[opensuse-marketing] Weekly Newsletter Schedule/Workflow
by Jan-Simon Möller 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

Hi @all! Just a quick note on the schedule/workflow for the Weekly Newsletter. All times are UTC ;). Allover the week, we collect interesting links on the future issue's page like so: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/51 That's the next issue's page, but basically: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/XX Where XX is +1 from the last published issue number. If you have a wiki account, you can just edit it directly. Put in a link/short note or an prepared article. All submissions are welcome - we're not google, so we don't notice all interesting stuff ;) . Deadline is 18h UTC/thursday. On thursdays between 19h and 21h UTC, we meet in #opensuse-project (or skype) and sort out the collected news and put the newsletter together. You can join us if you like, but the time is not really fixed - just as time permits. It should be ready on thursday 23h UTC. If a part is missing, I'll delay the "ready mail". On fridays (and if needed saturdays) its the time for our translators. As we're in different time-zones, we sync our status on the "Whats ready page": http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/Translations/Ready If all translations are ready, we'll announce the newsletter immediately on news.o.o and the opensuse and opensuse-announce mailinglists. Announcements to the localized mailinglists are done by our translators. The announcement will happen at the latest on Saturday 21h UTC (Sunday 9h UTC, if late ;) ). If a language is not ready, at least the English newsletter should be copied or the output of the translation-tool with the "Draft" note at the top. Thats because of the links - they should not point to a nonexistant page! So in short: Deadline for adding News: Thu 18h UTC Editorial team meeting: Thu between 19h UTC and 21h UTC Translations: Fri/Sat ("soft" deadline Sat 20h UTC) Announcement: Sat 21h UTC (or Sun 9h UTC) Localized annoucements follow. @all newsletter writers/translators: You do a great job! Keep up and have phun! Best regards, Jan-Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Launch Party DVDs
by Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

Hi all, For everyone planning a launch party - I am having a small batch of openSUSE DVDs duplicated (as opposed to replicated) for the launch. So, if you're having a launch party and have an expected # of attendees, please send me an email with the following: # of attendees / DVDs needed Contact name Address to send to Phone # for shipping contact URL to your blog post announcing your launch party This is first-come, first-served. If you've contacted me previously, please send another email anyway to confirm. Note that this is NOT for personal use DVDs or anything. The launch party needs to be on the wiki as well. If you get pre-launch DVDs, I do expect some follow-up posts & pictures! :-) We're working to get a small batch made up for the 18th, but that date may slide -- so if you're planning a party, it's more than OK to schedule it on the 19th or slightly later. Let me know if you have any questions.

[opensuse-marketing] Facebook App, anyone?
by Bryen 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

If anyone here knows how to design a Facebook app, I have an idea. There's a Facebook openSUSE group that actually has over 1,300 members in the group. Some of us on Facebook may have noticed a rather cool app just before the U.S. Elections where the app would change your status to remind people to vote for (insert your candidate here.) Wouldn't it be great if we could create a similar app that changes your status to "openSUSE 11.1 is released! Download it now!"? If we could get all 1300 of those group members to use that app, that's some serious viral marketing.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE calendar
by Stephen Shaw 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

I was wondering if its worth having a google calendar for all events openSUSE. Like conferences, meetings, releases, milestones, etc. That way people can look at a calendar and find out when all of the openSUSE related events are happening.

[opensuse-marketing] openSUSE Weekly News : Editor Note and Signup as New Contributor

Hi all, In previous issue (#48), we have an editor note about openSUSE Weekly News Team and how to signup as new contibutor but I didn't see this on current issue. Is this true specialized for issue #48 only or is this a missing item. Another few suggestion. We have agree to move our discussion about weekly news on opensuse-marketing mailing list but we still have : If you would like to be a part of the openSUSE Weekly news, then please send an email over to opensuse-project(a)opensuse.org I think it would be better to send the application over opensuse-marketing list, although it's also part of opensuse-project. -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org
