Hello, you all! Back from Nürnberg it come in my mind than Nürnberg being the SUSE birth place, we may have to go there again and that some hints I used can be usefull again. So I wrote a SDB article for the wiki. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Moving_in_Nürnberg Eventually, if you couldn't come, this may give you some images of what we did :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.youtube.com/user/jdddodinorg http://jdd.blip.tv/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

openSUSE Magazine
by differentreality 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi all! One of the ideas that popped up during the marketing hackfest here today was that of making an openSUSE magazine with focus on the conference proceedings and the cool stuff that happened since the last conference. The magazine would contain articles on the main highlights of the past year (Year is the time period between two conferences), interviews with key people, reviews and articles about the current conference etc. We would like to get a feedback on the idea and a few key topics that you think should be covered. Any authors who want to help with articles, please say so on the mailing list as we need more people to work on the articles. The topics, however, should focus on either key events that took place since last conference (like tumbleweed, evergreen, connect etc) or should be an article about oSC11 (or any particular session of it). We would also like a few miscellaneous topics that relates to openSUSE and linux at large. I hope all of you would like the idea and would contribute to our efforts to make openSUSE even more famous and awesome. Please let us know your thoughts (& your willingness to help). For additional info you can reply to the mailing list or send an email to differentreality(a)gmail.com ( plz use as subject: openSUSE magazine ) Regards, N.B.Prashanth - nbprash.mit(a)gmail.com Stella Rouzi - differentreality(a)gmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-ambassadors] Re: [opensuse-marketing] Feedback form for events
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hello friends, Finally I've found time to create the form. You saw that I was traveling Greece to promote openSUSE (all alone :-( ). Since we didn't have any other changes, I made a Google form. You can find it here http://bit.ly/nUymen I remind you that the file you can print is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8327991/openSUSE_marketing_survey_draft_v2.odt I see that the system gives a calc file that we can process the results. Mr Clark, Jos, AJ, or Henne (I know you're on vacation now) please tell me to share the file with you. Tell me if this is OK. Thanks for your support Have a lot of fun Stathis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

SFD event at Hong Kong
by Koushik Kumar Nundy 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hi all, I participated in a Software Freedom Day[1] event on Saturday, held at the City University of Hong Kong[2], at which Hong Kong Linux Users' Group[3] were one of the primary organisers. I plan to write a detailed report and will post it and the photos as soon as I get some time. Meanwhile, some basic data for starters: Turnout: Over 100 Topics covered at talks: MeeGo, Java, 3D modelling hardware(Reprap), free drivers, Python, etc Distros present : Mainly Debian, some Ubuntu, a fedora guy, 2 redhat guys, a couple of Meego people, and myself(openSUSE). Projects present(non-distro): Mozilla, GNU(saw no people, only goodies), Creative Commons, Java, Python, GNOME. DVDs distributed: 50 promo DVDs, 20 Li-f-e DVDs, 5 KDE Live CDs, 10 downloaded DVDs, 5 copied ISOs off my laptop. (Unfortunately, I had too few DVDs, and demand was quite appreciable) I mostly distributed a copy of [4] with the DVDs, mainly because most seemed to be non-beginners, and potential contributors even in the short term. It would probably have been better if some goodies/sticker could be arranged, but I was not sure if I could attend.

Sorry for the cross-post, but although these seems to be an ambassador presence, most SFD reports are coming in on the marketing list. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

I believe it'd be a good idea to not just include events, but some tutorials/troubleshooters as well. In such a case, the magazine can be more attractive to the new/novice openSUSE/Linux users.

Release parties 12.1
by Mike Veltman 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

This time I want to start on time :) So what are the plans of other people on this. For me I plan to have a release party at our regular meeting and invite some aditional people. I do need some flyer's and logo's though. Where can I find the new 12.1 logo's. Because maybe I didn't look right but I can not find them. And I want to print the stuff in time.

Question at the International Trade Fair
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hello oScers and rest of us, I have couple of questions (I might miss to read the answers). People at the Trade Fair in my city asked me: 1. Source of income for openSUSE. Why do you promote it? 2. Source of income for you. Why do you promote it? You know that the situation in my country (Greece) about economy is strange, so people ask those questions. Please write some possible answers the next 3-4 days... Thanks Stathis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org

by Jos Poortvliet 11 Sep '11

11 Sep '11

Hi all, Bernhard Wiedemann came up with the idea to organize a pizza party around the beta release of openSUSE. For those who don't know yet, the next milestone for openSUSE 12.1 (number 6) will be renamed Beta! So, maybe some of you want to organize a party too... We will announce this on Thursday, but a temporary article is online: http://news.opensuse.org/?p=10998&preview=true Please let me know thoughts and suggestions. Feel free to fix/improve the wiki pages I created for this or tell me what you need ;-) Thanks, Jos
