähriger Nutzer und Fan der Linux-Distribution openSuSe wollte ich versuchen etwas zum Gelingen des Projektes beitragen und diese Bilder zur Verfügung stellen. Teilt mir einfach mit, ob Interesse besteht, und wie ich diese dann Euch zukommen lassen kann. Ein sehr gelungens Foto füge ich dieser Mail als Anhang bei. Es grüsst Olaf Runge Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Str. 7 53225 Bonn

[opensuse-marketing] Need design help
by Jos Poortvliet 20 May '12

20 May '12

Heya all, I'll be printing a number of nice, glossy brochures for artists using openSUSE. If this works out we can improve on it and do something more with the concept of having non-openSUSE projects endorsing us at our booths. But for now, I have added 2 openSUSE pages to the last pages of the whole document (below a cut-down version of the document). I have text, images - and even a quote from the Krita maintainer suggesting artists that openSUSE is the best out there :D What is less good is that my design skills - or lack there-of - are very visible. last two pages will be the inside- and outside of the last page of the brochure (it's a 24 page small book, a4 size). I need somebody to make them look pretty. They can be redesigned any way anyone of you see fit... Anyone willing to make this look a bit better? Again, JUST care about the *last two pages*. it would even be fine to send me a PDF or even image with just the last 2 pages as output back - I can then do the change myself on the original document (which is 50 MB, hence this smaller one). http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/about-krita-oS.odt It would be nice to have it sometime this week... :D Thanks, Jos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] writing help for openstack?
by Jos Poortvliet 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

anyone interested in this writing job? It's about openStack on openSUSE which is available thanks to work by B1 and the boosters (among other things, you need to figure out if they worked together on this!) I wrote down a few pointers and links where you can get info for the article but otherwise - it is empty and you'll have to set the direction. http://news.opensuse.org/?p=13018&preview=true I think it's best to make it a kind of big-ish announcement: openStack is availalbe for openSUSE, this is where to get it and how to use it (short) with links. And some history on where it came from (B1, SUSE becoming platinum partner of openStack, boosters worked on it, etc). Should be done in the next few days... Who's up for it? /Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Webinar Hosting
by Bryen M Yunashko 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Over the weekend, I met the president of a LUG in Michigan while I was in Indiana. He expressed a past interest in getting someone to come to one of his LUG meeting to talk about openSUSE. Upon closer examination, I realized it wasn't financially feasible to make a trip to Michigan for an evening meeting (thus also having to stay overnight) as his LUG has only about 15 members. And I started to think about who might be closer that can go to that specific city. (Ann Arbor) That size is typical for a large number of LUGs out there. I suggested perhaps we can do an online webinar of some sort, and he liked that idea. The more I thought about this since then, the more I think we should organize a formal webinar program here at openSUSE. We can use these webinars to give focused presentations to LUG groups. We can also meet with more than one LUG group at a time, thus covering greater distances in the same amount of time. We could, and should, also use the same concept and service to create openSUSE tutorials and other online presentation events that appeal to people beyond just LUGs. For example, if we launch a new product/service/update, we can host a Q&A webinar for journalists. A nice online OBS webinar tutorial also comes to mind. There's plenty of commercial software out there that we can use and not have to worry about hosting the software. Some of us have already done meetings via Skype to LUGs. But a) some people have an objection to using non-free software for webinars, and b) those services can cost money, although they provide a hosting service, thus taking away our own need to provide infrastructure. I think we should actively look at viable open source options and address the feasbility of hosting it within our own infrastructure. And then begin a formal scheduling strategy of webinar events to promote as well as reaching out to LUGs around the world to invite them to request a "virtual" guest speaker at their next meetings. These meetings/tutorials offer the benefit of live interaction with the community as well as a way to archive our sessions for those who are not able to attend live. Thoughts, folks?
