[opensuse-marketing] PC Pro Linux magazine and what they say about openSUSE
by Jos Poortvliet 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Heya all, A reminder: PC Pro magazine is crowd-sourcing their Linux coverage, a great chance to add some Green to a largely Ubuntu-centric magazine! Bruo Canning (in CC) has already done an awesome job on the page about openSUSE and I did some additions myself but a bit of review and fine tuning won't hurt. Remember, we have the openSUSE Talking points which could be very helpful: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Talking_points This link takes you directly to the page: http://78.31.104.140/~jonbray/mediawiki/index.php?title=OpenSUSE Thanks and hugs all, 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] Gplus Counter
by DuBois, Scott L. 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hi All, Just wanted to give a heads up that the counter that was posted yesterday in G+ is working. I was thinking maybe just leave it as the last post until after release so it stays there at the top of the list? -- God bless !

Heya, If you feel like helping out a bit with openSUSE 12.2 release marketing, there's a rather important task to be done: populating http://en.opensuse.org/Screenshots What needs to be done is: taking the screen shots from here: https://github.com/openSUSE/Press-Kit/tree/12.2/English/Images And uploading them to http://en.opensuse.org/Screenshots ! I'd be VERY grateful for help! Hugs, Jos

[opensuse-marketing] Short success story
by Strainu 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi, First, sorry for replying to another thread, hope it won't mess you email client. I want to share a small openSUSE brand awareness success story with you. Last month I was in Washington for Wikimania and in one of the days I went to visit the Capitol wearing my openSUSE T-shirt. While I was waiting at the ticket counter, a guy from the Capitol police came to me and said: „hey, are you using opensuse?” I said yes and he continued: „it'a great os, i love it because i don't have all those problems with viruses.” I was very happy to see people on the street recognised our brand and were aware they could interact with us.

Of the machines available to me ( Dell, HP Workstations; Dell, HP, and Lenovo business laptops, and a home-build AMD Fusion-based HTPC) only the Lenovo T60p (which is ancient) booted properly on RC2. Amazingly enough, it boots to a desktop via a live USB stick in <12 seconds. I spent 4 hours monkeying with compiling proprietary drivers and tweaking grub options to get a graphical boot (the open-source driver apparently doesn't support Fusion APUs, or didn't in RC2). So, everywhere else, I'll still running Tumbleweed, and honestly I'm a bit afraid for Sept. 5. ... but to your point ... GNOME 3.4 offers *huge* improvements in usability and customization, and I'm looking forward to using it everywhere. -- James Mason SUSE Studio Developer openSUSE Member+Ambassador 2925 Roeder Ave #300 Bellingham, WA 98225-2065 USA +1 360 752 6707 jmason(a)suse.com SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner(a)opensuse.org
