translations for the posters

Heya all, I forgot to git add the translations of the posters, I am uploading them now. Will take a few hours on my slow connection, sorry! I would still appreciate it if someone with a fast computer and a fast connection could create PDF and PNG files for the many svg based posters. That makes it much easier for people to download and print! I am currently trying to find out what to print and how many. You can surely count on the Chinese and Portugese one to be printed, not sure about the rest yet :D Cheers, Jos

Kablink for openSUSE?
by Roger Luedecke 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

I think using Kablink for openSUSE would be a great idea. Kablink is the opensource version of Novell Vibe OnPrem. I made an openFATE feature, and ask that before you vote on it, you be sure to follow the links to really understand the enormous potential this technology has of enabling us to do better work. https://features.opensuse.org/312952 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org

Translation of openSUSE posters
by Jos Poortvliet 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Heya all, I've just finished updating the posters we made last year at SCALE in the USA. They are ready for translation and I can then print a bunch in time for the openSUSE 12.1 release parties! Who's up for translating them? download the svg files at the link below, translate them (open in Inkscape, edit the text) and mail them back to me... I will try to get at least Spanish (in the USA and Brazil and Spain), Portugese (Brazil), Chinese (Taiwan/China) and a few European languages (German, French, more?) printed. Of course IF they are translated :D Find the posters here: https://github.com/openSUSE/artwork/tree/master/posters/openSUSE%20is%20coo… The files: FlyerFINALVERSION-OBS-STUDIO-KIWI_11x17-light.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-AppInstaller-Desktop-connect_11x17-light.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-Tumbleweed_11x17-light.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-OBS-STUDIO-KIWI_11x17.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-AppInstaller-Desktop-connect_11x17.svg FlyerFINALVERSION-Tumbleweed_11x17.svg I made the light ones new but can't really decide if they look better or not. I DO know the light ones will be easier to print, the normal ones can be problematic in that regard due to the heavy use of black which makes the paper wet and soft... We will have to see with the printers which ones they can print. We do kind'a need to get this translated before Wednesday so we can start printing... Thanks in advance! Cheers, Jos

Linus Torvalds wants to use openSUSE?
by Jan Krings 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hey Geekos, I just read an Online-Interview with Linus Torvalds in a big German Newspaper "Die Zeit". http://www.zeit.de/digital/internet/2011-11/linux-thorvalds-interview He said on the question which Distribution he use: "That may change, but right now I'm using Fedora 14, Fedora 15 is such a disaster ... OpenSUSE is possibly my next choice. Suse I used ten years ago and then I someday switched to Fedora. Now I could go back to Suse, but I could also go over to Debian. Debian is the only distribution that I've never really used. We will see." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org
