[opensuse-marketing] OpenSUSE 11.1 CD artwork
by Adi Nugroho 15 Dec '08

15 Dec '08

In 20th December, just in a very few days after opensuse 11.1 is released, we will make the release party in Makassar, Indonesia. We have to burn about 200 DVDs. My question is: how about the artwork? Is there an artwork or opensuse 11.1 logo?

[opensuse-marketing] Takes a lot longer now

I see the more translators we got the longer it takes to publish weekly news :) Maybe we shouldn't stick to the Friday release but to the third day after finishing English version :)?? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Script for Shadowed Thumbnails
by Francis Giannaros 14 Dec '08

14 Dec '08

When I was writing the sneak peek articles the last few times I used a little script to generate shadowed thumbnails,[0] which just makes the images look that little bit nicer. So feel free to use it as well. How to get it running (as user, not root): cd ~/bin wget http://francis.giannaros.org/files/shadow.txt mv shadow.{txt,py} && chmod +x shadow.py Now in a new session you can just use it like this: shadow.py Original-Image.png Original-Image-Thumb.png --noframe --width 200 Then you can just upload both of the images and link to the original image in the <a> tag and put the img src as the thumbnail. Hope this helps.

[opensuse-marketing] Earlier release?
by Piotrek Juzwiak 13 Dec '08

13 Dec '08

I was thinking if it is possible to publish next Weekly News earlier on 18th December? It's a special occasion so it needs special treatment :)??

Thats a good thought - but make a suggestion for the release date then. All content gets "old" if we delay it too much. E.g. monday would be too late and also my RSS-Feed gets filled with new stuff then. On the other hand, the newsletter is a collection/overview of the last week. People read it to get to know what happened without scanning through different mailinglists/blogs/planet/news.o.o/forum . I think its really good to have the newsletter ready for the weekend. Also: Keep the different timezones in mind! We won't hit a "good" timeframe everywhere. Atm I'd stick to the schedule, but keep your suggestions in mind.

[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
