by Bryen 12 May '09

12 May '09

Folks, Tomorrow, 13-May-2009, at 19:30 UTC, the Marketing team has added a new session "Maximizing Social Networking for openSUSE." We'll be discussing our existing efforts with various services such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Digg, etc. and how we can improve our presence on those services. This should prove to be a very interesting session and I think something that we all can join the conversation on. See you all in #opensuse-marketing on the Freenode IRC Channel! -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member openSUSE-GNOME Team Member GNOME-A11y Team Member www.bryen.com (Personal Blog) www.planet-a11y.net (Feed aggregator of the Accessibility Community) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help(a)opensuse.org
