Hello, if someone is bored please look over the English and <your language> Wikipedia articles about openSUSE for obviously wrong or missing stuff, like [1] saying that 5 CDs are required and linking to the old forums and 10.1 reviews. :-) Bye, Steve [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_Linux_distributions [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opensuse -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

by CyberOrg 06 Oct '08

Hello Community I get several requests such as attached, till now I have been encouraging these, is there any policy regarding it or I can go ahead and let them do openSUSE promotion if it is of appropriate standard.

R. > I think we are a little bit confused and this issue is related to the thread in marketing ML. http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-marketing/2008-10/msg00005.html There are two teams for translation now, Translation team and Localization team. *Translation* team handles mainly the translation of Wiki and is discussing issues on 'opensuse-*wiki* ML'. On the other hand, *Localization* team handles mainly the translation of applications and discussing issues on 'opensuse-*translation* ML'. I think that's why we are confused. Additionally, Translation team recognize that translating the new frontpage (http://www.opensuse.org) to other languages is not their task, because the frontpage is outside of the Wiki and they have no privilege to translate it by themselves. In addition to the frontpage and the 'Get It!' page (http://software.opensuse.org/), there are many pages to be translated outside of the Wiki, such as news.opensuse.org, users.opensuse.org, build.opensuse.org... Zonker, just now in Japan, and I were talking about this issue last week. I think we'd better decide it first, which ML is suitable for discussing this issue. Is the translation ML suitable for that ?

[opensuse-marketing] Draft: 3rd anniversary of 1st openSUSE Project release
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi all, Here's a draft I'd like to put out on Oct. 6th (today or tomorrow, depending on your time zone...) Any comments, suggestions, additions? (Note, I'll add the remainder of the links later...) Best, Zonker Third anniversary of openSUSE Project's first release Just three years ago today, the openSUSE Project <a href="http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2005-10/msg00002.html">announced its first release</a>. Andreas Jaeger sent the word out to the opensuse-announce list on October 6, 2005, announcing the release of SUSE Linux 10.0: <blockquote>I'm glad to announce the final version (aka the Goldmaster) of SUSE Linux 10.0. Developing 10.0 as part of the openSUSE project with an open bugzilla was a new and great experience. Thanks a lot to everybody that contributed in testing, reporting and fixing bugs, discussions etc.</blockquote> The 10.0 release featured the latest and greatest free and open source software: the 2.6.13 Linux kernel, Firefox 1.0.6, GNOME 2.12, OpenOffice.org 1.9, and <a href="http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse"much more</a>. The project, which was announced at LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco in August of 2005, has achieved a lot in just three years: * The formation of the openSUSE Board * Five stable releases in three years (10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 11.0) * Introduction and complete re-write of Zypper/libzypp for better package management * More than 200 members approved since the start of the project * Release of the openSUSE Build Service 1.0, which allows complete and transparent participation in building openSUSE Linux * First openSUSE Board elections begun * Launch of News.opensuse.org * Creation of the lizards.opensuse.org portal * Launch of unified English-language openSUSE Forums The openSUSE Project has grown a lot since the first release in 2005, and the future is looking bright! -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager jzb(a)zonker.net http://zonker.opensuse.org/ http://blogs.zdnet.com/community/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Improving the How to Participate
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 03 Oct '08

03 Oct '08

Hi all, We discussed improving the How to Participate page during the IRC meeting today. I just wanted to throw this out to the list as a discussion starter. The page I'm referring to is here: http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Participate The page is a good start, but we need to make it more friendly, and easier to get information from more quickly. Also -- I see that the page is only available in five languages -- this is something else we need to work on, as we definitely want to have the page text available in more languages. Some of the ideas discussed during the meeting: * Videos * Storyboards * Improving the text on the page Other thoughts?
