by Bryen M Yunashko 02 Apr '12

By now, most of you have heard the openSUSE Summit is officially announced. [1] What's next? Spread the word! :-) 1. We have a Facebook Event page. Please go to this page and a) add yourself, b) invite others to the Event page. The more people we spread the word to, the better awareness out there. 2. We have settled on #ossum12 as our official Summit hashtag for Twitter. Please use this to help promote the Summit. 3. I'm still learning this, but seems Pinterest is the latest rage in social media. I created a bulletin board with some pins at [3]. You can join Pinterest via Twitter or Facebook. Let me know and I'll add you as a contributor to the board. 4. We need people to maintain on Google+ and LinkedIn as well. I don't work on those networks, so someone else needs to volunteer, please. 5. We need Spanish-speaking translators to help spread the word to nearby Spanish-speaking countries as this will be a bi-lingual event. Thanks! Bryen M Yunashko Let's Engage! Collaborate! Invigorate! at openSUSE Summit http://summit.opensuse.org Follow us on Twitter: #ossum12 [1] news.opensuse.org: http://news.opensuse.org/2012/03/29/opensuse-summit-geeko-ing-up-website-up… [2] Facebook Event Page: http://www.facebook.com/events/263835230372972/ [3] Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/bryen/opensuse-summit/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello Jos, According to KDE-Akademy "Call for papers" [1] , [2] i have to send an e-mail at akademy-es-org(a)kde-espana.es before 18/04 in which i include a brief summary of the presentation. At 23/04 the accepted presentations will be announced. So i follow the steps ;) Furthermore i will have a look at our repo [3] and Talking Points [4] as well.

Hi Jos! My name is Athanasios-Ilias Rousinopoulos. We met in Fosdem this year. Well i leave and study in Madrid (Master in Free Software). I'll be in Madrid during May and June , so i'm able to attend at this event. Furthermore i took part in LSWC '11 (http://zoumpis.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/lswc11-zaragoza-spain-report-en/) where i saw a presentation about AZLinux and discussed with the people there.

Want to help with something simple yet important?
by Jos Poortvliet 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Heya all, I've got a task for which I just can't manage to find time. I have wanted to do this forever: get the translated brochure texts from the odt files into the actual brochure svg files. This will require some knowledge of the language used: you'll often have to re-format or rewrite parts to make it fit and not sound weird. Otherwise it is not a terribly complicated thing to do, see the page I wrote on how to do this: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Inkscape Translation Review of that page is of course also very welcome! So see if you have time and can help out a bit here... Thanks, Jos

Fwd: openSUSE in Akademy-es
by Jos Poortvliet 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

Heya all, See below an invite for an openSUSE talk at Akademy-es! the CfP is wrong (they are fixing it) The event is from May, Friday 19 to Sunday 20th. Anyone able/willing to go? Email abenito at the KDE.org servers or talk to me! Cheers, Jos ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: openSUSE in Akademy-es Date: Wednesday 21 March 2012, 17:50:04 From: Agustin Benito (toscalix) <abenito@xxxxxxx> To: Jos Poortvliet (you know) CC: Other people Hi Jos, it would be great to have somebody from openSUSE giving a talk in [1]Akademy-es on May 20th in Saragossa. Its municipality uses openSUSE + GNOME so the person you send can also open a channel with them. It is the most advance migration project in small public administrations in spain (municipalities). On May 18th we will have some talks for wide audience. Since openSUSE does a great job with KDE, maybe talking about the news related with the destop and other services could be a good one. [2]Call for papers is open until April 23th. We expect about 80 people there.

Hi All, Received the Promo DVDs at my place in Assam, India. Thanks to AJ and Sankar.
