Question from Microsoft geeks on my FB page
by Jimmy Pierre 10 Mar '11

>>>Does Hyper V support openSUSE 11.4 natively? What would you answer? I run openSUSE on Virtual box, VMware, Xen, really not 100% sure. However, SLED/SLES are supported natively! Tricky hey?

To: Jos Poortvliet <jospoortvliet(a)gmail.com>, opensuse-ambassadors(a)opensuse.org Dear ambassadors, I am from Bangladesh and our whole community is eagerly waiting for openSUSE 11.4 to come. Already i am requested by around 50 people to send then DVD which I will do as soon as it is out. We share the news through our online forum and blog. It would be very nice if I can translate the portal page and product highlights in Bengali. Can you please tell me from where i can start translating that page. I think there is no Bengali section in the wiki, so what should I do. Thanks.

Hi all, Thx Jos. I just ran through the slides and notes and it looks like a good alternative to your SCALE presentation... so I'm now evaluating which direction I might want to go.. Distro-centric like this presentation or touching more on the other openSUSE projects like in your SCALE presentation. Some recommendations and some modifications I'm making to my copy... - I usually prefer to "bullet" my notes, stating topics in 5 words or less at a time. That enables me to glance at the topic, then speak to the audience. Anything longer makes me pause to read, then digest in my mind before speaking which hurts my audience eye contact. - Just my style which isn't necessarily recommended to others, but I usually embed major bullet points on the slide instead of hiding in notes. That enables the audience to visually absorb the information both previewing and reviewing the points as I speak. I rarely fill the whole screen with a screenshot, and if I do then the target content in the screenshot is <very large> unless the overall look is the important point. Note that when placing text content on the screen it's still critical to talk to the audience and not to the screen which is likely behind you. I don't think there should be a problem posting to your Google Docs, then sharing the "Place" with others.The only practical restriction is a 100mb total repository size. In fact, take a look at what I've done enabling presentations to be seen from a free Google website displaying content stored in Google Docs. You can configure permissions for Public (no restrictions to view) Private (only people with specified Google accounts can view) Link only (not publicly searchable, anyone who has a link (eg from email) can view) All the presentations on my site are longer than yours. Note that besides viewing online, there is a download link on each presentation as well http://sites.google.com/site/4techsecrets/slide-presentations Good stuff Jos, Tony On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 6:19 AM, Jos Poortvliet <JPoortvliet(a)novell.com> wrote: > > Dear friends, > > I realize this is very late in the game, however I hope it is still > useful.

[opensuse-marketing] Time to get social. Help promote openSUSE 11.4.
by Chuck Payne 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

Lady and Gentlemen, On March 10th it time to get Social. It's time to take a moment and help promote the release of openSUSE 11.4 to the massess. So we are asking all members to help promote openSUSE 11.4 via the social networks. Via Facebook, MySpace, Twitter/Identi.ca/FriendFeed/Google Buzz, and Linked/Xing. I will also like to ask that you help vote openSUSE 11. on Free Software Daily (Link to come on Thrusday) On Facebook we asked that you share the news from the two openSUSE groups. We are also willing to post your news on to those pages. Anything to get the news out. We will asked everyone to help us get the word out on Identica/Twitter/FriendFeed. We will be using the hash tag #opensuse. We asked that if you can please retweet, doesn't have to be right away, but if you wait 10 to 20 minutes from the last retwit that would be great. We like to get on the front of twitter home page. We know that some of you don't use twitter so you use one of the above, it would be great to get top of those services as well. If you don't mind posting new on your LinkedIn or Xing account as well, that would be prefect. The key is to use these Social Networks to help promote the release of openSUSE 11.4. We have a ton of members world wide. Post in English and Posted in your native tongue. I really like to see on the openSUSE Facebook page, stuff in other languages so that we can show all on Facebook that we have a very large openSUSE Community. To all the ambassador, now is your time to do your job and promote, promote, and promote. Please if I forgot your favorite Social Network group, please let me know. Lets make March 10th, a truly get openSUSE Release Day. (PS. Sorry for the cross posting, you can give me lashes after March 10th, but I want to make sure everyone gets this. ) -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!
